 This gave me back my HOME and my SANITY! :) August 11, 2010
T. Reed
We went to Petsmart YEARS ago to look at the various bark collars, and the sales people basically shamed us out of buying one, saying that we needed to train our dog better and that it was inhumane to use these things. Well, I couldn't agree more w/ the importance of consistent training, the problem is that you CAN'T consistently train a dog out of nuisance barking without a collar of this sort. This is the only way they'll consistently receive correction for barking when they are not allowed to bark. I wish we bought this years ago when we originally wanted to because it has given me back my home and my sanity.
What made me break down and get one? Well, our son is now 2 yrs old and I'm pregnant again (and VERY tired ALL the time!). Our dogs will bark and wake us up in the morning, which is NOT cool b/c my son will NOT go back to sleep which means neither do I. Then, the mail man and UPS man BOTH come during my son's nap time, and of course our dogs must sound the alarm... and heaven forbid they see a squirrel in the back yard! This cuts my son's nap short which means I have a cranky 2 year old all afternoon! I tried to stay close to them during nap time to manage their barking... and even would fly out of bed to go restrain them in the morning. I knew it was ridiculous when we were on vacation and room service knocked on our hotel room door and I FLEW out of my chair out of habit to restrain and hush the dogs (who were not even with us). Literally any sound will set them off. That's why I say that without a collar YOU can't consistently train your dog not to bark at every little thing- you may be a house length away at the time. By getting a collar you can adjust to suit your dog's temperament, you can ensure consistent correction will be given to your dog as he/she needs it, whether you're close by or not.
So I read a lot of reviews and here's why I chose this collar over other collars:
- It is adjustable- We use level 1 on our 15lb dog and level 2 on our 50lb dog
- It only corrects the dogs when it senses the SOUND AND VIBRATION of barking, so that means if one dog barks both dogs don't get corrected.
- This is good for dogs 8 lbs and over
- It's water proof
- It is light weight
We put the collars on our dogs and they have reduced the noise level in our house immensely. They will still get out one good bark, but they don't keep barking on and on like maniacs. Their necks seem fine- no irritation from the collar. And once they know the results of barking equal correction, they really don't get corrected w/ them much now since they stay much quieter to begin with.
All around I'd say these collars were a great investment.

I purchased this collar to humanely reduce my dog's incessant barking whenever I let her outside. She's an Australian Shepherd that would bark at everything when we let her out, regardless of the time of day or night. The collar did not work like magic, as some other reviews implied. It was more a gradual decline in her barking over a few weeks, but there is definite improvement! We have had no issues with the collar staying fit or irritation to her skin. Her neck mane is pretty thick so we just had to be sure that we got under her coat so there was actual contact, but did not have to trim her hair. I do recommend this product as it has performed as promised and am satisfied with the results.

S. Ricker (Lake Jackson, TX)
I bought two of these collars for use on my pitbull and english pointer. My neighbor complained that they were barking at 5AM when I left for work. These collars stopped the barking completely on only the lowest setting. I like that fact that it times out if they bark a lot in a short period of time as would be the case with an intruder. The only thing I don't like is the specific batteries you have to buy. But, after 4 weeks I'm still on the originals. One downside to the collars, as would be the case with all collars in general, is it pretty much stops the dogs from playing while they are on. You can see this in the increased energy levels when you return home. However, due to the poor reviews of most ultrasonic deterrents I decided to go with the collar.

Collar is easy to use and effective. However, it would be great if the collar portion could be updated!

Linda J. Looney (Taylor, Texas United States)
I strted this collar on the lowest setting for my 28 lb. terrier and never had to change the setting. For my Catahoula (48 lbs.) it took a little more - the second setting. Both dogs come to me to have their collars put on when they go out first thing in the morinig. Then I take them off at nine so they can eat. The collars have to be set just below the chin - kind of high on the neck - for them to work properly. If they start barking during the day I only have to hold the collar where they can see it and ask them if they want me to put it on them. They don't. And they stop barking, too.
