Innotek Bark Control System Bc 100

Pros: It works
Cons: Expensive

Update: We no longer are living in an apartment, and Barney has no need for this collar. However, we have some new neighbors who have a very large dog that barks all the time when they leave to go to work. I recommended them getting a bark collar. They...

Pros: it does work
Cons: is it humane?

A neighbor-friend of mine had a dog that would bark almost continuously at night. Half the neighborhood was up in arms about it. Needless to say, something had to be done. Then, suddenly, I noticed that I was actually getting to sleep all night. It...

Pros: Very good when used on owners who allow their dogs to bark
Cons: You need to correct the cause of the problem to get rid of the problem

We bought it and tried it. Then we tried it some more, just to be sure. When we were sure we took it off the dog and put it in the kitchen drawer. A zap in the neck does not change the dog who wants to bark.

Before you try to correct the...

Pros: Basic Idea works
Cons: Cruel and other methods are just as good

The idea for these sort of products is based on a biological learning process for animals called 'Classical Conditioning'. The concept is pretty simple, the animal basically learns an association between an action it does - the barking, and a...

Pros: no pluses here
Cons: expensive, cruel, doesn't work

This was a tough choice for me. How can I shock my buddy when he only shows one emotion for me, love. My pet was barking in the middle of the night waking up the neighbors, my wife, and my infant. I lived in an area where raccoons would come and pay...

Pros: Efficient, humane when used properly, easy to use.
Cons: Cost and other people's perception that its cruel to use a shock collar.

We purchased this item for our german shepherd when she started barking just for the sake of barking. The kit comes with two sets of prongs, one short set and one long set for different thicknesses of fur. The idea behind the collar is that it's ...

Pros: It works with the right dog.
Cons: Hard to fit on thick coated dogs.

I have owned dogs my entire life and with the exception my husband's Jack Russel Terrier--now deceased--had never had much of a problem with overly vocal dogs. I tend to go for large, smart, easily trained dogs as opposed small, nervous or spastic dogs. ...

Pros: It let me keep my dog!
Cons: It does hurt him(and of course, then it hurts me too!)

Our dog is a big one.....140 lbs of German Shepard. When he barks, it gets noticed. Initially, he wasn't bad...just barked when you would expect him to...at a knock on the door, strangers in neighbors yards, etc. But then we had a family tragedy, and...

Pros: probably good for smaller dogs
Cons: very expensive

We were despritely in need of help. Our Rotti was keeping people awake, barking at any little noise. So, we decided to try this Bark Collar. Well, we watched the very informative video and tried the collar. Day one went pretty well, it really curbed...

Pros: Stops Dogs from annoying barking
Cons: Use it wisely it does work

Our Shepherd/collie was barking at kids on bikes...neighbors etc and it was very annoying!
I finally got to the point I had enough and was not sure what to do so went to the pet Shop and asked what can I do? I mean she is a good dog and very...

Pros: Solved my problem in about 5 minutes
Cons: Some believe the shock is inhumane

I was a non-believer in no-bark collars until it became necessary for me to try one. I live in a condominium setting with lots of neighbors close by. I had an English Springer Spaniel, about 1.5 years old, who would bark incessantly when I was not...

Pros: Does work most of the time
Cons: Extremely difficult to configure

The collar has seven stimulation settings. Changing the setting is an unnecessarily ridiculous process.

I have had two of these collars and one of Innotek's (Innotek makes Smart Dog products) remote training collars over the last 4 years. I...

Pros: Finally! Our Beagle pup finally quit barking at everything!
Cons: I didn't buy it sooner...

Of course it is humane. What would have been cruel would have been to have to return the dog to the pound because it was becoming such a nuisance. Whenever we let the dog out in the backyard, show would bark at birds, neighborhood kids, the wind, her...

Pros: It really works!
Cons: It can be kind of spendy

I would really recommend this barking controller collar because it really worked on our dog. We have a mix between a great dane and a german shepard and when we first got the dog it would never be quiet. I was afraid that the neighbors were going to...

Pros: None Unless things are just right it is not consistant
Cons: Hard for a smaller dog 30 LBS to wear

I wasted 100.00 for one of these it is now sitting in my kitchen JUNK draw. Our dog has hair similar to a poodle's so it is not real thick but we just couldn't get the unit to work consistantly at all and if you are trying to train a dog being...
