We have a small dog (sheepoo) and she just yaks and yaks as soon as she is let out the front door to do her business or to just sit on the front porch. It drives everybody crazy. We didn't want to use the zapper type collar becasue we thought that for a small dog it seemed mean (we actually tried our neighbours zapper collar) plus when I did some research on those collars, I didn't read many positive feedbacks. We tried the citronella collar and it has stopped her from barking when she is outside and it is just wonderful. I can't say that it has trained her because she will still do her barking frenzy if she realizes she's not wearing it but we are so happy that now we can let her out to do her business at midnight and she dosen't wake up the neighbourhood.

This product did not totally disappoint. It does what it says it will do. I think my pup just doesn't get it. After a few days, rather than stopping barking, she just got used to being sprayed in the face. Another thing I noticed is when the other dogs bark, she gets sprayed, but doesn't seem to mind.

If I have anything negative to say about the product it's simply that it took quite a while to get here - kinda slow, when you're excited to try something new and the pup keeps barking at the invisible critters in the back yard.

The actual spray portion of the system is very good and effective with our 5 year old Lhasa Apso, however he was able to tear through the collar which we had to replace with a leather one. All in all a good product and well worth the packaged purchase .

We have 3 dogs (kids). Our middle child will yap at anything and get his brothers started and basically drive mom and dad crazy. We tried the ultrasonic bark stoppers in the house to no avail.

I didn't try the "shock" anti-bar collars for 3 reasons:

1. I didn't like the idea of shocking my dog
2. My dog is a Pomeranian and there's no way to get skin contact through all that fur
3. My dog is 10 pound soaking wet and it's hard to get these types of collars to fit

This collar was wonderful. Of course we had to cut the collar in half to accommodate the smaller neck, but it still went on just fine.

Another good thing is that the collar only needs to sit near the throat, it does not require any skin contact. That makes it perfect for Poofy dogs like mine.

I personally like the smell of Citronella so that didn't bother me. My dogs however, did not like it, which is the point. I put the collar on our trouble making middle child and waited.

As soon as he started barking a little spritz of Citronella shot up in front of his face. Immediately he stopped barking and turned to run away from whatever invisible force had attempted to stop him. After a minute of cleaning his nose with his paw he was gone again. After a few trials he realized that the invisible force was following him everywhere so it was best just not to bark! YAY!!!!!!

It only took a couple of days wearing the collar during the day, but took it off for bedtime, for his barking to be drastically improved. Now it's about a year later and I only use it occasionally if he starts to revert to his bark at anything days.

Getting the instigator under control has brought peace to our household and save us a lot of frustration and money on aspirin :-)

It took us 4 years to find something that worked for our particular dog, so don't give up. Dogs are like people and different ones respond to different things.

My three dogs love to bark to play, alert for anything strange and any number of things. My first goal is to train them to bark for alert and do their best to distinguish other events. When that fails, on goes the citronella anti-bark collar. They immediately become silent. With one of my dogs, I do not need to turn the collar on, he just stays quiet. I have been using this product for years and highly recommend it to friends and strangers.

Thank god for this device, it has enabled me to live peacefully with my fiancee's unbelievably noisy and willful Pomeranian. Very effective and no negative effects on the dog, we are a happy family now. My gratitude to whoever invented this thing.

I was initially very pleased with the product as it did what it promised... for a while. The dog disliked the citronella and curtailed his barking. However after a couple of weeks it's effectivenness started to wain. It now works for little barking episodes as the squirt seems to remind him to keep quiet. But when he goes into a full- throttled, barking frenzy, he completely ignores it and uses up the contents of the collar and smells like citronella. In retrospect, instead of relying on the collar to stop the barking, I think I should have used more trainig with him in conjunction with the collar. This may have been a more effective way of controlling the barking.

My Chorkie (5lbs) had a barking problem, and it was getting out of control. I looked on-line and the Multivet Anti Bark Spray Collar had the best reviews. I didn't want to spend that much on a barking collar, but now I don't regret it at all. The Multivet Spray Collar has been the best thing I have purchased in a long time. I would recommend this product to everyone looking for a safe, and effective barking collar for their dog. It has worked so well for my dog, and now when I put the collar on her I don't have to turn it on, she just knows not to bark. I love it, and so do my neighbors. I also recommend buying the refills and a couple of batteries.

We have a 10 yr old English Cocker Spaniel that is a barker. We tried a shock collar several years ago and it worked for a little while and then it seemed as if he didn't mind the shock because he kept on barking. Finally, at my witts end, I broke down and bought this citronella collar (after 4 years of barking). And it worked almost right away. He got one spray and it was - "WOW what was that!" Now as long as he has it on he doesn't bark, a low growl maybe. And even if he has it off he is a little hesitant to bark. But once he realizes it is off he will bark. I make him wear it in the car otherwise he barks continuously at anything and everything. This collar is terrific and I will recommend it to anyone I can. It smells great to me (not to the dog) and I feel a lot better that he isn't getting a JOLT everytime he barks.

My friend recommended this so I just gave it a try and i have to say it really works !!!
