 Don't expect a miracle cure Jul 29, 2010
For the price, I wasn't expecting too much, but I have to be honest: I was surprised by the initial results of the collar.
I'd adopted a dog from a local shelter, and eventually I came to the realization that while I was away, she was prone to some seriously substantial bouts of separation anxiety. I had two options: I could either let her run amok in the apartment and destroy everything (but remain silent), or I could crate her and sacrifice the silence that I, and my neighbors, required.
Crating her became painful not only on my heart-strings, but problematic due to living in an apartment. So, I decided to go ahead and kick it up a notch: Procure a collar--shock or otherwise--and see if that calmed her down.
Going the more humane route, I went with this collar.
Already long story short: I found that while it worked for the first week, she eventually found that if she barks long enough, the collar runs dry, and she can bark with impunity.
Sadly, I ended up taking her back to the shelter.
 Better than I imagined Jul 26, 2010
Even in my wildest dreams I did not think this collar will work as it did.
It took 2 hours from the moment we put it on our dog until we noticed the results.
The whole attitude of our dog has changed dramatically.
This collar is 5 stars all the way!!

 Made my dog sick! Don't take the risk! Jul 22, 2010
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL! I was assured that this unit could be used on my 7lb Yorkie. Although it worked and my dog instantly stopped barking, he became completely lethargic after wearing it for about an hour and only two sprays! The unit had been leaking and sputtering the liquid from the citronella cartridge.
Why take the risk? Don't buy it.
Stopped continuous barking Jul 18, 2010
From the first try with this collar it has worked wonderful for my 51/2 year odl corgi Sydney. She immediately stopped after only half the bark out. What ever reason she likes to bark alot - rabbits, cars, squirrels, other neighborhood dogs barking she know she will get sprayed. The bunnies still get a half bark out-the are just to much for her!!But that is all. Now it works great for me but I have another corgi that it had absolutely no effect on! So it depends on the dog, the device works. I would buy it again and recommend trying it.

Bark Deterrent,,,,,Not a bark stopper Jul 16, 2010
6 month old - Yellow Lab Female.
Problem: Nuisance "cry-barking" especially when placed in the crate, near feeding time, and/or for attention. The rural breeder we purchased our pup from never crate trained the puppies. Our little girl threw fits, when placed in the kennel with non-stop "cry-barking".
Initial solution - Positive reinforcement: My wife and I have been through several dog obedience classes and crate trained our other three dogs using positive reinforcement - praise - happy talk, "Good girl!...Quiet kennel!" and lots of treats. After 3 months, this little girl never caught on....sooooo we moved on to other techniques.
Next solution - "The can....Oh No! Not the can!" - Taught to us in a prior dog obedience courses - we placed a few pennies in an empty soda can. Shake violently (never throw at the pup), whenever the pup does an inappropriate behavior. Our other dogs shutter and hide, whenever we touch the can. After 2 more months of positive reinforcement and "the can", our little lab pup was not impressed or phased by it.
Next solution - We considered an anti-bark shock collar. After much research and reading we found this citronella spray collar was a more humane way of correcting undesired nuisance barking, so we found the best price here at Amazon.com and purchased it. We were a little skeptical, since the Premier photo of the dog being sprayed by Citronella looks sooooo happy! - this is not a happy time for any owner!
The spray collar worked initially the first night - one bark and the first spray of Citronella - No more barking! Yahoooooo! A quiet night of sleep! Until.....the next night. Our puppy learned how the spray collar works. The next night....Bark...., Bark...., Bark........Bark! Bark! Bark! - and we regressed!!
We stuck with it for another x3 weeks and went through x2 refill cans of Citronella refilling the collar every night. Our pup learned as soon as she went to the kennel - she could growl and set the collar off and empty the Citronella by morning for a good morning episode of Bark! Bark! Bark!
This morning - I went to let her out of the kennel - she was doing the Bark.......Whimper......Bark....Whimper....She was not phased by the collar whatsoever - She squinted her eyes and wagged her tail through each and every spray as if she enjoyed each and every spray.
NEXT SOLUTION - I'm sad to say - We're moving onto a real shock collar that never gets empty and we can manually control with a remote control for other undesired behaviors - rough play with the other dogs, chewing habits, etc.
In conclusion, this Citronella spray collar may work for some dogs, but we're at our wits end with our sweet, little Yellow Lab pup. We can not wait till she reaches the 4 year old milestone and hopefully mellows out and stops these unwanted behaviors - as our other Labs have done.
