Effective and Easy to Use
This is a simple, effective collar that helps curb obsessive barking. I have a corgi mix that barks at almost everything, even cars driving down the road. As a remote worker, I need quiet in my house during the day. This collar responds immediately to barking; it fits well and is adjustable. It responds to a full bark, but can be spotty if he growls. So far, it’s been very durable (he lives on a farm) and has had no issues. The charger is unique, which is my only challenge (not a universal charging port) but it holds a battery for a long time (days). Overall great purchase for the price.

Works wonders!
This bark collar has worked wonders with our dog. It has helped control her barking and has even helped cut back on one of her unwanted behaviors. The beep and vibrate was enough on its own to assist in her training. The collar charges quickly and holds a charge for 3-4 days. It is easy to program and the program stays set even if the collar completely dies. This is a great quality product! We’re very happy with our purchase.

Cheap, but effective bark collar
Easy to use and set up. Remote is super convenient, but auto function works great. Only took our dog a few times to realize he didn’t want the collar to vibrate.

Almost Perfect!
Overall, we've really seen good benefits from using this collar. It's easy to adjust the modes and use appropriate correction for your dog. We really just need the beep and sometimes vibration, so we haven't tested the shock feature much and have it on the lowest settings. When we tested it on our own hands, the lowest settings of shock seemed fine, but again we haven't used it on our dog.The only issue with have is that sometimes when our dog barks it beeps and he quits down, but it will keep beeping and vibrating four or five times in a row even when he's silent. Then other times, he'll bark and it only beeps and vibrates once. That's really the only issue we've had with it. Other than that it keeps a charge for a while, it's easy to use, and it doesn't seem to irritate our dogs skin (he doesn't have a ton of fur so that's a really important feature for us).

Works Great! Does The Trick.
Easy to set up and get going. Works great. My dog took right to it and learned quickly what the vibration and beep means. Love that it’s easy to recharge and has a remote.

AWESOME training collar!!
Let me start off by saying, I was VERY hesitant to use a collar like this. I did not want to cause pain to my dog but I felt I was running out of options. I did a lot of research on the type of collar I was looking for and with this collar I found just that!The collar itself comes in a nice design, with a digital, easy to read screen. The collar is adjustable to fit any size of dog and you can snip the remain strap to fit as needed. It also has a nice reflective strip on it to help with safety for the dog. The instructions recommend you take the collar off as to not cause any sores, but I haven't seen any issues keeping it on longer at times.The digital screen makes it easy to read what setting you are on. This collar comes with a beep, vibrate, and shock setting, all adjustable. There's also the option to have it in an AUTO mode, where you set it beforehand and it is triggered by the barking severity you have selected. The remote is also useful if you are wanting to switch through modes while training. For my pup, who is deaf and partially blind, unfortunately the vibrate and beep options do not work for her. However, the beep before the shock let's me know it is working and/or on. It does time out to save battery life of it has not been activated after a couple of minutes. This causes almost a lag effect when it kicks back on. Although I use the shock option, it is not actually hurting my dog when it goes off. It is more a warning to not do it and I think she mostly finds it annoying.Overall, I have seen a significant change in my dog's behaviors. She barks less and can even anticipate that it'll go off. When she is in her kennel she has almost completely stopped barking. At first there was a bit of a learning curve, to make sure it was correctly placed on her and through her fur. I learned that if it is not touching her skin, it is useless. I will say, the instructions could have been a bit more detailed in how to fit it correctly to the dog, but we figured it out! I am very happy and will continue to use! 10/10 would recommend and/or purchase again!

Update training AUTO vs MANUAL
Updating my review after using it for about 2 months. Really good collar, among 3 different ecollars I purchased this one was definitely the best by far, the only con is that I find the battery life too short. Generally it lasts about 2.5 days from full charge. Manual use is far more effective than auto use.(KINDA REALLY LONG review, but read till the end if you want to know my full process with using the collar)I had brought this ecollar after much consideration since pure positive reinforcement and other training techniques/tools were not making any progress after 3 years. I have watched many different dog trainers prior, to learn how to correctly use the ecollar. My dog is 12lbs and her breed is prone to being highly vocal, but on top of that she is highly reactive to dogs. I want to enrich my dogs life by being able to take her with me to many places but being as reactive as she is I am unable to so as its highly stressful for both her and me even for just our daily walks.At first I had used this collar on auto mode, which works well, however in terms of reactive training perhaps is not as effective as manual use. Obviously you can't expect the collar to train your dog for you and I never expected that, but I just preferred to stay hands free and didn't expect a difference from manual use vs auto. I would have still trained her the same way, giving treats when she didn't bark or stopped barking, no matter the mode. However there is BIG DIFFERENCE, the reason for this is that AUTO only sets off when the dog barks, and the BEEP always is the first response, before its followed by vibrate/shock, often these few seconds are too long and by the time it finally gets to the vibrate/shock my dog is already barking again and likely has already passed her threshold which renders the collar ineffective. It did not matter whether I had the vibrate on the highest setting or I had switched the shock feature (lvl 1/2 I had tested both lvls on myself first, not painful, just a slight tingle), she was so far past her threshold she DID NOT feel it. It was then that I took a break from the ecollar, so she forgot about it before I re-tried again, this time MANUALLY using it. And it gave RESULTS FAR FASTER. Because now you can remind the dog BEFORE they cross their threshold. But I do have to mention that bc both vibrate feature and lvl shock 1/2 were not effective at all I did move up to lvl 3, which she did feel. Honestly I felt horrible and in hindsight I should have tried vibrate again bc now that I was manually using it I was able to deal with her before she crossed her threshold... But no matter it happened and it did finally drive in the message, I have not used the shock feature since, and only used vibrate on low, once since. Now she just listens to my verbal command (I have always paired with a verbal command when using the collar) and knows not that there is no need to bark. Currently I'm still putting the collar on her during our walks even though I have not needed to use the collar bc I don't want to lose any progress we made and it does take about 8 weeks for new behaviours to stick. But she's doing extremely well now, we can calmly walk past dogs on the same side of the sidewalk, we can also walk past other reactive dogs, we can also walk past dogs she previously hated with her whole being, with no problem.BACKGROUND on her reactiveness , it stems from a traumatic experience with dogs as a young puppy. So when she barked aggressively it was to keep other dogs away to protect herself. I have tried to desensitize her to dogs from a distance but the thing is, bc she's short I realized she can't even see the dog from a distance and when I moved closer she was just past her threshold. It was just difficult to desensitize her like this bc I felt like I wasn't teaching her that being around other dogs are okay just that I'm trying to distract her with treats when there's other dogs. But using this collar she can walk past dogs calmly and realize that these other dogs aren't out to get her, and that even if she doesn't bark everything will still be okay.

3rd time purchasing
As mentioned in my title this is my third time purchasing this product in a different color. Works really well. You can turn any of the features off. For instance if you don't want to use shock at all it can be set at zero. Very responsive. Work so well that I had to my sister a collar as well. This was the answer to my toy poodle's excessive barking when we aren't home problem... I have it on auto with sound and vibration only. Works like a charm and he's not scared of the collar. Is anything, When I take it. Take it off he tries to get me to put it back on.Edit:5 stars to 3. Love the collar still. Quality is great. The only issue is THE CHARGER! it seems to be lower quality as two of mine broke and I'm down to 1. I don't do anything really with them so it's surprising it just stops connecting. I have been looking online for replacements and it's seriously so hard to find. If the one I have breaks not sure what I'll do with the collar.Disappointed in parts replacement but again collar and remote is great. Stays charged for a couple days.Second edit!Back to 5 stars. I contacted the manufacturer and through Amazon chat and they responded within a day so fast. They ended up sending me a new charger and it showed up at my home literally the next day.Amazed at their customer service and product. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

Solved my dogs barking!
Bought this for my small dog to stop his barking at every noise outside of the house. Upon opening I decided to test it out on myself. The shock setting has a few different levels so i wanted to see how bad they were and to make sure it works. One thing i liked was when the collar was triggered from sound it would beep, vibrate and then shock right after. Now this first test i will admit was difficult to watch. He barked, the collar triggered and he yelped, which then triggered the collar again and it just kept repeating. I had to run over and take the collar off. My dog was quite shook up but at that time I didn’t realize that there was also a noise sensitivity setting also. If that setting were lower then the collar probably wouldn’t have kept shocking after each yelp. But almost instantly he stopped barking. After that little scare i turned the shock setting off and left the beep and vibrate on. After a couple more barks and that collar beeping and vibrating he clued into it very quickly. Hes only been shocked that 1 day and hasn’t barked hardly at all ever since. Its definitely worth the price and it definitely works! Just be mentally prepared for that first test. Another feature i like is the wireless remote that you can manually (vibrate, beep, or shock) for other training purposes. The battery lasts about 6 days give or take. I plug it in overnight and put the collar back on the next morning. Overall happy with it!

Easiest way to train your pup/dog
I was very skeptical about getting a shock collar for my 9 month old pup. In the front of our house we are close to road, and she heard young children while we were out in the backyard..big backyard..and she darted and ran too fast for anyone to catch her to the front yard. She ran at least 3 times in excitement onto the road. She would not listen to my commands and was totally out of control. My son suggested we get a shock collar because he used one to train his big St Bernard. I reluctantly ordered this one. I put it on and out we went to be trained. We had 2 fifteen minute training sessions of bringing her close to places I did not want her to go. I only had to use it 3 times on a low shock setting and she now listens and does not misbehave. I do put it on every time we are out and I only have to use the sound button as a warner and immediately she listens. The best thing to actually let us both enjoy being outside and playing. Without she would wonder all around the back yard and not even pay attention to the ball playing, she would run off under the steel fence and into the neighboring school fence and off into the back bushes. It is vey much a life saver, without I was only letting her out on a long leash even with me..that is not a life for a dog. Good product, does what it says and as pet friendly as it can be...I love the warning sounds and vibration mode...animals are smart and now there is no need to shock her...which I hated doing. This product is easy to charge and battery life is long.

Great product for barker with thicker hair
Bark collar arrived fast and as described. Easy to operate. I was worried it would not work as our dog has a thicker coat. She is Great Pyrenees- Akita cross but it does. I like the auto function as she barks when outside alone. Still working on getting settings right but very easy and love the various levels and options.Only con so far is that the collar does not hold charge as long as the receiver. However easy to recharge and fast.Have not tested the water resistance.
