5.0 out of 5 stars Effective bark control, April 5, 2010

This review is from: PetSafe Big Dog Bark Control Collar (Misc.)

This collar has saved a lot of anger in the middle of the night with our constantly barking Pyrenees. It does not hurt her, but it gives just enough of a buzz to remind her to shush until it comes off of her neck.

We have had to buy multiple collars because of our own forgetfulness, leaving it on her when we let the house dog out who proceeds to pull it off of her and use it as a chew toy.

Just make sure that it is tight enough to touch the skin through the fur and do not leave it on the dog for more than is absolutely necessary. I believe the instructions say no more than 12 or 14 hours at a time.

Our dog is now allowed to stay in the city limits without noise citations and we are able to get a good night of sleep without having to yell at her every 15 minutes. :-)

3.0 out of 5 stars Collar slips on dogs neck too much, October 5, 2009

By	George J. Perkins (Madison Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: PetSafe Big Dog Bark Control Collar (Misc.)

When the contact points are correctly aligned on the dog's neck, it works. Problem is that the collar tends to move around on our active lab mix. It is adjusted according to the instructions, but the point is, a young, active dog will run around and the SLIPPERY PLASTIC collar material just moves all over the place.

Despite the collar not being effective over 75% of the time (because it isn't centered on the vocal cords because it has slipped), our dog has learned not to bark so much. It has only been about 6 weeks and we don't leave this collar on the dog all that much; she is free of the bark collar whenever we are with her. When she is alone then most of the time she gets the dog collar on (depends on if the kids remember). The true test will be if a few months from now when we never put the collar on her any more she doesn't get "collar smart" and bark just when she doesn't have the collar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Dog Bark Collar, March 15, 2010

This review is from: PetSafe Big Dog Bark Control Collar (Misc.)

We are using this collar on a four year old rescue German Shepherd who was circling and barking relentlessly. With the collar on he is quiet and calm. He does not seem to mind the collar.

Great product. It works exactly as promised.
