DogWatchDogwatch Anti-Bark Collar for Small to Large Dogs - Waterproof Bark Control Training Device with Beep, Vibration, and Shock Features - Efficient No Bark Collar for Dog Barking Control (Black)

I have a Yorkie mix who is a sweet, sweet girl but had always annoyed us (and neighbors) with excessive barking. I've had her for several years and have periodically tried a variety of remedies to no avail. I purchased a collar early on that vibrated or administered gentle shock as deterrent however, it required me to trigger it consistently and ultimately made little difference in her behavior. Was looking for a vibrating collar for my other dog who is elderly and going deaf (to use at off leash park to call him), when I noticed this collar. The automatic barking trigger and allowance for limited barking without correction attracted me. I decided to make yet another effort at controlling the barking. It helped that the collar was affordable. It has been AMAZING! I have fallen in love with this dog all over again. At least for the moment, she is even controlled without the collar on - few isolated barks at things/people but no prolonged episodes requiring correction. She is calmer. I do not often write reviews and never this lengthy. If you have a barker on your hands, even one who has failed to respond to alternative strategies, this is your salvation. The silence is GLORIOUS!

Our dog trainer recommended this brand of training collar, and this brand only. She was very adamant about purchasing from this company because of the proven success and the excellent filter the product provides, when it comes to correcting a dog bark from another loud noise. So far, it is working really well with our puppy and his is responsive to it. The collar has several different settings, including one that increases intensity, as needed. I really recommend this collar for successful training with any dog. I trust my trainer's opinions and believe this collar is absolutely worth the money. Good luck and happy training!

Refereed by a dog trainer. Basically let’s a dog be a dog and bark until they’re obnoxious. My dogs have improved on their barking. Basically you start out on the lowest setting and increase it if it doesn’t seem to take an effect. I have 4 dogs and we live on a corner house next to the mailbox, so my dogs think they have to protect the yard. As much as I love other dogs, no one wants to listen to your yapper, especially at 6am!

My mini aussie barks like a champ. This was recommended to us by our dog trainer as an effective training method (along with other reinforcements) to help curtail his barking. It would be great if the leads would actually make contact with his neck. We tried to short ones, the long ones, and putting the collar on so tightly that I was fearful we'd cut off his supply of blood. We called customer service, and although extremely helpful and patient, could not make this thing work for our dog. We are outside the window to return so we are now stuck with a $100 dog collar that looks nice in the box. Don't make the same mistake we made - if your dog has longer hair, you may have better luck with a different method. We didn't shave our dog's neck because that's a little over the top...

I bought this at the beginning of August. I did not keep it on her all the time, she doesn't bark a ton and it was set on 3, i would keep it on her over night sometimes. I noticed this this afternoon, I am beside myself, my poor puppy!Please beware!

Very reliable and consistent, just what I've been looking for to use at my training center since the tri-tronics bark collars got discontinued. The best collar on the market in my opinion.

I'm a professional trainer and have been looking for a solid bark collar replacement since the old TriTronics Bark Limiters have been discontinued. After several days of research I bought this based on the feature list - especially that it had varied tip sizes and a bark counter. While the unit functioned when being tested (with their included tool), I had it on a dog for 3 days, observed 1st hand 3 rounds of 30 sec to 3 min barking (dozens of barks each time), and the unit never delivered a single stimulation. The collar was fitted properly, refitted twice, and NOTHING. I also charged it as instructed before 1st use. On initial power up it showed the batter was low.Nice design and feature set - just didn't work at all for me. Not sure if I had a defective unit or they need to go back to the drawing board, but it's being returned and I'll continue my search for a pro-level, reliable, bark collar.

I purchased this product 5 months ago and it is now malfunctioning and giving my dog stimulation when she isn't even barking.
