Review Details
My family has never, ever used neg. training for any of our dogs. Growing up with had 5 dogs. As adults, my sister had 2 dogs and I had 2 dogs.
When my dad got my mom a sheltie puppy, we were all excited. They had Julie who was older and we thought a puppy would get Julie up and playing. Well it did.
However, Sammy the puppy had one very bad habit. She would just bark all the time. I am talking non stop and not always at something or somebody. She would just be laying in the floor and bark continously, non stop, horrible.
We tried to distract her with other things, we tried the can with pennies, the spray bottle, a stern no. We talked to a couple trainers who had offered up things and nothing worked.
By this time, my Mom and Dad had enough and was wanting the puppy gone. So my brother broke down and got the No Bark Collar. He checked out several and got the Innotek Free Spirit.
Sammy only had to wear it for 2 days and had learn not to bark. We took it off. If she barked when somebody came to the house, fine. But then on day four, she went back to the barking. So the collar went back on for the day. The next day off, and after that, we only had to show her the collar to get her to stop. That lasted 2 weeks total and we packed up the collar and never used it again.
Sammy learned that barking at things, people, noise was okay, but not just to be barking.
It was sad to have to use a No Bark Collar, but without it, we would not have had Sammy in our lives for 13 years.
So as a last resort, get the collar. Don't dump the dog.
