Is the app required?
No. The collar works on its own after setup. The app is optional for fine-tuning and reviewing bark history.
Does it address howling/whining?
Yes—its triple detection is designed to distinguish barking, howling, and whining.
Can I use it like a short-range e-collar?
The app can issue on-collar commands over Bluetooth at close range; intended for quick adjustments rather than long-range training.
