bark collars

[taz]

just wondering which ones are good and what are your experiences with them never used them before but i had a friend tell me that it ruined his dogs i have a hard time believing it ruined them but dont know since ive never used them

i got one of the cheap ones it was only like 50 bucks i think but man that thing is worth it. i love it. as far a ruining a dog i highly doubt it a dog can tell between the bark collar and a shock collar at least all mine can. i would highly recommend it if you got a dog that barks

All my dogs wear them during the day because of the neighborhood that I live in. My dogs can tell the difference between the shock and bark collar and I have NO problem with them out hunting. I have the cheaper PetSafe ones.. They work on 3 out of 5 dogs. One still does quite a bit of loud whining. But he won't actually bark, the other is just a hard headed old boy and will bark. He wears a tri-tronics one and that keep him quiet. Even the two hard headed ones won't just bark to bark with the cheaper collars on, but will still bark when I come home or someone else drives up. So they have stopped any nuisance barking..

thanks for the info looks like ill be getting some just dont know which ones yet

I have 2 petsafe ones as well. The ones that I use have a built in feature that starts out low and works its way up the more they bark. So the one or two barks at someone walking by doesn't really zap, but the continual nusaince barking. As for ruining the dogs I have not had that problem yet. I have two 11 month olds that will rig and have for the last couple of months even with the training collars on.

I cant remember the brand name but I have one from Gabelas that I paid $100 for and it is worth its weight in gold. The wife dosnt bitch and neither do the neighbors. I live in town and it is a life saver.

I have one and it works great. The pup went into panic mode for a bit but after a while she settled down. They work well and with some dogs you can just put the collar on with out batteries and they know to pipe down.

Have had several... ... an ino-tec... with repalceable batteries... throwed it away... had one that was yellow and about as big around as a banana... throwed it away..
have 2 tri-tronics bark limiters. and still have one off brand... it works on tinder hided dogs but not on a tough ol hound.. I would sure get the Tri Tronics as they have a replaceable battery and they do get their attention
yes you will pay about $100 for one buy they work.
