Safe to use product that works for two barking little dogs

Safe and easy to use product that works for two barking little dogs! Tuesday, December 2nd, 2020. Night exercises last about 4-6 hours while we leave the collars on our dogs. The online description of the adjustable strap (collar) shows that it is 8-27 inches long (enough for a small dog), but it is strong, the thickness is strong enough to hold the sprayer but not too thick. or hard for our two small dogs. Professional dog trainers recommend that your dog stop barking if you lose motivation for your bark (limit your dog's gaze to people or other dogs). In our situation, this would require replacing a wrought iron fence that overlooks a beautiful communal area with fountains; Also, we have a public sidewalk (a popular hiking trail) across our backyard, and that's not an option. Shock collars are not an option for me. However, I used a spray bottle of water, sprayed it on their faces while using the word "quietly," and if or when they stopped barking, I gave them a treat. The problem with this method is that it was difficult to catch them as they ran along our wrought iron fence, allowing splashes in the face and catching them right as they barked. Since both dogs already showed an aversion to spraying water on their snouts, the spray collar was the training product/tool I went with. It was obvious that they felt the spray at the first bark as the youngest (7 months old) turned her head in surprise and the older one (9 years old) simply flattened her ears in disbelief. I am currently testing spray collars by putting them on our two dogs in the morning, observing their reaction when the spray is triggered by barking, and removing the collars in the early evening. We evaluated spray collars for 13 days and saw a huge improvement. Dogs will still bark from time to time, usually when the doorbell rings, but they'll shake their heads, cover their ears and quickly stop. We don't leave them with the dogs all the time, only during peak hours when people are running around in the common areas around our backyard. This is a great product and my youngest (7 month old puppy) will be sharing it with others in my puppy classes. This works for my two small barking dogs, thanks for creating a product that is safe to use and works! UPDATE: 02/04/2021 After submitting this review, the product no longer worked on our dogs. Our dogs are probably only used to the spray because it doesn't spray much. Maybe the sprayer just stopped spraying as much as it started.
