So, I did the research and found out this particular training collar would be the best choice for my 9.5 lb Mini Dachshund. She was doing pretty well with it, after she realized that if she barked it would hurt. Then one day she didn't stop barking and it kept zapping her until she lost control of her body functions. As she was running, barking, and urinating all over the floor, I was chasing her trying to get it off of her as she snapped at me. (My dog has NEVER done that to a human, not even to another animal.) I was a mess, felt like an executioner at a prison. Will not be putting it back on her ever again. I know this is a really long review, and I didn't buy this product from this site, but the world has to know Reese's story. Please don't buy and zapping collars. It is inhumane, no matter what they say.

I found this collar to work very well. I believe it depends on your dogs temperment. I loved this and I have recommended to a friend.

We bought this for our barky chihuahua mix and it works sporadically for a few days with a new battery...however, the power seems to wear off within a week, and then it doesn't work at all. It's not economical to replace the battery every week just to shut my dog up...especially since Petsafe has their own type of (expensive) battery exclusive to their collars.

I have 2 mixed Bichons and this works very well. You have to be sure it's on the dog's vocal chords in order for it to work (which is very easy). It's very light weight, not bulky, comes off easily and is easily adjustable. We also have the PetSafe Wireless remote containment system. One dog wears the bark collar and not only doesn't bark but also stays in the yard! Good products! I would like it if PetSafe used normal batteries.

I purchased three of these because they lookd small enough for my miture dacshunds that have a barking problem. I had purchased some petsafe brand from walmart, but they were too big and went through batteries quickly, But they did work well. I was thinking that these might work the same way only smaller, but I was wrong. The batteries do last a long time, may be because they dont shock had enough for my stubbern little weenie dogs to notice.
Dont buy these if you have dogs that like to bark.
