 As good as sliced Bread July 29, 2010

I've never written a review on here before, but I did read all the reviews before we bought this so I thought I'd contribute. My Girlfriend moved in with a 12 pound Rat Terrier/Italian Greyhound mix. He didn't like the idea of not sleeping in bed anymore and had a barking issue. At 4:30 every morning he would go off and nothing could shut him up. Getting put in the crate didn't work. In the crate and in the basement when he started barking didn't work. In the crate and into the garage when he started barking, Nope didn't work. Tried one of those outdoor ultra sound things, nope, all that did was really bother the other dogs. Even put the ultrasound box in front of the crate with the crate in the garage.. My big dogs use an invisible fence (another good idea) so I was familiar with the shock collars and after 3 weeks of early mornings got permission to research stronger methods.. So we did a bunch of web surfing and review reading and ended up buying him this little shock collar, two nights later we had our first full night sleep in weeks. After 2 weeks we tried not using it a few nights, a month later we were done. Now he usually doesn't need the collar and if he gets yappy in the middle of the day for no reason, showing him the collar usually does the trick.
Its been 4 months now and I'm back on here to buy a new battery. As previous reviewers noted they don't last forever so we bought an extra battery when we purchased it. We did get at least a month and a half from the first one, with it on about 8 hours a night. I was going to try the low cost DIY battery build mentioned in one of the previous reviews, but we turn the collar on so infrequently now that the expensive battery doesn't seem like an issue.
I give it 5 stars and it was worth every penny. I wasn't much of a fan of little yappy dogs before, but now that we have most of the barking under control I have a new appreciation for the 'big' dogs in little bodies. Also it fits really small dogs, this guy is tiny and we were worried about size. Long fur may be an issue on other dogs, but he has very little hair.

If you have a barker and close neighbors, this is a must. It stopped the barking by the end of the day for us. I was impressed. Please read and follow the directions. Do remove it when the dog is playing with you or other dogs.
 Slides to the side of the neck - rendering it useless April 25, 2009

Do not waste your money. This very expensive collar works good for the first few shocks, then the problem becomes that the plastic starts to weaken and the collar will slide to the side of your dog's neck rendering it useless. Even if we tighten it to the point of practically choking the dog it still slides around to the side after 15 or so minutes. I do not recommend any of the PetSafe products actually. Many complaints have been logged all over the Web with their products in general. Instead of the shock route, we are going the Ultrasonic route with Ultimate Dog Silencer by Good Life.
 Perfect for a larger dog. June 27, 2008

Even though it says 11 lbs and larger, it's not for anything under 20 lbs. It is big and awkward. See my picture on my 14 lb. dachshund. My battery lasted a month, but I got a multipack and it's no big deal to replace them. It does stop the barking but my dog always knows when the collar is on. A smaller and lighter collar might trick him a little better.
 Little doggie, noisy yapper June 9, 2008

I bought this collar to train my doxie. He's a great little watch dog, but needs to learn when not to bark. So far so good. The best feature is that it has an on/off switch. It saves on your battery.
