To Whoof or not to whoof that is the question
This is a must have if you live within the city limits have fussy or close neighbors in proximity to your yard or have a strict home owners association that prohibits excessive dog barking. I am a lab breeder and own 3 of these units. I am very pleased with the performance and function of this product because it stops "nuisance barking" by administering a minimal buzz that gradually gets stronger the longer the dog barks the lowest setting delivers your common "prankster hand buzzer" volt. And if your too squeamish about buzzing your dog there is a "lemon spray" version of this exact brand that also works well too. Instead of delivering a buzz it puffs a lemon deterant near the snout. For more stubborn dogs the buzzer seems to work better. In no way is this harmful to your dog but rather more humane discipline than verbal or physical correction by you the owner. I believe all dogs are pleasers and want you to be happy with them. If your dog doesn't have a bark collar most people tend to over correct or not be completely steady in the level of correction being a swat on the hind end hopefully nothing more abusive or other methods. The end result is your dog barks when your not around. That's why these collars work so well it adjusts and corrects only as needed and with as little force as needed and will never over correct or over punish like we humans sometimes do when we're angry or sleep deprived due to a BARKING DOG!!!! By using this bark collar the dog in a sence is making a choice whether or not it wants to continue barking incesantly which is a much better training technique. This collar will still allow them to bark don't get me wrong but the ongoing nuisance barking will cease. These collars work great and allow more opportunities for us to reward the dogs for good behavior instead of correcting them for barking constantly. You'll love your dog more and he'll love you more too by being a good owner and keeping everyone happy. I would definitely buy more of this brand if my other units get damaged somehow.More detail ...
