Our dog has had a problem with howling for years. He would howl at 4:30 to 5:00 am every morning (weekends and holidays included). Recently, he was ill and began howling every hour at night. As much as we hated to use a shock collar for the fear of harming him, the sleep deprivation drove us to purchase this collar. On the first night, the collar fired three times within a few minutes. It was a miracle, my dog stopped howling, and we all slept through the entire night. He looked completely happy and fine the next morning and did not appear to be harmed by the collar. We left the collar on for a few more nights, the problem was completely extinguished until my kids fed him the wrong food. When we tried to use the collar again, it stopped working after several minutes. We thought it was the battery so we replaced the batteries, but the unit still did not work. We think that the unit burned out after multiple discharges. Since we generally do not keep receipts, we are unable to exchange it under the warranty. All together, we had the unit for three weeks. Luckily, the conditioned response to stop howling remained, and we are all able to sleep now. We bought an extra collar for future use-just in case. This collar is worth every penny.
I’m adding this addendum for the reason that the collar broke after two weeks. Our dog had a recurrence of howling after two wonderful weeks of silence. This time, the collar shorted and stopped working. Since we did not save our receipt, it was not refundable.
