I have 2 dogs that constantly bark. One is a redbone coonhound/boxer mix and the other is a Australian Sheppard. The slightest sound from the kids upstairs will cause them to bark. If one of us pulls up to the house, they start barking as soon as we are in the driveway. I've tried the sound/buzz/zap collars and they figured out how to time it so that they can bark after the sound resets. They had gotten beyond obnoxious! Then enters this bark collar that they have had for about a month. The silence is bliss. I even gave them a chance without the collar two days ago. It lasted on the redbone coonhound/boxer mix, but the Australian Sheppard started barking in the evening which earned her the collar again. These collars are amazing!

Bought this to correct my dogs barking any time she was outside. Put this on to learning mode, and wow, almost instant results. I bought this thing just over two months ago. Im still on the original charge, and i have not turned this thing off yet. so either my dog is just afraid and is behaving or this thing worked in the beginning and she has not made an attempt to bark while outside or while kids are sleeping during nap time since initial use. rating this four stars, because i simply dont know if it works or if is simple fear of being shocked. we have a wireless inground fence and the dog does do well with that.

I have the SDC-10R and dogtra bark collars and I've never experienced a problem like this. The very first time I used it, I was trying to take it back off of my dog to work and it just shocked her out of nowhere, she was NOT barking, just mild wiggling as I unbuckled it and she screamed when it shocked her. I'm tempted to throw it away, I've never had such an unreliable bark collar.

We are in a small town that is fast becoming a large town. The neighbors are changing and new are moving in. As a result our dogs (we have 4) are constantly on alert. Construction, deliveries, and people walking are all another opportunity to Bark~ and Bark and Bark. The Nobark SBC-R is seriously the best collar we have found. The ability to program each collar for the individual dog is a game changer. The collars only affect the Dog that is Barking. No false alerts. Only correction when needed. No more law enforcement visits for noise complaints and calmer dogs all around. If you are on the fence upgrade and purchase this collar. Just a recommendation if you have more than one dog. Buy the color coded collar so each dog only gets "their" collar.
