BlessingsI read several other reviews about this product before purchasing and decided to take a chance because I had already tried several other things. This collar worked great! My dog is medium-sized, 42 lbs, and it is still fairly big. However, I just cut back the collar a little since it is plastic so it wouldn't get in her way when she has it on. I read others having issues with battery life, but I haven't had any of that. She has worn it for days off and on without it ever losing its charge. However, I did read the key is NOT keeping it on the charger, so I let it die completely before re-charging.
This collar worked really well from the first time I used it, as my dog was continuously barking at a very high level. When it first buzzed her a little, she didn't stop. Then when the vibration increased, she seemed confused and a little freaked. She barked a little more and the frequency increased so much she immediately stopped and didn't bark again. That was the end of it! Now, indoors or out, when she gets to barking too much, all I have to do is put it on and she "remembers" that it will do something unkind. It didn't hurt her, as I was initially concerned about that, but it will scare them a little at first. This has been a miracle for us, as the continuous barking would have meant a new home for our dog. After 5 months, it is still doing well.
The only con about this collar is that the instructions are VERY vague. I found some other websites that gave more information about how to use it and the different lights (one is blue, one is red, what it means when they are blinking. I did have an issue with the charger breaking, but the seller was great about sending me a new one with no questions asked. Get educated about how to use this properly and it will work!
