Highlighted Reviews

— Emmy

"This did not harm my pet. But after few days usage it doesn't work. It can be helpful if you want just to try. I think replacement should be done atleast once every month."

— Sadie

"This did absolutely nothing for my small dog. Waste of money."

Avoid this product if you're looking for a reliable bark control solution. It may work for very small dogs or occasional use but fails to meet expectations for most users.
