 Great product attached to a crummy collarMay 01, 2010

We have two very bark-y dachshunds that have caused neighbors to leave us anonymous notes of complaint about them barking constantly while we were away from home, so we have no choice but to use bark control collars on them while we are at work (it was either that or have their vocal cords cut, which I consider more inhumane than a bark collar). I like the bark control part of this collar very much, as it has 18 levels of correction. There are 3 different settings you can choose for your dog, each with 6 correction levels. Whichever setting you use, it will gradually increase the "correction" level until the dog stops barking, then will reset back down to the lowest correction level for that setting for when they begin barking again. It is extremely effective, and if they bark at all, they only get one or two barks out and then stop. Before purchasing this collar, we used another brand that only reset down 1 level below the last "correction" they received, which didn't seem fair in my opinion. Incidentally, our male doxie has to be on the middle setting (he's quite stubborn) but the female does well on the first (lowest) setting. We've never had to go to level 3, which I imagine would be reserved for large, stubborn dogs.
Another great feature of the bark control equipment on this collar is that it has an "off" setting, which is great for when you pack them for travel or store them away for an extended time. We've had the bark control equipment that comes with this collar for just over 7 months now and the batteries are still holding strong.
The only reason I don't give this particular product a 5 star rating is because the collar itself is awful. After we purchased these, we ended up replacing the collars immediately with nylon collars. The plastic is hard and not very flexible, and it was too big for our dachshunds (which are supposed to be miniatures, but are more "maxi-minis" since they weigh in at about 15 lbs each). Consider instead the PetSafe PDBC-300 Deluxe Bark Control Collar. It's the same bark control equipment as this item, but with a nylon collar.

I have a SportDog SBC10 that works well. I bought this product(SBC-18)and it is crap. The intensity/test switch will not stay at one setting, the dogs can change the setting during play. Most of the time I put the collar on at night and by morning the switch is on test and my dog is happily barking away.Don't buy this product.

I bought this item just a couple days ago at Cabelas. The first unit I purchased was defective as the light stayed on in test mode and did not flash. I promptly returned it and now have a properly working model. The batteries last 3-6mo depend upon use and new batteries can be purchased at a local pet store for $10 for a pair of them. I recommended testing all three levels to find the one that works. For my dog the lowest mode did nothing, I could tell the middle power would curb the length of each individual bark. However on the highest mode it had an immediate affect on him, even when I would take him outside without this collar on he would look hesitantly at me prior to attempting to bark. My dog is a 9mo old puppy and I would strongly encourage any pet owner to use this on your dog as a puppy when he is young and eager to learn. I am hoping only to have to use this on him for a couple of months. If your dog is older and constantly barks with this on then there may be other behavior factors to consider and you may want to look into other means to correct its barking. Ultimately, I'm very happy with this device and would consider it an important part of puppy training.
