 saved our bichon! October 31, 2009
deedee (New York, NY)
This worked PERFECTLY for our bichon frise. He was a rescue, and we had no idea that he had terrible separation anxiety until after we got him. He would loudly bark nonstop for several hours at a time if he was left alone. This just can't do when you live in an apartment in NYC...we would have been kicked out of our building very quickly.
Unfortunately we couldn't wait for shipping from Amazon, so I had to buy this from Petsmart for $50 more. We put the collar on our dog when we left for work, and he would bark a few times before getting a shock. Then he would stay quiet for the rest of the day. Within 4 weeks, he didn't need the collar at all anymore. Maybe he's just too "dumb" to connect the shock to the collar but now he doesn't bark when alone at all. The collar trained him off of it. He still barks when we play and other times when appropriate (so it didn't scare him off of barking 100%, which is good).
I've read the reviews complaining about the short battery life for this collar, so I bought two extra batteries just in case it ran out. But I've never needed to replace it. We never left the collar in the "on" position all day (we only turned it on when the dog was actually wearing the collar during the workday). But after a solid month's use, it's still going strong.
I was very torn about getting a shock collar for a dog, but I just didn't think that alternatives (citronella, etc.) would solve the problem quickly/painlessly enough. The barking would also drive his little body into a frenzy and he'd wear himself out with overwhelming anxiety. With the collar on, he'd settle down and just lie down quietly. Without this collar, we wouldn't have been able to keep our otherwise lovely bichon. And on top of that, now he's collar-free!
I wouldn't suggest this collar for small bouts of "problem barking" (when visitors come, when they see a dog through a window). I think it probably works best for chronic barking problems. If a dog barks for just 1-2 minutes when the doorbell rings, it won't be enough of a learning period for them to pick up on it quickly.
 It does work... June 25, 2009
Frances Ung (San Bruno, CA)
I got this for my yappy 7lb Maltese a few weeks ago. He barked when the doorbell rang, but was cut short from the shock. Now, as long as the collar is on, he won't bark. I have to say though that he seems "sad" when he has it on. This could be from the guilt I have when I see him look at me with that device on. He starts acting normal again about 15 min later though. It's gotten to the point where I don't even turn it on sometimes b/c he knows not to bark with it on. I have yet to do a trial run without the collar on, but it's nice to know that I can control his barking when visitors come over. I would keep it just to put it on him when I need him to not bark.
I agree with the other reviewers that it does slide to the side of his neck at times. The battery hasn't ran out yet, but I haven't used it a lot either. The rubber collar is pretty rigid as others have said. All in all, it does work for my dog!

If you have a barker and close neighbors, this is a must. It stopped the barking by the end of the day for us. I was impressed. Please read and follow the directions. Do remove it when the dog is playing with you or other dogs.
 total waste of money! May 13, 2009

Slides to the side of the neck - rendering it useless April 25, 2009

Do not waste your money. This very expensive collar works good for the first few shocks, then the problem becomes that the plastic starts to weaken and the collar will slide to the side of your dog's neck rendering it useless. Even if we tighten it to the point of practically choking the dog it still slides around to the side after 15 or so minutes. I do not recommend any of the PetSafe products actually. Many complaints have been logged all over the Web with their products in general. Instead of the shock route, we are going the Ultrasonic route with Ultimate Dog Silencer by Good Life.
