PetSafe Spray Bark Dog Collar, Automatic No Bark Device for Dogs 8 lb. and Up - Rechargeable and Water-Resistant – Includes Citronella and Unscented Spray Refills & USB Charging Cable, Navy

I adopted a 4 year old dog and he came to me with leash reactivity. I only adopt shelter dogs so I'm used to working with behaviors but I just couldn't stop him from freaking out (barking, growling, lunching) while walking and in the house when he hears a noise. . He's better off leash but still chases people, bikes and dogs. He also barks when my airbnb guests walk around upstairs.We start classes next week but I was going crazy and dreading my daily walks. (I also have another rescue who was not happy with this.) Enter a friend who recommended this product and brands. I was tempted to buy a cheaper product but felt that it works for my friend's dog after spending $$$ on training that I should give the product a chance. She even said that after a while she no longer has to even turn it one just put the collar on the dog. The one mistake I made was my first use, I forgot to turn the actual devise on. DUH.It is worth every penny. As I write this, my Airbnb guests just left. Not even a peep, Still sitting at my legs quietly.I will come back in a month or so to update.

Unfortunaltey I have to give it 1 star. I had previously used this bark dollar years ago and it east awesome. Since the changed the design I am sorry to say it SUCKS. I think it sprayed maybe 10 times and it was empty. The cartridge is extremely small and not refillable. It did not always worked.There old design was So much better. Not sure why they changed it. It the old design worked so much bettet. My sister in law also purchased the same one same issues but luckily purchased it at petsmart and she was able to return hers. I am SOL because amazon won't take it back. I will very contact the company but not assuming they probably will not for anything to help me.DO NOT BUY THIS. It sucks.

Got this for my 45lb dog who barks way too much whenever people are coming and going. Vibration collars don't bother him and the ultrasonic device we tried seemed to make him and my other dog anxious, so we decided to give this spray collar a try. It's ok, and we'll stick with it for now, but it's definitely not perfect. We've been using it for about a month and here are my thoughts so far:-It's bulky and would probably be too big and heavy for a small dog under 25lbs or so. The part that sprays also always ends up rotating to the side instead of under his chin.-It's like 75% accurate at detecting and spraying when he barks. Sometimes it will spray when he yawns or shakes his head, and sometimes he'll bark and it won't spray. I'm not sure if this is because it rotates to the side or if the collar just isn't super accurate to begin with. So far this hasn't been a huge issue because it's accurate enough, but it definitely could be better.-The cartridges are TINY and have to be replaced often. The first couple days, we went through a cartridge every day or so. It's expensive, and it's also annoying when they run out and we wake up to him barking in the middle of the night. My dog's barking has decreased somewhat, so we're using fewer sprays than we were in the beginning, but still going through about 2 cartridges a week.Overall I'm not wildly impressed but I'm going to give it another month or two. My dog still barks but not as much, even when he's not wearing the collar, so it has helped a little bit.

Wish I could give this product 10 stars. This bark collar totally changed my experience driving in the car with my dog. He used to be extremely overexcited and overstimulated in the car - nonstop piercing barking, pacing back and forth from window to window in the back seat, lunging at passing trucks, foamy bark spit everywhere. It was not just stressful but also distracting and dangerous. I found myself not wanting to take him places because being in the car with him was so miserable. This product was recommended to me by my professional dog trainer. It was night and day. The first time he wore it, he got 3 corrections in the span of about 20 minutes. The second wear, maybe 1 or 2. After about a week of wear (in the car almost every day), he is getting 1 or no corrections. He’s not just stopped barking, he is actually calmer. No more pacing, no lunging. He does still whine a bit but that does not set it off. I am hopeful that with continued training and time in the car, he may not even need to wear it eventually or maybe at least not have it turned on. I think it is important to mention that mine was not a case of anxiety in the car, it was excitement. He wasn’t a dog that hated to get in the car or was fearful, he was a dog that couldn’t wait to get in the car. He is not a reactive dog. I am not sure this would be the right tool for excessive barking due to anxiety/car anxiety - recommend consulting a professional if that is the case. Also consider that good training will help you get the most out of this device. Dog should sit/be calm before entering the car, reward when calm/quiet, start with short drives and build up endurance, etc. I am truly grateful for this product because now I don’t hesitate for a second about bringing my dog places, so he can accompany me and enjoy many adventures throughout his life!
