How is the bark? Is it loud and annoying? Do you find that you wish the battery would run out quickly so the dog will shut up?

The bark is cute, not loud or annoying. No, I pet it to make it bark. My dogs love it; I got it mainly for my female whose puppies I'd just sold and she was grieving for them. Bark is not really realistic but cute.

Good question. There are certainly times when our dog barks when he doesn't have the collar on. However, I would say that the annoying barking is definitely decreasing. The main thing is that if we just show him the collar, he grumbles a bit but basically he shuts right down. If the collar is on him, he doesn't usually bark more than once or twice.

It isn't overly loud, but loud enough for us to hear. We always know when the dog wants to go out. The bells can always be replaced or you could add some from Hobby Lobby onto it with more or louder ones.

Mine is very loud too and I was also wondering if it was defective. Can barely hear the baby speak over the noise. Also, I have had to change the batteries twice since Christmas 4 days ago- this can't be normal.

I said no, as I do not have a dog who barks constantly. I would go to his website and read the FAQ's, I believe he addresses the issue

It doesn't work. I have 15 ft from barking dog and he still barks like before. We have moved it, put in new batteries and everything. Save your money!

I be leave it takes 3 L-4 BatteriesI do suggest not to let the dog play with it outside.The dirt gets it to the holes and then clogs the batteries and it wont talkWe enjoy it, just wish it was a little bigger.

I sent mine back as the range was too short and the batteries don't last very long. I bought another Sport Dog model (can't remember which one) that has a longer range and can be recharged. A little more expensive but a much better unit and works really well. It will certainly get her attention and it does not take very long to change behaviour.

We leave ours on constantly as the neighbour's dog barks all day and all night when it is not switched on. My sanity is worth the batteries.

I have a unit for my 5.5 pound chihuahua...who feels like she needs to bark 24/7. (even at us) I have never used the H1 for her. The vibration is my go to...I've used the L1 only a couple of times. The vibration does a good job at "reminding" her to stop barking. I had everyone in the family that might use it, try it out on themselves so they have an awareness of what they are doing. the L1 is just a small pulse... but it is effective.

I don't know, my dog likes to "talk" and by that I mean his actual bark is very loud and very deep but he likes to make noise to get your attention that can be heard from the 2nd floor even when he's outside and the windows are closed and it doesn't seem to deter him or pick up those tones, I'm not sure which.

No it won't go off easily and it last a long time. I have scared a few dogs away. Works great and loud.

It does have automated bark feature..however our husky learned how to ignore it...lol! He doesn't cry as long as we are with him. It is one of the best ones we tried. Good Luck!

high pitched beep. Loud enough to get the dogs attention...and mine too if I forget to turn it off and sit on the sofa. I don't turn it on all of the time either, once they realized something had changed in where they can sit and where they better not sit.

Hi Zach. It does but goes dormant after ( which seems to defeat the purpose) and you have to push the button to reactivate it. We ended up returning it because the bark feature is only semi automated.

I have one. It's pretty hefty. When my neighbors dogs are barking and annoying me I throw it at them and they run away. So yes, it does work pretty well on dogs. ;)

Yes I do... the good thing I found is that you it turns off automatically when the dog is not moving at all.I tried not to fit it thight to the dog, but not to loose as well.
