Will this work to deter dogs. While walking my two dogs we were charged by St. Bernard. I had to hold him off by the collar until help arrived.

Yes it would knock them down but beware if you would accidentally kill them because of some other problem!Legalities

No. This is what essentially makes this product useless. All you can do is register your pet's information with the bar code (which is bulky) and pray whoever finds your pet has the hear to scan the tag. However, if someone found your pet wouldn't he or she be able to contact you with their collar information? This is what renders this product useless.

It didn't stop my beagle or basset hound from barking or howling. The collar that sprays citronella towards them did help a lot. I think it's the same manufacturer.

I only see an immediate response when I point it directly at his head.The device seems to work well when the dog is standing in front ofme and less effective when the dog is running around. The batteriesshould be new and a good brand. I have started training other dogsto stay away from my dog by approaching these dogs alone. I use the device on them several times and they started avoiding us whenI walk my dog. It feels good to see them keeping a respectful distance.

I have encountered several loose dogs while walking my lab and had to blow the horn twice for them to turn away. I also carry a pet form of pepper spray. A charging pit bull can be scary the horn is certainly a deterrent but I would also have the pet form of pepper spray.

It might. The video with the training techniques is helpful if you follow the instruction and training consistently. My 3 year old schnauzer-terrier mix learned quickly not to pull on the leash. It wasn't not effective at teaching him not to jump on people or 'counter-surf' to steal food. We used the techniques from the video and got a shock collar. It only took two zaps to teach him and an occasional buzz of sound to remind him and he rarely jumps! So the collar works for mild-mannered dogs but the technique works for more rambunctious fellow.

yes, this worked with about 85% of the pets. As you must know with pets, there are always a few that seem to completely ignore any deterrent.

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!

Nope, and actually it didn't work only dogs at all (2 German shorthaired pointers). They just looked at me when I pressed it and then would keep barking.

I have a lab and she responds very well to this collar. Our trainer said it's more like a reminder for the dogs. It's not meant to hurt them. But I'm sure if you have to keep tugging at it then eventually your dog would catch on. Our trainer suggested a little leash, it's like 12" long that we connect to it. So we actually pull the little pink leash that's connected to the collar. That way our dog isn't wearing a really long walking leash in the house and it's easier to guide your dog to listen instead of having to grab the chain. The triangle part of the chain goes on the top. With a little patience and consistency I think this collar would help. I have a lab and she responds very well to this collar.

I used the system to keep my dog from bolting after critters and running out of sight. I now just have to give the warning button and almost never the actual shock. As stated, you would have to have the collar on the dog all the time and watch all the time until the dog associates the bad behavior with the Shock. It should work but it takes some dedication on your part.

Sorry to hear that you are having a problem. I have a Pug who just turned three in March. I purchased the collar after one episode of finding him chasing cars on highway. The collar worked from the very first time I used it. I introduced him to the collar the first time and he has learned what his limitations are. I have even let him go out without the collar on and he had learned where his restrictions are. Sorry I couldn't help.

It works if the "collar" stays in the right place. It only worked sometimes on our 9lb toy fox terrier. We returned it.

I don't believe so. It inside control continuously beeps to let you know that the dog is out. I went though two collars in one year so I don't recommend. Went back to Petsafe wireless and haven't had any problems.

No, it will not stop a dog from leaving an area. It's only meant to deter a dog from barking but it didn't do that for my German Shepherds or my Pit Bull, unfortunately.

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.

I think it will work. I use it on my neighbors aggressive dogs when they start jumping on the fence trying to get to my jack Russell terrier and it stops them immediately. I'm can see them through the fence running off.
