We have tried 2 other collars. One with a remote, not good because not constant so dog is confused.Another that was not effective.This one works well with very easy to see and change settings.We have lived with her waking us up over a squirrel and everything or everyone she sees move.She learned quickly on low setting.

I recently adopted an 11 year old dog and I was told the previous owner used a bark collar on him. This dog DOES bark a lot--when left alone, when out in the yard, in the car while driving, etc. Some of it was anxiety, which is much better now, but a lot of it is excitement which is fine, but not in your ear. It's been tough to train him because he has a lot of hearing loss. So I got this collar and set it for it's loudest setting for the beep and for vibration--I don't need the shock setting at all! It works like a charm! Since he obviously had previous experience with a bark collar, he knows when this goes on to limit the barking or whining. He can usually get out one bark or low whine and then he stops. He's learning to do all kinds of fun stuff with us now as long as he limits his barking. It's a win win for all of us. It holds it's charge QUITE a long time--we camped for 5 days and he wore it during the days--had plenty of charge left when we got home. It's easy to figure out the settings and the display is clear and easy to read. Easy to charge--just make sure you use the cord that comes with it, it's a little different (longer plug) than a typical micro usb. The only negative I've found is that when he does a big head shake (he's got long floppy ears) I can hear it go off. But since I've only got it set for vibration and tone, that's ok. It will also go off if he's wearing it when sticking his head out window--the sensors are getting pretty windblown--at about 55 mph--makes sense. It's not very frequent either. I would DEFINITELY recommend this, especially using only vibration/tone. :)...

My 2 years old Bella thinks she own the street and no one is allowed to pass by our house not even neighbors dogs are allowed outside lol, it was a big problem for us especially in the summer time where all the fur babies and their parents are often outside, she would bark non stop any time of the day, it was driving us and everyone around us crazy, i said let me try this product give it a try, let me tell u, sometimes if my screen door is open I cannot tell if Bella is inside or outside, it’s a miracle, the instructions says to put it on the dog for at least 12 hours a day which we did, now sometimes I forget to put it on her she still wouldn’t bark, maybe once or twice throughout the entire day, which is not bad at the end of the day it’s ok for her to bark just to let it out she needs to be herself, but nothing like before she actually got used to it and she doesn’t mind wearing it, give it a try u will love this product, I have our setting on vibrate it’s gentle it beeps first then vibrates,...

I like this one, rechargeable with a light to tell you when it's dead or charged，I've had other ones that you had to change the batteries and you don't know it's dead and they are the pricey watch type. I also like that this one gives a warning vibration，he has learned what that means and we don't hear him yelp from being shocked like the other ones. I don't really like the collar, it's just a piece of plastic with holes. which mean it doesn't loosen up, which is good.but you have to hope it's not one hole too tight or next hole too loose. All in all, it's a good value though and we like it....

This review is approx two months after use. I have two small dogs under 10 pounds. Live near walking trail with lots of dogs walking by. My dogs barked excessively. Live in the city so can not have that amount of barking. Tried all kinds of positive training to stop the barking. This was my last try. I do NOT use shock. I am not kidding when I say it worked immediately and was so effective after the first bark or two! My concern was if it would effect my dogs in any negative way. It does not!! In fact they sit readily and happily when I put collar on. I have it on lower settings for both sensitivity and vibrate. The life of battery is incredible. I charge once a week but could definitely go longer. Occasionally it will go off when they shake their heads or when they wrestle but it’s not a deal breaker and they don’t seem scared or bothered. Two months later and I let them out without collars from time to time and their barking has dramatically decreased!! I still train with positive reinforcement simultaneously when I have the time because I would like to not have to use these. It’s going well. These are very humane if you use responsibly and on the lowest level that is effective. I rarely write reviews but for me these are a 100% game changer, my dogs are happy dogs and I want others to know. I encourage you to try these. User friendly and the price point is fantastic! Worth the try as it’s not much to lose. Good luck!...

So far this is really effective, easy to adjust and test and looks nice on my beautiful Malinois GSD! He is not barking at all now. I will be recommending this to my friends for sure!!
