The Best $100 We've Ever Spent December 12, 2008
J. Craddock (Atlanta, GA)
We have a 5 yr old Beagle (which are notorious for their obnoxious howl/bark) that has some pretty bad separation anxiety. Every time the garage door would go up, it would send him into a barking frenzy in which that time he would be completely inconsolable. The same went for anytime somebody came to the door. He would bark and howl and screech until we drove off/came inside/or answered the front door. We tried spraying him with water, lighting popping him with a newspaper, shhing him, calming him, and even a noise collar. Nothing worked.....well....the noise collar worked for about a week. But, he finally got used to the noise and then we had barking AND high-pitch noise. It would also squeal whenever my dog shook his head. His big floppy ears would activate the collar. No good.
Luckily, we have a friend who is a professional dog trainer. We explained the issues we were having and he immediately recommended this collar. We were a little hesitant to use the "shock" collar, but my wife is about to have a baby. If the barking continued, the dog would have to go, and neither my wife or I really wanted to have to do that. We love our animals.
So, we ordered the collar and I tried it out on myself on the different levels. I wouldn't even call the "shock" pain. I would say more of a "weird sensation." Maybe even a little uncomfortable. We tried the first setting which worked at first, but then he got used to it. The same for the second setting. We are now on three and the barking has completely stopped. Completely. It's amazing. This collar has made all the difference in the world. We can now bring a sleeping baby in the house and she won't get woken by the shrill barking. The motion sensor feature is also awesome. It's nice that when my dog is barking in his sleep - something he can't help - he doesn't get corrected for it.
There is still some good bit of whining from the dog, but that, we can deal with. It shouldn't wake the baby. The ONLY problem I have had with the collar is sometimes when my dog yawns audibly, it will "zap" him, which I hate for him. But, that's just the sacrifice to be made I guess. Not much we can do about that. Overall, the collar remains the best $100 (or so) we've ever spent.
Electronic Bark Collar December 9, 2008
Douglas (Los Angeles)
Great product. Didn't bother(physically) my dog much but stopped his barking in one day! The citronella collar that I had purchased previously was worthless. He didn't really enjoy being sprayed, but he kept barking until the sprayer was empty. With the electronic collar I could actually see how many times he had barked when I was gone. It went from 25 the first day, to down to three the next. After that, it was only 1 or 2 barks daily.
It actually works August 28, 2008

This was a replacement for one that came off and the dogs buried. Really. I have two Sheltie/Aussy Sheppard mix dogs (~25 lbs) that would bark literally all night, every night. Nothing else worked. This was the last straw between keeping them and not. It works! They don't like them, but they respect them. Batteries last about 10-12 months. You have to remove them for walks, since jingling Dog Tags set them off. Otherwise, highly recommended.
Great for small dogs August 5, 2008

I used this on one of my yorkies. This little girl was a yapper to the extreme. All my dogs bark, but she could have won a medal for leisure yapping. The middle of the night, yapping on my bed for no apparent reason within 3 feet of my head, was what finally drove me to purchse this collar. She only weighs six pounds, so I was worried. Plus I was scared that random barking from my other dogs would set it off.
Well.....there was no reason to fear. The collar only responds to the throat vibrations of the dog wearing it, so nothing else sets it off. I tested the 5 levels on myself before putting it around her neck. I could not feel level 1 at all. Level 2 gave a slight tingling. Level 3 a bit more, but levels 4 and 5 hurt. I put it on level 2 and decided never to go above 3.
Well it was a miracle. She figured it out in the first day. There was no emotional side effects that I could see and her personality remained the same, albeit, less noisy. The collar has a built in counter that tells you how many corrections it gave when you turn it off. After the first 2 days, it showed over 30 corrections. After 2 more days, it only showed 3. I made the mistake of taking it off after a week thinking that my problem was solved, but she was back to barking within a week. I guess the key is to leave it on for several weeks or a month to break the habit entirely.
Works like a charm for my Belgian Malinois October 8, 2007

The Bark Limiter XS is extremely effective for my Belgian Malinois. As you may know, Mal's are very barky.. which doesn't go over very well in my condo. The bark limiter has 5 different settings (for extra stubborn dogs), and I haven't had to go past setting number 2 for my dog. The thing I like most about this collar is it has a bark odometer to tell you how many times the dog barked. This way you can check progress. Tri Tronics also makes a dummy collar (same weight) that you can use once your dog learns that the collar means no barking.
