 No good for double-coated breeds -- eg, Keeshond or Samoyed August 14, 2008
I had high hopes for this, as my keeshond is extremely vocal, but was simply unable to get it to deliver any kind of shock at all through his hair. He does have a particularly thick coat, but I tried parting it under the unit, and pulling the collar very very tight, but still nothing. Just in case it was the dog and not the hair, I tried it on a Samoyed, with much less of a ruff, but it didn't work on her either. I called the company, and they suggested shaving his neck, but I don't think they appreciated just what this would mean. Anyway, if anyone can recommend any way of keeping a keeshond quiet, please let me know.
 The dog barks no more... August 11, 2008
I have a 1 year old pitbull, who is very smart, playful, and obedient. However, he had a serious barking problem. Basically, every time he was let outside, he would run up to a tree and start barking at it. If the brids chirped, he would bark. If the wind blew a certain way, he would bark. If the neighbors little dog was outside, he would bark at it. Motorcycles or loud noises, more barks. He would even bark at the smoke coming off of the grill! And not just one or two barks, but loud, incessant, annoying barking. He would stop when told to, but then would return to his barking ways in about 30 seconds. I was hesitant to get the shock collar, because i wanted to try to remedy the problem in a more natural way, but i just couldn't stop the barking. But now I am happy to say that the collar worked even better then I could have hoped. In the week I've had it, the dog has barked maybe 10 times, down from about the usual 500 or so. The dog learned very fast not to bark, and now he doesn't even need to be wearing it and still wont bark as much. He doesn't run around the backyard in a total state of mayhem anymore, ready to bark up a storm at any bird, fly, or gust of wind, which is just fine with me. I'd reccommend this to anyone who had the same problem that I had.
 this collar works August 7, 2008
this collar works great. I have a dog that barks & will not stops untill you play w/ him, this drove me & my family nuts. When my family saw the collar they were very sceptice that it would hirt the dog, but after reading the booklet that came with it i asurred them it was human. Will it worked , now when he gets wond-up and wont lisson to comands & he even see the collar in my hane , he backs bown. he still basrks without it , but it works when it's on.
Very Good June 30, 2008
I purchased these collars for my 2 Jack Russell Terriers who loved to bark at any animal late at night or at 4:30 in the morning. After receiving unsigned letters from my neighbor, I purchased the collars. Jacks are extremely smart dogs and it did not take them long to learn what happened when they barked. I am extremely pleased with the result as they have controlled their barking when not wearing the collar.

works as advertised.turned a dog who barked at almost any living thing into one who stopped barking after 1 or 2 mild shocks.
