Will this collar stop a Beagle from barking? Beagles basically go apeshit when they bark, and their brains do not really function as far as learning.

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 !

I really don't know. Our dog won't bark now when I put the collar on and don't even turn it on. Sometimes if he is barking I will just show him the collar and say "do you want me to put this collar on you?" and he will stop. I don't know you would use it without the collar as you have to inject this directly into the collar as it doesn't have a spray type nozzle..

No, the collar has no automatic response to a dog's bark or actions. For whatever the correction might be, the remote must be used to activate the collar. Barking is not a problem in my case so I'm not certain, but I suppose you would have to leave the collar on and hit the remote when the barking starts. However, the manual warns that you cannot leave the collar on indefinitely as it will irritate the dog's neck. Hope this helps.

you will need to train the dog not to bark at everything don't rely on a collar to train your dog

I got the collar to calm my dog down during thunderstorms. I didn't notice any difference. My daughter said it worked wonderfully with her dogs. I don't know how it would work with dogs fighting. Maybe mimulus? Or a sedative to calm them down.

Depends on the dog. Our lab will start barking after he figures out that it's off. We didn't start using it until he was five years old though.

I think it would depend on what type of training you are using these collars for. I have used these collars for years and find that even with my older, well-trained dogs they are much more responsive if they just wear the collars (without even turning them on).

I bought this to stop my next door neighbors dogs from barking and it seems to work. When they start barking I just walk over to the fence and raise my arm up over the fence and push the button and they stop barking. So it may work for you but I guess it depends on the dog etc. on how well.

Hi Lisa M. Yes it works on almost all dogs..Some of the really huge dogs it might not stop them from going across the wire and may require two of these collars set on the highest setting, you want to remember if your dog does cross the boundaries you have set out, you always set the collar on a higher setting. For bigger dogs I start my setting on Three, and then if he's stubborn I'll raise it two four, and then you still have five.. After he's had the collar on for three to six months, and he learns the warning sound before the shock, you can try turning it down some. Hope this helps you out.. Hi Lisa M.

I train dogs for a living. If any of the dogs in the house has very sensitive personalities it may be to much. If they are not sensitive at all it may not work because they may not be sensitive enough to care about the sound. What every you use has to be more important to stop then why they are barking in the first place. I hope this helps

I dont believe so. When mine yawn out loud or make any other noise the collar does nothing. only when they bark. thats just my experience

No, it will only work with a bark. I would recommend a remote control collar. We purchased one for around $50 that allows us to use a remote to activate a loud tone, a rattle, or a small shock. I think that would work better for whining. Good luck!!

This collar seems to work well on an animal with a more compliant nature to start with. I have one dog who (very strong willed) just got angry with the collar and barked harder with it on. In light of this, if your goat is the typical stubborn animal goats are reputed to being, I would be surprised if it worked. But hey! You never know! If it meant a few hours extra of sleep, it might be worth the try!

Same thing with our dogs. I wonder if they just adapt to it and bark anyway. I guess the noise they hear is not strong enough to be a deterrent. It might work with some dogs.

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.

Measure his neck. Be aware that you will need to cut the fur below the chin on his neck for the prongs to make contact with the skin. It won't work otherwise. It certainly stopped the barking of my pomerian-terrior mix. With the on-off switch, he is now wearing the collar without it being activated and no barking occurs.

After the dog barks their first bark it starts beeping. Then after a few seconds if they bark again it vibrates, then again after a few seconds if they are still barking it administers on shock. My dog never goes past that point so I'm not sure if it keeps shocking or resets back to the beep.
