I'd like to point out that the sonic noise itself is what he hates and this is the first thing that has worked. I tried shock (which just made him whine loud enough to keep getting a shock, and scarred his neck); citronella (worked for a week); 2 other sonic devices that just didn't have the right sound to shut Tux up; and a boat horn (which worked but only when I could find it and also punished the other dogs!). This one makes the dog wearing it suffer even if he's not the one barking but doesn't seem to bother the other dogs. So Tux has learned to run away if one of the other dogs barks, which actually quiets them all down.We had complaints from our neighbors and after trying a tone based bark arrestor, we decided to hesitantly step up to this one that shocks if the dog continues to bark after receiving the high pitched sound. But, when I put it on him, it started shocking him without a peep from anyone or anything. The poor dog didn't know what to do while it shocked his neck and I tried to remove it in a panic. He was pretty stressed. It seems like a great product, I hope they have the bugs out of it.
Buy High Tech Pet Terminator 2 Progressive Stimulus Sound and Shock Bark Control Collar BT-2 Now
dont come with batteries . use it on yourself its a stronger shock than other collars. dont use if you have multiple petsI had a horrible experience with this collar! Here is my horror story:My 2 yr old pitbull is a barker and I felt like I tried everything to stop this just short of professional training. I bought the citronella collar and he just barked numerous times until the sprayer was empty. The whole room would be filled with citronella and made us all gag. I felt I needed something stronger.
I was moving into a new place and bought this shock collar as a last resort. I did not want the upstairs landlords to kick me out or dislike me and my dog because my dog barked all day at every little sound!
I put the collar on and the first time he barked, it warned him as it was supposed to with a high pitch sound. He got scared but the warning did not scare him enough for him to stop barking. The collar, again, worked as it was supposed to and shock him at this point. The shock freaked him out. It freaked me out to see his reaction to being shocked. But maybe I was just being a baby about it because he is my baby.
I decided to keep with it because in the end I needed him to stop unnecessarily barking.
He barked again a few minutes later, like I knew he would, and there was no warning sound, he just got shocked. This sent him into a freaked out mode! He whined and winced like he was hurt. I couldn't take putting him through this anymore and went over to him to take the collar off.
At this point, as I was trying to unlatch the collar, I happened to answer loudly to my cousin's question from across the room and just the sound of my voice (which is not anything like a dog bark) set the collar off. Since my dog was already panicked from the last shock, this shock made him get defensive.
He was running up and down the room, screeching, barking and whining! and each of every time he made a sound, the collar shocked him!!!
I was horrified!!!
Now I am in tears chasing him around the room to hold him down and get this friggin collar off him! The whole time the collar is continuously shocking him!!!
Need less to say, my dog was so freaked out and in defense mode, he ended up biting me because he wasn't understanding what was going on.
I had to go to the hospital to get 10 stitches in my hand all because this collar malfunctioned over my voice!!!!!
I would NEVER EVER recommend anyone getting their pet a shock collar, no matter the circumstances! ESP NOT THIS COLLAR!!!We have two Mt. Cur dogs, who love to bark and unfortunately they love to bark for no reason! We have tried the sonic collars (don't waste your time), especically if your dog is the type of breed that is strong willed. We placed the Terminator 2 on the older dog (2yrs) and and after the 3rd bark....we had a quiet dog. She totally got the connection between barking and the zap. We then place the collar on the younger dog (8 months), and it only took one bark...and now we had two quiet dogs. We love this training tool. We are buying a second collar and planning on using them to break other "bad habits" like barking at the door bell....etc. Great product.
