Review:
One of my dogs was causing us extreme problems and discomfort in a new neighborhood. Neighbors had begun complaining, and the dog's behavior increasingly worsened. I didn't know what to do. She constantly wants attention. While it's no way possible that we can give her our attention 24/7 and she has to go outside at some point, I called my vet. He recommended a book and this device. I was like a child at Christmas when it arrived in the mail. I was tired of the neighbors' dirty looks, and I couldn't even hear my tv or do my homework because of the whinny-barking noise. This fixed it---FAST. It's been less than 24 hours, and the noise has stopped. She'll try and get reminded. This doesn't hurt her, or else I would see a physical indicator. She just suddenly stops barking. It was either this, or she had to go to a new home. I think this is the best solution for us all. Thanks, Amazon, for your speedy service, great prices, and stocking this excellent product. The customer reviews helped too.!

The collar works on Sammy the Airedale. That boy can get excited about the critters in the blackberries next to his kennel. Woof Woof Woof for hours. But he will shut right up with the magic collar. No trauma.
In the spirit of fairness, I put it on myself first and Woofed. It shut me right up too, with just a little bit of trauma. I am cured of Woofing and no longer use it on myself.

It does appear to be working and we have tried everything. We have been an embarrassment in the neighborhood with her incessant barking at anything on legs or wheels. However, it is supposed to be "humane" and I'm not sure about that. Her second day of wearing it, she made one sharp, loud bark while she was on my bed. She literally flew up into the air with fright and fell off my bed. Needless to say, I was pretty upset by her response. If I have to deal with that kind of reaction regularly, I will have to take the collar off of her. She has barked since this morning and has had a response less dramatic, so hopefully she's just a sensitive one and that was one isolated incident. ADDENDUM: Let me just say definitively IT IS NOT HUMANE. Two more incidents outside tonight where she barked and yelped in pain and then sat cowering and shaking. I don't even hear her yelp that loudly if we accidentally step on her paw, this can't possibly be a humane level of correction. I am going to order the more expensive one available that allows correction level control. If I could take that 3 stars down to a 1 or 0 now I would.
Review:
I can't say long term how well this product will do, because I have only had it a couple of hours, but my Jack Russell Terrier has only barked twice since I put it on him. At least for the moment, my house is quiet and I love it.
Now I can give my dog positve loving attention instead of the negative attention I was giving him because of his incessant yapping.
Review:
I have a 12 year old Chihuahua who never had a barking problem. A few months ago, some drunken / strung-out nutjob tried to break into my house in the middle of the night. Long story short: some woman was so out of it that she thought MY house was HER house and when she couldn't figure out how to get in via the front door, she decided to try to break in via the back instead! Of course my dogs went berserk. Note that my dogs stay downstairs, and the people bedrooms are upstairs.
Since that incident, my chi has understandably been a nervous-nelly at night. Right around two or three a.m. he was freaking out and barking and howling frantically for hours-on-end at nothing. As you can imagine, this wreaked havoc on everyone in the house's ability to get a good night's sleep! I tried everything including earplugs! Have you ever heard a Chihuahua bark for a few hours? It cuts through walls! And of course, running downstairs only reinforced his behavior: he was upset and wanted someone to come downstairs. Night after night, it was the same routine. After a lot of soul searching, I finally decided to try a shock collar. I was at my wit's end. I had had a perfect, non-barking, loving dog for twelve years and was suddenly living with a maniac due to some random junkie jerk who just picked my house out of the blue. I did a lot of research and also spoke with a very knowledgeable and helpful manager at PetSmart where I ultimately bought this collar. Note that my dog only weighs about 7 pounds. The collar is recommended for dogs which are 8 pounds or heavier not due to the shock but because the mechanism is a bit bulky and about the size of a large pack of gum. My dog hasn't had any issues with the size of the mechanism.
This collar works! I have my adorable little guy back! I've been using it for about a week. I put it on before I head upstairs to bed and take it off as soon as I get up in the morning. The first few nights, he still went into his night rage. The collar startled him and quieted him down very quickly though. The barking only lasted a few minutes versus a few hours. The last few nights have been serenely quiet! I am so happy with this product and the peace and quiet! It was so easy with the collar's help to get my dog to "unlearn" an unfortunate behavior issue. I am confident that in a very short period of time, I won't need to collar and can go back to normal. I do appreciate my dog's protective instincts at night. I just want them to only engage when there is a real threat. Again, very happy with the product!

Q&AI have a Question about dog bark control collars?
Nao's Question:I have a German Shepard puppy he's five months old and he barks excessively and I was wondering what are good dog bark control collars out there and a cheap price. And also can someone tell me about Silent Whistles do they work for bark control and other training purposes ? Thanks a Bunch - Nao. PS I dont believe in Shock collars. I think they are inhumane.
Curtis M's AnswerThe no bark collars that are cheap - Don't work. The ones that don't use electric stimulation - Don't work. Gimmicks - Don't work. There's no such thing on the planet as a shock collar. There are electric collars, and there are electric no-bark collars. Both are GREAT tools when used correctly by somebody with a brain and common sense and are only inhumane when used by idiots. A quality no-bark collar is never inhumane because it adjusts the level of correction to suit your dog. In other words the correction (electric stim) intensity is increased each time the dog barks. So it starts off as barely noticeable, and works it's way up, when it's uncomfortable enough for the dog to stop, it has found the perfect correction for your particular dog, not too soft, not too hard. Too soft a correction = ineffective. Too hard of a correction = could damage your dog's nerves/character. BUT quality no-bark collars are idiot proof, charge it, put it on the dog at times when barking would be a problem, tada. With electric training collars the human needs training on how to use it properly because they're not idiot proof and most people who think they can do it on their own don't have enough common sense to do it...and they end up damaging their dog's character and guess what? The bunny huggers and pretend trainers blame it on the electric collar and not the moron who was holding the remote. A tool is only as good as the person wielding it. Dogtra is my brand of choice in e-collars and nobark collars, check out their website.
