I got two boxers I bought this and it work great. Yes they are adaptable up to large neck, I would highly recommend it.

The collar has different settings. One is a ramp up, one will shock "instantly" and has different levels you can choose. I think it also has a setting that will shock and then reset if the dog doesn't bark again for awhile.

you should have no problem, I have slightly larger dogs, but I only use it to vibrate, not shock. You should try it on yourself to see how the shock works. I have had to change the collar that came with it because my dog ate the first one... once my dog knew what it is, he only needs to see it to cower. I don't keep it on him.

Yes, I have an English Bulldog with a very thick, wrinkly neck and he responds to this just fine. You may need to try out different number settings to see which is better for your pooch, but it does work on my bulldog. I would recommend.

my dog has a 22 inch neck and I ordered him the one that says it adjusts to 23 inches (I think the Large)...it was too small. Luckily a neighbor with the same collar gave us an extra link in order to make it fit...so my only suggestion would be to buy at least 2 inches larger than your dog's neck. You can always remove a link if you have to. Otherwise though, the collar has worked out well and we have had no issues at all with it.

It's too big for your dogs. I think they have to be over 8 pounds for this. The collar is just huge on my ten pound dachsund. I have an underground system that has a tiny collar and is safe for toy dogs. You might want to look into something like that where you have control of the severity of the shock if they go through the fence. If you only need a small space for such little dogs, it might even be less expensive. Good luck!

Hello,This collar worked great on my dog.However, she weighs around 13 ponds.The collar is bulky on her.I am guessing it would be too heavy for your dog.I hope this helped.Have a great day.

Way to big for your dogs. You will need the lightest smallest link they make. Also I recommend a trainer to show you how to apply and use the collar properly. If in the wrong hands it can cause harm and not work. Being trainer I can say that it is a wonderful tool if used correctly.

Hi...I have 3 dogs with 3 bark collars (2 are Schnauzers )....they operate on vibration and sound so they generally do not have an issue....rain proof....not very long prongs.....would buy again

My dog is a German shephard and the collar did not work. I'm assuming it is because I read another review that said the collar needs to have close skin contact and I won't shave my dogs neck. I would try another collar if I were you

I have a chow with a very large neck. He weighs 75 pounds. I got the medium 22" and added 3 extra links. I do not recommend the heavy one as the links are too thick. There are several videos on youtube about fitting your dog with this type of collar and it explains why this one is the best.

The collar is adjustable but usually these anti-bark collars are for the smaller 'yappy' dogs. :) Sometimes, I just have to show my miniature schnauzer the collar and he'll calm down. Not because this is harmful or anything but because he knows that he'll get a surprise if he barks. If you need further detail, I can check out my dog's collar when I get home and see the length of the collar so you can tell if it would fit your dog.

What it does is sprays them in the face when they bark. So there is a chance your dog will get used to it and do it anyway. I just tried it because the shock collar only worked for a little bit then he got used to the shock that came when he barked. He didn't like getting sprayed in the face so it cut him short everytime he barked.

It might be a little harsh. My dogs are Labrador Retriever's ~ 80lbs. The collars didn't last but a week or two. I had to send them back. I wouldn't recommend.

YES!!!! You will need to get the 2 dog model or if it is cheaper get 2 one dog models. Train the females one at a time (let them know how it feels when you do something wrong). Then when you put on both collars and say your "stop/move" word they will remember what the collar does and no fighting! After awhile you will just have to use the vibrate function and no more shock. AWESOME!!!

It's fine for my eleven pound dachshund but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my eight pound Pom. I have a collar that I've put on a collar that is smaller than it one it came on and I'm trying to get the connectors to work right. The collar that comes with it is way too big. So...I haven't figured out the right combination yet to see if I can get it to work. If I do, I'll post it to this same inquiry.

I am sorry that I don't know. I looked on the collar for a number without luck. I think it is vibration as you must have the "box" on their throat area for it to work. Hope that helps.
