20 Best Anti Barking Device For Dogs (2022 Updated)

Would work fine as a training aid to a dog you have access to. It get’s their attention but not their respect. NO effect on a problem animal.

I just received my device and the very first time I used it my little Luke, a Maltese, stopped barking and looked at me as if to say, what did you do. He started to bark again and it only took one more push of the button and he went and laid down!! I wish I had known about these a long time ago!! I love this thing!!.

I bought one of these to keep other people’s dog from getting my dog riled up as we walk by other yards. I can attest that this brand and model absolutely works. I believe more than 16 ft as well. Well worth if you are wanting neighbor dogs and cats even out of your yard.

Absolutely incredible! The very first day I used it on my 9-month-old Springer, I saw results! She always barked non-stop while I was preparing her meals. She barked as usual while I was preparing her breakfast; by that evening when I was fixing her dinner, she didn’t bark at all, and hasn’t since.

Her barking while playing has really subsided to a minimum. I have also used it on her brother with similar results. The one-size-fits-all collar has closely spaced holes for a perfect fit. The only drawback is that the collar is long, and there is no place to secure the excess.

I solved this problem by cutting off several inches; still leaving enough collar to accommodate my larger dog’s neck. I highly recommend this product.

Wow, I am so surprised I didn’t buy this earlier. I have a very energetic 1yr Purebred male German Shepherd. He doesn’t have a bad habit of barking all the time but whenever he sees another dog, he goes crazy.

I have only used this twice now, on level 1, and he will not bark when he wears the collar. This is the best tool that I have found to really cause your dog to actually THINK about what he or she is doing.

I can try to calm him down all I like with no collar, but I am not a robot so therefore the likely hood of myself being completely consistent every single time I have to correct him is slim. He is trained, overall very kind.

But I am so glad I have finally found a solution to this problem. Thank you!! He won’t need to wear it every single day, but having the ability to come back to the collar for any extra reinforcement in the future is awesome.

oh and the money back guarantee is also great too! :).

I’ve never dealt with a more unprofessional company. After my vet STRONGLY suggested not using this tool for MY dog, I returned it 3 months ago. Original box, unopened, within the 7 day return policy.

They won’t answer email, voice mail, etc. I have filed a complaint with BBB, only to discover there have been numerous claims. BEWARE.

Following the instructions (even in Chinglish) resulted in just what was advertised: vibrations and a sonic tone that has reduced both the frequency and volume of barking by our 9-year old yapper. He gets one free bark before the device activates.

Who says old dogs can’t learn new tricks? Other (more expensive) solutions we tried before did not work because of his long hair.

This collar beeps and vibrates. It might work for some dogs but it did not work for my 2 dogs. They heard the beeps, but it didn’t affect them at all. The vibration is so mild they could bearly feel it.

I put it on my arm and the vibration was just a very mild vibration. It did not deter my dogs at all.

It’s true, amazing customer service! I called before I bought my collar and the gentleman I spoke with was very generous with his time and information. Made me feel much better about using the bark collar which I had avoided for so long.

I didn’t know I had a problem till I received a complaint letter. My dogs don’t bark when I’m home but I found out they bark even though my husband works from home. I bought 1 collar to share amongst my 3 Dachshunds and 1 Pomeranian to see how it worked.

They have different times and triggers for barking. None of them seem to mind wearing it. It’s stopped the barking while we’re at home. It’s reduced the barking when we’re both out (only 2 days so far) so we’re still working on that.

The bark counter function is genius as I can gauge its effectiveness. Battery life is excellent, haven’t charged it since the first time. Very happy and will be getting another one.

I highly recommend this collar for people who have tried other deterrents, without success, like I had. Most importantly it does not appear to distress my dog at all, while it stops his problem barking.

I am happy with the high quality build and soft collar with buckle, which is much better than a clip in type of closure. The device holds charge well, with no need to recharge after each use. I was very grateful for the excellent sales and after sales support; the guys know what they are talking about, were very pleasant and helpful.

An added bonus, the collar reached me in 2 days! Great value for the price.

This is the one for us. I wish I had purchased the BT-7 BarkCollar BT-7 in the first place! Spending the extra money and doing your research is worth it! Our Labrador is now calm and happy. She only barks to alert us to an intruder or a perceived danger.

Prior to purchasing this collar. We noticed a sudden change in her behaviour when we moved house. 5am pedestrians and dog walkers and foxes passing by would set her off and we’d often have to get out of bed to give positive reinforcement or bring her inside.

In the beginning, I purchased the Petsafe Basic Bark Control Collar – PBC19-10765. It came with free Replacement Batteries and I purchased an extra pack to save on future postage. Initially, our Labrador responded quickly and barking reduced, however, I don’t believe that was the correct unit for our girl.

Her irritability and persistent barking returned to full on annoyance after about four weeks. We replaced the first two complementary batteries, every 4-6 weeks and by August, I purchased 2 replacement Petsafe Red Nylon Straps, as they deteriorate and become too loose.

After months of persevering, I returned to Bark Control website to do some further research. In October, purchased The BarkCollar by DogWatch – No Bark Trainer BT-7 and I wish I had done this in the first place!.

Let me start by saying I have always turned to PetSafe products when it comes to my pets. I have always trusted my pets comfort and Safety with PetSafe products. I really like this pet friendly option for Bark training, we have a “bark walker” when I take Max for a walk or hike he barks and barks at other dogs and strangers.

I hate muzzles for many reasons, so it wasn’t the right fit for us. So This Audible Bark Collar seemed like the answer. So on arrival I took it out and plugged it in to charge (love this) no battery’s to buy and replace or check.

No spray cartridges to replace, I have used A spray bark collar that I had to replace spray cartridges (not ideal if you have a big time barker) This collar is very lightweight it appears like it would heavy it’s NOT.

So nice for not so large dogs like Max. Collar is dark blue “meh” not great. not bad. It has plastic clips making it very easy to attach and remove. Collar is easily adjustable for larger or smaller dogs, if your dog is smaller you will need to cut the extra length off then I burned the tip so it doesn’t fray just a quick swipe with a lighter that’s all.

The instructions are very easy to read and understand so using the collar for the first time is very, very easy. I do wish it had a metal ring to attach my dog’s leash to, instead of having to use 2 collars for walking.

Now when Max barks it lets out a loud SHHHH as if you are telling your dog shhh quiet. It sounds just like a large aerosol can spraying. This collar will learn with your dog and it’s barking pattern.

So far in our bark training the collar works 50% of the time as Max is learning! Remember this is a tool to help you and your dog in bark training. I think it’s definitely a great tool and Max will soon learn not to bark on our walks and he won’t be Shhh-ed.

As always if you have questions contact PetSafe customer service-support they have always been ready to help answer any questions or concerns you have.

Ok so the instructions stated that it would “spray” sound. I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant but we have a dog that just barks to hear himself bark LOL. We introduced this collar to him and the first time we heard it spray sound honestly I thought there was a rattlesnake on my porch.

After hunt for the snack for a bit we realized it was the collar. It does actually sound like an aggressive aerosol spray can which is why I called it an interesting concept. We have tried other types of anti-bark collars and I really do like this one.

It isn’t harmful in anyway and it does get his attention. I am happy with this product it doesn’t stop him from being a dog like if he sees a squirrel he is going to bark his darn little head off no matter what but this collar does get his attention and reduce the amount of just barking for the sake of barking which I much appreciate.

Did the job My neighbours told me that my staffy would bark “uncontrollably” when we weren’t home. She would rarely bark when we were home, usually only if something unusual was happening on the other side of the fence, so we weren’t previously aware that we had a problem.

We bought the DOGTRA YS300 but were a little apprehensive, we didn’t want to hurt her. We tried it first on the vibrate only setting and watched secretly after pretending to leave. We saw her hesitate when she felt the vibration but then go on barking.

We tested the first level of stimulation (interestingly called Level 2) on ourselves and the kids ;P to ensure it wouldn’t cause her pain. It was an unpleasant sensation but not painful (not “ouch”, more “oh”).

We again pretended to leave and saw her bark once, flinch, then stop barking. She tried it a couple more times then not again. I’ve now noticed that while she’ll still run out to investigate an unusual sound, she won’t bark at it (this is while we’re home without the collar on) and I’ve had no more complaints from the neighbours.

The battery lasts well I’ve only charged it once and we’re still going months later. The dog will happily let me put it on her as long as there is a good treat on offer.

Honestly, I was at my wits end. My toy poodle had two behaviourists out. He was on every sort of medication to help with his barking – every long lasting treat – you name it, we did it. Except this. In my mind I was convinced this was awful.

I was wrong. I used this collar once on the vibration setting and that’s all it took. He learnt. We have now completely weaned off medication and he’s an entirely different dog. I needed to be educated this was a better choice than drugs.

They were so right. This collar truly was my last resort before feeling I might need to give him up ( which my heart couldn’t do) We had numerous council complaints. It truly was the only thing I could do.

He’s stopped his nuisance barking, he’s stopped medication and he’s a happy healthy dog Best decision I ever made.

Our two westies have had barking issues in the past. Just the random barking when neighbours make noise, bins get collected, someone at door etc. We have tried other collars in the past and they never worked! Finally now we have a solution! These collars worked instantly.

One bark and since they felt the first vibration, then haven’t had them bath since! We will leave these collars on them full time. It’s such a relief knowing we can now go out and not worry our neighbours will complain about our dogs sneaky barking while we are out! Thank you so much! Holly.

Much prefer this bark controller than any other (especially the ones that the dog wears). I keep it by my side and if pup starts whining, use it. If pup decided to start barking again I use it and it stops that behavior in its tracks.

Does not work at all. Dogs do not even care about the frequency. They just keep barking. Have been training them for 10days now. No result.

I honestly never thought I’d buy a collar for barking, but I recently moved from an apartment to a single family home so my pup could have a backyard and Doggie door which she LOVES! However the raccoons, opossums and squirrels ALSO love the backyard which my tiny home defender can’t stand nor can all my neighbors dogs who all start barking in unison.

So I had to do something to try to keep the peace. I was adamant about buying a collar that had no shock whatsoever and was happy to find this humane option. My pup can/will grumble which I don’t mind at all, but this stops the loud barking.

It’s only been two days thus far and so she’ll bark once then stop which is a vast improvement especially when going after those “evil” (in her mind) critters in the backyard. It’s a bit big on her and it’s not pretty imo so I only put it on her in the evening hours then it’s back off for bedtime, However so far so good.

The seller is fantastic too with great customer service. I’d definitely recommend this product!.

My little dog was obsessed with barking at everything. She trusted no one and would bark uncontrollably if she heard any sound. This collar stopped her constant barking the very first day. It has literally changed my life.

I can’t believe it!! My dog is well-behaved and a sweetheart who can be in public situations and meet people. I like that the collar is fully waterproof and has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts for a long time.

I bought this collar for one of our medium sized dogs that spends a lot of time outdoors. I’m pleased to say that this collar holds a charge for a long time in between uses and works well to train your dog.

The different tone/vibration choices are great. And I love that this is waterproof. Definitely great if we are caught late coming home and our dog is out for a few minutes in inclement weather. I’m very happy with this purchase.

I wish we had bought this earlier! Our little cavoodle would not stop barking through the night as she wanted to come upstairs. We tried EVERYTHING prior to this including ignoring her, behaviour specialist, the sound collars which did nothing.

It took 2 nights with this for her to stop barking. I was really worried it was going to be cruel but it was 2 short zaps on a low setting and she stopped. Now she goes to bed without issue and without the collar.

I would highly highly recommend this product. Well worth the money.

Pleased with it only put it on her to try for a few minutes shes learning already its only while shes outdoors

It really helped us take our dog to places that usually were in accessible

As soon as I put this on my dog ,she stops barking,she is a nusance Barker,and they really do work

With the help from a Bark Control friendly staffer, I actually swapped to this collar from the Sportdog collar (which was absolutely brilliant also until my dachshund decided howling was his new favourite pastime).

This collar is a lot more sensitive to howling and on the high setting will pick up whining also. I loved the sportdog display better, but this one is easy to set up once you read instructions, and there’s also a YouTube video to help.

The static seems quite strong so we leave on lowest setting. And on Medium Sensitivity Function. My mini is 6. 5kg, the collar is a little bulky (most are) but we only have it on him once or twice a week.

This with positive reinforcement training is working well. He’s less stressed, and not getting into a barking frenzy when we leave the house now, which makes me less stressed too as the neighbours had mentioned it nicely ;).

He will now just lay down and wait patiently. A few little barks here n there, but it’s only been a couple of weeks. We are working on this separation anxiety with desensitisation training also with success, but the collar just helps when we can’t be there.

This company is helpful, friendly and understanding, great quality products, and return/replace policy is excellent.

This collar works so well! My obsessive nuisance barker is completely reformed in just a month. It has several settings and I keep it set on the lowest one. That’s all my dog needs to snap out of his obsessive behavior.

It has a Pavlovian tone that you can opt to use or not. I use it because I do like my dog to alert bark but not nuisance bark. This allows him to bark once and if he barks a second time within 5 seconds the tone sounds and he receives the correction.

It can be used without the tone and delay for immediate correction, as well, if you prefer no barking. I did use the test setting to test it on myself and the stim was noticeable but not at all painful.

I like this collar bc it has completely broken my 5 year old dog from obsessively barking at everything that goes by our house. He is able to relax more completely and actually ignores all the outside noises, even other dogs.

This brand, E-Collar Tech, is the best. You really do get what you pay for and this collar is worth every dollar. It is well made and works perfectly. I especially love the counter that keeps track of how many corrections my dog receives.

The first few days he was wearing it he received 10-12! Now he can go days without receiving a single one! I will say it is very important to fit your dog correctly for E-collars. The strap on this one is very adjustable so you’ll be able to get a good fit.

However, you should research what that means if you’ve never used a device like this before.

I bought this hoping it would be an “automatic†alternative to needing to use our e-collar to stop nuisance barking. We’ve found it very hard to adjust the collar to get consistent and appropriate response for barking.

Adjustment for both sensitivity and feedback are difficult to get right. Our dog refused to go down our steps after wearing this collar for a short time because it was activating when he ran down the stairs.

It was traumatic for him. We have pretty much given up on the collar and are using the e-collar. It’s a well made, quality product, but it’s difficult to get it to function in real world use. Don’t waste your money on this product, get a real e-collar with a remote instead.

This collar works great. I have six month old terrier mix pup. She is wonderful but has a high pitched bark that could be used as a torture device. I am working with a trainer and she recommended a bark collar.

She said it is humane and successful. I trust her so immediately ordered this collar. We are a much more peaceful family now and for such a reasonable price too.

If another dog is standing next to the one wearing the collar and barks, the dog wearing the collar gets corrected – the dog with the collar on wasn’t even the one barking! It’s teaching my dog to be afraid of other dogs for no reason.

I like the fact that it has several stages to correct, and the price point is reasonable. But, the microphone is picking up on other barking dogs, so it’s not working as it should. I would not advise using this product.

This is a great collar, very easy to set up & adjust as needed, very effective. My 19 lb Westie has been wearing it daily for 4 days, and the corrections worked immediately for him. I adjust the levels as our environment changes to avoid inadvertent triggers.

As far as the shock feature goes, I can barely feel anything when testing it on my bare skin, and what I do feel is much less noticeable or startling than a static electricity shock, nothing painful or traumatic.

I like how it is highly adjustable and easy to clean. you also plug it into a USB charger cord to charget it up. The charge lasts awhile too. And when it needs charged up again a yellow light blinks to tell u to charge it.

Very convient. Only problems I had with it was that it wouldn’t stay in the exact spot it needed to over the dogs voicebox. It was on not too tight and not to loose but my dog somehow got it to move to the side.

The spray that comes from it is a short strong burst of the fragrance. I used citronella first so then I could tell if it had worked right. The scent only last a few seconds in the air. There is also no fragrance scent thing too.

I think as far as how effective it is a hit or a miss. It does not go off with those low barks I noticed. Or the short little barks. Like the barks they do when they think they hear something but there is nothing.

Yeah didn’t work or my dog. It did work the few times she did a full on bark though. But I think she outsmarted it because she just wouldn’t do her loud powerful bark anymore and just quieter ones. And let’s just say if the little box thing isn’t exactly in the spot it needs to be it doesn’t work right.

We also had a few mishaps with it going off randomly when I was fixing it. Honestly my dog isn’ a Huge barker. But the older she gets she doe’s bark more than she used to at certain things. But she will she top barking with or without the spray collar.

Overall it is a decent product! It does work when it wants to work.

Good Bark Collar So I wanted to wait to try this on my pet for 2 weeks before I wrote a review for this bark Collar. So my dog Princess barks constantly when put outside to use the bathroom and I could never find a product that would stop her from barking at our 2 neighbors.

So I received this in the mail and put it on Princess right then. She felt comfortable in it which was nice. This bark collar stops her from barking and I am so thankful. The neighbors are very happy now I am sure that they do not hear barking.

This is good, safe, and not like them harmful shock collars that hurt your pets so that’s a plus! Would recommend to your dogs. It only puts out a mist if the dog barks and it is safe to use! I will be buying this again if I need to.

I also recommended to friends and my family with dogs.

I’ve never tried anything to keep our dogs from barking. At the beginning of the year we moved to a busy neighborhood and the barking is constant. It drives us crazy. I was all for a safe way to detur barking and happy to try this collar.

I did some trouble getting it to work. I ended up going to the company website and watched their videos. That was very helpful and I recommend doing that if you run into anything. The other issue I’ve had is that the collar keeps moving so unless it’s right under the dogs nose he doesn’t notice it.

I’ve tightened it as much as I am comfortable and feel my dog is comfortable. It took us both some learning but it is helping. As long as I make sure it hasn’t moved. I think over time he will stop barking at every little thing.

I would like to get one for our other dogs too. I would recommend it.

I have a very reactive dog who wants to meet and play with every dog and person she meets. Unfortunately, she communicates this by loud and continuous barking which frightens people. I tried a sonic device designed to distract her (which worked twice until she realized there was no real consequence) and behavioral training to reward her when she listens, but she’s young and has no impulse control.

This collar worked right away. She hates it, but is learning to control herself. Also, I had a question about the product and the seller answered right away. I definitely recommend this device.

My dog weighs all of 10 lbs but thinks he’s a 100 lb guard dog. He barks at every noise he hears and even barks at me when I come home. We have tried almost everything to cut down on this habit. In desperation, I had purchased 2 bark collars.

The first one I tried I ended up returning since it did nothing to stop my dogs barking and it was very heavy on his neck. However, I am very pleased with this collar. It is simple to use and set up and it’s not heavy on my dogs neck.

He seems like he doesn’t even know he’s wearing it. It has definitely worked to curtail his barking and doesn’t appear to hurt him at all. I would definitely recommend trying this collar if you want to stop this habit.

So I was hesitant to get this for my dog who is 4. He was never much of a barker but since we moved to a neighborhood with a lot of other dogs who bark constantly he picked up the bad habit. I didn’t want to shock him unless it was necessary.

Turns out I didn’t have to! This has two options you can use, and a shock one, to help remind my dog that barking isn’t okay (especially when I’m on a business call)!! Super easy to set up and use. My favorite feature is the bark counter.

It keeps track of how many times it had to go off!! I’ve seen so much improvement from the first time we put it on him. It’s really been great!!!.

The thing is horrible, I set it on shock, and noticed instantly my dog was acting funny, she would roll in her sleep and jump up and run away, I would pet her, and she would suddenly jolt, so I turned it on to the beep function, and low and behold it was randomly going off, when she would move or bump it, sometimes just sitting still, and to top it all off? The times she actually did bark, it didn’t even go off! And trust me, she by no means is a quiet Barker.

Maybe I just got a faulty one, but either way, I would not recommend this to anyone who cares about their dogs sanity! It’s one thing to train them not to bark for no reason, but to have the life zapped out of you for sleeping? I’ll pass.

My little old man, Jett, was not being a good neighbor. Being a Beagle, he loves to keep tabs on all the neighbors and report daily (all day long) while I am at work. Hence my search for a bark collar.

This was a perfect fit for him (and my neighbors). I use only the vibrate mode at this point, but this collar does have options if he needs them. He seems to know that the barking has to stop when I put it on him in the morning.

It has been a perfect match! I love the adjustable collar that comes with it and it’s rechargeable,love it.

The collar works great. Our dog barks at everything from people to squirrels and birds while outside. I have only had it set on vibrate settings and she has stopped barking. The collar setting are easy to change.

You can change the sensitivity level and change from vibrate to shock. We have it at a sensitivity setting that allows her to let our small barks so we know to let her in but goes off on the annoying loud constant barking.

The collar has made our home more peaceful so far.

The SBC-10 performs as advertised. It is quick to recharge and maintains charge surprisingly well. It is VERY effective, and WILL end the habitual barking. I have 3 beagles housed in outdoor kennels, that had developed a habit of persistent barking.

The SBC-10 ended the behavior immediately. Correct color adjustment is crucial. I very much recommend using the ‘user select’ mode, and in the minimal stimulation setting, as it is more than enough stimulation for effectiveness.

Although the description sounds less severe, I feel that the ‘progressive stimulation’ mode only creates inconsistency in training principle. My previous experience with e-collars was in stopping hunting dogs from running deer.

I found that to be quite simple, effective, and straightforward. Using the SBC-10 is quite different in that it is not as straightforward for the dog, in that since the stimulation is likely to produce barking in reaction, and that a chain of bark/stimualtion, bark/stimulation is likely to occur, and takes MUCH longer for the dogs to learn to avoid the pattern.

A mode level low enough to avoid the reaction barking, and high enough to stop the voluntary barking is the goal. Using an ordinary e-collar to break dogs off deer of course does not stimulate the dog to a reaction bark, but is not useful for bark control.

My German shepherd’s barking had gotten so bad we were nearly thinking we might have to rehome him Our shepherd would sit perched on a mound and constantly bark at the neighbours dog all day. And if the dog wasn’t there, he would keep barking until the dog appeared We thought we had tried everything – walking everyday, thousands of dollars on training, confining to small sections of the yard, using other static collars.

But nothing worked After our new baby came along, and we couldn’t respond to his barking straight away, we were nearly at the point of rehoming him. I’ve also lost count of how many council notices we’ve had from our long suffering neighbours complaining After a quick call to barkcontrol, they were able to give me heaps of advice and recommended this collar.

I was a little dubious as we had tried different static collars in the past, but he just barked straight through them I ordered it on Friday and it arrived on Sunday. We charged it up and popped it on him.

We set it to manual mode and put it on number 4 (as recommended as our dog was already used to wearing other static collars). I can tell you now – it worked straight away! He gave it a few “test” barks; and we’ve not heard a peep from him since! Hes nearly 8 years old and has been a habitual barker for most of his life!! My only regret is that we didn’t buy this years ago!!! 11/10 would recommend! I would pay any amount of money for a product that works this well (I did find it a little tricky to set up as the buttons aren’t super responsive, but I still managed to figure it out ok).

I don’t typically wright reviews however I had to with this collar because it has relieved so much stress from my life. This collar is for my large breed Great Pyrenees/shepherd mix. We live in a busy city and he barks non-stop at every single dog he sees and he is very aggressive about it too.

I’ve paid over $1k on training sessions and nothing could get him to stop. I was so tired of dealing with it and being embarrassed on our family walks. This collar changed everything for us, it doesn’t bother him and works like a charm.

I use setting 6 for my dog which doesn’t seem to hurt him badly but definitely gets him to stop losing his mind after seeing a dog. I see some bad reviews on this product and I want to stress the importance: YOU NEED TO FIT THE COLLAR CORRECTLY OR IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL! I was at first frustrated because the collar would only work every several barks (not effective) however i read the manual more in depth and fixed the fitting.

It has to be tight enough to work and the band of the collar has to be just under the ears or the base of the skull. All in all great product, life changing really.

I was really apprehensive about buying my pup a bark collar but had no choice following council complaints about his barking. I researched thoroughly and found this the best collar on the market as I could control the setting and it seemed the safest and most reliable.

I spoke with the guys in Brisbane who were most helpful and patient with all my concerns/questions and decided to get one. The transaction went smoothly and I was able to pick it up instantly, they were even waiting outside to hand me the collar as there were no parking spots available in the car park at that time of day.

I got the collar home and popped it on my 6mths old pup on the lowest setting. He got used to it very quickly and I could instantly see that it was only a little discomfort for him when he barked. His behaviour corrected within 24 hours and I rarely have to use it now.

I still put it on him irregularly when he gets a bit excited and starts his barking again. It is also easy to use, easy to charge and weatherproof. I would highly recommend Bark Control collars for their product and their excellent service.

Tried others before finding this model. Others had the strange problem of correcting the dog when it wasn’t barking. Wasn’t going to put up with that. This never happens with this model. It also won’t go off if our other dog barks right next to her.

Important note- because our dog is medium sized (with a large bark) and fairly easily discouraged from barking this worked great. When she tries to bark (rarely now) the first mild correction is enough to stop her from continuing.

If there’s something that really scares her or alarms her (this has only happened once so far) she will bark up till about 5-6 then stop and wait 30 seconds then start again. So your experience may vary and the more expensive programmable model might work better.

FYI- first battery lasted 5-6 weeks and that was during her learning phase so lots more barks than now.

I have gone through so many different types of barking collars and this one is the only on that has kept my dog quite. He’s able to let off only a few seconds of barking then he’s so quite. I can’t recommend this product enough.

Saved my sanity and our neighbour’s!.

Did not deter my dog from barking. I would send it back but I cut off the excessive length of collar and they probably will not accept a return. It is like my dog is wearing nothing. I do not recommend this dog collar to anyone.

If your dog just barks once in a while and you think this device is going to work, forget it.

German Shepherd. So. Two weeks of trial and error before I make this recommendation. When the unit works, it works and the dog stops barking after a few seconds. Exactly as the product describes. The problem is that appears that the unit is very positional sensitive.

Meaning that if it is not directly flush against the dogs vocal chords it simply doesn’t work. It may also be the thick neck hair on the dog. If you had a short haired dog it may be more consistent. Either way, I,m a bit torn.

It is terrific when it works but the randomness that it does means that I cannot recommend it. The unit itself appears to be well made with good materials and the collar itself is also appearing to be good quality.
