I bought this for a puppy who would bark when he wanted attention, food or left in his crate. Tried it at the lowest "2" setting and it really zapped my puppy and he cried. This collar needs to be used under direct supervision and removed if causing discomfort to the dog. Pet owners need to use it with caution, at least with smaller dogs.

Comments about Dogtra YS500 No Bark Collar:
My dog knew when the No Bark Collar arrived. Without putting it on him, he stopped barking incessantly. All he had to do was see it. At least we have it available should he start in again barking, barking, barking.

Comments about Dogtra YS500 No Bark Collar:
This collar was great for me as I have 3 very different dogs but they all have thier "bad" barking habbits. My Brittney/Blue Healer mix was a big barker when I would leave the house to go anywhere without her, but since I first put the Dogtra on her I have had NO problems leaving her home. The second of my big dogs is a black Lab and her problem area was in the kennel but when I put the Dogtra on her she has no problem going to bed at night with out a bark fest. My youngest trial for the Dogtra was our 4 month old Lab puppy. She has learned from her mom that the kennel was the place to bark, but now when the collar goes on... the kennel is a peacefull place to rest. Thanks for making such a multi tasking, multi setting, collar for all sizes and breeds.

Hey man, this thingy here works pretty well, within a few days my dog barely barked, only when he felt he really had to, i noticed at night he wouldnt really bark at all, i like this product and sometimes i like pie.
