Premier Gentle Spray Anti-bark Collar Starter Kit

I purchased this collar as an alternative to the shock collars. It works if the dog is sensitive to the citronella and actually stops barking. Only one of my dogs responded to this collar and stopped barking. The other dog quickly figured out that the reservoir could be emptied after so many times barking.

Pros: Gentle for the dog

Cons: May not work for all dogs

Great way to stop dogs from barking. Our oldest lab never barks but when we got our boarder collie puppy he barked like crazy. We tried a spray bottle but he loved being sprayed and thought it was a game. Within 10 min and 3 barks he was trained. Dogs understand this method of training and don't feel punished. He only wore the collar for 2-3 weeks before we could leave him without it and now he only barks when he really has to go potty. I wish they rented them!

Pros: Works VERY quickly, very effective, batteries last a long time

Cons: Smells quite strong when it goes off, dishwasher sets off sometimes :(
