PetSafe Spray Bark Collar - Gentle Spray Correction - Water-Resistant Collar - Adjustable Fit for Small & Large Dogs - Rechargeable Design - Includes Citronella & Unscented Refills

Bark reduction!!! This worked very fast for my Rottie & Doberman! I no longer need the use of the collar. They respond to my voice. No yelling! “No Bark!” Is all I say!!!

I didn't think this would work but I had tried everything else but IT DID!!! Almost after the first quick spray by baby realized something was different and one or two times more and he figured out that if he didn't bark, it didn't spray. Although he has figured out that if he just does a low growl it won't spray, but those are few and far between - plus I do like to know that he is on the alert for something different in the yard, etc. It was well worth the month.

We reluctantly purchased this bark collar after two months of unsuccessful positive reinforcement training (such as giving her a treat or attention when she stopped barking for a few minutes), and numerous talks with neighbors that could hear the incessant barking when our doors and windows are closed. Most were compassionate and empathized with how loud it must be in our house when they could hear it two houses down! But this seems unsustainable in the long term. We are strongly against shock collars, and even the vibration collars are worrisome due to many models having prongs. We chose this model because the unscented spray seems relatively benign. Pros: - Very large nylon strap for the collar, which should fit a wide range of dogs (my dog is a 40lbs hound, and there was much extra strapping that I needed to trim it) - Decent packaging and it works out-of-the-box due to two sample cartridges - Charges relatively quickly - Fairly straightforward set up - Consistent bark detection. After a few initial uses, it seems to be consistent in detecting and spraying for barks - Effective. I have a hound dog that likes to bark when she wants out of her kennel (such as when she sees us eating in the other room). She can bark continuously for tens of minutes or even an hour, which wasn’t allowing adequate opportunities for positive behavior reinforcement. With the collar, after one spray she stops barking and doesn’t start again, even when the collar is off. In this regard, it works! Cons (which outweigh the pros, in my opinion): - The unit I have is too sensitive - I expected this to be triggered by any level of hound dog bark, even low woofing. It appears to do that. But it also sprays for even low single whimpers. As with many dogs, she whimpers for several reasons, including when scared and urgently needing to go outside. Spraying a dog for being scared seems cruel and reinforces the need to be scared. Spraying a dog for being uncomfortable also seems cruel and risks an accident while punishing good behavior. For this reason, I would never trust this collar on her when not supervised, and I consider this a dealbreaker. - It is not supposed to be worn for NO more than 12 hours in any 24 hour period. This is to avoid the vibration sensor on the back from irritating the dog’s skin. I’m guessing this is a pretty big limitation for many users, and my initial plan was to have her always wear it but turn it on/off selectively. This isn’t an option with this collar... Bottom line: I’d give this a good rating if it could be worn continuously and didn’t respond to quiet noises.

This is the only thing that stopped my German Shepherd 1 year old from barking at everything! She is young and boisterous and barks at people and dogs from the back yard or on a walk. She ignores vibrating or shock collars totally, so was so relieved to find this. HOWEVER, the spray ran out and I didn't realize it. I replaced the spray but then the COLLAR STOPPED WORKING within about 1 month of having it. She started barking again like crazy and I couldn't figure out what was wrong because the collar tested fine. Just didn't work when she was barking (or on my other dog, or on me when I test "woofed" on it). The company was great and replaced it quickly, but i was a week without the collar, and she's as bad as ever. With the new collar, she will go through almost a whole cartridge before she stops barking (it's definitely working tho). You have to keep an eye on it and when it runs out replace IMMEDIATELY. If she gets even 1 outside visit without it, she'll figure it out now. Also the cartridges cost a lot and have only like 30 or 40 sprays. 3 for $10 and I'm going through all three in one week. I'm trying to be consistent and see if I can get the original great response back. I hope so, because the best thing about it was if she couldn't bark, she didn't get so excited at all - she stopped raising her hackles and generally was happier, and less concerned about other dogs. Also, it did not spray her when she wasn't barking, like some collars do. Not even for low woofs. I like that because I think it's important for them to be able to express themselves acceptably. I recommend it!

These are the refills for the bark collar. It sprays a little water in the face after a few loud barks, but it doesn’t shock. It helps with training and adjusting to environments.

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!

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.

It’s just so quick empty

If your dog doesn't like being sprayed with water, it 100% works, That is my dog. I just can show him the spray collar and he immediately stops barking

Mon chien réagit bien au produit qui est sans danger et ni douloureux pour lui.

We have tried a lot of anti bark collars on our two dogs and our friends suggested this one to us. We only bought one because it was very expensive so we wanted to make sure it worked first before buying another one (thank goodness we only bought one!) It was delivered late the night of May 29. We decided to give each dog a two week trial to see if it worked. We read the instructions to ensure it was put on correctly And adjusted the collar several times. Besides the collar not ceasing the barking, we actually only saw it spray ONCE! We took off the collar and held it near our dogs head and it didn’t even spray. We tried to do an online return on June 25 (27 days after it was delivered) but it stated that because it was a liquid it could not be returned. We emailed the seller, and they said it couldn’t be returned because it was past the 30 days ??? In fact we had only had the product for 27 days. TAKE MY ADVICE AND DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! Not only does it NOT work, you will lose out on that money spent and the seller does not care! If I could, I would’ve given it a ZERO star review...

Product works like a charm but the spray cartridges empty very quickly; even with a dog wearing it for brief periods and ceasing bark almost immediately. I wondered if this is normal or if my device is faulty and emailed PetSafe but got no response.
