Product Description
Some dogs just have a whole lot to say. The Basic Bark Control Collar is an effective solution for training your dog to curb his excessive barking. This bark collar includes 6 levels of static correction so you can find what works best for your dog. A built-in safety feature automatically shuts the collar off for 3 minutes if your dog barks more than 15 times within an 80 second period. Because the correction is immediate and consistent, your dog will learn to associate his barking with a correction and change his behavior within as little as 2 weeks. That’s a win for you, your dog and your neighbors! Your pet deserves the best. Trust PetSafe to help keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.

We tried the citronella collars for a while. They helped, but my dogs like barking more than they hate the citronella, so it didn't really stop them from barking. They learned that 20 or so sprays later the collar would be empty and they could bark all they wanted. They also learned they could jump up on people's lap, turn their head, and bark to spray people in the face (I know, I deserve it for putting the collars on them :).
So, I researched static collars a bit. So many choices - vibration detection, sound detection, vibration and sound, multiple levels of shock, user configurable programs, etc. In the end, I just decided to buy two of the cheapest ones I could find to see if they even worked on my dogs. I figured if they worked, I'd consider buying better ones.
These collars work great. I have no plans to buy anything more expensive. I was worried that with just a vibration sensor that they might go off when they wrestle with each other or the kids play with them. This just doesn't happen. I was worried that one might bark and the other would get shocked. This is also not a problem. The collars work flawlessly when they bark and never misfire when not barking.
I really didn't want to go route of shock collars. I know some people think they are so cruel and that all dogs can stop barking with a bit of love. I was in that camp for a while and is why I tried the citronella collars at first. However, after using these for a couple months, I'm not feeling so bad (I know, I'm not the one getting shocked). The collars emit a loud "beep" for the first few barks. If the dog stops barking, then there is no shock. If they continue to bark, then the collar starts with a mild shock and increases the strength as the barking continues. My dogs did get a few shocks when we first started using them. You do feel terrible when it happens. But, it was a quick lesson and now the dogs never get shocked. They have probably been shocked 5 times each in 2 months. They still bark occasionally and "test" the beep, but then they stop before the shock.
The only negative I have is that the collars have to be centered on their neck for the vibration sensor to work. Sometimes my dogs can spin them off to the side and are free. But, I like that my dogs can outsmart the collars occasionally - they deserve that. I'm still running on the original batteries after a couple months, so not really sure how long they last.
So, they work good for us. I do see a fair amount a negative reviews around here as well. I don't wish to discredit any of them. I do think all dogs are going to react differently to these things. I bought the cheapest collars I could find thinking I would either stop using them if my dogs had a hard time with them or buy better ones if they seemed to be working. These collars are perfect for us, so I'll be sticking with them.
A few notes:
Before I got any correction collars, I was concerned about the effects on Ollie. Several sources that I trust told me that correction collars are proven ways to train dogs and that the dogs will not be hurt. Ollie has proven them right. With each collar that I got, Invisible Fence and No-bark, I tested the "corrections". Even at full strength, it's not as bad as some static electricity shocks I've gotten. When Ollie is corrected, she looks annoyed, but not hurt. She hasn't gotten a correction from the Invisible Fence in a long time, but the no-bark collar correction seems to be just a reminder to her that she takes in stride and adjusts her attitude. After the reminder, she's still a happy passenger in the car, watching the world outside go by.
With all the millions of dogs out there, I don't assume that this will be the solution for every one. It works great for Ollie, but some dogs may not learn how to deal with it. I was very skeptical before we got the Invisible Fence how it would work for Ollie; less concerned before we got the no-bark collar. I'm thrilled that she accepted both. And, as she may no longer need the Invisible Fence collar to stay in the yard, I assume that, eventually, she may not need the no-bark collar to stay quiet in the car. I don't consider either collar a burden to the dog and she doesn't seem to mind them either.
Other reviewers of this product said that the batteries don't last long. Of course, if the dog wears it all the time and barks a lot, the battery will be used up more quickly. A month after getting this collar, and using it only for once-a-day car rides, we're still on the first battery. I have two more ready to go and I'll check the low-battery light daily. I'll make a judgement later as to whether the battery lasts long enough. The replacements should be a little cheaper; do a little shopping on the internet before you buy extra batteries.
Summary, while it may not be everyone's solution, it's saved my ears and kept the spit out of my car. I'm very happy with this collar.

This was the first and last time my dog made noise. My dog is 10lbs so the shock was definitely overwhelming. Slowly and slowly my dog is beginning to understand why this collar is put on her and she is becoming less and less anxious with it on. Without the collar, I can leave her for an hour or so.
If you absolutely have to buy a shock collar, go for this, but I believe you need supervision when it takes effect. Don’t leave your dog in pain and puzzle. Lots of apps out there that help you communicate with your dog when you are outside. It doesn’t have to be a ‘furbo’.
Use this as a last resort but it’s effective.
We bought these because they seemed like the exact same as the guardian brand bark collars we got previously but don't make anymore. They aren't even remotely similar.
1)You have to buy their batteries so they can make more money .. fine .. fair
2) they only come with small prongs so if you need bigger prongs you need to buy those too... getting a little excessive
3) they don't freaking work!
I have 2 hound dogs and they can still easily bark.. and do bark while wearing the collars . My 1 hound barked for like 2 minutes while wearing it.
Before you think.
Oh well it wasn't tight enough... it was
Oh well it gave them correction... it didn't
Oh well buy the bigger prongs.. my dogs are short haired hound dogs.. I should not have to buy prongs
Oh well maybe you didn't put it on right.. my dogs are 5 and 4 years old.. this is not our first rodeo, they were definitely on correctly
Even when testing the product to ensure it was on and working.. it took a dozen tries to get it to test work.. it shouldn't be like that.
I bought 2 of these and they are both like that so it's not a one off.
Sooooooo diaapointed. If I could give this product a zero, I would
