 It works... November 10, 2007

We bought this collar for our animal shelter rescued American Eskimo who barked ALL THE TIME. By barked all the time, I mean he barked and kept barking for 10 minutes or more. He barked at us, he barked at the other dogs, he barked at the cats, he barked at any noises inside or outside, he barked whenever someone walked in the door, he barked while he played and he barked in his kennel. The worst part was when he would start barking at 4 in the morning and not stop till we let him out at 8. For two months we tried everything we could think of, and everything a certified trainer could think of... with absolutely no luck.
The day I got it I rubbed in against a hard surface and touched the tips. I did that several times (to get it to go up as high as I could). It startles you a lot; it really doesn't hurt, even all the way up. If you do that yourself, remember to take out the battery so that it will reset down to the lowest shock level. It takes a couple of hours to reset itself back down, and taking the battery out and then putting it back in will restart it.
The first day I put it on my dog he barked up to the 3rd or 4th setting before he gave a yelp and stopped barking. It was the kind of yelp he does when he is rough housing with the other dogs; the yelp that says "okay, you win, I give up" NOT "I'm in pain". We used it every evening after work and through the night... for about 2 weeks. Now we might have to put it on him once a week for a couple of hours, just as a reminder. He almost never barks in the house anymore, and when he does it is just one bark and he is done. Periodically throughout the week when he is quiet (like when we walk in the door and he doesn't bark at us) we walk over and give him a treat, to reinforce the good behavior.
I think the product is great. I don't usually like products like this, but there are some dogs that just won't learn any other way. We rescued our dog from the animal shelter and his bad barking habit was already drilled into him... this was all we could do to fix it. Once your dog learns what happens it shouldn't take very long for him to realize that barking is not good... then just reinforce the good behavior when it happens. Hope this helps.
Good results and humane November 8, 2007

My wife and I both tested this on ourselves before we used it to train our dogs.
The level of stimuation is similar to the "hand buzzer" joke toys.
Dogs like to be good. This stimulation is far more humane than all the accumulated "Bad Dogs!" they would have gotten while we tried to train them out of thier natural behaviour.
It works pretty fast too. When the dogs were trained we removed the collar. When they reverted to barking we put it back on. Now we just have to show it to them and they quiet down.
Works Great!! July 19, 2007

I bought this product to quiet my golden lab. He would sit outside and bark a very high pitched, excited bark, at everything - all day long. If I went outside, he'd be quiet, but who has time to sit with the dog all day??
When this collar arrived, I put it straight onto the dog. He barked about 5 times, figured out he didn't like the result and has been quiet ever since. He's also alot less hyper than before. I suspect if I take the collar off, he'll remain quiet. But if he starts up again, the collar will be put right back on.
Excellent product!
Thank you for a product that has changed our lives! January 9, 2008

I have 3 small dogs, two doxies and one peke. The dominant doxie would get the other two barking like mad. When she was in bark mode nothing would stop her and I've read and watched Cesar Milan (who I still love!) and tried so many techniques. Being very tiny, she could go thru almost any fence in our neighborhood and bark at squirrels, people in their own yards, whatever. She would not stop, would not come when called. She was in danger of being hit by a car because she would run down the road barking at passers by. I tried the citronella collar but the batteries ran out quickly, were expensive, and she wore the collar out in a short time. I've had these collars for a few months now, the batteries are still working, and I'm happy to say that my problem is finally SOLVED. The dog does not roam and run away from me when I call now that she cannot bark maniacally at whatever she pleases. She is a sweet dog but the barking was like an obsession with her! I highly recommend this product if you've had similar problems.
It Works! November 1, 2009

I was very hesitant to make this purchase, afraid that zapping my out-of-control male stud weiner dog would be inhumane. I went ahead and ordered it, because my 20-pound dog thought it was fun to lunge at my 1200-pound horse while barking incessantly. He is generally well-behaved, he is well trained, but around the horse he went completely "deaf" to my commands. He ended up rushing the fence, getting kicked by the horse, and received a nasty concussion in the process. Plus that, he has made the horse skittish around ALL dogs now. He recovered from the concussion, but he learned absolutely NOTHING from getting kicked. Was still barking and lunging at the horse, making for a very dangerous situation to himself and anyone in the pasture with the horse. Mind you, they were separated by a fence, but he found ways through it or around it, or just lunged right up to the fence as close to the horse as he could get, in a completely mindless barking frenzy.
So I ordered this collar. I put it on my own neck and barked before I tried it on him. Felt nothing more than a mild "joy buzzer" kind of shock - not painful, just startling. But at the same time, definitely unpleasant enough to make one not want to bark again while it's on. Within 24 hours, this miniature hellhound had stopped terrorizing the horse. I have had it for a few months now, and I DO have to put it back on him from time to time as a reminder, but for the most part he behaves very nicely without it.
It has ended up being the most valuable training device I have ever purchased. I really feel that it has saved not only my dog's life, but it has made him a much more pleasant fella to be around. I can work with my horse in relative peace of mind, and not worry about anyone getting hurt because the dog is in a frenzy.
I really love this dog. It had come to the point though, that his crazed barking was creating a problem for the entire household and, truth be known, probably for the whole neighborhood as well. I had actually considered re-homing him for this reason. Thankfully, this collar has provided a humane solution, without having to take such drastic measures.
If you are hesitant to make this purchase, and you have a problem barker, my advice would be to go ahead and buy it, hold it up to your own neck first to see how actually mild it is, and THEN decide whether or not to apply it to your dog.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who has a stubborn barker.
