The product works perfectly, but the collar runs large. I have two of them and had to take them all the way down to as small as I could make them, for a Beagle neck, and they are still too big. Watch out for neck size.
We put this on our largest dog ( the mother) , she barked once, and NEVER since. The good news is the rest of our dogs are following her lead and not barking as much either. We're going to get these collars for the rest of our dogs anyway, cause it's so nice to sit outside by the pool and not have them all barking ! This is a product that absolutely does exactly what it says. Well worth the money.
Works perfectly need a second one as we are currently alternating between 2 dogs. We have a second placebo collar we have been using but the one smarty pants figured it out.
So far seems to be working on our 5 year old Black Lab. She had been barking at everything during the night. Now when I put the collar on she is mostly quiet.
I have an 11 month old Pom mix and she would bark at everything and nothing. I live in close apartments and didn't want my neighbors complaining of her excessive and unnecessary barking. I bought this bark collar because of the reviews I read and it works, but there's only one problem. My dog continues to bark annoyingly when the collar is off. When I place the collar on, not a peep from her. It's almost as if this pretty little dog knows: "ohh cool, the collar is off! I can make noise". Or: "Awww man, there's the collar, I need to be quiet." It's only been two weeks, so I'll keep monitoring her progress.
I bought this product last November for my rescue labradoodle who barks incessantly while in the car. It works great. One zap and she is quiet. My only problem is that the batteries last only 30-45 days and it is only used in the car which is at the most 5-6 hours per week. I have gone through 4 batteries in 6 months. At $3.50 per battery plus shipping this is becoming a pricey product. Also, as the battery gets close to dying my Hazel takes the much milder correction and continues to bark. My suggestion is to check out all products to see if others take batteries you can buy locally and less often. I would have paid more for a collar that doesn't eat batteries
We bought this device at Menards after reading decent reviews put it on our german shepherd husky mix (who goes crazy when we leave the house) and had absolutely no effect on her, I tried it and it works just not for her.
