 Works Great but Major Flaw November 11, 2008
Initially we were ecstatic over this collar. When the first burst of citronella bloomed after our dachshund cut loose barking we all cheered...it stopped him immediately. Within one day the barking was completely controlled. He even refrained from barking when the collar was turned off - he must really hate the smell of citronella. We also got a sort of two for one special...when our other dachsund barked while standing next to the one wearing the collar, it went off. It will also discharge for certain pitches of whining. Unfortunately, if you leave the unit on it burns through a battery a day. The battery is a 6V which is not easy to find and costs around $4. We are hoping that this issue is due to our having a defective unit and that it can be exchanged for one that doesn't tear through batteries. Otherwise this is an expensive training program. In addition, now that the battery keeps dying, our dog is back to barking.
 It really depends on your dogs.. and doens't work if you have a lot of dogs. November 6, 2008
I got this for my 4 dogs. I have a pitbull mix who doesn't shut up once she starts, a chihuahua who is pretty much the same way and 2 shepherd mixes who usually start the barking but are over it within a couple of seconds. Well.. aside from them setting of each other collars (which doesn't teach them anything) it did help the Chihuahua a little bit. The AVID barker got used to it and wouldn't care. She would empty the spray holder within 30 seconds of barking and then it would become useless.
If you have 1 or 2 dogs who are easily distracted from barking (you making noise or yelling makes them stop) then this should work. If you dog totally zones out when they're barking, this probably won't work. Also, if you have 4 dogs like me and they all bark at each other, it doesn't help because everyone's collars go off if they're within 2-3 feet of each other.
 worked at first October 29, 2008
This is a great product unless your dog is as determined as mine! My little Shih-tzu was quite shocked by this when he first had it on. (Quite amusing to watch!) The first few days it worked great, but then he just decided to bark through it after he realized it was annoying but not harmful! But it was worth a shot over the anti-barking alternatives.
Barking collar not quite as good as advertised October 28, 2008
This product is wonderful when it works. The package includes a battery and cylinder of citrenella. The battery I received did not work. I spent $6.99 for a new battery at a pet store. The provider promised to send a new one, but it never arrived. The cylinder of cintenella soon runs out because the device will not work unless there is a full amount of citrinella in the chamber. (It takes much more than the recommended 20 seconds to fill the chamber). Too soon, the citrenella needs to be replenished. All in all, if the collar is working, it works well.
 Does not work October 24, 2008
I bought this about a year ago-I paid more than what is is selling for now. It worked at first until my dog figured out how to empty the reservoir within about 10 seconds of barking.
The cost of the spray to refill it is ridiculous-I have spent about $100 in a year on refills-and the battery life is poor-even though I always turned it off when it wasn't on my dog.
I also used the methods they suggested to train her-it just didn't work.
I figure between the cost of the collar, refill spray, and batteries I have dropped close to $175 on this for nothing. Now the collar will not even spray at all.
If it works for your dog that's great. I have a German Shepherd and maybe dogs like that who are very smart and very protective of their territory don't respond well to this type of collar.
I now have to try and find another type of collar that will control her barking-more $$.
