Silent Electronic Anti-Bark Dog Training Collar. 7 Adjustable Sensitivity Control Levels for Small or Medium Dogs. Free Bonus

There's a commercial on TV with dogs in it for a canine dental health product, in which they use Three Dog Night's 'One is the Loneliest Number' as the theme song. My dog had seen the commercial and heard the song. From then on he knew what was on TV from the opening violin trills, and from wherever he was in the house he would tear in to snarl and bark viciously at the dog avatars that dared enter his domain. He had taken to peering behind the television, or if he saw a dog on the screen he'd stalk toward it in slow motion and at the last moment leap in to stick his head between the wall and the entertainment center to try to get behind it. Despite my stern attempts to stop him, he enjoyed this TV interaction so much that he started barking at other commercials and programs, too, and it got to the point where he would attack the entertainment center every few minutes.I tried squirting him with water, shutting him in the kitchen, throwing things at him like socks and pillows (little brat would dodge them and keep barking), blocking him from the television with a stockade I slapped together out of a rocking chair, a baby gate and his crate (He maneuvered around it all by jumping over the corner of the crate onto the love seat and back down into the living room). I tried the 'watch me' exercise (he'd eat the treats until they were gone and then rush the TV), and in a fit of last ditch desperation, I tried, "SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!"The latter he believed was me joining the fray so he just got louder.I considered buying this collar but was under the mistaken impression that it would hurt him. Temperament wise, other than this TV thing and his ridiculous 'walks' (he pulls like a tank and barks like a lunatic at anything that moves), he's the perfect little dog. So I ordered it.I put it together (easy to follow instructions), and decided to test it on myself, first. I set it on level three and held it against my wrist. The shock was so mild (static cling shocks hurt way worse than this thing), I didn't think it would work. Next test: I put the collar on the dog and turned on the TV.The collar emits four warning tones, one per bark, each one longer than the last. If he ignores all four, which he did, he's shocked, which he was. It surprised him more than anything. He settled down immediately. I took it off of him and he paid no attention to the television for the rest of the night. In fact he moved far away from it, found a comfortable place to stretch out and sulked like he had PTSD. I haven't had to put it on him since, except once to make a point when he acted up. Last night he barked and the warning tone sounded from across the room. He immediately returned to me and behaved like he knew he should have been acting all along.I had tried a 'gentle leader' on the leash. It works beautifully, but I didn't take the time to lure him into it/train him, and therefore...he hates it. So today it occurred to me that the No Bark Dog Collar could be used to get him in line on walks, too. This morning I leashed him up (harness) and put the collar in my pocket, and when he started pulling I sounded the tone on the collar. Miracle of miracles, he stopped pulling. When we walked by a yard with two dogs barking at him from beyond a fence, he started up, I sounded the tone, he looked up at me, stopped interacting with the other dogs and fell in line.This collar is turning my holy terror into a perfect gentleman. Buy it!

This color goes off at the sound of a door being closed, pans wrestling under the counter, sounds on TV, even when my dog is just sleeping and there is no Ambient sound. I contacted the company to let them know. Perhaps the collar is defective but it's confusing to the dog and counterproductive to the training when the color goes off for any other reason than dog barking. And please take note of something another reviewer wrote that the collar WILL go off if a dog other than the one wearing it is barking as well. In this case either all dogs present need to be wearing a properly functioning collar or the collar needs to be removed when there are other dogs present or it is play time.

Background: I have a 8 month Mini-Australian Shepherd, which the breed is a naturally hyper-active dog. He is house trained, however, he had not be pen trained due to he barks constantly when left alone while I am at work if he gets placed in his pen. I live where homes are right next to each other and barking leads to noise complaints by neighbors etc. So I was in need for an automatic bark collar for my dog when I was away at work (i.e. I have another bark collar that is controlled via remote when I am at home)The Product: It is a solid product made with good quality material. The company is very engaged after purchase of the product with follow-ups emails detailing updated manual and safety protocols for the product. The manual is easy to read and understand so any individuals know how to set up the device and receive maximum results.Efficacy vs. Effectiveness: The product does perform to it's stated claim: My dog does not bark anymore when he is in his pen with the collar on. However, the degree that it elicits the results may vary person to person and other factors (e.g. size of dog, tolerance level of shock or vibration, habitation space, pen vs no pen, fur length (or hair), previous training, etc). Fortunately for my dog he understood right away that outcome of his behavior if he continued.Recommend it? I would recommend this product for anyone who fully understands that this product purpose alone will not fix your furry friend behavior (results will vary based on numerous factors). When you use this product make sure to train with your dog. This will be more effective because: 1) you are there to reinforce that the bad behavior is the reasoning behind the device being activated 2) the dog will be stressed the first few times upon use when it feels the vibration or shock so you need be there to console them when it does. This a great product if you read the manual (don't glance at it) and follow the necessary precautions so that device doesn't go off by itself due to other external factors (loud noises, other dogs barking, tolerance levels etc)
