depends on her age.
these have very little success rate
plus depends on why your dog is barkingsave your self the 40bucks, a tired dog is a quite dog
a tired dog is a quite dog
quite a dog?
lol quiet even :)
i find they usually bark more when they're bored…
owners not giving them enough attention.
I agree, never had any success with these things.
It costs more but it's actually effective to get your dog surgically debarked.
At first when you said "surgical debarking" I laughed because I thought it was a joke. I looked it up and had no idea it was an actual thing =/
Why would you punish your dog like this, it probably hurts them. Would you want someone to use something on you when you want to say something? Would be better to spend more time with your dog and teach him something then just be there to feed it and take out to wee wee and poo poo.
Could teach it to STFU
Would you want someone to use something on you when you want to say something?
If they would release a mother in law variant it would be a top seller.
Agreed.
My dog's barking drives me NUTS. MAD.
But when i stop to think, even just for a moment… i realise he truly can't help it. And it's most likely my doing.It's driving him MENTAL to have all this unspent energy, and unable to do what he's born for.
Be loyal to 'Man's best friend', give them what they deserve. Otherwise they're just a jobless servant, or even a tortured prisoner.
That's it, give it back what it gives you all the time of its life, we can all find enough time to return a decent amount of love, kindness and care back. Most people don't understand that we, their owners, are whole world to them, everything they know and care about and would give their life in a heartbeat for us if needed.

100% worked on my dogs
For example one absolutely hates the postman and would bark EVERY time he came past the house. now not a sound.
and he stopped delivering those pesky bills too.
5 minutes of training would have worked far better, saved you money and saved punishing your poor dog.
How do you train a dog not to bark while you're not at home? Is a tad difficult to control what a dog does when you're absent.
Depends on the cause, if it's separation anxiety (my dog had this really bad when I adopted him and would sit at the gate and howl loudly, took over year of hard work to resolve):
Desensitize the dog to the clues it's picked up on, for me I would change and put my shoes on, get my keys and then sit down and do nothing.
Then I would go out and come back after 20 seconds, and gradually extend the time.
There's no quick fix and it takes work, commitment and time.
If it's barking because of boredom then exercise the dog more, a tired dog doesn't normally bark.
Or leave hidden treats and toys like Kong filled with treats to keep them busy.
Collars and devices like this aren't the solution as you're simply dealing with the symptom rather than the underlying cause.
I bought this unit as well. But part of the dog training I felt I needed a back up and so bought the collar as well as the standalone anti barking unit.
I would probably only use this consciously when I need to let him know that barking is not always good. Particular when a guest comes into our house.
Normally, he doesn't bark with my partner and I, but with a stranger he tends to growl and bark until he gets use to them.
point being - these devices are only meant to assist in training dog and be used cautiously
Animal cruelty devices should be banned.
Agreed, amazes me how people think it's ok to use this crap rather than spending time with their doggie and training them.
Agreed
Not disagreeing at all and i would never 'punish' a dog for doing what's natural.
But sometimes with all the will in the world, dogs still bark, it is not always a sign of poor training or neglect.My boss has a great dog that we look after from time to time.
It's a retired Parks Victoria dog and has had upwards of $30K specialist training.
Intelligent, obedient, well mannered and walked a lot, but outside alone for two minutes and she starts barking to come in.
Can't be left outside at all as the neighbours have complained.
Just a dog that barks and seemingly nothing that can be done about it.
I would prefer my neighbors used this, than kept doing nothing.
How do you call people who are passing only currently acceptable tollerant comments without thinking? Anyway, they should be banned in my opinion.
My friend was in a situation where his dog which he trained and excercised like no other owner would have terrible separation anxiety - he had to leave the house overnight, and the dog would not stop barking and howling for hours. It was in a unit, and his neighbour, a very excitable granny had to call for an ambulance because she was so frustrated by the noise. Clearly, dog had deep psychological problems (non behavioral) due to bad breeding. But yeah, it is so easy to say "animal cruelty devices should be banned" without thinking and improve one's self esteem and get a pet on a shoulder from the unthinking majority.Oh, and BTW - the end of this story - he bought an anti-bark collar and was finally able to leave his unit from time to time without being hated by his neighbours.
I need one for outside for the neighbours dog
From the RSPCA website:
Is the use of electronic dog collars legal?
Article ID: 279
Last updated: 24 Jun, 2016
Revision: 11State Yes/No name of relevant act/special conditions and requirements
ACT No Animal Welfare Act
NSW No Section 16 of the Act, Section 13 and Schedule 1 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (General) Regulation 1996 and Schedule 1 make the use of
electric dog collars illegal. One exception to this rule is electric collars associated with canine invisible boundaries. These are not illegal
provided the canine invisible boundary is used to confine dogs, but only used inside a fence through which dogs cannot pass and that is not less
than 1.5 metres high.
NT Yes Regulation 4 and Schedule 1 of the Animal Welfare Regulations allow for the use of electric shock collars in the course of training a dog (excluding
collars operated by a remote control device).
Qld Yes
SA No Animal Welfare Act
TAS Yes Animal Welfare Act 1993 (As long as there is no pain to the animal)

That's for e-collars which shock the animal, these are ultrasonic emitters.
Hm. Here it's different http://www.rspcasa.org.au/the-issues/lead-by-example/
Illegal – Electric Shock Collar
It is illegal to use electric collars (even if not switched on) of any type in South Australia under the Animal Welfare Act. People place an electric collar on their dog risk a $10,000 fine or 12 months imprisonment.If you know of anyone recommending or using one of these collars, please ring our Cruelty Hotline on 1300 4 777 22.
