 Complete waste of time and money December 9, 2007

I purchased this collar nearly a year ago to deal with a barking problem with my pomerianian. The collar was completely ineffective even after following all of the recommended suggestions in the product documentation including checking the fit, and shaving the hair on the dogs neck. After talking with Pet Safe's customer support, they agreed to send me a replacement collar (assuming that the first one was defective). The second one arrived and it doesn't work any better than the first one.
This collar has a flashing green light that is supposed to turn red when the dog is barking and it gives correction. I have been able to observe my dog while he is actively barking and the collar is not giving any correction. I have tested it (as suggested by Pet Safe) by rubbing the vibration sensor on a hard surface while simultaneously blowing into the sound sensor and the red light does flash, but it simply does not work on my dog. There are no user adjustable setting or sensitivity adjustments, so I am completely out of luck. I am totally at my wits end and I would give this item 0 stars if that were possible. Pet Safe should be ashamed for foisting this type of inferior product on the unsuspecting public. I would strongly suggest that you save your money and look elsewhere.
 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.

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.
Bad Idea, bad design!!! November 9, 2007

The one piece, hard plastic collar, for small dogs, is the worse possible idea for a bark collar. It easily rotates around the dog's neck, won't stay in place, and does not make proper contact in order for it to work. Even when I tightened the collar to where it nearly choked him, my dog barked all he wanted.
Petsafe has other bark collars that work just fine on small dogs, for the same price or less. Just be sure it has a flexible, fabric collar.
