Review on Collar Upgraded Anti Barking Vibration Medium by Heather Wagner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much better! Now the world!

Background: I have a 1 year old English Mastiff, a 5 year old Labrador and a 7 year old Pekepu. The two older ones "barked" more and more with joy and excitement, which made the 200-kilo "baby" very nervous. He has learned to become "barker". The only thing is that his barking is deafening! Remote e-collars have failed to solve this growing problem, and the idea is to correct, not punish, behavior. By the time I could correct the correct dog with the remote control, the moment was over. What I love about these collars is that they are quick to respond and reduce the chaos and excitement of the dogs which in turn means we have a lot more fun with them. Now they can get positive confirmation for their silence! The "baby” is no longer as nervous and, more importantly, anxious as it used to be. We didn't need or use a collar on him. We just had to retrain his older "brothers". Sensitivity levels need to be monitored because if a dog barks loud enough, it can set off another collar. If the dog also shakes its head very hard, this can provoke it. It's just a matter of fine-tuning everything. After the first two barks, they quickly learned what was acceptable and what was not. Now they only react to the sound signal. I have been very pleasantly impressed with the success of these collars for us. Dogs also learn when it's okay to bark. When they go outside, they usually howl or whine to let us know they're ready to come in. They can still do it (by removing the collar or reducing sensitivity), but surprisingly now they don't want to start a barking fight with the neighbor's dog. Increasing or decreasing the sensitivity is also very quick and easy. The collar does not need to be removed. For anyone who doubts that this is a humane treatment, it's far worse when dogs develop nervous, restless, anxious, and anxious behavior. This only puts humans and dogs in a bad relationship dynamic. It's healthier, softer, and kinder to set boundaries for them. We and they are much calmer now! Hope that helps!
