 Spray Bark Collar July 21, 2008
The collar doesn't seem to work for small dogs with high pitched barks. When I put the collar on my small dog, it seemed to work when she growled; however when she barks it does not work. Unfortunately to teach a dog not to bark the collar needs to be consistent with the behavior.
 It does what it is supposed to July 17, 2008
In as much as this collar does what it is supposed to, that is, it sprays citronella when the dog barks, I gave it three stars. However, it hasn't really taught my dog anything about barking. When he wears the collar it does encourage him to bark less but as soon as the collar is off he barks as much as ever. I was hoping it would eventually help teach my dog not to bark even when not wearing it but that doesn't seem to be happening.
 Effective, but clunky. July 17, 2008
First I will declare it does work well; it has reduced my Pomeranians barking easily by 75%. Once the dog conditioned himself to recognize the collar, just puttting it on him he begins to curb his behavior. Like the literature states, if the barking is anxiety-based, this collar will not work for you. Our dog is 6 lbs, which is the bottom size limit per the advertised design and it's correct; this collar is unwieldly for small dogs due to the resevoir design. The module is spartan, it is a simple cube design and should have had a design that is smoother with rounded corners. The design from an ergonomic perspective is basic and simpleton; clearly there was not much thought put into it. I am satisfied with its performance and have not noticed any problems with the citrus agent; no residue noted on furniture and my dog doesn't smell like an orange. You will detect citrus smell when it does actuate. Be careful when holding the dog close if he is wearing it, you will get sprayed if he barks. The design has the module sagging at 30 degrees upwards under the dogs jaw/nose area, so whatever is directly infront of the dog will get misted. You can't prevent the sagging, it would require the collar to be dangerously tight. Definitely a more humane collar than shocking. I gave it only 4 stars because of the box design; functionality, it gets 5 stars.
 Works very well even on small dogs July 15, 2008
This collar has worked very well on our 5.5 lb chihuahua. She was quite a barker when out in the yard, but with this collar on she is a model citizen. While we don't leave this on her for very long periods of time (it is a bit heavy on her neck) it is really effective for short stints out into the yard to go potty. Great product! And I'm sure the neighbors appreciate it...
It really works!! July 13, 2008
Similar products sell for triple the price at the big pet stores, so I was worried these would be too good to be true. I also wasn't sure that anything would deter my 2-yr-old Yorkies from barking their heads off.
First good sign: the collars arrived promptly!
Second good sign: they appear to be genuine brand-name collars!
Third good sign: they spray when tested!
Now to try them on the doggies!
The spray box looks kind of large on these little dogs, but it doesn't weigh much and it doesn't seem to inconvenience them any.
We put a collar on the more-barky of the two dogs, and left the other unopened for now. Then we knocked on the front door. As soon as they barked, the collar sprayed! BOTH DOGS IMMEDIATELY STOPPED BARKING!!!! To say they were very surprised would be an understatement!
We knocked again with the same result! We did it a third time and they didn't bark at all!
When we went out, we took the collar off the dog but left it on top of their crate. When we came home, they didn't bark!
It's only the second day, and even without using the collar, barking is much less! When we put the collar on, there is silence! This product can change your life! Buy now!
