Review on Citronella Dog Training Collar with Remote Control - Spray Bark Collar, 2 Modes, 500ft Range, Safe & Humane, No Shock Anti-Bark, Rechargeable Battery by Trisha Green

We used an earlier version of the Citronella Bark Pet Collar and it was amazing. Simply fill out, switch on. It was clumsy, but it just worked. When they upgraded it to the cassette format, I looked for a less expensive alternative that didn't work before for one reason or another. We live in an area that has a lot of wildlife. and as it turns out, this one first beeps and then sprays when challenged, which works really well with our energetic Chocolate Lab Dog. He is used to warning as we also have an invisible fence and this collar also gives a warning sound first. You can hear him start barking and then back away. I also like the atomizer off indicator. It's very useful and just works. You don't have to think about it. I only give these 4 stars because it is the second collar. The first started leaking after a few weeks. And the rubber filler cap is a little fiddly. Let's see if that lasts. I also have an extra warranty just in case. Finally, I don't use the remote feature, but if you're in bark-free learning mode or looking for manual control, I see real value as well. The auto function is sufficient for our needs.
