My two labs are finally behaving themselves.
By JanSobieski
After four anonymous complaints from the neighbors which brought the police to our house we finally decided to do something about it. I researched the heck out of these things particularly after reading some of the horror stories in the reviews of the other collars. Short story: the dogs are finally behaving themselves.
These collars have 3 different ways to program them. One, the collar increases the shock level beginning from the lowest level when your dog starts barking and then escalates eight levels until the dog stops. It then remembers the level necessary to stop the barking and commences at this same level the next time your dog begins barking. This is the default program, but my wife and I found it too punitive.
The second program begins at the lowest level and escalates until your dog stops but reverts to the lowest level next time your dog starts barking. This is the program we use.
The third program gives him the same shock each and every time he barks. My wife and I preferred what we considered the most humane program, number 2, and it works great. The collar requires a sound and a vibration to buzz the dog which theoretically reduces false discharges.
I directly compared this to the Tritonics and the Remington, both of which worked fine. The Sportdog was rechargeable which is what ultimately sold us and it had more different ways of programming the collar for the ultimate in flexibility. The Tritonics only shocks at one level. The Remington included programs 2 and three but no escalating shock found in Sportdog's program 1. Since we don't use program 1 that would not have been a problem. The other reason we went with the Sportdog rather than the Remington is that the Remington, though theoretically just as good, is new to the market and I could find no reliable user reviews.
For our dogs, you must remember to put the collar on or the darn mutts will begin barking again. My wife wanted our dogs to continue barking while in the house for the additional security and that has been no problem.
Your dog will take some time getting used to the collar and may behave a bit neurotically until they figure out just what the heck is going on. To reduce the level of neurosis, use program 2 which gives them a chance to learn and is less punitive.
Great product! For the record, I called the manufacturer and it is waterproof.

Finally a NO Bark Collar That Works
By Cheryl Lewis
I have 3 dachshunds who bark at the least little thing. I live in a Townhouse so my neighbors are right next to me. When I let them out in the yard they immediately start barking non stop. I have tried spray bottles, other bark collars, shake a can with coins and nothing stopped my 3. Since I did not want to buy 3 at once I decided to try out one collar. So I ordered the collar and it came in 3 days. The collar is well constructed and heavy duty. I thought it was too big at first for my dachshunds that weigh 16, 13, 11 respectively.But once I got the right fitting it stayed snug on them. The strap is very long and strudy. There is so much extra strap that it curls up because it is made of a heavy vinyl material. Might cut the excess off. I tried it on the worst of the 3 Gracie. Well to my surprise after fitting it on her and using the temperment setting one bark and I saw she was startled but that was the last bark she made while the collar was on her. Two hours went by and not a peep. I think she has to get use to it because she is a little skiddish now.Does not want to go outside without me with her but I am sure after a while she will be fine. Next I tried it on Zoe. I had the same results. No barking while collar was on her. I was truly amazed. The one with the collar on did not bark while the other 2 did. I am now going to buy a second one and hope I will not need a third. Thank you Sportdog for making such a good NO Bark Collar.

Forget the rest, this is the best!
By lotsa furkids
I researched for days to make sure i purchased the best no bark collar. After all, who wants to spend 50.00 on something that may not work like you want? This collar is worth every penny! I have a barky 2 year old german shepherd. I put this collar on her and one zap is all it took! she no longer barks at everything and anything! I like how this collar is rechargeable and has an indicator light for low batterys. the tree bark control settings are nice, so you can choose which one may be right for your dog. my only complaint is it has a very long bit of collar that hangs off. we had to use something to tie that down so my newfie doesnt see it as something fun to chew on. I purchased a petsafe 50.00 collar in the past and was not happy with it. This one works!
