Please take a moment to read what I have to say before you make a huge mistake. First of all, I am not faint-hearted. I am a nurse, who has seen just about everything in the last 15 years…but this device was simply too much to stomach. We purchased this for our darling eight week old pupply, Scooch. He is a Chocolate Lab/Walker Coonhound mix, who seems to have a bit of separation anxiety. He will bark incessantly unless a family member is within his sight. As a last resort we tried the Petsafe PBC-302 Bark Control Training System. This device is supposed to increase the “static correction”, which is nothing more than a euphemism for electric shock, when the dog barks. The intensity of the shock increases with each bark (there are six levels). By the 3rd “correction” the dog was jumping up in the air and then crawling (for lack of a better term) on the floor…it looked as if he was temporarily losing control of his motor function. The poor animal looked terrified and the pain evident in his eyes was palpable. Can you guess how he reacted to each “correction”? Yup, he barked! I’m sure that he reached the 6th level by the time we were able to intervene. We could take no more and immediately went to him and removed the collar. I guess some may say that the device failed because, I’m proud to say, I simply didn’t have it in me to let it continue. I don’t know if it would have been successful had I let the puppy endure more of the torture, but I’m sure there’s got to be a better way.

I bought this for my beagle/bassett mix. When I put this on her and she barked she shook her head at first and continued to bark through it. It did not have enough power to actually cause her enough discomfort to stop. I put it away after it stopped working, I thought perhaps the batteries were dead and replaced them, it still did not work. I tried to return it to the store to exchange it, but the company demands that you ship it back directly to them. It was bad enough that my dog was annoying with her barking, it was even more annoying to spend $120 on a product that didn’t work, and then broke, and then I couldn’t even exchange it. Not worth it.

this product is useless- it promised to get my dog to stop barking. he’s been wearing it for 2 months and he is still barking- i’ve tried replacing the battery twice, but nothing helps. the signal is obviously not strong enough yet there is no way to adjust the signal to make it stronger. and then just yesterday the plastic latch broke so i can’t even use it at all unti i replace the latch, which i don’t think i’m even going to bother to do

i have a small dog with a high pitch bark, the unit NEVER works on the dog, and only works if you rub the contact points across the carpet, i dont see how any dogs barking could set this thing off, a remote controll zapper would work much better
