 Zap March 18, 2007

It doesn't zap the yap of our newly adopted Pomeranian mix. Although we have seen her jump once or twice and it appeared to be the zap that did it, but it didn't slow her down much. We did everything according to directions, and even shaved a spot on her neck to help make better contact. We have used the shock trainer collar on our mastiff mix and it worked extremely well. I'm disappointed with this bark collar though.
 saved our bichon! October 31, 2009

This worked PERFECTLY for our bichon frise. He was a rescue, and we had no idea that he had terrible separation anxiety until after we got him. He would loudly bark nonstop for several hours at a time if he was left alone. This just can't do when you live in an apartment in NYC...we would have been kicked out of our building very quickly.
Unfortunately we couldn't wait for shipping from Amazon, so I had to buy this from Petsmart for $50 more. We put the collar on our dog when we left for work, and he would bark a few times before getting a shock. Then he would stay quiet for the rest of the day. Within 4 weeks, he didn't need the collar at all anymore. Maybe he's just too "dumb" to connect the shock to the collar but now he doesn't bark when alone at all. The collar trained him off of it. He still barks when we play and other times when appropriate (so it didn't scare him off of barking 100%, which is good).
I've read the reviews complaining about the short battery life for this collar, so I bought two extra batteries just in case it ran out. But I've never needed to replace it. We never left the collar in the "on" position all day (we only turned it on when the dog was actually wearing the collar during the workday). But after a solid month's use, it's still going strong.
I was very torn about getting a shock collar for a dog, but I just didn't think that alternatives (citronella, etc.) would solve the problem quickly/painlessly enough. The barking would also drive his little body into a frenzy and he'd wear himself out with overwhelming anxiety. With the collar on, he'd settle down and just lie down quietly. Without this collar, we wouldn't have been able to keep our otherwise lovely bichon. And on top of that, now he's collar-free!
I wouldn't suggest this collar for small bouts of "problem barking" (when visitors come, when they see a dog through a window). I think it probably works best for chronic barking problems. If a dog barks for just 1-2 minutes when the doorbell rings, it won't be enough of a learning period for them to pick up on it quickly.
Absolutely Amazed. THANK YOU!!! July 18, 2008

I was unsure of using this method in the beginning but after noticing a difference in just two days,I am extremely pleased with this product. My little one would go ballistic when she saw other dogs, now she is a perfect angel(she only wears it on our walks). Once the appropriate size of collar has been established, the design of a simple click of the collar whenever removing and not having to remember which "hole" to put the collar through is absolutely wonderful! Thanks. What a great product.

I had the misfortune of purchasing this collar. This collar is a disaster for a few reasons. First, the collar does not stay in place over the voice box. Because of the rigidity and shape of the collar and the fact that the heavy buckle is on the side of the collar, the collar will ride up and sit on the side of the dogs neck rendering it useless. Second, even when it is positioned correctly, it doesn't work. Perhaps it is the battery (which I replaced twice) or internally it is broken. Either way, stay away from this mess of a product. Petsafe should be ashamed of the poor quality.
Collar Too Stiff June 7, 2010

I bought this for a miniature dachshund, so her neck is about six or seven inches around. This collar worked for her barking, but the fit was terrible. The collar is made of a stiff rubber and is all one piece, so it cannot be put on a more flexible collar. When it is adjusted to her small size, the buckle and barking device make the collar an odd shape, so the barking device does not stay by her throat unless it is adjusted so tightly that the prongs on the device press too hard into her throat. It works for her barking, but I would buy a different style of collar for a dog with a very small neck.
