"You need to understand that i was the most anti-bark collar person in the world, everyone told me to use this but i said no he will learn one day to stop when i say stop. After running with my pup one day he went after a bike rider and pulled me down-that was it, i got online and got it in the mail less than four days... THIS WORKS now on walks when dogs or people go by he does nothing sometimes he even sits and waits for them to pass .! The first day you will feel really bad and you will not want to leave your dogs side. The collar will warn your dog and after a couple days he will learn to only bark twice before he is "punished" and then not at all. They will learn and they will not be mad at you :) i promise. Everytime my dog is "punished" he runs to my side as if hes saying sorry. He doesnt run away from you and hide. ( i guess that really depends on your dog though )
You need to at least try it, sometimes the collar does go to the side but everything isnt perfect. The collar goes off from your dogs vocal cords-so keep it right in the middle of Her/His neck under his/her chin. If walks are the hard part for you-keep it a little tight on walks and then when you get home give him/Her a little more wiggle room. - you can get your money back its worth a try! i know i will NEVER return this item.thank you to all the reviews- you are what made me decide to buy this collar. Best 80.00 for sure! :)"
