NoBark 6 Standard by SportDOG - SBC-6

I have a labrador hunting dog who barks non stop whenever we get ready to go for walks or runs (ie he gets super excited and loses focus when he hears the truck start). He will not stop no matter what command or reprimand I use to calm him down. He is very smart and learns easily in all other normal circumstances. I used the collar provided above. Put it on him a few times, he started his excited yipping, the collar provided just enough sound and then shock to break his concentration (not hurt him)from barking and he stopped. After a few times with the collar, I rarely even need it and the barking has ceased. If he starts up again, I reapply the collar and he remembers immediately. The only problem I have found with the collar is if my dog plays with our other dog the battery pack and shocking device is not very durable and has a few dents and chew marks in it from the rough housing. Therefore I wish it were a bit more sturdy. Even then however, my dog did NOT get shocked when playing with the other dog when they were wrestling around and such. Hopefully this was helpful. Thanks much.

We had gone through two other brands of bark collars before buying this one. The other two were either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. The one that was too sensitive was also obviously short on battery life. We finally tried this as our last option to stop our two labs' incessant barking. One will just bark into the air every few minutes while sitting outside, the other goes crazy when people walk past our fence, and we live on a corner next to our police department. We have a barking law that fines you for "Nuisance Barking" if your dog(s) bark for 10 minutes straight.

At first, we just bought one to see how well it worked. That was a year ago. The battery lasts about 6 months before needing replacement (the other two were 2 weeks and 1 month). It's not too sensitive and isn't set off by scratching at the collar or the dog next her barking, as it needs vibration as well as sound to discharge a shock. Also, the collar itself is a plastic-coated reflective orange nylon which is great in case they ever accidentally get loose.

Overall, this is hands-down the best bark collar we've purchased, and I'm actually ordering another for our other lab right now!

I bought this SportDOG Bark Collar last year from Amazon because my Cocker/Springer Spaniel continuously barked when other dogs walked by the house and the Mailman/FedEx and UPS Driver came (which happens every day for us). It is very effective. I did feel bad at first because he yelped pretty loudly, then got depressed because he couldn't bark at everything in sight. But now, all I have to do is say "I'm getting your bark collar" he stops barking BEFORE I put it on and now he NEVER barks when it's on. He doesn't want to get shocked. It works perfectly. I just ordered 2 more of these collars for my other 2 dogs. We work from home and it is extremely unprofessional to have barking dogs in the background. I'm not sure why I waited. I know this is weird to say, but the only thing that doesn't thrill me is the bright orange color. I was thinking of attacking jewels on it or fabric or something, but it is not that big of a deal.

And happy with them both. After a few uses my dogs learned not to bark when the collar is on (even if the power is off).

Do NOT buy this product. I bought it for my 10 month-old lab who barks excessively at night. My husband and I tested the device before placing it on our dog (if it beeps when the sensors are run over a rough surface, it's supposed to be working) and waited to see what the dog's reaction would be. For about an hour he didn't bark at all, but every now and then the collar would beep, then he'd shake his head and scratch at the collar, as if it were irritating. We thought he was just getting used to the feel of the collar. About 90 minutes after we placed the collar on the dog, he was munching on a rawhide toy not barking, growling or anything, when he leapt into the air about 3 feet, yelped and started crying and frantically running around. We chased him to try to hold him and take the collar off. But before we could catch him he was shocked again because he jumped into the air a second time and yelped. We finally caught him and took the collar off. The instructions say the dog's first reaction to the shock will be the strongest, and we expected he would have some discomfort and be surprised but the dog WAS NOT BARKING when he was shocked.
