We had a chronic 'little yapper'. She barked incessantly. We received the collar four days ago. We followed the instructions and did not turn on the shock for a day. We heard her bark and then a high pitched tone from the collar. Two days later I turned the shock on to the lowest level. Our little barker started her routine. After a few barks and the sound of the tone coming from the collar, our little girl made a sound that indicated she had been shocked. She has stopped her incessant barking. She no longer wakes us up at night. Sure, she does bark sometimes but the collar reminds her not to do that. Our home is so much more peaceful and our little girl is a lot more calm now. Read more

This is a terrific little collar for reducing nuisance barking. Be aware that no collar can take the place of training GOOD behavior to replace the nuisance behavior. Also, please don't leave this on your dog while you aren't around. This collar is quite reliable but there's always a chance of accidents. I used to use this collar to deter rescues from unreasonable barking in a crate, by simply laying the collar ON the crate. The beep and vibrate helped distract them and then I'd give them a cookie for being quiet. :) But again, never never never use this on a pet that's unsupervised. This collar provides multiple modes to customize a combination of sensitivity (what triggers the correction), and type of correction. All corrections vibrate the collar. Then you can pick beep only or a beep plus ine of several shock stimulation levels. This is a simpler model so it doesn't do the gradually increasing shock. It will instantly hit your pet with whatever you set it at. So it's best to start with a beep only or lowest shock, then quietly praise the dog for stopping the noise when they react. Also be aware that the shock is deeply aversive and sensitive dogs may associate the shock with something environmental rather than their own behavior. Ie, if they were barking at a dude with a hat, they may then think "dudes with hats are bad." Again, you can minimize this by going with the lowest setting first and REWARDING the desired behavior. I've had one of these for many years, and that one still works like new. I just got another and it's identically reliable and functional. The only thing I miss with this basic bark collar is a "vibrate only" mode. I accidentally trained my Border Collie to be scared of the fire alarm low battery beep, but that wasn't difficult to untrain tbh. 😂 Read more

Works. But alittle confusing directions. Also the prongs are on one side and I feel they should be centered(like other E-collars) because sometimes if my dog lays down or rubs against something it will flip the collar and it won’t make contact with her then she barks uncontrollably and it defeats the point of it. But So far she has learned and barking has definitely gotten better. Also shipping got delayed multiple times. But overall not the worst product actually pretty decent for the money. Read more

Worked excellent for about 2 weeks my dog is a coonhound and he barks at the wind, squirrels, the neighbors cat, you name it he’s gonna bark at it. It got so bad the neighbors called the pound on him and they said we got to do something about his barking. Decided I’d try this; it worked great for the first couple weeks and it actually was shocking him I know because it got me when I was trying to put it on him it is very sensitive well at least at first. 2 Weeks go by and I wake up in the night to him barking and I think great time to charge the collar, so crawl outta bed to go get it bring it in charge it up come morning it’s fully charged by the three bars on the lcd screen(or so I thought). Made sure to turn it on like I always did and the green light was flashing indicating it was working correctly. Put it on him and soon as I rounded the corner of the house he got to barking and to my surprise the collar didn’t beep to hush him up I thought hmm guess I didn’t turn it on. Well I did the collar stopped working all together. I thought maybe a couple hours wasn’t long enough to fully charge so I brought it in and charged it all day and all night (24 hours) the next day I put it on him and this time it seemed to be functioning as normal. Fast forward to today he got to barking and wouldn’t hush went to check on the collar it was dead so now 24 hour charge lasts about a day which when it was new a full charge lasted a week! If you have an inside dog this may hold up better but for my dog this isn’t the best he stays outside all the time and I guess the collar just isn’t durable to handle the outdoors. Read more
