As soon as we got this started on my Great Pyrenees it worked to curb his barking really well, but it stopped working within a month. Then I got another one and it did the same thing!

When this product is working, it is extremely effective. However, we bought two Deluxe MultiVet collars within a period of three weeks and got a total of perhaps 10 days of problem-free operation (and our dog is outside for limited periods of time, so the 10 days probably equate to 20 hours). The second collar never worked at all. We have tried multiple “fixes,” new batteries, etc., to no avail. We’ve had a similarly bad experience with the Premier SpraySense collar. We’re about to try the Innotek (sp?) brand. It’s too bad none of these companies can come up with a workable product, because the concept is exactly right.

This product worked great for a few weeks. Then it stopped working, it just would no longer spray. I thought maybe the battery? Nope! Maybe it got wet, and ruined the sensor? So I bought a new one. Silence for a week then the same thing happened, it just stopped working. I also found a crack in the housing which let the citronella leak out. So again for the limited time that this product physically worked, it was wonderful.

I have had this product for well over a month, and it still works great, so just be aware that the other reviewers might have had faulty products and just needed a return. Maybe their dogs are a little crazy and rough house the collar a bit too much. It is a relatively durable case, but I believe that strong impacts would do some damage to the unit. Some good and bad points now:
– The spray is VERY effective for curbing barking
– Is not sensitive enough for small barks and whining, so this does not solve those problems. If your dog is smart and figures out that quiet barking is not punished (like mine did), you’ll still have a problem barker, but just not as loud.
– My dog is not afraid of the collar, but knows to be quiet when it is on
– Make sure you say ‘no barking’ or ‘quiet’ every time it sprays if you can. The dog will learn your command as well.
Overall I highly recommend this product for $40. However I do NOT recommend it if you bought it at the $100 that Petsmart wants to steal out of you (though I do love that company). It is simply not a $100 value anti-bark system, more like $40-$50.
