Good
These collars are great but do not hold up if accidentally left in the rain. Make sure if it’s raining to take the collar off of your dog before letting them out to potty. There’s a vibrate mode and a shock mode. Once on shock and we are able to leave it on vibrate or off all together on our pups and it’s like a placebo effect. Keeps our dogs from incessantly barking and aggravating the neighbors

Low Price option Effective for training
The collar is lighter than expected and fairly compact. There are 2 modes, Beep+Vibrate only. Then Beep and vibrate into escalating shocks for continued barking. I've used static collars for years as a perimeter fence with excellent results. This is my first time trying a no-bark collar. Often times, the Beep! is enough to get my dog's attention and stop the barking. If my dog gets shocked with continued barking, it does stop barking, but I can tell he's a little confused thinking the shock was because he is too far away from the house. I suspect he will figure out the difference with training and time. I will say the initial level 1 shock seems to be more aggressive than level 1 of my popular brand perimeter collar. I wonder how strong level 7 is? My dog has never gotten anything but level 1 as the barking does stop.Multiple barks within 30 seconds trigger escalating correction. The first being a Beep, second Beep+vibrate and 3-7 being increasing static correction. This works well for my Lhasa Apso who likes to bark-bark-bark. But my beagle lets out an occasional loud howl more than 30 seconds apart. This means she is unlikely to receive the corrective shock. However, the beep does seem to stop her barking - likely because she already attributes the beep/shock combo from the perimeter fence.I do find there are frequent 'false positives' when the dogs are playing - not even barking, just rolling around. Maybe the collar gets bumped triggering the beep. For this reason, I am happy the static correction needs 3 barks or triggers within 30 seconds to avoid 'false positive' static corrections. The good thing is my dogs know they are not mis-behaving while playing and mostly just stop for a second when a play-time beep occurs then get right back to it. Alternatively, they know they are being naughty while barking and react more strongly to the beep while barking. I will say that I am very consistent with my barking dogs. Every single time they bark, I immediately run out and scold them. I would not expect any corrective collar to replace a stern 'NO' and will continue to verbally correct my dog even while the collar is in use. And of course reward good behavior like stopping the barking and coming over to me for belly rubs!Overall, I am very happy with this product, especially at it's price point. I will update with a battery life review once I go through a full battery. The collar uses the uncommon 4LR44 battery, but that's what my Garage door openers use and I have plenty.

Pretty effective
they do have two models not sure how they decide if you get the older or newer so some clarification would be nice on that. the newer one is not shown in the pictures, it is slightly thinner and has 3 buttons vs the 2. It does seem to work the same as the other so no biggie there.I like the look and feel of this product. I really like the sensitivity of the bark sensor as it is able to pick up my dogs huffing (his precursor to barking) and administer corrective action before he gets barking. Though i do wish it could pick up on her whistling, gets really annoying.Not the biggest fan of the battery, as it is one of those odd sizes. They did send 2 with it so here is hoping that with it's power saving features the 1st one will last long enough to do most the training and the 2nd one will cement it.All in all very happy so far. Only thing I'd change so far is to change it to a rechargeable battery via micro use like their remote training collars. Maybe make it water proof too.

Sanity Saving and Humane Technology
I have a German Shepard who is our problem child, and has gotten labeled by the city as a nuisance dog for barking. Our backyard shares a fence line with 8 other dogs, in a culdesac, so the barks tend to echo through the neighborhood. He would bark at all day, starting at 7 a.m., but we've resorted to letting him out just for potty breaks which has limited his excercise and love of being outdoors. I have had previous shock collars, but he would stand on the outside of the range area to run the battery out which lasted only a few hours a day. Or he was able to break the collars on others. Another one I tried would go off for other dogs barking, or if his tags clinked. He knows from the previous collars that a beep is a warning, and then he gets shocked. I do not like using shock method, so I was really excited this collar had vibrate mode, but could be used as the "static" mode as a last resort. I also like the smart feature that will increase automatically on the intensity levels, depending on his behavior. Also I find having a power saving mode, and not having to worry if I forget to charge it, like some brands make. I had company come over after him having it on for 10 minutes. I heard 1 bark when the car arrived, he did not bark for the door bell either. This was on the lowest level of vibration. He also did not bark at a neighbor plowing the culdesac on a 4 wheeler, which normally would get a reaction from him. The next day I did not hear more than 1 bark when the neighbors let out their dogs. So I'm glad it warns with a beep, enough to let us know if someone is here, but not a bark ballad like before. The collar is soft material, the component is not as big as I thought it would be from pictures, and is lightweight. It also comes with removable rubber ends on the prongs so it is more comfortable than plain metal, but can be taken off for shock mode. If you check the collar through out the day, and do not make it so tight its digging in the skin, and don't leave it on 24/7 you shouldn't have the problem of it hurting or irritating your dogs neck, but that is common sense of the owner, and not the collars fault like I've seen some people post. I even tried the modes on my hand before putting it on my dog, because I won't put anything on him I wouldn't want done to me. So far this collar has saved me from worrying about my dog being harshly reprimanded, city/ neighbor complaints, and being able to sleep in later than 6 a.m. on my day off, and being able to answer my door with scaring people. Thank you!
