It works...,

This review is from: Innotek Automatic No-Bark Dog Collar, BC-50B. (Misc.)
We bought this collar for our animal shelter rescued American Eskimo who barked ALL THE TIME. By barked all the time, I mean he barked and kept barking for 10 minutes or more. He barked at us, he barked at the other dogs, he barked at the cats, he barked at any noises inside or outside, he barked whenever someone walked in the door, he barked while he played and he barked in his kennel. The worst part was when he would start barking at 4 in the morning and not stop till we let him out at 8. For two months we tried everything we could think of, and everything a certified trainer could think of... with absolutely no luck.The day I got it I rubbed in against a hard surface and touched the tips. I did that several times (to get it to go up as high as I could). It startles you a lot; it really doesn't hurt, even all the way up. If you do that yourself, remember to take out the battery so that it will reset down to the lowest shock level. It takes a couple of hours to reset itself back down, and taking the battery out and then putting it back in will restart it. The first day I put it on my dog he barked up to the 3rd or 4th setting before he gave a yelp and stopped barking. It was the kind of yelp he does when he is rough housing with the other dogs; the yelp that says "okay, you win, I give up" NOT "I'm in pain". We used it every evening after work and through the night... for about 2 weeks. Now we might have to put it on him once a week for a couple of hours, just as a reminder. He almost never barks in the house anymore, and when he does it is just one bark and he is done. Periodically throughout the week when he is quiet (like when we walk in the door and he doesn't bark at us) we walk over and give him a treat, to reinforce the good behavior. I think the product is great. I don't usually like products like this, but there are some dogs that just won't learn any other way. We rescued our dog from the animal shelter and his bad barking habit was already drilled into him... this was all we could do to fix it. Once your dog learns what happens it shouldn't take very long for him to realize that barking is not good... then just reinforce the good behavior when it happens. Hope this helps.

My wife and I both tested this on ourselves before we used it to train our dogs.The level of stimuation is similar to the "hand buzzer" joke toys. Dogs like to be good. This stimulation is far more humane than all the accumulated "Bad Dogs!" they would have gotten while we tried to train them out of thier natural behaviour. It works pretty fast too. When the dogs were trained we removed the collar. When they reverted to barking we put it back on. Now we just have to show it to them and they quiet down.

I have 3 small dogs, two doxies and one peke. The dominant doxie would get the other two barking like mad. When she was in bark mode nothing would stop her and I've read and watched Cesar Milan (who I still love!) and tried so many techniques. Being very tiny, she could go thru almost any fence in our neighborhood and bark at squirrels, people in their own yards, whatever. She would not stop, would not come when called. She was in danger of being hit by a car because she would run down the road barking at passers by. I tried the citronella collar but the batteries ran out quickly, were expensive, and she wore the collar out in a short time. I've had these collars for a few months now, the batteries are still working, and I'm happy to say that my problem is finally SOLVED. The dog does not roam and run away from me when I call now that she cannot bark maniacally at whatever she pleases. She is a sweet dog but the barking was like an obsession with her! I highly recommend this product if you've had similar problems.
