Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Eliminate or significantly reduce nuisance barking with this anti-bark dog collar. The system combines patented Spraylogik technology with proven behavior-modification techniques, providing an effective way to redirect pets away from not only excessive barking, but also other unwanted behaviors such as digging, jumping on the counter, and leaving the yard. Its patented Spraylogik technology delivers a harmless burst of citronella spray that interrupts the pet's behavior. Both humane and effective, the spray works on four out of the five senses; dogs hear it, see it, feel it, and smell it. Citronella is a unique scent that most pets don't normally encounter. It's non-offensive to humans yet unusual enough to distract pets and interrupt the unwanted behavior.

Twice as effective as electric shock, the training process occurs instantaneously and without pain. Shock and ultra-sonic products attempt to reduce barking with pain. In addition to being less effective than spray, pain often increases anxiety and aggression and makes some behavior problems worse. The anti-bark dog collar can be used with any breed of dog that weighs 6 pounds or more and is at least 6 months old. It is not recommended, however, for anxiety-related barking unless specifically directed by a behavior professional.

The anti-bark dog collar system includes a 24-inch adjustable nylon collar with a quick-snap buckle; an attachable spray device with an "on/off" switch; a 3-ounce can of stain-free, hypoallergenic citronella spray; a 6-volt alkaline battery, and detailed instructions. The system carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Product Description

If you want to stop your dog's excessive barking effectively without hurting him with a shock collar, try this Gentle Spray Citronella Anti-Bark Collar. Electric shock and ultra-sonic products attempt to redirect behaviors with pain. In addition to being less effective, pain may actually increase anxiety and aggression and make some behavior problems worse. The Gentle Spray Anti-Bark Collar is a much more humane and effective nuisance barking solution, delivering a harmless burst of citronella to interrupt your dog's barking. Your dog will quickly and painlessly learn that there is a consequence for barking. He should completely assimilate to the collar within a few days. This harmless spray conditions your dog to behave properly by working on four of his five senses: he hears it, feels it, sees it and smells it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a miracle!!!, October 13, 2005

By	Alan Williams "alanwill" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Premier Spray Sense Anti Bark Collar (Misc.)

I've had my dog for almost 3 years now and I will admit he's not very social, especially to other dogs. I would always dread taking him for walks because he would just make SUCH a ruckus. He would back and scream bloody murder if even the dog was on the other side of the street. Well imagine this 6 o'clock in the morning when the whole neighborhood is asleep. I'm sure you could imagine the embarrasement. Well I got this collar last week and I swear it's been a miracle. I'm kicking myself in the a## for not buying this collar earlier.

The first time he barked, he was startled out of his mind. The second time, same reaction. The third time, he just barked once, then kept quiet once the spray went off. Now he doesn't even bark. You could tell he wants to, but just knows the consequences. Words can't explain how thrilled I am to have purchased this collar. Now I'm saving up to purchase the one with the remote. That way I can use it when I get home and he's screaching, waking up the neighborhood, and announcing my arrival.

One thing to keep in mind is that this collar does not work for high pitched screaching like my dog does when I get home. Hence the reason for buying the one with the remote. Oh, and for those wondering if it will work on your small dogs, it will. My dog is a chihuahua/pomeranian mix.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best system, February 27, 2005

By	debhuishmac - See all my reviews

This review is from: Premier Spray Sense Anti Bark Collar (Misc.)

We are very happy with the citronella bark collars. We have three dogs, all are terriers and they can get into a bark-fest. These collars have worked wonders, and are truly humane-- they work without pain. I wouldn't use one of the shock collars. They are not "humane"- they shock and they hurt! If you don't believe me, put it on your own neck and give it a try. I have seen dogs with burns on their necks from those. (As an aside, yes, I tried this citronella collar too. I let it spray me full in the face. Not pleasant, but not painful.) If you love your dog, try this method. BTW, don't buy the expensive replacement batteries here. They are a standard size and can be obtained at any Walgreens, Target, etc for around $3.

4.0 out of 5 stars very effective, but might not work for very challenging dogs, June 28, 2005

By	P. Stoika "psstoika" (Madison WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Premier Spray Sense Anti Bark Collar (Misc.)

This collar worked great for my smart and trainable long-haired German Shepherd -- effectively re-trained her barking behavior, and we quickly got to the point where she didn't need it any more. I also loaned it to a friend with a very spirited Golden Retriever, and it has worked well for their dog, although she continues to need to wear it most of the time even after a year. My mother tried it with her keeshonds, who are the most stubborn dogs I've ever met, and it really didn't work with them, even when she made adjustments for their thick fur. Of course, those dogs are pretty behaviorally challenging, and a strong shock-collar has only been moderately effective for them. So ... for a spirited but reasonably compliant dog, it has seemed to work well, but for more stubborn dogs, the barking challenge may go on and on.
