 Awful product!Mar 11, 2006
By Karen M. Wegryn
"Lazy reader/writer"
This collar is not at all what I expected, obviously, and here's why. First of all, the sound the collar makes to "distract" my dog from his barking, is audible to humans as well. It's not even that high pitched of a tone, so it very rarely distracts him. And the collar activates when he's running down stairs or yawning, but not when he's actually barking or growling. This seems to confuse him more than anything. Lastly, the device takes only its own kind of battery and you have to replace it monthly. I highly suggest looking into different products for bark control.

Great idea in theory, lousy results in practice.Dec 03, 2007
By bearie

I've pretty much tried everything to stop my 6 month poodle from incessant whining. Group lessons, private lessons, positive enforcement, ignoring whining in the crate, banging, etc. The problem is my puppy is overly attached to people, and "overly socialized" where he's not afraid of any sound (not afraid of cars, motorcycles, etc). The whining creates a lot of strains with my neighbors and at my workplace and something got to be done about it.
I bought this device from Petsmart hoping it would work. Nope. Sound simply doesn't work on a puppy who is not afraid of sound or anything else. This device would work well on fearful dogs but not mine which has been "overly socialized." I also tried the top of the line shock collar. No cigar. These devices simply create more anxiety and escalates whining. Good thing Petsmart has a good return policy and I got my money back.
Fortunately, the Gentle Spray Bark Control device works instantly. He hates the smell and the surprise; the moment the spray activates, he stops whining. In contrast, the Petsafe beeper would beep along with the whining, which is really annoying.
Shock and sound are a thing in the past. The most effective tool is the citronella spray (e.g. Gentle Spray).

It is lightweight, and it does seem to be helping my dog to bark less. There are a couple of pitfalls: on the low setting it sometimes doesn't pick up my dog's bark, but on the high setting it is set off by his movements, which has proved to be confusing for him during the learning process. Also, and this is no doubt my own fault for assumming, but I sort of thought the incredibly high-pitched noise wouldn't be audible to humans. Well, it is, and wow...it's every bit as annoying as the bark!
Take it or leave it, it's an okay product.

Bark Control Collar? Yeah rightJul 21, 2006
By L. Souders
"lisamarie2061"
I just bought this collar a couple days ago at the Pet Store. I put the battery in while I was in my car and the thing started beeping while it was in my car, not even attached to my dogs collar yet. Once I did attach it to my dogs collar, it kept going off at odd times for no reason and it never beeped while my dog was actually barking. And the beeping sound is really annoying! Thank goodness for the pet stores 30 day money back guarantee. This one is definately going back to the store. I wouldnt recommend this collar to anyone, it simply does not work.

Do not waste your time or moneyAug 10, 2006

This collar is advertised specifically for use with "small dogs". I have a pomeranian who likes to bark a little too often so this seemed like a logical solution.
Now, I'm not sure what sort of "SMALL" dogs Petsafe has available at it's research and testing site, but the collar included in the package was just over 29 inches long and 1" wide. It's probably perfect for your average Saint Bernard.
I considered cutting the collar down to fit, but decided to test it first. Good thing I did! After putting it on my little pup and coaxing him to bark I noticed there was no sound at all. I tried several times but the only time it ever beeped was when he bumped the unit with his foot while scratching at his neck. It never EVER beeped after a bark. Not even once!
I too am taking this thing back to where I bought it. Buyers beware. This product is only useful as a very ugly $50 paperweight.
