Bought this two weeks ago and my Goldendoodle has worn it on our daily walks. It worked great when she started to bark at a dog but it also goes off when my dog shakes, scratches, rolls on the ground and when she does her cute talking sounds when she's happy. Unfortunately, i plan on returning this bark collar which i had great hopes that it would work only when she barks. I feel like i'm torturing her when she does her other mentioned normal dog noises.

The collar works very well for us. Our English Cocker Spaniel had developed the odd habit of barking and throwing himself against the sides of his soft travel crate, whenever we turned into a parking lot, or entered a drive through, or spoke to anyone outside of the car. He appears to love to ride, and did not display this behavior for the first 18 months of his life. We were baffled. We purchased this collar, and put it on him when he enters the car. The problem is solved. He barks once, the collar emits a hiss, and he stops any further barking. It does take a little effort to ensure his neck hair does not impede the collar function, but otherwise it works very well for us.

I bought this a couple days ago and the first use went very well, it worked as it should and was very effective. However, since then it has gone off several times while walking, squatting to pee and while minimally whining. Maybe the one I got is defective?

It definitely works to stop my dogs barking. She is very scared by the noise and doesn't seem to understand where it is coming from. She hovers near me worried after it goes off. Because she seems so scared I hesitate to leave it on her when I am not home. I would like her to wear it at night because she will sometimes wake the whole house barking if she hears something outside. But this collar has a bright flashing green power button that looks like a strobe light at night and we can't sleep with it on (she sleeps in our room).

I bought this collar for my 4 year old dog, Luna, who has always been highly reactive to other dogs, especially while on leash. We recently adopted a second dog and while walking them, Luna saw another dog, started barking and lunged toward the dog right in front of me, tripping me making me fall face forward onto my other dog and the pavement. I had no choice but to fix this situation and training techniques had not been working. I was skeptical when I bought the PetSafe Audible Bark Collar but was desperate for anything that could help and I did not want to use a shock collar. It immediately startled Luna and made her stop barking and being reactive. It took her a week or so to fully stop barking with it on. Now, even if the collar is turned off, she restrains herself from barking just knowing it might make the spraying noise. Now she is much more manageable on walks. I felt like crying after walking both dogs tonight because we passed two dogs and Luna, with PetSafe collar on, did not make a sound. I use it only while walking her and while she rides in the car and it has been very effective. I do use treat distraction and a harness too. My only complaint about PetSafe is how loud it is when turning it on and off. My dog is startled by beeping sounds so it scares her away whenever I turn it on or off. I wish there was a way to silence this sound. I have just been leaving it turned on 24/7 and the battery is lasting a long time. Overall this product has made our walks much safer, more calm and much more enjoyable. PetSafe is great because it automatically alarms with the spraying sound immediately instead of the owner having to push a button to alert the dog, it is instant. Well done PetSafe, you have really helped me and my dogs! Thank you!

My dog got used to the hissing noise very quickly and it doesn't stop her from barking at all. Now there is just a loud hissing noise added to her loud barking :( would return if I could.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great bark collar, works as it should. I would recommend.

I like that it is rechargeable, saves on battery costs. Just began using the collar, our Chocolate Lab responds to the tone and snaps out of her barking episodes briefly. We are adding in behavior modification routines to reinforce the collar's tone as suggested. Happy with the results so far.
