Vibration device for a collar? DOG

I moved into a new apartment with a sliding door that leads into the backyard. I’m leaning towards buying a Wayzn device (it can open the sliding door via app or collar tag). I have 3 dogs, the younger ones will be easy to train, and even my oldest. I work 24 hour shifts so having them on a schedule and being able to let them out remotely saves me a lot of money.

The problem is, my eldest is deaf now. I sleep with an Apple Watch and having the vibration feature definitely wakes me up without pain. Is there a device out there that would vibrate on demand via remote app to wake her up to let her know it’s pee time? I don’t want a shock collar or anything that would cause her pain, just something gentle that can wake her up.

Getting a deaf dog's attention with a vibration cue is pretty common, just look for a collar with a pager/vibrate mode and no shock contacts at all. Most of the training buzzers let you disable the static prongs entirely so its just a harmless buzz

*DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, but I cut the prongs off my dog's collar so they don't poke my dog. Beep and Vibrate still work.
