She has quickly learned that jumping up is not ok, after all the different methods I've tried before buying this.It's Working on encountering other dogs and her excessive barking and lunging.Boundary training: she will wait at my front door when its open and wait to be approached/told to come rather than dart out when she sees a friend.I have yet to try it when we encounter a pack of deer next but I'm hopeful it will.help with recall.Easy set up, battery life seems good so far.Definitely test it before you put it on the dog.You probably will not need anything above a 6 on the vibration setting, it's quite strong.You are given loads of collar length, you could probably fit on XL dogs as well depending on breed (it fits my neighbours boerboel)

Bought this for my 18mo working springer whose behaviour was escalating when meeting joggers, cyclists and people walking without a dog. She would circle them barking constantly and they, understandably, were concerned if she would bite. I was worried in case we met a horse rider as I’ve been that horse rider with a dog circling and barking constantly, and it is worrying. I’ve only ever used the sound and it stopped her dead in her tracks when we encountered our first jogger. She now watches joggers intently but a firm no and then lots of praise. Same with cyclists and people walking without dogs. We have yet to meet a horse rider but I’m far more confident that it won’t be an issue. It was worth every penny of the £36.99 I paid for it.

Avoid! Bought in January barely used and now it’s completely stopped working! No way to contact company for refund or replacement so I’ve literally just wasted £30+ will be looking into it further as surely by law most things should carry a 12 month guarantee? Really disappointed

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well

Works well and is reliable. Great for training

5.0 out of 5 stars Best gadget EVER

Absolutely brilliant. Best gadget I’ve ever bought. Stops him barking immediately. He’s so clever I only have to reach for the remote and he stops.

2.0 out of 5 stars Collar Lasted 2 months

J.M. · 5 June 2025

Got in April and was very happy with the item. Holds charge for ages and my dog responded to vibration and sound. Problem is now 2 months later the collar doesn’t turn on. Will not charge either. Can’t see how to contact the seller. Will create a query with Bolo but out of the return window

5.0 out of 5 stars Positive results instantly… but not on all

To be clear, this worked perfectly (miraculously?) with 2 of our 3 dogs. So I can’t state that it will work for all but if you are regimented with how you use them, e.g. at the start of unwanted barking, and reward the positive result, ours were transformed in a day. Barking has stopped without now using so frequently. If I press the ‘mix’ button of vibrate and beep, the dogs come to find me from wherever they had started to bark (large garden) with no distress if a little ‘flustered’ but a good dose of praise and fuss and the barking at anything and everything has all but stopped, overnight so happy customer…. But to stress, on 2 out of 3, which according to Meat Loaf… ain’t bad

3.0 out of 5 stars Good product but ...

I ordered this as I wanted something to help improve my dog's recall. It's fine until she gets the scent of a rabbit or sees a squirrel!There is only one level for the tone but it is quite loud so not an issue. The levels of vibration from low to high are low enough if your dog is easily startled or high enough for all but the most stubborn hound. And you can have the tone and vibration at the same time.All of these types of collars seem fairly big but would be ok for my working cocker spaniel. I liked that it had no prongs but not sure why it has two fairly large screws instead. That being said, I don't think it would be uncomfortable.Item was fully charged on receipt so can't comment on charging. Quality was definitely good for the price but returned it due to the unit vibrating for a pre-set time at the press of a button. I needed it to stop immediately I released, as dog started to exhibit desired behaviour ie come back, rather than a few seconds later.
