Our 7 month GSD was very excitable and barked at everything! 2 hours of wearing this and he has stopped the constant barking! We are now on day three and even when not wearing it he is now so much better.
I purchased two, one for my over excited Spaniel and one for my Yorkshire Terrier who starts the bark fest. I can say that the Yorkie Diva is pretty much sorted but the Spaniel may need an upgrade! Great value and would definitely recommend this product.
This product worked for us. My spaniel was barking for attention in the garden. We used the collar for short spells in the garden and this habit of barking for attention has completely stopped.
I have a huge lab who (used to!) run at people barking. It was embarrassing at best, but no amount of other training worked the second he was off the lead. Well. Until we got this, that is. It gave us the ability to link the verbal commands he obeyed on the lead, OFF the lead!
He’s cured! Why on earth we didn’t get this earlier, I don’t know. But if you are considering this, buy it. Just remember to reinforce it’s vibrating with a verbal command like ‘quiet’ or ‘leave’, whatever fits your situation and you’ll remember, and go for it.
I have a patterdale terrier that used to bark as soon as sat down for dinner at 6:00 in the evening I was at the end of my thither as to what to do with him. Mostly I can talk to him but nothing worked so I bought this collar only used it twice and he stopped barking at that time. Would not use it all the time but as soon as he sees me getting it no more barking. Would recommend it but use it carefully.
Brilliant device, 2 jack Russell’s who seem to bark at everything and abit annoying especially when trying to relax in the garden.got these after debating it for about 12 months . What’s great device , easy to use and set up and the dogs are brilliant with the collars on only use them when dogs in the garden but it’s really changed and so glad I made the purchase best 25 quid spe
It works the trouble is now after using it for a while the doggie is use to it, he barks it goes off he looks at me ready to say quiet he then stops barking. I’m going to leave it off for a few days see what happens.
I was having barking in the car constantly this arrived yesterday she barked twice then this device kicked in and to my surprise she stopped and only barked three barks all the way home it really works when she does bark she then stops amazing product thank you
We have been driven mad by our working cocker spaniel’s constant barking. She’s three years old so didn’t think anything would work. Tried doing training as seen on tv but nothing worked. As soon as we used this collar it worked! We can now go on walks without her barking at other dogs. She no longer barks at the slightest sound at home. It’s managed to break a habit without harming her.
Our dog was a relentless barker at a really irritating pitch. He has driven us mad for nearly 2 years and nothing worked.
We put this collar on, within a few minutes he stopped barking and is now silent even we come in.
Like magic, such a relief!
This collar had no remote so acted within the first seconds to link the action with the bark! In my case it was for overnight as my puppies high pitched yelping echoes through the block of six flats + disturbing neighbours. It worked brilliantly and the link was realised by them – acting to quieting them without the collars beeping. No longer on edge – my sanity was returned!
Absolutely brilliant, it’s a miracle cure for a long standing problem. It stopped my dog barking immediately. I was so impressed I recommended it to my friend who’s dog constantly barked during car journeys and now it just sits looking through the window. I highly recommend this colla
Our beagle pup was constantly barking when we put him outside annoying the neighbours no doubt. After some research I went for this collar and was initially very happy with it. It’s easy to clip on him and very secure. The battery lasts for ages and its waterproof. My only issue is that it moves about on him quite a bit but they may be because of the pup.
We love our Martha but she spends her life possessed, barking at fresh air until she’s in a frenzy. Now that we are working from home, needed a gently solution to make her stop as nothing would work. Soon as it went on, she stopped barking instantly and is much calmer on walks too. I highly recommend this item and have done to all my doggy loving mates.
I wanted to provide a review for the many people out there who might be like we were, experiencing constant dog barking that is so unpleasant. It was daunting for us. My 17-month-old GR started barking incessantly at everything; the neighbour’s cat, birds, when play-fighting with our other dog, and if we went outside in the garden for anything, locking him inside when needing to, even for a few minutes. Or if we were in another room. We thought any day now we are going to get complaints from the neighbours, not to mention how bad the barking had become for us. So in desperation, we checked out some anti-barking products on Amazon.
I cannot praise this collar enough. When first putting it on (leaving his own collar on too) not to make too much fuss) our dog was in the garden and yes, you’ve guessed it, he started barking. The bleep went off followed by a short buzz. Our dog ran into the house but we didn’t over-fuss regard his astonishment on what had just happened, but did calm him and praise him. After that, no more barking and he did not seem disturbed at all by the collar as it was also left on at night. I was always mindful of not having anything that could cause distress. I would not have continued using it if I thought that could be the case. My other concern was when the dogs were play fighting the collar would get ripped off because it is a little chunky on the actual component itself. For that reason, I bought a backup just in case. But no, it remains intact. For all these reasons the product itself gets a 5-star rating.
The set-up was slightly fiddly but not difficult if you follow the instructions. The buzzer goes up to 7 but I set the buzz on 2 and it was not necessary to increase this, meaning, buzzing for longer if my dog barked was not necessary. The battery is said to last 14 days before charging again. I just do it when I know it is not far off that. You can easily see when the battery is fully charged as the green light stop flickering. The red light remains on, I believe. Even when the collar is off during the charging processing which doesn’t take long at all, my dog still doesn’t bark. I also recommended to my brother for his dog. He now doesn’t need the collar on his dog at all as long as the device is in the vicinity. Very happy customers.
We are so pleased with this product, I just had to share our positive experience. Life is so much more peaceful now. Thank you. Thank you.
(I tried this on my own neck before i put it on my dog.) He was barking when he met other dogs but not in an agressive way, he just wanted to play, but we wanted him to realise that it wasn’t ok to do this as some dogs may get scared. It doesn’t hurt or cause any pain. It just gives a beeping noise and then a vibrating sensation on the neck….if anything the beeping noise was enough to stop my dog barking and the vibration that follows after (setting 2) just made him retreat a bit …he doesn’t bark at other dogs when he meets them now and if he does, he just come back to us and then tries again in a calmer way. If he gets too excitable at home and we want him to calm down, we just show it to him and he settles down quickly…
A miracle. My dog’s uncontrollable stressful barking has eased after he has only worn the collar a few times. He does not worry when I put it on and seems far more content even when the cats wander past our window. He does bark when necessary but stops now when told to. Brilliant. It worked for us.
Gave this a go, and was pleasantly surprised.
My dog is a large cross breed, she’s very boisterous and likes to bark
So far this collar has been able to withstand rolling in wet grass, being scraped down walls while she’s having an itch, and it’s still going strong.
As for the vibration, myself and my partner have both worn and tested it, wouldn’t want to test it on the dog until we know we could tolerate it ourselves.
Our dog likes to alert us of almost anything that passes by the window, and this collar has significantly reduced that. Now when she does bark, it’s one or two single barks rather than a good long string of 1-2 mins worth
Definitely worth a go in my opinio
used it to train my puppy not to bark continuously on walks at people and dogs.. wore it each time we went out for a few days & now only take it in my pocket and show her when needed. works magic!
pup no longer wears it, all i have to do is hold it in my hands &show her it&she knows.best buy eve
Was starting to get noise complaints for a noisy puppy, had the collor on and hour and already stopped barking, doesn’t need to wear it anymore as doesn’t bark at all through the night. We did do it on setting 5 which seems a bit harsh. 3 would have been enough. Was slightly confusing at first but a YouTube video or 2 cleared it up. No longer need to use it after having it on for one day. Highly recommend
Our Old English is a bit daft and tended to bark a lot when ever he got excited about everything! This worked immediately! It did scare him a little at the start but he’s gotten used to it now and has stopped the barking. Still jumping around daft all the time, but that’s why we love him…
I cannot recommend this enough. Storytime. So my 2 year old cocker spaniel had a bad incident with a bike and gradually his phobia meant that he barked at every single cyclist. When I say barked, I mean he was like a fish on a hook wiggling around but really doing some damage. I have a nice scar where he bit my thigh and countless Bruises just because he was lashing out. It then got to people running and the places where we’d encountered bikes. I tried yelling, rewards for good behaviour, cuddles whilst watching bikes, a hormone collar… And I tried each for months.. Nothing. I was getting to the point of dreading walks.
I bought this collar as a last resort because I didn’t want to hurt him. It arrived and the first thing I did was try it on myself. It beeps whilst vibrating and isn’t painful.
I took the dog out and he did his usual thing except this time he looked startled, stopped barking and demanded to be picked up (he likes being carried so this isn’t too bad), the same thing happened again twice more in about 15 minutes.
The fourth time we saw a bike he stopped, looked at me, stayed still, didn’t bark, and let it go past. I gave him a huge amount of fuss and a treat and his little tail was wagging. From that point onwards he sees bikes and looks to me for treats.
Because it beeps, when he hears the noise he stops barking. I hang his collar by the door, and when a dog goes past he used to start barking. He heard the beeping and stopped. It wasn’t even on him.
I nearly cried. This has been such an issue. It took one walk and its fixed. He was getting stressed out, I was getting stressed out. Now we have amazing walks together. Other dog walkers have noticed and I’ve just been telling everyone too.
This has changed our lives! My 6m old puppy was barking continuously everytime I left the house. I put a camera up and it was distressing to see. My neighbours were stopping me, complaining, banging the wall etc and i was sadly toying with rehoming our beloved boy but bought this one evening as a last resort and in sheer desperation. I can not describe the difference this has made. My dog is calm now. He sleeps, plays, mooches and is just chilled. He is no longer distressed or in a state of despair barking and howling. I can not rate it enough. Our trainer said that for the short vibration it may give off he gets hours of calm and that is better for him, she is so right. I don’t remember the last time he barked and he is so much happier, so are we and even my moany neighbours haven’t said another word!
I have to say like most i was sceptical if this would work, but from the moment the collar was fitted and after just one bark, this collar worked, we got this for our mother in laws dog that is less than a year old, having been told about the item from a neighbour of ours. Now a couple of weeks in no more yapping dog, it has calmed him right down as he barked at everything and everyone before the collar was put on. For the money this really is great value and an amazing product.
Tried all sorts of aids to help stop my yappy dog barking, I was initially sceptical with the concept, but wow, it actually works, he has stopped barking at other dogs and buses.
We put it on every time we go out and I think he now knows that when we put it on he knows he cannot bark.
Great bit of kit, definitely recommend.
Thank you.
I bought this for my Jack Russell, she was sending me around the bend with her insistent barking. Despite trying all the dog training advice she didn’t stop and was so engrossed she wouldn’t listen to anything I said. She barked at anything or nothing. First thing in the morning as soon as the door opened she’d shoot out and bark at next doors dog if it was out or not. Going on walks was a nightmare, barking at every dog we passed. The collar has certainly calmed her down when out on walks to where I can now get her attention to distract her. Barking at next doors dog is still a work in progress I don’t think anything will alter it, I’m hopeful though that it might just take more time.
I love this collar so much!! It has changed our lives. Completely altered my dog’s pattern of barking at neighbours passing the house and becoming hysterical. Now all is calm, I can’t recommend it enough. Also the rechargeable battery lasts for days and is so much better than the ineffectual one I had before. My dog is more chilled now as well, he knows when he has it on there is no point in barking which makes such a difference in the house. I originally set it to level 1 because I hadn’t properly read the instructions, and it made no difference… then I changed it to level 5 and it works AMAZINGLY. Honestly, I am recommending it to everyone I know with barking dog issues. (It is also really solid, well made and great quality.)
My dog is a compulsive barker she barks at everything and anything. This thing really works. She is learning to communicate in other ways and if she has to bark she is even barking quieter lol. I tried all other training techniques but nothing worked just 1 day and she is doing so much better.
My dog got himself worked up into a right state barking at every dog we passed to the point he was panting and choking, from the very start of using this collar it worked so well he barks once and the collar vibrates and distracts him, he is so much calmer and enjoys his walks much more
I had to write a review, I bought this for my pug who non stop barks at the birds in the garden, really didn’t think it would work, but all I can say is amazing, as soon as collar goes on he doesn’t bark, now he goes in the garden without the collar, and doesn’t bark at all , I recommend 100%
Ideal to train dog to stop constant barking, wouldn’t recommend leaving on dog all the time, and would recommend starting on low level and increasing if required, ideal for unwanted barking especially at antisocial hours, during normal hours I would recommend allowing your dog to bark normally as this aids training of unwanted barking, and allows your dog to act normally. Good value for money, good quality materials, delivery fast, I would definitely recommend if all other training options have been exhausted.
This is a good collar that does stop my dog barking if he doesn’t have it on all the time . I have found he can get use to it if on all the time and then it doesn’t stop the barking also if it’s on the highest settings it can be set off by the other dogs barking which isn’t very fair as he’s the one getting the vibration ! However it certainly has its uses it stops him barking when put on when visitors come overall would recommend
This collar is certainty very effective. My cockerpoo used to charge out the back door barking his head off. We’ve only had the collar three days and he now gives an initial bark then stops. He did look very surprised at the vibration at first but it certainly didn’t bother him. The only thing I find really strange about it is there’s no means of attaching a lead to it or an ID tag. Fortunately, he doesn’t bark when we go out so it’s not a major problem. Just a pain to have to keep changing his collar over at walkie times. Would be ok if you used a choke lead or harness but no good for a standard collar and lead but even then, you still can’t attach an ID tag in case he ran out the front door or back gate.
Fantastic piece of equipment & so easy to use, I used the lower setting & instantly my springer mix stopped barking in the car. The device on the collar has a mild vibration & stops my dog barking continuously, we have a motorhome & we’re worried sick about the dog barking on our trips away. Problem solved & we are so happy, thank you Dogrook. 5 stars
We have struggled with our 1 year old cockapoo barking at the TV, at every loud noise and every animal he sees. We tried positive reinforcing (treats) and a number of methods that simply didn’t work. We were skeptics at first about this collar but thought we would give it a try. After only two days using it during walks and prime TV (evenings) we are amazed just how well this Collar has worked. It has worked so well that he now makes the conscious decision not to bark, even when the collar is not on him. Our aim is to train him and when he is completely trained we will no longer even need the collar. We have it set on the lowest sensitivity level 1. I would highly recommend.
Only put on dog for maximum of 10 minutes when barking and plenty of praise when not barking. Stops him barking as vibration and buzzing surprises him. Now collar sits on coffee table and when he barks out front window it vibrates on table and makes a noise, he stops barking. Only took a week of training, now he is warned, same word warning works outside as well.
After months of worry if my neighbours would start complaining about that cute little ball of fluff that barks constantly at cats, squirrels, birds, neighbours, bees, butterflys, flies ! I bought this collar, dosent harm him at all just takes his mind of what he started barking at.
So i open door pop collar on and wait ….NOTHING BUT SILENCE !
Day 1 he started barking , by the second woof the beeps started and then the vibration, it stopped him instantly he was confused as to where the noise was so his mind was taken away from what he was barking at. Day 2 pop it on when he goes out , he don’t even bother to try and bark cause he knows mums popped the collar on. Highly recommend wish I bought it months ago
So, I was very skeptical about this collar, nothing had worked with my dogs with heavy separation anxiety. Every time I left home even for 15 mins they would go crazy, howl, bark. I got myself a pet camera, I would talk to them, they got distracted for a moment and kept on barking again. Eventually the neighbor even called the police thinking the dogs were abandoned or something. I got these collars as a last resource not being very hopeful, but to my surprise, first time I put them on, they felt the first vibration and beep and that was it, they stopped barking immediately, the neighbor even asked what we did.
I only put it on when I’m going out so they don’t get used to it, and honestly they even stopped noticing the mailman. I guess I lost the security in my house but gained two very well behaved dogs 🙂 Highly recommend, and the battery lasts ages.
I thought a neighbour would start litigation when my 11 month old cockapoo started barking in the middle of the night, partly separation anxiety partly Urban Foxes near the house. This collar worked from the get go .. he barked once .. looked about followed by a low growl and then unbelievably he has not barked at night since .. I will wait till aforesaid neighbour goes on holiday and will leave him downstairs without the collar at night to see if Pavlov has worked his magic highly recommended
I was sceptical at first. We have a pup who was starting to bark in the early hours of the morning. Bought this will very low expectations but after only one night she stopped asking. The different settings are great. The battery lasts a very long time before you have to charge it. It obviously does not cause distress as our our pup doesn’t mind getting in on. (I placed it against my throat to be sure it wouldn’t hurt the dog. It is a mild discomfort) I image its uses distraction to stop the dog barking. I can highly, highly recommend this product. I wish I’d had it for previous dogs.
Our muched beloved cockapoo is a extremely friendly bundle of fluff that has a big heart and a small brain. As a result he has broken our hearts with his constant barking, when we put him in the back garden. He will bark at birds flying over, clouds in the sky and even the wind.
We were at our wit’s end trying to work from home.
I’m pleased to say this collar had an immediate effect. Problem solved, now he can be let out and I can focus on work. Happy days!
This is the best thing I have bought my dogs, they would bark throughout the night for no reason they would bark at any little noise or some one walking past the gate. Since putting the collars on them it’s like they are different dogs they are a lot calmer and seem more relaxed throughout the day and night even when they are not wearing the collers I would highly recommend this colle
This is an early days review so I can’t comment on long term durability, but it does work. My dog would bark a lot at night. Every time a floorboard creaked, someone went to the bathroom, opening or closing blinds, hoover, if one of the family sneezed, and most of all reflections in windows (she would think a reflection was someone in the garden.) And when she spots a hedgehog in the garden then no-one is getting any sleep. This collar – on the weakest setting – sorted this all out in under 48 hours. We’ve had to make sure we give her lots of reassurance because for the fist few days she wasn’t happy. But we had a day with the collar off and she only barked once. I’m hoping that after a few weeks the collar will be collecting dust in a drawer. Finally, I wish I’d bought one sooner, I’m more than happy to pay the asking price, sleep is very valuable to me.
Our golden cocker Lna, loves the sound of her voice.. As she plays out in the garden alot with out other dog Gibbs & there’s next door’s cat.. It can get very loud.. This collar has definitely toned her back, but not 100% she doesn’t like the beep, but she’s got used to the vibration… My other dog sets it off by barking at her, just to get rid of her for 5 minutes. It has definitely made a difference, but I’m not sure long term. Plus she’s managed to chew the charger, so I don’t know if I can get a replaceme
The collar was delivered very quickly and came fully charged which allowed us to try it out immediately. Right away our Sprocker spaniel responded to the first ‘buzz’ on the lowest level. We have only had the collar one week and what a different dog. Normally he races around our garden, and once he starts barking he just can’t stop. However now He is calmer as a result of not barking, and even if he does bark it doesn’t continue in a frenzied way. We are delighted, and honestly amazed, at how well the collar has worked and how our spaniel seems happy to wear it ( he only wears it when out in the garden)
Only used this once as l hated myself for resorting to this. However its for his own good as he barks at people passing, visitors and noise. Living in a small terraced bungalow l have to consider my neighbours. He is a long term foster belonging to a family member. If he’s complained about there’s no where else for him to dog. So being cruel to be kind l put it on him, lowest setting. Wasn’t long before someone passed the window. Barked, beeb, he turns, what the heck was that? Didn’t need to vibrate he stopped barking. Took it off him that evening when all quiet. He goes out of the room when he sees it. As l said if it continues works it will be a life. safer. Easy to set up.
i have had my very large two rescue dogs for 18 months and i had almost given up. the barking was excessive, a leaf fell off the tree, a cat the end of the road etc. i had actually contacted the charity to arrange rehoming as i felt a prisoner in my own home as nobody would visit me with large noisy dogs. don’t get me wrong, i have been training constantly and mastered everything (well almost) apart from the barking. trainers are a little against these so i never tried. however, at my wits end i purchased a collar as what is the worst that can happen ? i am giving up anyway ! OMG this has changed my entire life. It doesnt hurt them, it distracts them and i only needed the collar for a few days to change the house to a calmer environment. People can come in happily and the dogs actually seem calmer.
I never ever write reviews, but thank you to all the 27,000 people that did that made me try !
This collar worked really well for both my doberman (extreme barker) and my little chug. It fits both. I usually put it on the doberman when they are going into the dogrun. It worked from the first day just at the 2nd setting which is just a low beep. The battery lasts a few days. I bought a second one for a neighbours Maltese and it’s working well for her too. Great value, surprisingly effective and most importantly it does not hurt or distress the dogs.
Bought this in desperation gas our 9 month old puppy was incessantly barking at absolutely everything and nothing else was working. I really didn’t have high hopes at all. When I put it on at first, it actually made him bark more and I had even less hope of it working but within about 2 or 3 hours, bingo! As soon as he realised it was happening when he barked he stopped and hasn’t made a noise since! I cannot recommend this highly enough and best of all, it’s comfortable and the dog is happy. Best money we have ever spe
I’ve never left a review before but I couldn’t pass this one over!! My 1 yr old dog just barks incessantly in our garden whenever he is out there and it was getting embarrassing!! I searched for products and gave this a go. The results were instant from the first bark, he ran straight in when it started vibrating and after 2 days he is so well behaved and only does the odd low level bark. The difference is amazing!! I can actually look my neighbours in the eye again . Thoroughly recommend!
This device works as advertised. The battery life really depends on how often the dogs bark but it is working. Our dogs recognise the collars and have started barking less at everything. Bliss!…
So we don’t have to put them on that often now, as a result the battery life is good for a quite a few days.
I have a large male German Shepherd who got into the habit of barking at foxes he could hear at night which was starting to bother the neighbours.
Put it on him on the lowest sensitivity level of 1 and the mild vibration and it works perfectly. We only put it on him at night time as barking is part of his nature as a guarding breed but after couple of weeks use he no longer needs it as he understands that when it’s night it’s time to be quiet!
In all honesty I’d rather not have had to use it at all but it has prevented the neighbours putting in a noise complaint.
Well, I was very sceptical about this product workingsurely it can’t be that easy to stop your dog barking??? Well, I was proved wrong!
Product was delivered the day after I ordered and already had the strap fitted so I literally had to turn it on and choose sensitivity level.
We have a crossbreed rescue pup who started to bark every time he went into the garden, he would bark at the wind, a leaf blowing, ANYTHING! We did not want this to continue as it would disturb neighbours and us and we also felt the dog was never relaxed in the garden and we wanted to nip this in the bud before spring/summer so he could hopefully go out and start to enjoy the garden rather than always being on guard and tense.
I put it on him and he went out, barked, it gave the high pitched beep and then must have vibrated. He ran straight in to his bed, it was not nice to see him looking confused but I had to remind myself why we were doing it and the benefits in the long run and it does not hurt them it is just a different sensation. without a word of a lie, he barked once more that evening when he went out, it beeped and before it even got to vibrate he was in his bed. We praised him for not barking and encouraged him to still go back out as it is not about putting him off the garden but he VERY quickly got the correlation between barking and the beep/vibrate.
We are still putting it on him one week on just to ensure it is embedded in him not to bark in the garden but I think we could have stopped using the collar after 2 days it was that successful.
We are due to go away in a lodge in a few weeks and I think he may be inclined to bark at anybody who walks past so we will definitely take the collar and again, I imagine it will do the trick pretty much straight away!
Like others, We were worried this may just be a gimmick, but how wrong were we. We have seen instant results with our pup. She would bark for hours but now while wearing the collar she barks the once then stops. If anyone is worried like we were, please dont. You really won’t regret buying this. A*****
We have a 17 month Doberman who had started barking throughout the night ( loudly). This was mainly due to the fox activity outside. Literally on the hour every hour. We have used this device for the last four nights and it has worked perfectly. She literally barked once and then stopped instantly. We have this on a very low setting and it still works perfectly. I am truly amazed at the difference this has made. Just vibrates and causes no discomfort. She has no issues on us putting it on her at all. Highly recommended
Well, what can I say! I have 4 dogs, all of them bark at what I perceive as nothing. They’re all coerced into barking by the lead barker “Nalah” so today I received the DogRook collar and wow! Silence! Well, all apart from my senior dog who now decides she will become lead barker so. There I go ordering another collar for her since I am so impressed with this one! Usually all it takes is a member of my household to walk downstairs and all of the dogs start barking all led by lead barker herself. Now nothing. THANK YOU DOGROOK! One thing I will say is that I’ve had the collar a mere matter of hours and so cannot attest to its hardiness, battery life or really any other thing associated with prolonged use but what I can say is that right out of the box I am IMPRESSED!
I bought this for my border collie when she stayed at my daughters house where she barked all the time. However, now whenever she wears the collar there is a significant reduction with her barking. It is gentle and much better than her being told off and sent to her bed for constantly barking. She only wears the collar when she is alone in the house and is more prone to barking.
This is the best anti barking collar I’ve purchased , it’s so easy to use and can be recharged so you don’t have the worry of having to put in new batteries, our chihuahua is no longer vocal when people visit or leave the house , instead he enjoys a good fuss and alls happy , we don’t leave it on him when we go out just when we have visitors or if he’s having a very vocal day ,,
It’s a great device
Many thanks
You’ve got to understand from the offset that the pug thinks its a bull mastiff! Its as soft as sh1t and wouldn’t harm anyone but its got a big gob and wants EVERY SINGLE BEING ON THE PLANET TO KNOW! As soon as it hears a knock it barks. Leaves outside? The knuckledusters come out! Delivery men literally hang our parcels over the fence as I’m sure they think the pug is Cerberus and they’re going to die. I’m pretty sure one pooed a bit as I saw him run out with it chasing him up the path! It wants to go in the garden several times a day. To do what you ask? BARK! RUNNING IN CIRCLES LITERALLY BARKING AT THE SKY!! So after spending what seemed like a life sentence on Google we decided on this. To be honest we were not optimistic about it working but by the gods its been a quiet day!! Within 5 mins of it going on she barked at the door once, turned in a circle and went and sat in her bed. Its on its lowest setting too! She has attempted to intimidate next doors dog through the fence but after the first bark she’s back inside and sulking. I’m really hoping this lasts. If it doesn’t I’ll update. My neighbours might actually start talking to me again!!
Our puppy (Cocker Spaniel) has a strong personality and trying to get him to stop barking was difficult compared to all the other dogs we have trained over the years. We put this on him once when he was having a good bark at everything and he stopped. The sound it makes as a warning before it starts vibrating was enough. Every now and then we just show him the collar and he stops barking almost immediately. Take it off when your puppy or dog stops and put it back on only if you need to. If you are lucky like we were, all you will need to do is show the collar to them. I highly recommend it.
I have a 11 month old cockapoo who had all of a sudden decided she wants to bark throughout the night. As soon as we settle down for bed she has decided to bark non-stop. I had resulted in giving into her and letting her upstairs, which was still a bit of a pain because she was still wandering round and barked here and there.
So I decided to try this product, and it was great. It’s only been one night but it made a huge difference. The usual happened, we went to bed and she started barking. Once, twice, then third time she stopped halfway and realised what was going on. She didn’t bark at all after that, not one sound. I took the collar off in the morning.
Also..it doesn’t hurt them at all, my daughter insisted on putting it around her wrist to try it on all settings. It’s just a vibration and is pain free.
Have only had this a couple of weeks, however it seems to be helping curb his barking. The main problem is that it doesn’t stay in the correct position all of the time, therefore is not quite so effective! It certainly has noticeably decreased his reactive barking to passing pedestrians etc.
Didn’t think would work, but it was instant. Have 4 pugs and a telly that comes out the bed, which when a animal comes on really upsets the one dog. As soon as we put the collar on and it went off he stop barking and returned to where he was sitting. It also works if one of the others get up – he would normally try to stop them but it’s like he knows the collar will go off so leaves it. Wish I had got it sooner. We got a 2nd for the youngest dog as well but don’t need to use it as often. Has the same effect on her as well. It stops them in their tracks!!
After reading many reviews while listening to my 10 week old golden retriever pup bark with anxiety whenever some one left the room. I brought this collar, it was my first dog, so its a learning curve for everyone involved.
He barks for 20 straight minutes until settling down when you left him for any period, I fit the collar on a Thursday afternoon, and by Monday lunchtime I’d heard a grand total of 4 barks ! It’s a total instant turnaround.
If the collar company would now make one to stop him.pissing inside, id buy stock!!
First point – I totally disagree with ANYONE whose reviews say this device is cruel. They clearly either don’t know how it works out are using it incorrectly. The device simply bleeps and vibrates (just like your phone vibrates). My daughter thought it might be cruel so I wore it myself and it doesn’t hurt.
In fact, for our household this device has been brilliant for us AND our dog. He’s a rescue and has had a tough time. When we were not in the room and something triggered him then he would bark and bark and bark and get himself worked up. After just a few barks whilst using this collar that stopped. The collar is on setting green 1, the least sensitive and the least vibration. Now when he barks (once), he stops, looks around, then goes back to what he was doing before. He still barks when people come to the house but only once. He seems less stressed and more relaxed. We’re happy and delighted that he seems happier. Wish I’d got one of these ages ago.
Our dog stopped barking, and he wore the collar only 1 day. We didn’t have to put it on again as there was no need anymore. Before this, our dog was barking for at least 1-2 min every time someone was near our house or at the door (like our neighbours), no matter the time of day, no matter what we did and despite any command or treat.
Brilliant device – totally worth it! A little big for our tiny dog, but he only had to wear it for such short time, so it wasn’t an issue.
Fyi – my dog is a purebred Pomeranian, very cute but very opinionated.
We had a new rescue puppy, and as she settled into the house, started barking a lot.
We were concerned about the effect on the neighbours as much as ourselves so tried this.
You fit the collar tightish around the neck and when she barks it beeps and vibrates.
So each time she began barking she was immediately distracted and stopped after a couple of barks.
Then she got it off one day and ate it. The warranty doesn’t seem to cover that.
We didn’t want her to stop altogether, just stop the excess and this seems to have done the job.
Really pleased
Wowsers. Received yesterday and can say it’s the best purchase ever. Our two small dogs are over reactive to birds, leaves, doorknocks, “hellos” everyrhing. We bought one collar for our noisy boy, and within 5 mins of wearing we were able to ring the doorbell and he would stop instantly and retreat to his bed. Too good to be true, then the quiet dog decided to take over from his brother and start being the vocal one, setting off his friends buzzer when he was sat nice and quiet. So now they both have one. Dog 1 has stopped jumping up at the door, stopped barking when neighbours dog barks and is all round happier. Dog 2 yaps once then gives up and waddles off. I wish we had found this product 5 years ago, seriously life changing after so much stress and heartache hearing the dogs bark on the doggy can when we leave the house for ten minutes. No longer happens. Buy one, your stress levels and neighbours will thank you
Curbed barking in a terrier who kept fence running. My partner as a joke would bark back at him. Told him that was cruel and gave him the collar to try. Well, neither of them bark anymore
It was time to be proactive and sort our dog’s bad habit when it comes to Barking and we knew about products such as this but never really thought we needed it. Oh, how wrong I was!
I would recommend this to anyone that has a vocal Furry Friend, works out of the box and for us in a matter of hours we noticed a big big difference.
We only use it for walks and when she is in the garden but only after continues barking.
Worth every penny and in my opinion this does not hurt the dog, similar to your phone vibrating.
Our terrier was always constantly barking at the next door neighbours( who may I add are wonderful people) the barking was becoming intolerable to us and the neighbours . I have only used this collar once and let me tell you this really does work. It let’s off a sound and it vibrates so who ever thinks this is a shock collar I can categorically tell you this isn’t. I only used it last night …tonight we have a really placid dog who actually ran out to my neighbours and allowed them to make a fuss of her without the loud continuous barking. Mummy 1 fur baby 0 I’m very happy
I have never left a review before for an item..but feel I have to this as it has literally changed our lives!!
Our mini poodle has increasingly barked in the garden causing us so much stress as a family. He was literally barking at everything and we are surrounded by neighbours.
Within 2 wears of this collar he has stopped!! A month later I still pop it on him 90% of the time he is out there..but no barking he just chills.
I don’t think the collar has distressed him, just made him stop barking. We are so much more relaxed as a family and dog.
We didn’t want to upset our dog or feel like we were being bad owners,but she was getting in such a state howling and barking whenever we went out, we tried dog training hours and hours of following what to do to help her and many toys and gadgets, she did improve but only a tad so after a few months we decided to try this. After reading the good reviews , she very quickly clocked that if she kicks off it will beep and she didn’t like that she now lays down no panting no crying or panicking and is even calmer when we come in and out the door because it doesn’t allow her to get into he crazy state happy owner happy dog to add the first few times we used it we done short spaces of time and watched her on the camera to make sure she was ok with it plus reasuring her that all was ok
I loved everything about the collar. Perhaps not so much the prong covers as they seemed a bit harsh but they are for thick coated dogs this has totally changed our lives. Its not cruel and it works. My six month old puppy has settled so much more with strange noises, he has relaxed so much which can only be good. We took the collar off which he whined so in the end we let him have it back but looser and on the minimum setting.THIS IS NOT IN ANY FORM A SHOCK COLLAR. It emits vibration and a bleep sound which gets the dogs attention enough to be able to praise him and to tell him quiet. Absolutely delighted with i
It’s well made great value and really works my Doberman naturally guards so any noise or dog barking he would bark living next to 2 dogs didn’t really help the situation practically instantly he learn and now ignores the neighbours dogs barking it really has been a good send!
It’s amazing really works my dog learnt straight away it’s been a god send
Was a little bit sceptical about this product. My Ponter is a very Barky Barky Boy, at the door when anyone comes but also continuously when any one other
than our household is at the house.
We had builders around this last week and true to form BARK BARK BARK none stop
so I gave the collar a go.
No issues at all with him wearing it as similar size to his tracker, he went about his routine then saw the builders and started barking, and then he suddenly ran into the lounge and sat on his bed !!
We thought surely that didn’t work that fast, a little later same again and the time after, he didn’t bother Barking any more after those three times.
It seemed to surprise him enough to distract distract his attention.
The plan is to use the collar when we are expecting people to be at the house, we don’t mind him barking when someone comes to the door etc as we can put him in a different room while we open the door, not so easy when you have visitors in the house so fingers crossed this will help keep him calmer and quiet enough to follow his commands in the future.
I never leave reviews but this one is worth it. We have an annoyingly cute puggle that has little man syndrome and launches his self at our front door anytime the door knocksYour ears are immediately destroyed by his warning bark barks and no matter how hard we tried to train him to be more gracious at the door, all faileduntil now the collar startled him at first but deffo did not cause him any harm. He is still able to bork bork a little before it sets of the vibrate, which we like as we didn’t want him to view his human house companions as Ursula and steal his voice like poor gal Ariel. If you have a floofball that destroys your ear drums, try thisThanks!
I’m amazed at just how effective this collar is.
The first night we put this on our 7 month old Cockapoo, it put an instant end to his hysterical evening howling sessions. Our idiot dog would be set off by a gnat farting 15 miles away, and wouldn’t stop until we dragged him back inside and calmed him down with treats and a strongly worded letter from our MP.
I believe that the neighbours would have been shopping for sniper rifles in the coming weeks if it hadn’t been for this brilliant collar. He’s learned how to avoid setting it off now, by making quiet little huffing barks, which don’t disturb anybody, and we only need to put it on him in the evenings, as a preventative measure.
The only thing that could possibly improve this would be a remote to activate the collar when the little sod is digging up the garden or running off with a pair of my wife’s favourite knickers.
**EDIT**
Be careful if your dog wears this when out for walks. On two occasions, we have met other dogs who barked at our little dude, and it set off his collar. The poor little bugger didn’t know what was going on, as he was completely innocent (this time), and it upset him a little.
Bought 2 of these as our rough collies tend to bark a lot at night to alert us to the foxes. Drives people a little mad at times, so to protect the sanity of our neighbours we thought this might be worth trying. A little skeptical at first, but we were amazed at how well they worked on both dogs. One bark and then we would hear the whistle. The dogs would stop and look around for where the sound was coming from. Seemed to have an immediate effect. Even works with their gorgeously thick roughs.
I have received the product today.
Small and easy to set up.
Charged in about an hour
My dog was barking as per his usual self so I decided to put the collar on the setting no 4. As soon as he started barking the collar made some beeping noises. He became clearly scared but after a few rounds of the living room he settled down. Tried barking couple of more times and then guess what? Peace and quiet. Finally he is a pleasure to be around. I don’t write too many reviews, but this product made me so happy that it deserves one.
I don’t usually review things on Amazon, but I do like to read them before purchasing anything – so if anyone is reading this and is still on the fence about whether to buy this collar or not – DO IT! It’s probably the best money I’ve ever spent and I’d do it again.
My dog is a rescue who learnt whilst she was in the kennels at the RSPCA that the loudest bark gets the most attention so when I say she had a headache-inducing bark, I’m not exaggerating. She is also extremely reactive so every single noise or movement outside the house she would bark at. God forbid anyone knocked on the door! Anyway, we put the collar on her, she barked once, and has hardly barked since! We did use the opportunity to train her with the “quiet” command, so when she did bark or make a sound with the collar on, we’d say “quiet” and then praise her for being quiet. We’d also praise her for not reacting to situations (like the postman) that she usually would have reacted to. So she now responds to that command and we don’t have to use the collar as much anymore (and I think we’ve only had it a couple of weeks or so???)
Get it. Honestly just get it. I regret not getting it sooner.
I wasn’t really expecting this to work to be honest but I was willing to give anything I try I have a terrier Cross with major small man syndrome he would bark at anything that got with in 1/2 a mile of our house he would square up to visitors he didn’t recognise and make them feel uncomfortable. When we were out and he saw other dogs he would go wild growling barking and almost foaming at the mouth trying to get to them it was very stressful and now he has this it’s changed the whole experience of taking him out for walks he’s much more settled when visitors arrive to
It’s a really good idea and it seems to be working in just 2 days, however it is quite clumbersome. It states additional 2 year warranty which does not accept the code it requests, feel this is bogus
Our 2 year old Cocker Spaniel would bark at every single noise from outside our house, she also joined in if next doors dog barked. We fitted her with this at level 3 and after about 3 days she has stopped. We have not put it on today and next doors dog has been barking ours just looks at us and has remained quiet. So in summary after 3-4 days it seems to have cured our problem. An absolute game changer. I can’t believe that we have suffered all this time. Can’t rate this product high enough.
Our 8 month puppy had started barking at everything, upsetting neighbours and becoming very stubborn. We was recommended to this collar by a friend who used it on her fur baby. After charging which was quick we put the collar on when letting him into the garden where he is most vocal. As soon as he barked it let off a high pitched noice ( not too high as started on lowest setting) he looked a bit panicky but stopped and sat down. At first I wasn’t sure if this was going to totally scare him but it hasn’t it just seems to distract him and warn him. I remove the collar once in the house and he is just so much calmer.. would recommend most definitely!
Bought one for parents over zealous golden doodle he’d bark excitedly at my cockapoo when we visited. Became so stressful as he’d set mine off then they’d be like Laurel & Hardy cockapoo chasing golden doodle half on his back then coming back in room the opposite golden doodle on back of cockapoo barking high pitched. We’re going on holiday together sharing a small property. So I suggested the collar. First try it was working like a dream. Then I had an issue with a constant barking dog next door setting mine off. So I bought a second one. Well mines only had it on 10 mins. It curbed his barking yes he hid from noise. I took collar off when he came out & but it on table. Now if something sets him off just having it nearby on is enough when it goes off he stops straight away. Couldn’t recommend enough. Today boys met at parents no bark collars on but I had one on my lap on golden doodle barked a couple of times each time the collar beeped stopped him in his tracks. There like different dogs togethe
This is a good product, it has not fully stopped the dog from barking but it has definitely made her bark less. It is easy to use and has a quieter bell than ones I have used before , which is good as other people can’t hear it . I also like the fact it is rechargable and so you don’t need to keep changing the battery.
Wow. Wasn’t expecting a huge amount. My 7 month old Viszla Collie is extremely vocal to the point it was really distressing me.
This arrived, charged it, put it on her… Different dog! She’s quite clever so it’s amusing watching her try to work out how loud she can get away with barking before it buzzes – I wish I’d found this sooner, it’s a complete godsend.
First time i used it,it worked. My dog barked about 3 times and that was it silence. I had to do something,he is 6 months old and i have to put him in a cage a few times a week for the most 3 hours each time,he would bark and howl the whole time i was out,and would get very stressed out. I was worried in case the neighbours reported me to the council because of the noise, i recorded him each time i went out on a voice recorder and it was a nightmare. I have used the collar now about 5 times and recorded him each time and it has just been silent. Wonderful. And i can relax a bit better now when i go out.
I’m really happy with this dog collar, my sister originally bought one for her dog & it’s worked really well for her so I got another two one for myself & one for my friend, I can’t believe how well they work, it’s been well worth every penny & it’s so quiet now, the dogs only bark once & it vibrated & makes & noise & the dogs don’t bark again, they definitely don’t give the dog a shock or I wouldn’t have got one, I would definitely recommend anyone who wants a bit if peace & quiet to get one, this was a last resort for mine, I have a Shih Tzu, my sister has a Labrador & my friends got a Beagle, money well spe
My pup used to bark at everything and everyone, but now he’ll every so often bark. The collar will make a beeping sound which makes my pup stop instantly. At first, he was confused and trying to take it off for a minute a time, but he got over it after a couple of days. It’s a bit fiddly to put on and use, so just make sure you read the instructions on how to use it correctly… Not sure about long-term use, but I’m willing to use it as long as it works and stays humane!
OK this is going to sound fake, but honestly this is a life saver! Our Cockapoo used to run around the garden barking every time we let her out, it wound everybody up and tempers ran high, neighbours complained and delivery people were scared. However we’re one month into using the collar and it’s changed everything, literally from the moment we put it on she stopped the barking.
The beeps are just enough to distract her and stop the noise, she rarely gets to the vibrations. It’s one of the best things I’ve bought for training, and everyone’s life is less stressful and she’s happier without everyone shouting at her all the time.
We’re just at the stage now where she goes out without it, and still doesn’t bark, so we’ll gradually fade it out over summer.
Our 7 month GSD was very excitable and barked at everything! 2 hours of wearing this and he has stopped the constant barking! We are now on day three and even when not wearing it he is now so much better.
Worked really fast using level 3
The buzz & vibrate stopped my dog barking instantly & now I dont have to put it on her for very long each day.
I purchased two, one for my over excited Spaniel and one for my Yorkshire Terrier who starts the bark fest. I can say that the Yorkie Diva is pretty much sorted but the Spaniel may need an upgrade! Great value and would definitely recommend this product.
This product worked for us. My spaniel was barking for attention in the garden. We used the collar for short spells in the garden and this habit of barking for attention has completely stopped.
I have a huge lab who (used to!) run at people barking. It was embarrassing at best, but no amount of other training worked the second he was off the lead. Well. Until we got this, that is. It gave us the ability to link the verbal commands he obeyed on the lead, OFF the lead!
He’s cured! Why on earth we didn’t get this earlier, I don’t know. But if you are considering this, buy it. Just remember to reinforce it’s vibrating with a verbal command like ‘quiet’ or ‘leave’, whatever fits your situation and you’ll remember, and go for it.
I have a patterdale terrier that used to bark as soon as sat down for dinner at 6:00 in the evening I was at the end of my thither as to what to do with him. Mostly I can talk to him but nothing worked so I bought this collar only used it twice and he stopped barking at that time. Would not use it all the time but as soon as he sees me getting it no more barking. Would recommend it but use it carefully.
Brilliant device, 2 jack Russell’s who seem to bark at everything and abit annoying especially when trying to relax in the garden.got these after debating it for about 12 months . What’s great device , easy to use and set up and the dogs are brilliant with the collars on only use them when dogs in the garden but it’s really changed and so glad I made the purchase best 25 quid spe
It works the trouble is now after using it for a while the doggie is use to it, he barks it goes off he looks at me ready to say quiet he then stops barking. I’m going to leave it off for a few days see what happens.
I was having barking in the car constantly this arrived yesterday she barked twice then this device kicked in and to my surprise she stopped and only barked three barks all the way home it really works when she does bark she then stops amazing product thank you
We have been driven mad by our working cocker spaniel’s constant barking. She’s three years old so didn’t think anything would work. Tried doing training as seen on tv but nothing worked. As soon as we used this collar it worked! We can now go on walks without her barking at other dogs. She no longer barks at the slightest sound at home. It’s managed to break a habit without harming her.
Our dog was a relentless barker at a really irritating pitch. He has driven us mad for nearly 2 years and nothing worked.
We put this collar on, within a few minutes he stopped barking and is now silent even we come in.
Like magic, such a relief!
This collar had no remote so acted within the first seconds to link the action with the bark! In my case it was for overnight as my puppies high pitched yelping echoes through the block of six flats + disturbing neighbours. It worked brilliantly and the link was realised by them – acting to quieting them without the collars beeping. No longer on edge – my sanity was returned!
Absolutely brilliant, it’s a miracle cure for a long standing problem. It stopped my dog barking immediately. I was so impressed I recommended it to my friend who’s dog constantly barked during car journeys and now it just sits looking through the window. I highly recommend this colla
Our beagle pup was constantly barking when we put him outside annoying the neighbours no doubt. After some research I went for this collar and was initially very happy with it. It’s easy to clip on him and very secure. The battery lasts for ages and its waterproof. My only issue is that it moves about on him quite a bit but they may be because of the pup.
We love our Martha but she spends her life possessed, barking at fresh air until she’s in a frenzy. Now that we are working from home, needed a gently solution to make her stop as nothing would work. Soon as it went on, she stopped barking instantly and is much calmer on walks too. I highly recommend this item and have done to all my doggy loving mates.
I wanted to provide a review for the many people out there who might be like we were, experiencing constant dog barking that is so unpleasant. It was daunting for us. My 17-month-old GR started barking incessantly at everything; the neighbour’s cat, birds, when play-fighting with our other dog, and if we went outside in the garden for anything, locking him inside when needing to, even for a few minutes. Or if we were in another room. We thought any day now we are going to get complaints from the neighbours, not to mention how bad the barking had become for us. So in desperation, we checked out some anti-barking products on Amazon.
I cannot praise this collar enough. When first putting it on (leaving his own collar on too) not to make too much fuss) our dog was in the garden and yes, you’ve guessed it, he started barking. The bleep went off followed by a short buzz. Our dog ran into the house but we didn’t over-fuss regard his astonishment on what had just happened, but did calm him and praise him. After that, no more barking and he did not seem disturbed at all by the collar as it was also left on at night. I was always mindful of not having anything that could cause distress. I would not have continued using it if I thought that could be the case. My other concern was when the dogs were play fighting the collar would get ripped off because it is a little chunky on the actual component itself. For that reason, I bought a backup just in case. But no, it remains intact. For all these reasons the product itself gets a 5-star rating.
The set-up was slightly fiddly but not difficult if you follow the instructions. The buzzer goes up to 7 but I set the buzz on 2 and it was not necessary to increase this, meaning, buzzing for longer if my dog barked was not necessary. The battery is said to last 14 days before charging again. I just do it when I know it is not far off that. You can easily see when the battery is fully charged as the green light stop flickering. The red light remains on, I believe. Even when the collar is off during the charging processing which doesn’t take long at all, my dog still doesn’t bark. I also recommended to my brother for his dog. He now doesn’t need the collar on his dog at all as long as the device is in the vicinity. Very happy customers.
We are so pleased with this product, I just had to share our positive experience. Life is so much more peaceful now. Thank you. Thank you.
(I tried this on my own neck before i put it on my dog.) He was barking when he met other dogs but not in an agressive way, he just wanted to play, but we wanted him to realise that it wasn’t ok to do this as some dogs may get scared. It doesn’t hurt or cause any pain. It just gives a beeping noise and then a vibrating sensation on the neck….if anything the beeping noise was enough to stop my dog barking and the vibration that follows after (setting 2) just made him retreat a bit …he doesn’t bark at other dogs when he meets them now and if he does, he just come back to us and then tries again in a calmer way. If he gets too excitable at home and we want him to calm down, we just show it to him and he settles down quickly…
A miracle. My dog’s uncontrollable stressful barking has eased after he has only worn the collar a few times. He does not worry when I put it on and seems far more content even when the cats wander past our window. He does bark when necessary but stops now when told to. Brilliant. It worked for us.
Gave this a go, and was pleasantly surprised.
My dog is a large cross breed, she’s very boisterous and likes to bark
So far this collar has been able to withstand rolling in wet grass, being scraped down walls while she’s having an itch, and it’s still going strong.
As for the vibration, myself and my partner have both worn and tested it, wouldn’t want to test it on the dog until we know we could tolerate it ourselves.
Our dog likes to alert us of almost anything that passes by the window, and this collar has significantly reduced that. Now when she does bark, it’s one or two single barks rather than a good long string of 1-2 mins worth
Definitely worth a go in my opinio
used it to train my puppy not to bark continuously on walks at people and dogs.. wore it each time we went out for a few days & now only take it in my pocket and show her when needed. works magic!
Was starting to get noise complaints for a noisy puppy, had the collor on and hour and already stopped barking, doesn’t need to wear it anymore as doesn’t bark at all through the night. We did do it on setting 5 which seems a bit harsh. 3 would have been enough. Was slightly confusing at first but a YouTube video or 2 cleared it up. No longer need to use it after having it on for one day. Highly recommend
Our Old English is a bit daft and tended to bark a lot when ever he got excited about everything! This worked immediately! It did scare him a little at the start but he’s gotten used to it now and has stopped the barking. Still jumping around daft all the time, but that’s why we love him…
I cannot recommend this enough. Storytime. So my 2 year old cocker spaniel had a bad incident with a bike and gradually his phobia meant that he barked at every single cyclist. When I say barked, I mean he was like a fish on a hook wiggling around but really doing some damage. I have a nice scar where he bit my thigh and countless Bruises just because he was lashing out. It then got to people running and the places where we’d encountered bikes. I tried yelling, rewards for good behaviour, cuddles whilst watching bikes, a hormone collar… And I tried each for months.. Nothing. I was getting to the point of dreading walks.
I bought this collar as a last resort because I didn’t want to hurt him. It arrived and the first thing I did was try it on myself. It beeps whilst vibrating and isn’t painful.
I took the dog out and he did his usual thing except this time he looked startled, stopped barking and demanded to be picked up (he likes being carried so this isn’t too bad), the same thing happened again twice more in about 15 minutes.
The fourth time we saw a bike he stopped, looked at me, stayed still, didn’t bark, and let it go past. I gave him a huge amount of fuss and a treat and his little tail was wagging. From that point onwards he sees bikes and looks to me for treats.
Because it beeps, when he hears the noise he stops barking. I hang his collar by the door, and when a dog goes past he used to start barking. He heard the beeping and stopped. It wasn’t even on him.
I nearly cried. This has been such an issue. It took one walk and its fixed. He was getting stressed out, I was getting stressed out. Now we have amazing walks together. Other dog walkers have noticed and I’ve just been telling everyone too.
This has changed our lives! My 6m old puppy was barking continuously everytime I left the house. I put a camera up and it was distressing to see. My neighbours were stopping me, complaining, banging the wall etc and i was sadly toying with rehoming our beloved boy but bought this one evening as a last resort and in sheer desperation. I can not describe the difference this has made. My dog is calm now. He sleeps, plays, mooches and is just chilled. He is no longer distressed or in a state of despair barking and howling. I can not rate it enough. Our trainer said that for the short vibration it may give off he gets hours of calm and that is better for him, she is so right. I don’t remember the last time he barked and he is so much happier, so are we and even my moany neighbours haven’t said another word!
I have to say like most i was sceptical if this would work, but from the moment the collar was fitted and after just one bark, this collar worked, we got this for our mother in laws dog that is less than a year old, having been told about the item from a neighbour of ours. Now a couple of weeks in no more yapping dog, it has calmed him right down as he barked at everything and everyone before the collar was put on. For the money this really is great value and an amazing product.
Tried all sorts of aids to help stop my yappy dog barking, I was initially sceptical with the concept, but wow, it actually works, he has stopped barking at other dogs and buses.
We put it on every time we go out and I think he now knows that when we put it on he knows he cannot bark.
Great bit of kit, definitely recommend.
Thank you.
I bought this for my Jack Russell, she was sending me around the bend with her insistent barking. Despite trying all the dog training advice she didn’t stop and was so engrossed she wouldn’t listen to anything I said. She barked at anything or nothing. First thing in the morning as soon as the door opened she’d shoot out and bark at next doors dog if it was out or not. Going on walks was a nightmare, barking at every dog we passed. The collar has certainly calmed her down when out on walks to where I can now get her attention to distract her. Barking at next doors dog is still a work in progress I don’t think anything will alter it, I’m hopeful though that it might just take more time.
I love this collar so much!! It has changed our lives. Completely altered my dog’s pattern of barking at neighbours passing the house and becoming hysterical. Now all is calm, I can’t recommend it enough. Also the rechargeable battery lasts for days and is so much better than the ineffectual one I had before. My dog is more chilled now as well, he knows when he has it on there is no point in barking which makes such a difference in the house. I originally set it to level 1 because I hadn’t properly read the instructions, and it made no difference… then I changed it to level 5 and it works AMAZINGLY. Honestly, I am recommending it to everyone I know with barking dog issues. (It is also really solid, well made and great quality.)
My dog is a compulsive barker she barks at everything and anything. This thing really works. She is learning to communicate in other ways and if she has to bark she is even barking quieter lol. I tried all other training techniques but nothing worked just 1 day and she is doing so much better.
My dog got himself worked up into a right state barking at every dog we passed to the point he was panting and choking, from the very start of using this collar it worked so well he barks once and the collar vibrates and distracts him, he is so much calmer and enjoys his walks much more
I had to write a review, I bought this for my pug who non stop barks at the birds in the garden, really didn’t think it would work, but all I can say is amazing, as soon as collar goes on he doesn’t bark, now he goes in the garden without the collar, and doesn’t bark at all , I recommend 100%
Ideal to train dog to stop constant barking, wouldn’t recommend leaving on dog all the time, and would recommend starting on low level and increasing if required, ideal for unwanted barking especially at antisocial hours, during normal hours I would recommend allowing your dog to bark normally as this aids training of unwanted barking, and allows your dog to act normally. Good value for money, good quality materials, delivery fast, I would definitely recommend if all other training options have been exhausted.
This is a good collar that does stop my dog barking if he doesn’t have it on all the time . I have found he can get use to it if on all the time and then it doesn’t stop the barking also if it’s on the highest settings it can be set off by the other dogs barking which isn’t very fair as he’s the one getting the vibration ! However it certainly has its uses it stops him barking when put on when visitors come overall would recommend
This collar is certainty very effective. My cockerpoo used to charge out the back door barking his head off. We’ve only had the collar three days and he now gives an initial bark then stops. He did look very surprised at the vibration at first but it certainly didn’t bother him. The only thing I find really strange about it is there’s no means of attaching a lead to it or an ID tag. Fortunately, he doesn’t bark when we go out so it’s not a major problem. Just a pain to have to keep changing his collar over at walkie times. Would be ok if you used a choke lead or harness but no good for a standard collar and lead but even then, you still can’t attach an ID tag in case he ran out the front door or back gate.
Fantastic piece of equipment & so easy to use, I used the lower setting & instantly my springer mix stopped barking in the car. The device on the collar has a mild vibration & stops my dog barking continuously, we have a motorhome & we’re worried sick about the dog barking on our trips away. Problem solved & we are so happy, thank you Dogrook. 5 stars
We have struggled with our 1 year old cockapoo barking at the TV, at every loud noise and every animal he sees. We tried positive reinforcing (treats) and a number of methods that simply didn’t work. We were skeptics at first about this collar but thought we would give it a try. After only two days using it during walks and prime TV (evenings) we are amazed just how well this Collar has worked. It has worked so well that he now makes the conscious decision not to bark, even when the collar is not on him. Our aim is to train him and when he is completely trained we will no longer even need the collar. We have it set on the lowest sensitivity level 1. I would highly recommend.
Only put on dog for maximum of 10 minutes when barking and plenty of praise when not barking. Stops him barking as vibration and buzzing surprises him. Now collar sits on coffee table and when he barks out front window it vibrates on table and makes a noise, he stops barking. Only took a week of training, now he is warned, same word warning works outside as well.
After months of worry if my neighbours would start complaining about that cute little ball of fluff that barks constantly at cats, squirrels, birds, neighbours, bees, butterflys, flies ! I bought this collar, dosent harm him at all just takes his mind of what he started barking at.
So i open door pop collar on and wait ….NOTHING BUT SILENCE !
Day 1 he started barking , by the second woof the beeps started and then the vibration, it stopped him instantly he was confused as to where the noise was so his mind was taken away from what he was barking at. Day 2 pop it on when he goes out , he don’t even bother to try and bark cause he knows mums popped the collar on. Highly recommend wish I bought it months ago
So, I was very skeptical about this collar, nothing had worked with my dogs with heavy separation anxiety. Every time I left home even for 15 mins they would go crazy, howl, bark. I got myself a pet camera, I would talk to them, they got distracted for a moment and kept on barking again. Eventually the neighbor even called the police thinking the dogs were abandoned or something. I got these collars as a last resource not being very hopeful, but to my surprise, first time I put them on, they felt the first vibration and beep and that was it, they stopped barking immediately, the neighbor even asked what we did.
I only put it on when I’m going out so they don’t get used to it, and honestly they even stopped noticing the mailman. I guess I lost the security in my house but gained two very well behaved dogs 🙂 Highly recommend, and the battery lasts ages.
I thought a neighbour would start litigation when my 11 month old cockapoo started barking in the middle of the night, partly separation anxiety partly Urban Foxes near the house. This collar worked from the get go .. he barked once .. looked about followed by a low growl and then unbelievably he has not barked at night since .. I will wait till aforesaid neighbour goes on holiday and will leave him downstairs without the collar at night to see if Pavlov has worked his magic highly recommended
I was sceptical at first. We have a pup who was starting to bark in the early hours of the morning. Bought this will very low expectations but after only one night she stopped asking. The different settings are great. The battery lasts a very long time before you have to charge it. It obviously does not cause distress as our our pup doesn’t mind getting in on. (I placed it against my throat to be sure it wouldn’t hurt the dog. It is a mild discomfort) I image its uses distraction to stop the dog barking. I can highly, highly recommend this product. I wish I’d had it for previous dogs.
Our muched beloved cockapoo is a extremely friendly bundle of fluff that has a big heart and a small brain. As a result he has broken our hearts with his constant barking, when we put him in the back garden. He will bark at birds flying over, clouds in the sky and even the wind.
We were at our wit’s end trying to work from home.
I’m pleased to say this collar had an immediate effect. Problem solved, now he can be let out and I can focus on work. Happy days!
This is the best thing I have bought my dogs, they would bark throughout the night for no reason they would bark at any little noise or some one walking past the gate. Since putting the collars on them it’s like they are different dogs they are a lot calmer and seem more relaxed throughout the day and night even when they are not wearing the collers I would highly recommend this colle
This is an early days review so I can’t comment on long term durability, but it does work. My dog would bark a lot at night. Every time a floorboard creaked, someone went to the bathroom, opening or closing blinds, hoover, if one of the family sneezed, and most of all reflections in windows (she would think a reflection was someone in the garden.) And when she spots a hedgehog in the garden then no-one is getting any sleep. This collar – on the weakest setting – sorted this all out in under 48 hours. We’ve had to make sure we give her lots of reassurance because for the fist few days she wasn’t happy. But we had a day with the collar off and she only barked once. I’m hoping that after a few weeks the collar will be collecting dust in a drawer. Finally, I wish I’d bought one sooner, I’m more than happy to pay the asking price, sleep is very valuable to me.
Our golden cocker Lna, loves the sound of her voice.. As she plays out in the garden alot with out other dog Gibbs & there’s next door’s cat.. It can get very loud.. This collar has definitely toned her back, but not 100% she doesn’t like the beep, but she’s got used to the vibration… My other dog sets it off by barking at her, just to get rid of her for 5 minutes. It has definitely made a difference, but I’m not sure long term. Plus she’s managed to chew the charger, so I don’t know if I can get a replaceme
The collar was delivered very quickly and came fully charged which allowed us to try it out immediately. Right away our Sprocker spaniel responded to the first ‘buzz’ on the lowest level. We have only had the collar one week and what a different dog. Normally he races around our garden, and once he starts barking he just can’t stop. However now He is calmer as a result of not barking, and even if he does bark it doesn’t continue in a frenzied way. We are delighted, and honestly amazed, at how well the collar has worked and how our spaniel seems happy to wear it ( he only wears it when out in the garden)
Only used this once as l hated myself for resorting to this. However its for his own good as he barks at people passing, visitors and noise. Living in a small terraced bungalow l have to consider my neighbours. He is a long term foster belonging to a family member. If he’s complained about there’s no where else for him to dog. So being cruel to be kind l put it on him, lowest setting. Wasn’t long before someone passed the window. Barked, beeb, he turns, what the heck was that? Didn’t need to vibrate he stopped barking. Took it off him that evening when all quiet. He goes out of the room when he sees it. As l said if it continues works it will be a life. safer. Easy to set up.
I never ever write reviews, but thank you to all the 27,000 people that did that made me try !
This collar worked really well for both my doberman (extreme barker) and my little chug. It fits both. I usually put it on the doberman when they are going into the dogrun. It worked from the first day just at the 2nd setting which is just a low beep. The battery lasts a few days. I bought a second one for a neighbours Maltese and it’s working well for her too. Great value, surprisingly effective and most importantly it does not hurt or distress the dogs.
Bought this in desperation gas our 9 month old puppy was incessantly barking at absolutely everything and nothing else was working. I really didn’t have high hopes at all. When I put it on at first, it actually made him bark more and I had even less hope of it working but within about 2 or 3 hours, bingo! As soon as he realised it was happening when he barked he stopped and hasn’t made a noise since! I cannot recommend this highly enough and best of all, it’s comfortable and the dog is happy. Best money we have ever spe
I’ve never left a review before but I couldn’t pass this one over!! My 1 yr old dog just barks incessantly in our garden whenever he is out there and it was getting embarrassing!! I searched for products and gave this a go. The results were instant from the first bark, he ran straight in when it started vibrating and after 2 days he is so well behaved and only does the odd low level bark. The difference is amazing!! I can actually look my neighbours in the eye again . Thoroughly recommend!
This device works as advertised. The battery life really depends on how often the dogs bark but it is working. Our dogs recognise the collars and have started barking less at everything. Bliss!…
So we don’t have to put them on that often now, as a result the battery life is good for a quite a few days.
I have a large male German Shepherd who got into the habit of barking at foxes he could hear at night which was starting to bother the neighbours.
Put it on him on the lowest sensitivity level of 1 and the mild vibration and it works perfectly. We only put it on him at night time as barking is part of his nature as a guarding breed but after couple of weeks use he no longer needs it as he understands that when it’s night it’s time to be quiet!
In all honesty I’d rather not have had to use it at all but it has prevented the neighbours putting in a noise complaint.
Well, I was very sceptical about this product workingsurely it can’t be that easy to stop your dog barking??? Well, I was proved wrong!
Product was delivered the day after I ordered and already had the strap fitted so I literally had to turn it on and choose sensitivity level.
We have a crossbreed rescue pup who started to bark every time he went into the garden, he would bark at the wind, a leaf blowing, ANYTHING! We did not want this to continue as it would disturb neighbours and us and we also felt the dog was never relaxed in the garden and we wanted to nip this in the bud before spring/summer so he could hopefully go out and start to enjoy the garden rather than always being on guard and tense.
I put it on him and he went out, barked, it gave the high pitched beep and then must have vibrated. He ran straight in to his bed, it was not nice to see him looking confused but I had to remind myself why we were doing it and the benefits in the long run and it does not hurt them it is just a different sensation. without a word of a lie, he barked once more that evening when he went out, it beeped and before it even got to vibrate he was in his bed. We praised him for not barking and encouraged him to still go back out as it is not about putting him off the garden but he VERY quickly got the correlation between barking and the beep/vibrate.
We are still putting it on him one week on just to ensure it is embedded in him not to bark in the garden but I think we could have stopped using the collar after 2 days it was that successful.
We are due to go away in a lodge in a few weeks and I think he may be inclined to bark at anybody who walks past so we will definitely take the collar and again, I imagine it will do the trick pretty much straight away!
Fab product!
Like others, We were worried this may just be a gimmick, but how wrong were we. We have seen instant results with our pup. She would bark for hours but now while wearing the collar she barks the once then stops. If anyone is worried like we were, please dont. You really won’t regret buying this. A*****
We have a 17 month Doberman who had started barking throughout the night ( loudly). This was mainly due to the fox activity outside. Literally on the hour every hour. We have used this device for the last four nights and it has worked perfectly. She literally barked once and then stopped instantly. We have this on a very low setting and it still works perfectly. I am truly amazed at the difference this has made. Just vibrates and causes no discomfort. She has no issues on us putting it on her at all. Highly recommended
Well, what can I say! I have 4 dogs, all of them bark at what I perceive as nothing. They’re all coerced into barking by the lead barker “Nalah” so today I received the DogRook collar and wow! Silence! Well, all apart from my senior dog who now decides she will become lead barker so. There I go ordering another collar for her since I am so impressed with this one! Usually all it takes is a member of my household to walk downstairs and all of the dogs start barking all led by lead barker herself. Now nothing. THANK YOU DOGROOK! One thing I will say is that I’ve had the collar a mere matter of hours and so cannot attest to its hardiness, battery life or really any other thing associated with prolonged use but what I can say is that right out of the box I am IMPRESSED!
I bought this for my border collie when she stayed at my daughters house where she barked all the time. However, now whenever she wears the collar there is a significant reduction with her barking. It is gentle and much better than her being told off and sent to her bed for constantly barking. She only wears the collar when she is alone in the house and is more prone to barking.
This is the best anti barking collar I’ve purchased , it’s so easy to use and can be recharged so you don’t have the worry of having to put in new batteries, our chihuahua is no longer vocal when people visit or leave the house , instead he enjoys a good fuss and alls happy , we don’t leave it on him when we go out just when we have visitors or if he’s having a very vocal day ,,
It’s a great device
Many thanks
As the dog’s hair grows, the collar seems less effective. But has helped.
Our puppy (Cocker Spaniel) has a strong personality and trying to get him to stop barking was difficult compared to all the other dogs we have trained over the years. We put this on him once when he was having a good bark at everything and he stopped. The sound it makes as a warning before it starts vibrating was enough. Every now and then we just show him the collar and he stops barking almost immediately. Take it off when your puppy or dog stops and put it back on only if you need to. If you are lucky like we were, all you will need to do is show the collar to them. I highly recommend it.
At first it worked really well but eventually he started to just ignore it and keep on barking even while it goes off…
So I decided to try this product, and it was great. It’s only been one night but it made a huge difference. The usual happened, we went to bed and she started barking. Once, twice, then third time she stopped halfway and realised what was going on. She didn’t bark at all after that, not one sound. I took the collar off in the morning.
Also..it doesn’t hurt them at all, my daughter insisted on putting it around her wrist to try it on all settings. It’s just a vibration and is pain free.
Have only had this a couple of weeks, however it seems to be helping curb his barking. The main problem is that it doesn’t stay in the correct position all of the time, therefore is not quite so effective! It certainly has noticeably decreased his reactive barking to passing pedestrians etc.
Didn’t think would work, but it was instant. Have 4 pugs and a telly that comes out the bed, which when a animal comes on really upsets the one dog. As soon as we put the collar on and it went off he stop barking and returned to where he was sitting. It also works if one of the others get up – he would normally try to stop them but it’s like he knows the collar will go off so leaves it. Wish I had got it sooner. We got a 2nd for the youngest dog as well but don’t need to use it as often. Has the same effect on her as well. It stops them in their tracks!!
After reading many reviews while listening to my 10 week old golden retriever pup bark with anxiety whenever some one left the room. I brought this collar, it was my first dog, so its a learning curve for everyone involved.
He barks for 20 straight minutes until settling down when you left him for any period, I fit the collar on a Thursday afternoon, and by Monday lunchtime I’d heard a grand total of 4 barks ! It’s a total instant turnaround.
If the collar company would now make one to stop him.pissing inside, id buy stock!!
In fact, for our household this device has been brilliant for us AND our dog. He’s a rescue and has had a tough time. When we were not in the room and something triggered him then he would bark and bark and bark and get himself worked up. After just a few barks whilst using this collar that stopped. The collar is on setting green 1, the least sensitive and the least vibration. Now when he barks (once), he stops, looks around, then goes back to what he was doing before. He still barks when people come to the house but only once. He seems less stressed and more relaxed. We’re happy and delighted that he seems happier. Wish I’d got one of these ages ago.
Our dog stopped barking, and he wore the collar only 1 day. We didn’t have to put it on again as there was no need anymore. Before this, our dog was barking for at least 1-2 min every time someone was near our house or at the door (like our neighbours), no matter the time of day, no matter what we did and despite any command or treat.
Brilliant device – totally worth it! A little big for our tiny dog, but he only had to wear it for such short time, so it wasn’t an issue.
Fyi – my dog is a purebred Pomeranian, very cute but very opinionated.
We had a new rescue puppy, and as she settled into the house, started barking a lot.
We were concerned about the effect on the neighbours as much as ourselves so tried this.
You fit the collar tightish around the neck and when she barks it beeps and vibrates.
So each time she began barking she was immediately distracted and stopped after a couple of barks.
Then she got it off one day and ate it. The warranty doesn’t seem to cover that.
We didn’t want her to stop altogether, just stop the excess and this seems to have done the job.
Really pleased
Did not add the prong covers as they were pointy. Not needed as it works fine withou
Wowsers. Received yesterday and can say it’s the best purchase ever. Our two small dogs are over reactive to birds, leaves, doorknocks, “hellos” everyrhing. We bought one collar for our noisy boy, and within 5 mins of wearing we were able to ring the doorbell and he would stop instantly and retreat to his bed. Too good to be true, then the quiet dog decided to take over from his brother and start being the vocal one, setting off his friends buzzer when he was sat nice and quiet. So now they both have one. Dog 1 has stopped jumping up at the door, stopped barking when neighbours dog barks and is all round happier. Dog 2 yaps once then gives up and waddles off. I wish we had found this product 5 years ago, seriously life changing after so much stress and heartache hearing the dogs bark on the doggy can when we leave the house for ten minutes. No longer happens. Buy one, your stress levels and neighbours will thank you
It was time to be proactive and sort our dog’s bad habit when it comes to Barking and we knew about products such as this but never really thought we needed it. Oh, how wrong I was!
I would recommend this to anyone that has a vocal Furry Friend, works out of the box and for us in a matter of hours we noticed a big big difference.
We only use it for walks and when she is in the garden but only after continues barking.
Worth every penny and in my opinion this does not hurt the dog, similar to your phone vibrating.
Our terrier was always constantly barking at the next door neighbours( who may I add are wonderful people) the barking was becoming intolerable to us and the neighbours . I have only used this collar once and let me tell you this really does work. It let’s off a sound and it vibrates so who ever thinks this is a shock collar I can categorically tell you this isn’t. I only used it last night …tonight we have a really placid dog who actually ran out to my neighbours and allowed them to make a fuss of her without the loud continuous barking. Mummy 1 fur baby 0 I’m very happy
I have never left a review before for an item..but feel I have to this as it has literally changed our lives!!
Our mini poodle has increasingly barked in the garden causing us so much stress as a family. He was literally barking at everything and we are surrounded by neighbours.
Within 2 wears of this collar he has stopped!! A month later I still pop it on him 90% of the time he is out there..but no barking he just chills.
I don’t think the collar has distressed him, just made him stop barking. We are so much more relaxed as a family and dog.
Incredible!
We didn’t want to upset our dog or feel like we were being bad owners,but she was getting in such a state howling and barking whenever we went out, we tried dog training hours and hours of following what to do to help her and many toys and gadgets, she did improve but only a tad so after a few months we decided to try this. After reading the good reviews , she very quickly clocked that if she kicks off it will beep and she didn’t like that she now lays down no panting no crying or panicking and is even calmer when we come in and out the door because it doesn’t allow her to get into he crazy state happy owner happy dog to add the first few times we used it we done short spaces of time and watched her on the camera to make sure she was ok with it plus reasuring her that all was ok
I loved everything about the collar. Perhaps not so much the prong covers as they seemed a bit harsh but they are for thick coated dogs this has totally changed our lives. Its not cruel and it works. My six month old puppy has settled so much more with strange noises, he has relaxed so much which can only be good. We took the collar off which he whined so in the end we let him have it back but looser and on the minimum setting.THIS IS NOT IN ANY FORM A SHOCK COLLAR. It emits vibration and a bleep sound which gets the dogs attention enough to be able to praise him and to tell him quiet. Absolutely delighted with i
This has worked well with our dog, and I am sure has made our neighbours happy!
Was a little bit sceptical about this product. My Ponter is a very Barky Barky Boy, at the door when anyone comes but also continuously when any one other
than our household is at the house.
We had builders around this last week and true to form BARK BARK BARK none stop
so I gave the collar a go.
No issues at all with him wearing it as similar size to his tracker, he went about his routine then saw the builders and started barking, and then he suddenly ran into the lounge and sat on his bed !!
We thought surely that didn’t work that fast, a little later same again and the time after, he didn’t bother Barking any more after those three times.
It seemed to surprise him enough to distract distract his attention.
The plan is to use the collar when we are expecting people to be at the house, we don’t mind him barking when someone comes to the door etc as we can put him in a different room while we open the door, not so easy when you have visitors in the house so fingers crossed this will help keep him calmer and quiet enough to follow his commands in the future.
I never leave reviews but this one is worth it. We have an annoyingly cute puggle that has little man syndrome and launches his self at our front door anytime the door knocksYour ears are immediately destroyed by his warning bark barks and no matter how hard we tried to train him to be more gracious at the door, all faileduntil now the collar startled him at first but deffo did not cause him any harm. He is still able to bork bork a little before it sets of the vibrate, which we like as we didn’t want him to view his human house companions as Ursula and steal his voice like poor gal Ariel. If you have a floofball that destroys your ear drums, try thisThanks!
The first night we put this on our 7 month old Cockapoo, it put an instant end to his hysterical evening howling sessions. Our idiot dog would be set off by a gnat farting 15 miles away, and wouldn’t stop until we dragged him back inside and calmed him down with treats and a strongly worded letter from our MP.
I believe that the neighbours would have been shopping for sniper rifles in the coming weeks if it hadn’t been for this brilliant collar. He’s learned how to avoid setting it off now, by making quiet little huffing barks, which don’t disturb anybody, and we only need to put it on him in the evenings, as a preventative measure.
The only thing that could possibly improve this would be a remote to activate the collar when the little sod is digging up the garden or running off with a pair of my wife’s favourite knickers.
**EDIT**
Be careful if your dog wears this when out for walks. On two occasions, we have met other dogs who barked at our little dude, and it set off his collar. The poor little bugger didn’t know what was going on, as he was completely innocent (this time), and it upset him a little.
Small and easy to set up.
Charged in about an hour
My dog was barking as per his usual self so I decided to put the collar on the setting no 4. As soon as he started barking the collar made some beeping noises. He became clearly scared but after a few rounds of the living room he settled down. Tried barking couple of more times and then guess what? Peace and quiet. Finally he is a pleasure to be around. I don’t write too many reviews, but this product made me so happy that it deserves one.
I don’t usually review things on Amazon, but I do like to read them before purchasing anything – so if anyone is reading this and is still on the fence about whether to buy this collar or not – DO IT! It’s probably the best money I’ve ever spent and I’d do it again.
My dog is a rescue who learnt whilst she was in the kennels at the RSPCA that the loudest bark gets the most attention so when I say she had a headache-inducing bark, I’m not exaggerating. She is also extremely reactive so every single noise or movement outside the house she would bark at. God forbid anyone knocked on the door! Anyway, we put the collar on her, she barked once, and has hardly barked since! We did use the opportunity to train her with the “quiet” command, so when she did bark or make a sound with the collar on, we’d say “quiet” and then praise her for being quiet. We’d also praise her for not reacting to situations (like the postman) that she usually would have reacted to. So she now responds to that command and we don’t have to use the collar as much anymore (and I think we’ve only had it a couple of weeks or so???)
Get it. Honestly just get it. I regret not getting it sooner.
I wasn’t really expecting this to work to be honest but I was willing to give anything I try I have a terrier Cross with major small man syndrome he would bark at anything that got with in 1/2 a mile of our house he would square up to visitors he didn’t recognise and make them feel uncomfortable. When we were out and he saw other dogs he would go wild growling barking and almost foaming at the mouth trying to get to them it was very stressful and now he has this it’s changed the whole experience of taking him out for walks he’s much more settled when visitors arrive to
It doesn’t stop my dog barking at other dogs completely, but it does stop him barking for so long. I think over time we may be on a winner.
Was sceptical at first but so far so good, not had long to test the device but from what I have seen so far I’m impressed. Time will tell I guess.
This is a good product, it has not fully stopped the dog from barking but it has definitely made her bark less. It is easy to use and has a quieter bell than ones I have used before , which is good as other people can’t hear it . I also like the fact it is rechargable and so you don’t need to keep changing the battery.
This arrived, charged it, put it on her… Different dog! She’s quite clever so it’s amusing watching her try to work out how loud she can get away with barking before it buzzes – I wish I’d found this sooner, it’s a complete godsend.
One of my dogs seemed a little scared at first after feeling the buzz (tail between legs, ears down), but after that she was fine.
Dogs understood very quickly that barking triggered the sensation.
The beeps are just enough to distract her and stop the noise, she rarely gets to the vibrations. It’s one of the best things I’ve bought for training, and everyone’s life is less stressful and she’s happier without everyone shouting at her all the time.
We’re just at the stage now where she goes out without it, and still doesn’t bark, so we’ll gradually fade it out over summer.
