PetSafe Basic Bark Control Collar for Dogs 8 lb. and Up, Anti-Bark Training Device, Waterproof, Static Correction, Canine - Automatic Dog Training Collar to Decrease Barking, PBC-102

It stop working less than 2 weeks! Brand new use less than 10 time

El collar es de buena calidad, y resultó ser muy efectivo. Mi mascota lo portó en diversos periodos durante 3-4 días y ha controlado su deseo de ladrar por ladrar. Ahora solo ladrá cuando nota gente desconocida en los alrededores de la casa (no por cualquier cosa como antes). Producto recomendable.

Second collar . Highly recommend for teaching your pet not to bark. We turned the collar off after a week and then it was more about the association of what would happen if he barked. Great for short term.

最初から全く振動しない 高いのに困った…

We have a rescue cockapoo who barked like crazy (and had other behavior problems). My husband and I are pretty good at training dogs, so we were getting very frustrated that we were getting nowhere with our new little addition. After sending our pup for board-and-train, we got a call near the end of the two weeks asking us to leave him for another. But even after that third week, the training center had hardly been able to do anything with our little guy. The trainer told me that he had never seen a healthy dog with the level of anxiety that ours had and recommended anxiety medication for him. We use holistic medicine for our family and pets, so this was a tough call for us but something had to be done. After three weeks on the medication he started to calm down. Not completely, but enough to where my husband and I were finally able to work with him. What a relief. But even though we managed to get him mostly well-behaved, he still had (has) two problem behaviors, one of which is the inappropriate barking. It took a lot of reading and research to get us to actually purchase this collar. It's tough to trust that this is humane, but we were finally convinced. As soon as we got it, we installed the battery and put it on our guy. We waited, and then thought maybe it was working! And then maybe it wasn't...and then maybe it was... Finally, we decided we were wishing improvement, but seeing none. So I got on the phone with the company to see what might be the problem. While on hold, I realized that they would ask me standard troubleshooting questions, so I'd better be sure I had done everything correctly. First things first -- install the battery. Since the collar is waterproof, the battery is built-in to the waterproof cover. All you have to do is insert it and turn. Check. Done. Wait....hmmm...that doesn't look like it's turned all the way, but it's tight. Got a coin and really turned. Click. Oh -- THAT'S what locked in place is. So I hang up the phone and put the collar back on the dog. As luck would have it someone walked by the house. Bark! Beep! He didn't even wince, but whipped around to see what had just happened. Bark! Beep! "Wow, what was that??" It was almost funny. He clearly wasn't in pain, just flabbergasted. It was amazing. The barking stopped immediately after that. I loved that I could hear a beep when the collar went off. It helped me to know what was happening and made it easy to evaluate his response. There's no wince or whimpering, and that made me feel confident in the collar. The concept is that the shock is super-light, but gets stronger if they bark again within three seconds (I think that's what I remember). That way it works at the dog's tolerance level -- it only gets stronger if he isn't impacted by the lighter stimulus. The electronics on the collar look huge, but it's not bad at all. Be sure to get a good fit high up on the neck to keep it from drooping down. Our dog is a 24# cockapoo and he's not at all bothered by wearing the collar. The downside for us is that the collar is not training him to not bark. It has only been a bark deterrent because it only works when he's wearing it. But I have to say, when you have a guy that just doesn't "get it", and that professional trainers find difficult to work with, you're grateful for anything that gives you you sanity, and keeps the neighbors from hating you.
