Automatic and Rechargeable No Bark Collars




A barking dog can be a welcome sound when warning intruders but it can also be annoying at times. These replaceable/rechargeable battery self training collars help your dog learn when barking is unwanted and produce a better, happier pet. System includes a lightweight, water-resistant/waterproof collar unit, batteries/recharger, easy-to-adjust nylon buckle collar, short and long probes for varying coat lengths, complete operating instructions and a training DVD. The automatic No-Bark Collar comes with replaceable battery and the rechargeable No-Bark Collar comes with rechargeable NiMH batteries (each collar sold separately).

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Shocked my dog even when she wasn’t barking. :-(
I bought this product with high hopes for our five year old Springer Spaniel. (She has been successful with the electric fence.) The first night we tried the collar she began to “blame” the shock on other variables such as where she was in the house or what toy she was playing with. Now, we are trying to teach her it is ok to play with her rope. She is so afraid of it. As a family, we decided to keep trying the collar, she would eventually figure it out. Until, I saw her sitting on the rug, breathing hard from being outside, and being shocked. This angered me because she pulled back from the area she was sitting and hesitated to come to me. I am upset that it shocked my dog even when she was not barking. That is not okay with me. It gives her mixed signals so she is not quite sure why she is being shocked. We will be trying a different product.

5 Stars Works Wonderfully
My dogs have been terrible barkers for a long time but we have lived rurally so they did not bother anyone. Recently we moved to a more suburban setting and got the collars so that we would not disturb the neighbors. This collar really work for us. We have a 25 lb and a 50 lb dog and it worked on both of them. After the first set of shocks the dogs have never barked when the collar is on. We had to trim the hair on their necks to get a good contact initially and have continued to keep it trimmed. They do bark if the collar is off and the directions say not to leave the collar on overnight. They do not bark at night but we have to put it on them before we let them out in the morning. I am very pleased with this and would buy it again.

2 Stars Effective but fragile
This collar is effective in controlling your dog’s barking. However, the collar’s buckle isn’t sturdy enough and it falls off (at least off my labrador). This allowed him to destroy the collar, so I had “barking relief” for a little over a week.

5 Stars Worked for us!
Recently I took in a four-year-old beagle who was abandoned by her previous owner because of her nuisance barking. I was fostering her with the hope of adopting. However, I live in an apartment building with lots of neighbors and thin walls, and I work away from home all day, so the likelihood of this beagle working out for me was slim.

When I first got her, I set up a webcam to spy on her during the day, and sure enough, she barked the ENTIRE nine hours I was gone. I tried leaving on the TV, giving her various toys and treats, etc. etc., but nothing worked. Reluctantly, I tried this collar.

Seeing her squeal the first time she was shocked was hard for me to watch, but a moment later she was her regular self, so I’m convinced it just startles her and does no real damage. After a few shocks she seemed to have gotten the message. Two days later, she doesn’t bark at all when the collar is on!

1 Star Very Disappointed
I purchased this product to control the barking of my 23 lb Labradoodle. It has never even given her a slight message to stop barking! I called the service desk and the service person said she has to have at least a two second delay in barking for it to work. I do not recall seeing that in the promo. And besides, I am sure she has at least a two second delay between barks.
