"He's gone through loads of training, and he's improved, but he still barks non-stop in the evenings when all the neighbors get home and are trying to enjoy the outdoors, so a reminder collar works great so he can still spend time outside too. We got this one during his training, and it worked great!..."

— jeanne

"It worked for 30 seconds then just stopped. No amount of reading the manual or troubleshooting helped."

Bottom Line

Consider this for a short trial. For longer use, look for more durable alternatives.
