 Careful! Does your dog suffer from Separation Anxiety? November 2, 2006

Although this product may work with certain barking behaviours (for example: territorial barking, attention seeking etc), it can't be stressed enough that this is not a solution if your dog is suffering from Separation Anxiety. It does not deal with the reasons behind the barking. Instead, it just makes your pet even more anxious whilst you are gone and eventually intensifies the problem. Please check this fact before using this type of collar in order to avoid further negative developments.

I have a yorkie that barks constantly at any noise he hears. His barking was so bad that my neighbor complained of him barking all night. I tried everything from "sonic" bark inhibitors (that everyone could hear) to citronella spray collars and nothing worked. The sonic noise didn't bother him, and he realized that the citronella would run out, so he barked till it didn't spray anymore. I bought this bark collar with no hopes of it actually working and was pleasantly surprised. It stopped him from barking and kept him from barking even when I took it off of him. Now he knows when the collar goes on, no barking. I have never been so pleased. I highly recommend it.

I'm a trainer who was skeptical as to whether this rather low-priced collar would be effective on a German Shepherd, but I'm pleased!
My dogs aren't nuisance barkers, but are territorial and didn't like getting a new neighbor & sharing our fence with his dog. I bought one collar for my female - the 'lead' barker. After just a few zaps from 'God', she got the idea and no longer barks. The gradual correction levels give her warning enough that she sometimes still gets off a bark or two before pushing her luck. and she's still able to whine a grumble a bit without getting corrected.
MOST IMPRESSIVE is the fact that the collar somehow wound up in a cooler at our Christmas party, submerged in water for about 3 days before it was found. It still worked perfectly!
I'm getting a second collar now for my male, who has decided to take over where the female left off. While I still have some additional problem solving to do to keep them from running at the fence with the neighbor dog, this collar at least keeps it quiet and less aggressive.
I don't believe this type of collar will solve every barking problem, but for my target issue, I'm pleased.
 Stay away from this collar.... worst investment May 29, 2006

I would like to warn those who would like to buy this collar. I bought the collar brand new, and was warned by others about the longevity of the battery. I wanted to prove the reviewers wrong.. but guess what, I was the one who came out as a loser. I lost over $40 dollars on this collar. THE REASON: The battery didn't even last for 2 days. The battery went dead the following day. The battery is exclusively made by Petsafe, so you will have to buy the battery at the store, well I am not going to bother to buy another battery which will just last for a day, and costs $10 each. I now understand why others who have bought this same collar have bought 10 batteries along with the purchase of it. I feel so cheated and disappointed by this product. I hope Petsafe will make changes quick to this collar. I'd hate to say it but its basically a r i p off.
 The good and bad with this collar. January 18, 2007

I have two dogs that seem to love to bark at any and everything! So I bought two collars to try and train them.
Here's what I found..... The both work great as long as you follow the instructions as far as collar tightening and hair trimming so as to make a good connection.
What has upset me is that one collar has stopped working after just two 12 hour periods of use.
I have switched batteries between both collars and it isn't the batteries.
So... I would recommend it, but just be aware that they must be fragile because one stopped working after a very short time.
