I saw this in one of my dog catalogs just now. I haven't heard of this 'method' before. Has anyone tried it? Does it work or is it another "gimmick"? Just curious.

"Vibration Trainer"
*Vibration and irritating tone
*Range up to 300 yards
*Compact 3.75-oz. water resistant collar with replaceable 3-volt lithium battery.

Stop annoying, excessive behavior with vibrations -- no electrical static necessary. Negative reinforcement and distraction work together to halt unwanted behavior. Handheld control allows you to pic either vibration alone or vibration with irritatiing tone. You stop the vibration when your dog stops his extreme behavior or when 10 seconds have passed. Includes collar receiver, magnetic keychain, 3 volt battery, and hand held transmitter. Instructions included.

Also known in the trade as a MOBILE PHONE :D

LOL Melody :D :D :D :D

I think I saw this *packaged* as a training aid for *deaf* dogs, as a means to get their attention. Can't remember where now, but I thought I might get one for the old man for when he wanders off in Marks & Sparks :D

As long as he doesn't end up in the underwear department Leigh ;) Did you ever see that episode of Father Ted?

:D

:D

Melody

Nooooooo missed it ....was it good? :-)

Absolutely hysterical Leigh ..if you ever get the chance to watch it DO All 3 priests plus a few more getting lost in the lingerie department of a large department store :D :D

Personally, I'm beginning to think "Heck with the dogs....use it on hubby or kids around the house/yard." The possibilities are endless :D :D :D Instead of being b***hy and having to nag, just "vibrate/annoying" sound to remind to take out the garbage :) Why nag when you can "ring" ??? :P

Put me down for two please, one for hubby and one for son:D Hold on make it three one for the daughter too thanks:D

I hate things that vibrate ... If my mobile is on 'vibrate' and goes off in my pocket, I have a habit of leaping 6 foot in the air and throwing coffee all over myself. You'd think I would be used to it by now, but it gets me every time :rolleyes:

ROTFL

I would pay to see you do that Leigh

;)

Melody

Try leaving one on the kitchen bench and having it vibrate frightened the life out of me:D
Ermmmm and I'm not even going to explore the women and not liking things that vibrate;) :D

ohh Reefer :( :( :( :D

What? I was talking about washing machines, tumble dryers, mixers, fridges (that gentley hum until you tune into them!) and any other domestic appliance that only 'women' seem to have to cope with?

Arent you the smart cookie :) :) :D
