Key on sizing: it just says YS300 over 10 lbs. YS500 over 20 lbs. may dog is 35 lbs so I order YS500, way too big. YS500 probable should say over 60lbs. They both have straps you can cut which are long, my dogs neck girth is 24" and the YS300 strap had 6+" left.We got this collar because our 7+ year old lab mix was barking so much, she was driving everyone crazy, including our 3 other dogs. She has always been a huge barker but she just got to the point where it was really intolerable. All the behavioral methods we tried weren't working, and I tried those other methods for a year before trying this! This collar was recommended by our dog trainer specifically because it has a vibration only setting. The first day, I set it on vibrate because she was trained to an invisible fence pretty easily so thought it might work at that level. She noticed it but kept barking, so the next day I turned it up just to the next level. She barked, it zapped her, she cried, then she shut up and she hasn't barked for the past two days. I have it back to the vibration only setting because I don't want her to cry, and she seems to have gotten the message. So, although I have only been using this for a week, I think that if you need to get your dog to be quiet, this will do it. She is a 60+ pound dog with a big neck, and it fits her just fine even though it says small to medium size.Dogtra No Bark Collar
Only had to use the vibrating to stop my male poodle from barking. He calms down and doesn't bark. It really helped.Our dog is small (12 pounds) and I had no problem cutting the collar down to fit her. I only had to set it on 2 in order to get her to quit barking. One day of shocks was all it took for her to learn (actually, only two shocks did it!). Now, all I have to do when she starts barking is say, "I'll get the collar out!" and she quits immediately. The best money I ever spent on our little Dusty. Life is peaceful once again!
