Advantages: Highly responsive to dog's bark, painless, immediate impact

Disadvantages: Pricey, don't know how long refills last

Tilly is a three year old Jack Russell terrier who loves to bark - at anyone and anything, but mostly the postman, the doorbell, joggers, horses, sheep, cats and anything else she is, if truth be known, terrified of.
We have only had this collar for two days so take this with some caution. However, on a walk yesterday she ran at a horse, took one bark and shot back in shock as she was sprayed - she then stood docile while we chatted with the rider. What bliss! We did notice it going off while she ran around and this seemed to be caused by the noise of the jangling of her dog tag on her other collar, which we have taken off while she wears the anti-bark collar.
At the door it's been the same story - one mad bark and then silence.
When my internet shopping arrived it didn't solve the problem that we had to put her somewhere safe wile we unloaded - I think she would still have had a go at the driver, without barking!
There was an added problem - by this evening we noticed that she was barking more again, but then realised that the compartment needed a refill. That done, she was back to one bark when my father-in-law arrived to watch the match - quite a change from the frantic barking that means we can barely get to the door. So far, highly recommended.
