I have 2 mini dachshunds that were causing a lot of problems with there barking,they would bark at everything.i was sceptical so only ordered one,within minutes of putting it on and it doing its thing my dog was calm.i ordered another and I now have 2 amazingly quiet dogs.they have only had them on for 2 days and 1 day between them so I can’t comment on how affective they are long term but so far they are one of the best purchases I have ever made.

I was sceptical about this product. My dog has got into the bad habit of barking at the local style gate as he hears it click, as well as barking overexcitedly when going familiar walking routes barking (friendly) at dogs and cars. The collar arrived quickly and was very easy to get started. The beep sounded the first time he barked. Immediately he stopped and looked at me. He had a couple more attempts at barking and nothing since didn’t put the collar on today and he didn’t bark at all. Listened well to commands to sit walk on etc.

The collar worked immediately I put it on. Our dog barks at the squirrels running along our back fence, with the collar there was 1 loud bark, 1 subdued bark and then none. I only put the collar on briefly when I am expecting somebody at the door (his stress point) and if used occasionally it does work. Before putting it on my dog I tested the collar on my skin and its not painful at all, more like a flick. Recommended.

I was initially a bit dubious about how effective this would be, but thought that for the price it was worth trying. Glad I did. Worked very quickly to reduce barking by my German Shepherd (who would previously bark loudly if anyone was on the phone - not helpful when you are on conference calls!). I am selective when I use it (happy for him to bark to e.g. announce visitors) so just put it on when I need him not to bark - and for that it has worked well. Wondered if the two prongs might be uncomfortable, but I have seen no sign at all that they bother him whilst wearing the collar. Based purely on my personal experience with my own dog, I can recommend this product.

Excessive barking control... very pleased with this anti bark collar. I have two dogs (King Charles Cavaliers) love them both to bits but one of them barks excessively when animals appear on TV. SInce using these collars she has stopped barking when this comes on tv and both of them are controlled perfectly with their barking. Highly recommend these collars and they really do work !!

Seems to do the trick, early days yet but my girls certainly don't bark as much as they did! I have bought two of these and a good supply of batteries. Easy to use, fit batteries, adjust collar size etc - highly recommend

I was being driven mad by my dogs relentless barking, at the TV at birds in the garden, every time I went into the kitchen, she would just bark non stop to the point where it was unbearable, I had tried a water spray, a anti bark plug & even an app on my phone, but someone recommended this to me so I ordered it out of desperation, It is great, easy to assemble, comes with a battery so just put it on & all set, this still allows the dog to bark but only activates with excessive barking, it beeps a few times as a warning to the dog & then sends out a vibration is it persists, the dog eventually learns to stop barking at the beeps before the vibration, I would highly recommend & it not at all harmful to the dog. :) Well worth the money.

This has worked a treat, I did try it on myself first and my children had a go as they thought it was going to hurt their pets. But it really is just a little vibration. I brought 2 as one of my dogs barks exsessively and we got another dog last year and she copies the other dogs behaviour. They are both content dogs and this has worked really well for them both. The collars are loose and move round the dogs necks but this has worked well for us and both dogs have responded well to these collars. Would highly recommend them, we don't use a command when the dogs are wearing their collars either we just let the collars beep, as we don't want to confuse the dogs and so far so good. Their happy and this has not changed their personalities just stopped them barking all the time.

The collar did the job setting three to four was a success dogs only needed this for two short days it completely stopped both dogs in their tracks now I just blow in the collar that I carry to stop them if they are not sure of someone on their walks but I do not have to let them wear them in the house all day only when I know I'm going out for a while just incase they get into bad habits at barking at everything that moves or sounds they are not sure of. Just returned from a weeks caravan holiday lots of sounds and people walking past the decking area and both dogs just sat and watched with no barking at all highly recommend these collars.

Fantastic! I have a 5 year old Jaffy (Jack Russel Cross staffy) who we were recently told has been barking every time she is left alone and has done since she was a puppy, we tried leaving food puzzles, turning radio/TV on, allowing her access to our bed and a calming collar and nothing worked so tried this expecting very little and the first day she wore it she barked a little when we left for work but then quietened down then today (day 2) I actually got a text message asking if we were home as she has not made a sound!! So so happy as means we don't have to rehome her (rented property) would highly recommend, front is a little tricky to get off initially and it did irritate my girl to begin with as the collar has to be on quite tight for it to work but she only scratched at it for a little while and hasn't bothered with it since. Instructions are easy to read and I read elsewhere it is advised to not leave it on continuously so I take it off when I get home and only out it on her if she is going to be alone. No electric shocks just an annoying beep and vibrate. Verry happy and would highly recommend

Our barking mad 18 month old little madame has been a nuisance barker ever since she was a puppy, but we always felt the behaviour was a combination of being young, a cross breed of two terriers and having untrained owners (us!). We've tried many anti-barking training techniques but most of this training requires endurance to ignore the barking and reward when she's being quiet. Unfortunately it's very hard to ignore her pain staking acute ear piercing bark, one that reverberates off the walls and windows indoors and outdoors. Therefore we end up bending to her every command, toys, treats, going outside, play time - anything to appease her to stop the barking. The line was crossed last week when she became so loud when out on a walk people were giving us a wide birth. Passers by don't realise that barking is her only bad habit and she's actually a very friendly, loving, playful little thing and loves to meet other dogs and people. We love her with all our hearts, so we would never use a product that distressed her, hurt her or made her uncomfortable. We bought this collar as a last resort and gave it a rigorous test before putting it around her neck. I even put it around my own neck to test it, if it was too uncomfortable for me then it was too uncomfortable for her. I found the device's two 'prongs' that make contact with the skin felt okay and did not dig into the skin. The beeping is quite loud and in comparison to the vibration the beeping itself is more distracting overall. The vibration is gentle. So, with high hopes and our fingers crossed we put the collar on our dog. At first we noticed it wasn't going off when she barked, so we had to adjust the sensitivity a few times to get it accurate. The first time it went off (the beep - it didn't even get to the vibration stage which goes off after 2 warning beeps), she looked surprised and stopped barking. We noticed a change in her behaviour almost immediately. She began using quieter cries to get our attention, and looked at us instead. She became calm, began playing with her toys and chewing her bone, sat on our laps and was completely relaxed. Later, we took the collar off, and she continued to use quieter means of communication. We were dubious it could have worked so quickly, so the following day I put the collar back on her when she became very barky when I had just arrived home. Just putting the collar on stops the barking. She even resisted barking at the cat! It would appear she associates the collar with the noise and she understands what will happen if she barks. She's been quiet ever since. She's not afraid of the collar and does not try to remove it or avoid it when I put it on her. I have high hopes (and I'm holding my breath) that the new desired behaviour will continue. We are very surprised. If you're not sure and you're still skeptical, you can take this from me: the most important thing is it doesn't harm them. So for the price, it's worth a try.

I have never been so compelled to write a review as I am now. Toby is a 4 year old springer who was re-homed to me about 5 weeks ago. He is calm, well trained and very affectionate. He never barks at people or dogs but when left alone in the house he howls, barks and yelps constantly. I have a webcam and can watch & listen. On some occasions he has barked constantly for 5 hours which left me with no choice but leave notes under the doors of my neighbours. The worst thing for me was knowing he was so stressed. He would bark so much he would get dehydrated and quite stressed and I found that going to work or even popping to the shops was causing me a great deal of anxiety. The anti bark collar arrived today and after a very simple set up I embarked on a short trip to my local supermarket. Watching Toby on the webcam I observed a few barks and yelps that caused the device to omit the first short beep. Although I watched as much as I could I don't think he even got as far as the 2nd longer beep let alone the vibration. Within 20mins he was silent and waiting by the door. When I got home he was happy and bouncing about as normal. A few hours later I repeated the process and went out, whilst watching the webcam. Not a single bark or yelp. He stayed by the door quietly until I returned. An absolute miracle and relief for us both. Well worth double the money!!!!

I take my 5 month old puppy to work and he likes to bark at everyone who comes into the office. I initially used it on the middle setting and after wearing it for only one day, he now thinks twice at barking at people and more often than not chooses To greet people without barking. The delivery was quick and the instructions are easy to follow. My only grumble is that the collar keeps slipping and needs tightening every hour or so.

So far so good. we put on minimum and when Boo barks at first time, nothing happens only after second bark start to work he’s been wearing it for 3 days and only once it went all through vibration so he barks definitely much less and with much precautions

The collar been amazing for us. Jackson has been much quieter.
Rarely write reviews but this even kept him well behaved during the recent bangs and shrieks of bonfire night.
I'll be buying a few as xmas presents for friends' dogs too!

After putting the collar on Penny my husband went to the front door and rang the doorbell. She barked once and it beeped and I told her “no”. She immediately barked a second time and it beeped again and she walked away from the door and never barked again. She usually barks continuously with no pause between barks. I praised her and petted her when she stopped barking. The other two stood quiet the whole time. Normally all 3 would have been barking nonstop until they saw that whoever was there had left. They never saw that it was just my husband at the door. If this continues I will be very, very happy with this collar!

Our dog barked at passers by, we tried spray collars and tried suggestions from our vet but nothing stopped him barking. until we used the anti barking collar. we use it on the lowest setting and its stops him barking, he still grumbles but doesn't bark, well worth a try if you have the same problem. A+++
