 No More Barking, YAY! August 18, 2008
I have a 2 year old Black Lab Collie Mix and overall he is a great dog. His one flaw is he would bark at everything. Anyone walking down the sidewalk, anyone pulling up in the driveway, the kids in the neighboring back yards. If there was someone outside that he could see or hear, he would bark. I tried training him not to do this with treats, and praise and even classes. He would get better for a little while, but then go right back to barking. I didn't know what to do with him.
Eventually I looked into the No-Bark collars. At first I thought this was too mean and I don't want to hurt my dog. After almost a year of barking though, I decided to give it a try. Before using it on Xandir, my dog, I tried it on myself. This product has incremental shocks where if the dog barks it will shock them, then if the dog barks again within 5 seconds or so, it will shock again, but harder. It will continue to increase if the dog continues to bark. So, what I did was rubbed it against my arm to feel the shock. The first one is nothing at all, the second one sure gets your attention and the third one made me take if off my arm. I didn't try it past then so I'm not sure what the other levels feel like. I figured Xandir would stop barking after the first if not second level so I decided to give it a try on him.
YOU MUST WATCH YOUR DOG THE FIRST FEW TIMES YOU HAVE THIS ON THEM! For Xandir, the first shock just made him stop and the second shock made him whine a bit. I can see where other reviews said that when the dog crys it could shock them again thinking it was a bark. It didn't do this to Xandir, but you must watch your dog to make sure this doesn't happen or you could have a very tramatized dog.
After about 3 different instances of barking, Xandir quickly learned he would be shocked if he barked. The really cool thing about this collar is that it works off vibration and only registered louder barks. Xandir can still do "inside" bark as we call it, and not get shocked. This is good for him and for us. He still gets the satisfaction of barking and letting us know someone is outside but it is quiet not to annoy anyone and we still hear it so we are aware someone is outside.
Overall this is a great product. I've owned it for over 6 months and the battery is still good. We only use it when Xandir starts to bark again as he is much better now then he used to be. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a barking dog remedy, but remember to mointor your dog when beginning to use the product!
 No good for double-coated breeds -- eg, Keeshond or Samoyed August 14, 2008
I had high hopes for this, as my keeshond is extremely vocal, but was simply unable to get it to deliver any kind of shock at all through his hair. He does have a particularly thick coat, but I tried parting it under the unit, and pulling the collar very very tight, but still nothing. Just in case it was the dog and not the hair, I tried it on a Samoyed, with much less of a ruff, but it didn't work on her either. I called the company, and they suggested shaving his neck, but I don't think they appreciated just what this would mean. Anyway, if anyone can recommend any way of keeping a keeshond quiet, please let me know.
The dog barks no more... August 11, 2008
I have a 1 year old pitbull, who is very smart, playful, and obedient. However, he had a serious barking problem. Basically, every time he was let outside, he would run up to a tree and start barking at it. If the brids chirped, he would bark. If the wind blew a certain way, he would bark. If the neighbors little dog was outside, he would bark at it. Motorcycles or loud noises, more barks. He would even bark at the smoke coming off of the grill! And not just one or two barks, but loud, incessant, annoying barking. He would stop when told to, but then would return to his barking ways in about 30 seconds. I was hesitant to get the shock collar, because i wanted to try to remedy the problem in a more natural way, but i just couldn't stop the barking. But now I am happy to say that the collar worked even better then I could have hoped. In the week I've had it, the dog has barked maybe 10 times, down from about the usual 500 or so. The dog learned very fast not to bark, and now he doesn't even need to be wearing it and still wont bark as much. He doesn't run around the backyard in a total state of mayhem anymore, ready to bark up a storm at any bird, fly, or gust of wind, which is just fine with me. I'd reccommend this to anyone who had the same problem that I had.
this collar works August 7, 2008
this collar works great. I have a dog that barks & will not stops untill you play w/ him, this drove me & my family nuts. When my family saw the collar they were very sceptice that it would hirt the dog, but after reading the booklet that came with it i asurred them it was human. Will it worked , now when he gets wond-up and wont lisson to comands & he even see the collar in my hane , he backs bown. he still basrks without it , but it works when it's on.
Very Good June 30, 2008
I purchased these collars for my 2 Jack Russell Terriers who loved to bark at any animal late at night or at 4:30 in the morning. After receiving unsigned letters from my neighbor, I purchased the collars. Jacks are extremely smart dogs and it did not take them long to learn what happened when they barked. I am extremely pleased with the result as they have controlled their barking when not wearing the collar.
