Pets Finest Advanced Intelligent Anti Bark Dog Collar No Prong Comfort + Dog Whistle Stop Dogs Barking Sound & Vibration, Small Dogs, No Shock, No Spray - Dog Canine Psychology E-book (Small No Prong)

I have to say I was skeptical when I purchased two of these collars for my dogs, I didn't doubt whether the product worked, just whether it would have any effect on my dogs, who love to bark. I was reassured by the generous return and refund policy so thought I would give it a go regardless. The dogs are both different breeds, one with a deep bark and howl, the other is smaller, more inclined to start barking and is generally yappier. I only want the collars for use in the garden during nice weather when the dogs prevent you spending anytime outside, ruining the ambience by barking persistently at anything that moves or makes a noise in neighbouring gardens.When the collars arrived I was excited to test them, they were easily assembled and even more easily fitted and working. They had an instant impact on both dogs. As soon as they barked the collars emitted the tone and that was enough on most occasions to surprise them and stop them from barking. On the few occasions when they have persisted the vibration has kicked in and this has been enough for the dog to completely give up. They normally run back to me and look at me as if something weird is going on. Now if I put the collar on when they go outside they don't even bother to start barking in the first place.As I said I only use the collars when I want to sit in the garden in peace for short periods, I don't want to deter them from barking in general, at night or to want me of something, I just want to prevent the 'barking for the sake of it'. I am very pleased with the purchases as they have massively exceeded my expectations. With the return policy I would advise anyone to try these on their dog as obviously I can only speak on behalf of the two I have.

We received two of these collars a week tomorrow, I know that seems a short period of time but we did everything according to the instructions and it worked for the first day. After that it went off when they jumped off a stool, the sofa, bed, in fact anything, we changed the frequency as per instructions but again if we put a lead and collar on or a harness it went off. I am at the end of my tether now and I was so looking forward to them coming thinking ahhh peace at last!!!! I don't know if it is because we got the no prong type because to keep the one I bought in place it has to be very tight, with hindsight I think that we should have got the pronged one as when it vibrates the prongs touch anywhere on the dogs neck. I would like your advice on what to do, One of the dogs is a Jug and one is a Cavischon not very big dogs as you see. Stuart

While my 12 year old Jack Russell is not a chronic barker, he does tend to go over the top whenever the doorbell rings.When the collar first arrived, I almost sent it back. I could not see how a simple device like this would help to curb a Jack Russell’s barking because they can be extremely determined dogs. However, I thought it was only fair on the seller if I gave it a try. I was not disappointed.There are various settings of sensitivity, so while we were finding the correct one for him, I fed him a treat whenever the collar beeped. In my experience, this only added to the overall success. After the initial introduction to the collar, I stopped the treats and pretty much left the dog and collar to their own devices.Whenever he barked in the future, rather than the collar becoming a negative correction device, it merely acted as a distraction. The beep completely stops him in his tracks while he looks around for a yummy treat…. Result! I’ve only ever heard the collar vibrate a couple of times, as the beeping seems to quieten him down before escalating to the vibrating stage.So, does it work? Yes, yes and definitely yes. It’s well worth the money and I would have no hesitation in recommending this device.

I already had one with the prongs which I didn’t like so I purchased this one without. it doesn’t work as well as the prong one but it does work my dog barks a lot more now but still not as much as without the collar but I still prefer without the prongs

The unit is compact and easy to fit unfortunately when in started beeping it just kept going until it started vibrating that's when my dog went into blind panic mode. I tried to adjust but this made no difference I don't know if I had a faulty unit but would not want to put my dog through that experience again. I gave it three stars because it arrived promptly was was easy to fit .

My Jack Russell didn't mind having this put on, she went out into the garden didn't bark or go near anything but it went off in one continuous beep at the loudest setting and wouldn't shut off. It scared the hell out of the dog and we had a hard job to catch her to take it off. I took the battery out and left it a while before trying the battery in again without putting it on the dog. It was left on the table on it's own but kept sending out continuous beeps and the only way to stop it was to take the battery out. I did try the other battery but it did the same and we couldn't turn it down either. The dog was so scared by it she wouldn't go near it so returned it... there wasn't a dog whistle in the box either!

I purchased this collar on the 6th May and it was returned a short while after as the clip did not open and we had to slide the strap along to get it off our dog. The replacement collar worked well and we thought that we were going in the right direction to solving the barking problem. Unfortunately about a week ago the collar developed a fault in that it keeps beeping but then does a funny whirring noise but does not vibrate so the barking continues and we are back to square one. It does not seem as if the collar can be returned even though it has stopped working properly but there must be some kind of guarantee so will be contacting amazon. We have replaced the batteries but it is useless.

Unfortunately didn’t work well for my Jack Russell, if anything it just made her bark more! I can see how it may work for some dogs but didn’t for mine!
