 They worked. January 4, 2007
It may not work for all dogs, but it worked on mine. They were barking at every little noise, people walking down the street 30 yards away from the living room window, and overwhelming company. Just two days of "good", "quiet" praise, and lots of hugs and petting in conjunction with the collars and they behave wonderfully, only making small "woofs" and lots of low level "talking". They've found their "inside" voice!
 PREMIER GENTLE SPRAY ANTI-BARK DOG COLLAR January 3, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wow --- we have been using Premier Gentle Spray Anti-Bark Dog Collars on our pups going now on about two to three years. The current Collars with an on/off switch seem to be substantially more reliable; we only need to replace batteries which are easily obtainable; we have not needed to replace the unit itself. We find the Collar, of course, works best when it stays filled with the Citronella Spray, so we check the collar and refill it more than once a day. Our pup still barks with this Collar on which is great --- we still have a great watch dog, but this Collar has pretty much stopped seemingly unnecessary nuissance barking. When we take the Collar off to refill the Citronella spray, we bark through the Unit to check battery life --- this has become an important habit for us --- so, we know our pup is wearing a Collar fully ready to handle that next barking opportunity. --- Our 4-star rating simply affirms that yes, one of our pups, who has since gone on to dog heaven, at the ripe young age of 18, decided if he would bark long enough at one stretch, the citronella spray unit would become empty, then he could bark with no citronella spray outbursts --- this is true, unless one tailgates such a pup with a Citronella Spray canister in hand continuously. However, other reviewers have had one or both of these experiences, too. Not everything is all ways perfect. --- We, however, are pleased with our Premier Gentle Spray Anti-Bark Dog Collar on our watchpup and its overall performance, easy refill and easy battery replacement. --- And, ordering this Premier Gentle Spray Anti-Bark Dog Collar, and the Premier Citronella Refill canisters, and the Premier replacement batteries, from Amazon.com, offers VERY competitive pricing, and so far, protectively packaged timely shipments.
Excellent alternative to shock collars November 11, 2006

I have an old beagle who decided in her dotage that she would bark when ever she didn't get her way, she was becoming intolerable, barking at all hours of the night, disturbing everyone around. She is extremely fragile, with a heart condition, and I felt a shock collar could kill her. I will admit I was very skeptical about this spray collar but I was desperate, anyone who has owned a beagle will know that they are difficult at best to train.br / So I tried the collar, and I am very happy to report it works, Tallys barking has returned to its normal level,br /which was infrequent, it happened quickly, within a few days, we followed the directions on the box, which are very important, and had good results. I can't promise this will work for every dog, but it worked well for ours,without resorting to shocks. I don't think you can just hang this collar on your dog and expect it to work, although I do ocassionaly with Tally to refresh her training, I feel it is very important to do the training outlined in the instructions, and you will get results fairly quickly. I am quite satisfied with this product.
 Doesn't keep my yappy Cairn from barking... November 9, 2006

He just looks away from where the spray emits--and barks again!br /br /It also doesn't work 100% of the time...and we're not sure why. When we fill it, it seems to work fairly well right after but it either does not have as many sprays as it is supposed to, or it isn't working very long.br /br /It does work well for my other small dog who is not such a persistent barker. Terriers are just too stubborn to care if they're getting sprayed, I guess.br /br /

The Premier collar was the best solution to help my dog restrain from barking without any injury to him!! He learned within a few days while on walks to stop barking at other dogs, when wearing the collar. I didn't want to use the shock method, but my groomer told me about the Premier Citronella collar to aid in his training. We got good results!!
