Worked in hours. My dog is a ~2 year old female American Pitbull Terrier. She has for almost her entire life barked at nearly everything, even when nothing is seemingly there. She's very physically strong and resilient, set sensitivity 2 and maximized vibration strength and she hasn't barked in the week I've been training her on it. I highly recommend it. It easily adjustable and seemingly comfortable, I check frequently for irritation and chafing, so far none. Battery life is great. My only caveat is not to use on anxious dogs. Only downside is may be mistaken by others as a shock collar, which I will never use. Read more

I have a Jack Russell that has taken to frenetically barking and nearly everything. I have tried many methods to try and quiet him down and none of it worked. I saw this product, and while I was a bit skeptical at first, I decided to get it as I was at the end of my rope on trying to control my dog's barking. This collar has helped SO MUCH! The first time my dog barked with the collar on, the vibrations diverted his attention long enough for me to get through to him and make him settle down. Now my command of, "Hush," actually holds weight, as the collar provides a consistently unpleasant (but safe/non-harmful) consequence for not listening. Utilizing the collar, command, and rewards for listening gives me solid hope that the collar will soon be mostly decorative. The collar itself has a pleasant and sleek design. At first glance it doesn't really look like an e-collar. The beep/vibrate module itself isn't too large for a 20lb dog and it doesn't affect his day-to-day flexibility. The collar does not have a D-ring, so it cannot be used for walking or attaching traditional ID tags. The battery lasts a while, especially once my dog started activating it less. It needs charged about every 2 weeks, and putting it on the charger before my dog takes a nap leaves the collar fully charged once he wakes up. The activation of the collar controls his barking without being too restricting or sensitive. It does not activate when he whines or growls (so he is still able to communicate) and Mode 3 allows him to alert bark (1 - 3 brisk barks) without the collar going off (though in this mode it will still keep him from escalating to frenetic barking). The collar also doesn't easily mistake other sounds for him barking (even in Mode 5), as my big dog has barked within 4 feet of him without activating the collar. There have also been moments where other traditionally loud sounds have been going on (door slams, hammers, loud voices) and the collar not activate. I'm guessing the environment would have to be significantly loud for the collar to go off and the likelihood of that happening in a typical household is small (this collar is turned off when he is outside of the house). I have also heard that this collar will not activate if the dog howls, but my dog is not a significant howler, and the collar did activate the one time he did howl with it on (though I will note that his howls always start with barks so that may be why). When the collar was first introduced, my dog had a single spell where he tested it pretty hard, so I want to point out that the beeping and vibration will vary/become more intense if your dog chooses to ignore the first beep/vibration. So just like with any other training tool I highly advise supervising your dog with it, so they can be shown what to do/how to stop the collar going off as I can see how this can freak out an unsupervised dog. All-in-all, this collar is really what my dog needed to show him that barking is not always necessary. Sometimes you can train a dog to settle down without a bark collar, but in the cases where those other methods are not working, this is the collar for you. This collar has really saved my sanity and it has allowed my dog to better understand exactly what I want from him. If there's one thing I dislike, I dislike the fact that I didn't get this collar sooner. Read more

The quality of this collar for deterring barking is great. The collar is easily adjusted and works for our 60 pound lab up to 120 pound Great Pyrenees. The noise pitch changes as the dog continues to bark and the vibration Option works well. The appearance of the collar has held up well after a lot of use and it is very easy to switch the settings on the collar. It charges quickly and the battery lasts surprisingly a very long time. Several days of use. I would recommend this collar for mild behavior modification from excessive barking. It is quite sensitive and if other dogs bark, the collar will noise alert or vibrate depending on setting which is why Iβm not giving it 5 stars . Read more

I love this dog bark collar!! The story: I am a dog mom of two large dogs (one is a catahoula and the other is a border collie whippet mix). Both are so spoiled and loved, and they are used to living their best life. Over COVID, I lived in a household where three of us worked remotely from home. It was so stressful, and the dogs barking at an Amazon van made a stressful day so much worse. I love my dogs, so I did not want anything harsh or harmful that would hurt them (no shock collars). This vibrating collar was the perfect find. Functionality: It works really well. It vibrates uncomfortably on the dogs' neck when they bark. It 100% stopped them barking at nothing (vans, buses, some rando walking by). I have never had any issue with it going off accidentally (when the dog didn't bark). We did use the highest setting (it gives you options). Shock Level: No shock, vibration only. Gentle and perfect for your spoiled, sweet, furry friend. Training tool: I was just trying to stop the barking, so I did not purchase this with the intention of using it for training. I just needed the barking to stop. For my dogs, they are themselves (bark like before) when the collar isn't on. If someone has to jump on a remote meeting from home, then we just put the collars on. PROS: Gentle (no shock), fits different dogs well (my dogs are both 70 lbs but one is stockier than the other), different intensity levels, easy to set up, easy to put on, can put it on and leave dogs normal collar on, spoiled dogs tolerate it well, stops unwanted barking almost instantly. CONS: Needs charging regularly, I keep losing the collar and the charger (but that's a personal problem), no app connection (like some shock collars), no property boundaries (like some shock collars). In summary, this is a simple, easy to use gentle alternative to a shock collar that does its job (deters dogs from barking when they are wearing the collar). Read more
