Let's get this in the open. I'm a bit of a masochist. And pretty impulsive when my patience runs out. That being said, let me tell you about the BarkStop Control Collar.
We have four dachshunds, and had finally trained the other three when we got the fourth. This one, Beazlebub, would not stop barking. She would bark to hear herself talk, as it were. After reaching the decision on a bark collar, we went shopping, and suffered sticker shock at the local prices here in Eastern Oregon.
One session of Googling later, I found this collar. All the reviews I read were extremely positive, save for one who mentioned that the collar would come from Hong Kong. I figured for the price, I could wait for it.
The collar arrived while I was out of town on business, but the wife could not wait. The results were no less than terrific. Dog didn't notice the new collar, no fidgeting, and a few moments returned to barking.
The collar emits a beep at first to warn the dog (or, in this case, all who are watching that the fun was about to start), and after repeated barking shocked the dog. Wife ecstatically reported that the dog looked like the proverbial jumping bean as the dog sought the source of the shock.
It didn't take long for the collar to achieve the desired effect-and, as a bonus, our dogs are truly pack animals, and one beep from the collar keeps them all in line, now. My house is soooo much more pleasant since the purchase of the collar. I highly recommend it if you suffer from loud, over active dogs. And the price is the icing on the cake. All in all, I'm very satisfied.
