PetSafe Spray Bark Collar

I have a Silky Terrier who barks at everything. I have paid for trainers and tried a variety of bark control products and techniques but this is the only thing that works. I only put it on when he gets really bad. I love how it’s enough to distract him when he’s in the middle of his high pitch barking and I always make sure to reward with a treat when he stops. I wish you got more than three in a pack for the price. If you have an automatic collar and a stubborn dog like Bailey a cartridge might not last very long especially in the beginning. It should have more in a cartridge or a way to refill them with the cans. It also does have a strong citronella scent so at the end of the day when he uses it I tried to wipe him down a little bit. If you buy this product give it a chance to work but don’t expect amazing results because sometimes years later he still has to gets sprayed.

Wish I could give this product 10 stars. This bark collar totally changed my experience driving in the car with my dog. He used to be extremely overexcited and overstimulated in the car - nonstop piercing barking, pacing back and forth from window to window in the back seat, lunging at passing trucks, foamy bark spit everywhere. It was not just stressful but also distracting and dangerous. I found myself not wanting to take him places because being in the car with him was so miserable. This product was recommended to me by my professional dog trainer. It was night and day. The first time he wore it, he got 3 corrections in the span of about 20 minutes. The second wear, maybe 1 or 2. After about a week of wear (in the car almost every day), he is getting 1 or no corrections. He’s not just stopped barking, he is actually calmer. No more pacing, no lunging. He does still whine a bit but that does not set it off. I am hopeful that with continued training and time in the car, he may not even need to wear it eventually or maybe at least not have it turned on. I think it is important to mention that mine was not a case of anxiety in the car, it was excitement. He wasn’t a dog that hated to get in the car or was fearful, he was a dog that couldn’t wait to get in the car. He is not a reactive dog. I am not sure this would be the right tool for excessive barking due to anxiety/car anxiety - recommend consulting a professional if that is the case. Also consider that good training will help you get the most out of this device. Dog should sit/be calm before entering the car, reward when calm/quiet, start with short drives and build up endurance, etc. I am truly grateful for this product because now I don’t hesitate for a second about bringing my dog places, so he can accompany me and enjoy many adventures throughout his life!

This product is terrible. I tried using it for a few hours on the first day and the cartridge immediately was used up. The collar would spray when my dog was making zero noise, wasting spray. I switched the cartridge to the other new one and the collar still will not work. For $75 dollars this collar is a joke and terrible that it’s not returnable

This is the only thing that stopped my German Shepherd 1 year old from barking at everything! She is young and boisterous and barks at people and dogs from the back yard or on a walk. She ignores vibrating or shock collars totally, so was so relieved to find this. HOWEVER, the spray ran out and I didn't realize it. I replaced the spray but then the COLLAR STOPPED WORKING within about 1 month of having it. She started barking again like crazy and I couldn't figure out what was wrong because the collar tested fine. Just didn't work when she was barking (or on my other dog, or on me when I test "woofed" on it). The company was great and replaced it quickly, but i was a week without the collar, and she's as bad as ever. With the new collar, she will go through almost a whole cartridge before she stops barking (it's definitely working tho). You have to keep an eye on it and when it runs out replace IMMEDIATELY. If she gets even 1 outside visit without it, she'll figure it out now. Also the cartridges cost a lot and have only like 30 or 40 sprays. 3 for $10 and I'm going through all three in one week. I'm trying to be consistent and see if I can get the original great response back. I hope so, because the best thing about it was if she couldn't bark, she didn't get so excited at all - she stopped raising her hackles and generally was happier, and less concerned about other dogs. Also, it did not spray her when she wasn't barking, like some collars do. Not even for low woofs. I like that because I think it's important for them to be able to express themselves acceptably. I recommend it!

My vocal dog Luna was getting on some neighbors’ nerves with her nervous barking that would be triggered by people walking by, cars driving by, an annoying pigeon that would come by and sit in a nearby tree seemingly just to annoy the dogs... After several months of feeling like an awful neighbor, I met a fellow dog owner who told me about a citronella bark collar that she had used for her barking dog. My dog is already on the anxious side, so the idea of a low-stress way to teach her to stop barking sounded great (unlike shock collars, which I think would make her too anxious). I kept researching the different collars on Amazon, and noticed that some collars from competitors had higher reviews and a lower price, but I got a little suspicious that these collars all seemed to come from companies with strange names and nearly all the reviews were from the last few months. So instead I decided to go with the company that petsmart sells, but found the amazon price to be about half (it was $20 off regular price when I got it). I was worried about how it would work and decided to use the unscented cartridge first (it comes with one unscented and one citronella cartridge)... I tried it on myself first (yes, I put it up against my neck and barked), and the spray was definitely startling, but not exactly scary. Day 1, barking still happening with pup surprised at spray. Day 2, random short barks. Day 3 until now (a week later) maybe five barks in total as long as the collar is on. She definitely knows that the collar causes the spray, so she is not as quiet without the collar on, but now when we put her in the dog run, she is completely quiet the whole time. It’s magic! I ended up purchasing a pack of the unscented cartridges as backup after she went through the first two cartridges quickly because of her continued barking the first day, but with the way things are progressing, I doubt I will need to order more for quite a while.

Got this for my 45lb dog who barks way too much whenever people are coming and going. Vibration collars don't bother him and the ultrasonic device we tried seemed to make him and my other dog anxious, so we decided to give this spray collar a try. It's ok, and we'll stick with it for now, but it's definitely not perfect. We've been using it for about a month and here are my thoughts so far: -It's bulky and would probably be too big and heavy for a small dog under 25lbs or so. The part that sprays also always ends up rotating to the side instead of under his chin. -It's like 75% accurate at detecting and spraying when he barks. Sometimes it will spray when he yawns or shakes his head, and sometimes he'll bark and it won't spray. I'm not sure if this is because it rotates to the side or if the collar just isn't super accurate to begin with. So far this hasn't been a huge issue because it's accurate enough, but it definitely could be better. -The cartridges are TINY and have to be replaced often. The first couple days, we went through a cartridge every day or so. It's expensive, and it's also annoying when they run out and we wake up to him barking in the middle of the night. My dog's barking has decreased somewhat, so we're using fewer sprays than we were in the beginning, but still going through about 2 cartridges a week. Overall I'm not wildly impressed but I'm going to give it another month or two. My dog still barks but not as much, even when he's not wearing the collar, so it has helped a little bit.

Bark reduction!!! This worked very fast for my Rottie & Doberman! I no longer need the use of the collar. They respond to my voice. No yelling! “No Bark!” Is all I say!!!

I adopted the most wonderful little chihuahua mix about seven months ago. Like most chihuahua's, he is extremely loving, loyal... and fiercely protective. From the very beginning, I noticed his leash aggression but only when we was with me. He would do so well with other dogs when he was at daycare but the minute we walked outside, he would bark non-stop at other dogs. I absolutely adore him, but it was a definite challenge taking him out... our entire routine and lifestyle revolved around his walks, and the best times to take him out. I would wake up at 5:30am for his first walk to avoid running into other dogs, and even started driving to different neighbourhoods where there were less dogs in the evening. I was prepared to do it just so we could have a peaceful and enjoyable walk together but it wasn't easy. I even invested in a trainer who taught me how to "manage" his barking, but after six months I had to try something new. I started researching bark collars, and was determined to use only the most humane I could find. While the PetSafe Spray Bark Dog Collar had mixed reviews, I decided to give it a try but was immediately disappointed... so many people wrote that within the first hour or the first walk their dog made the association between their barking and the spray. This was not the case with us, but instead my little boy would bark right through it the first few times. Long story short, it took about a full week for him to realise what was happening and it has completely changed our lives. I am able to take him out at any time of day and not worry about the consequences of us running into other dogs. It has completely saved our walks and our lifestyle! **UPDATE** After about 2 months of using this, my little one has decided there are times when he simply doesn't mind the citronella that much, and will bark through the spray. Needless to say I am no longer using it. While the collar itself works fine, it unfortunately isn't for every dog. Some - like mine - are more determined barkers than others.

It’s just so quick empty

If your dog doesn't like being sprayed with water, it 100% works, That is my dog. I just can show him the spray collar and he immediately stops barking

Mon chien réagit bien au produit qui est sans danger et ni douloureux pour lui.

We have tried a lot of anti bark collars on our two dogs and our friends suggested this one to us. We only bought one because it was very expensive so we wanted to make sure it worked first before buying another one (thank goodness we only bought one!) It was delivered late the night of May 29. We decided to give each dog a two week trial to see if it worked. We read the instructions to ensure it was put on correctly And adjusted the collar several times. Besides the collar not ceasing the barking, we actually only saw it spray ONCE! We took off the collar and held it near our dogs head and it didn’t even spray. We tried to do an online return on June 25 (27 days after it was delivered) but it stated that because it was a liquid it could not be returned. We emailed the seller, and they said it couldn’t be returned because it was past the 30 days ??? In fact we had only had the product for 27 days. TAKE MY ADVICE AND DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! Not only does it NOT work, you will lose out on that money spent and the seller does not care! If I could, I would’ve given it a ZERO star review...

Product works like a charm but the spray cartridges empty very quickly; even with a dog wearing it for brief periods and ceasing bark almost immediately. I wondered if this is normal or if my device is faulty and emailed PetSafe but got no response.
