"These collars saved my dogs"

My two Pekingese were driving my wife nuts. She could not let them outside without them barking at anything that moved beyond the fence. They would also bark like mad when any shadow came across the front door. My wife was ready to give the dogs to anyone that would take them. I was a bit skeptical about the collars and thought they would be inhumane. Turns out they are the opposite.
I followed the instructions and fit the collars, letting the dogs wear them a day without the battery installed. The following day I put the batteries in. The first few times the dogs barked like mad, seemingly getting the collars to the higher correction settings. They would yelp when the correction came. Not a painful yelp, but a shocked "what was that?" yelp. They quickly figured it out and have become much better dogs. Since they do not bark themselves into a frenzy, they are quicker to calm down and better behaved when excited. It has been about two weeks and we still keep the collars on during the day even though the dogs bark much less even without the collars on. (They have figured out they can each get one bark in before being corrected. One bark compared to 15 minutes of incessant barking is heaven to me, and one bark to know someone is coming to the house is a nice thing from a dog.) The warning tone is a very nice feature, as it quickly reminds the dogs when they are about to be corrected. I don't think the dogs have been corrected in a week beyond the tone.
If you are worried about your dogs being hurt by this collar, don't be. My Pekes are ~13 pounds each. The correction startles them, but doesn't hurt. I inspect their necks daily, and there is no evidence of too much rubbing from the probes. Follow the directions for fitting the collars and you will be happy with the results.

I was really nervous about getting a "shock collar" but this has been wonderful. My puppy is 30 lbs and barks at nothing, waking up neighbors and driving me crazy. She learned very quickly not to bark when the collar is on her but she isnt afraid of it or anything when i put it on. The only negative is that the collar is too big - i had to rig it so it would fit properly.

From the moment i put the collar on it started to work, the dog tested it and got the first shock then she tried it again and she figured out what it was for. Now she whimpers real low to avoid the shock but no bark it works great.

Our puppy responded very quickly to this training product! We bought this for my 7 month old mini Goldendoodle. She was getting into a habit of incessantly barking in our back yard at people and pets walking by. I began to think she liked to hear herself bark. We bought the collar after trying to correct her in multiple ways verbally. I put the collar on the first morning, while I could be with her for only a couple hours. I saw it correct her a couple times and she stopped barking after the about two barks. (I think it needed to get a strong enough shock for her to notice it). I took it off and did not apply it again for a day or two, again when I could be there with her. That day she was barking more in multiple succession and by the forth-fifth bark she can running in the house to me looking distressed, but quiet! I have to say though, I did not feel the need to put it on her again. From then on when we said "no bark" she came running in the house and was quiet. She has only barked a few times for only 2-3 barks at a time. She responds quickly to our commands. We felt we could not have asked for better results from this product.
Our dog also has shaggy hair and the collar worked through her fur no problem. I just put in on her again today after at least a month as a reminder because she was barking more again past couple days. As soon as I put it on she did not bark again. I think she knows what it means!
I own several types of correction and bark collars. Having 4 dogs increases the pack mentality and provides them with the excuse of "he's doing it" to undermine past training. They simply like to bark when ever one of us comes home, someone comes over, or if they see a dog on the street.
Simply put the collars work. The dogs are also aware when they are wearing the collars so its kind of a catch. They tend not to bark when wearing the collars, even with out the battery, but still bark when not wearing them. They would probably be more effective if left on longer, but someone else in the family keeps removing them ;)
The collar material is braided nylon and of good quality. I do like the quick release. However this design is suited for one size dog at a time, meaning it is slow to adjust. I have another PetSafe Bark Collar that has a buckle and a quick release which makes it easy to adjust the size when moving to different dogs. However that design uses a plastic collar that extends the collar out to the sides of the bark device, making it appear to big for small dogs. The only other gripe I have about this PBC-102 collar is determing the battery life. Other collars blink when the battery is strong, no blink = dead battery. The PBC-102 doesn't blink with a fresh battery, so you are not sure about the battery life. We just leave a quarter where we store the collars and simply remove the battery when not in use. I do like the battery design.
So if you are looking for an inexpensive bark collar that will fit all sizes of dogs, and you don't plan on moving it between different neck sizes, then this is a good functional device.
"REALLY WORKS"

I bought two of these collars for my MinPins that were answering our neighbors barking dogs. They stopped the nuisance barking by the second day. Now both dogs will stand at the fence when the other dogs are raising hell, but do not answer their barking.
These collars will not stop a protective or warning bark (which I didn't want to stop) and the best feature is one dogs bark will not activate the others collar.
I think I will be able to stop putting them on after a week or two and just use them as a periodic reminder if needed.
Amazon shipped free and FAST as usual.
