Bark Collar: Does it work with dogs that have a lot of hair?

The company sells longer contact points for $10 or $11 for dogs with longer, thicker hair.

I believe so. the dog must be able to accept the very low buzz it makes. It is low enough that I usually put it up to my ear to make sure its on. Not to get too personal. I use it on my own ears. It trims effectively but does not pull hair.

They work great as long as the collar is on the dog. Once the collar is removed the dog will go about his business as usual. Unless you need the dog to not bark at a specific time the collar needs to be worn constantly which isn't advised by the manufacturer. My dogs won't bark when they have the collar on but bark as normal with it off. Hope that helps.

In my experience no, it doesn't work if they bark a lot, whine a lot, or otherwise make noise.

Absolutly, we have a ten lb yorkie mix and it works beautifully. She knows as soon as we put it on her to stop barking(in her case it's barking). We have had it for two years and we are very satisfied.

I have a blue healer and works good however they are one of the smarter breeds but also very hyper and bark a lot . The collar worked on her !

In my opinion, yes. Ask a trainer or behaviorist for help with barking or maybe get a citronella spray collar

I don't believe so as the collar reacts to the vibration of the dog barking. If your second one isn't barking then the collar does not correct. I have two dogs and only use the collar on my yappy one.

Yes, my dog is long haired and sweats when wearing it so I trim the hair around his next and it works great!

I put the collar on my cairn terrier snugly. It works well. You may have to trim some hair from a dog with longer hair, but it is well worth the peace and quiet!

I would think so. It seems to have good results with larger dogs. the deeper bark triggers the spray.

Yes. The collar will shock or vibrate with whining. Our dog whimpers as well as barks and on the 3 or 4 setting everything gets him. He is a 30 lb corgi husky mix.

Long coat does seem to matter. I just trim the coat where the prongs of the bark collar go. That works for my dog.

I have not used it for that reason however this collar has changed the response time I have with my canine mix. No matter what she is doing, she turns her attention to me once I sound the buzzer. Best of luck to you.

Not sure which collar you are referencing as I only used the Big Dog Bark Control Collar, with which we were very pleased. Since your dog is basically a large dog, like our dobie, I would think your dog may respond well to it. Good luck!

It's not the size of the collar but the training that should be done. Yes, it works on a larger dog but only if you train them properly. Some learn with the first vibration but others learn to run through and you can never get them back so follow the instructions to train them properly.

Sure. If it's a dog that has a neck and barks from time to time this item may work.
