Does anyone know the best vibration only collar for barking? I have a 19lb. sheltie that obeys everything, except my command, "no bark."

Michelle -We bough this for our huskie/golden retriever mix who weighs 53 lbs. It does not seem to stop him from barking, We are still working on this behavior. Diane

Usually for the smaller dogs they just need to be "Side Tracked" by the Vibration as to where the "Static" usually scares them to death. I have found that only the "Tone" on other collars and the "Vibration" on this collar is all we need for out 10# Yapper Chiweenie for which I am very happy to NOT have to have him SHOCKED!

My dog is a barker, especially when other dogs walk past our slider. (We live in an apartment complex.) I like how this collar has both tone and 'shock' in multiple settings. It took only one 'shock' with me saying "No Bark" for him to learn. If his collar is on, there is no barking. If it's not and he starts to bark, I just need to hold up his collar, or say "do you want the collar on" and he does not bark. Maybe a bit of whining, but no bark. I'm sure my neighbors appreciate it too!

No this is not a bark collar. It will not automatically react to your dog barking.

I don't know if it's the newest or 3rd, but there is no beep. I would suggest pairing the use of either the vibrate or the shock with a verbal correction (do the verbal correction at the same time as you push the button) ... that way you can eventually get rid of the collar and the verbal correction will work alone. But you have to be consistent. We never needed to use the shock. The vibration was enough for my large dogs.

The collar works on vibration and sound together. There are some utube videos of people who put these things on their neck....Not adviseable to put it on your neck....If it is on your dog and the dog barks there should be a change in the dogs behavior after a few barks.....

Just don't use the shock button ever. Thats what I do. My little on responds to the beep and if she is really really out of her mind barking the vibration stops her in her tracks. :-)

Our pooch seems to be generalizing his learning. In the house, he barks once with the collar on, and maybe twice with it off. If we show him the collar, he stops. I haven't tried walking him now without the collar because it helps so much.

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.

My part sheltie rescue is now on his 3rd collar since May. I don't think he got hung and activated the breakaway feature. He has never slipped his standard collar.He is very active and outside a lot. It works well no fleas no attached ticks while wearing it. That's why I've replaced it 2 more times than I wanted to. If I replace it again I'm thinking about attaching it to the inside of his standard collar

I use these collars for my 11lb and 15lb dogs. I have rubber tips on the metal 'prongs' because they are a little too harsh for smaller dogs. I use the vibrate mode mostly, very seldom use the shock. These have been good collars except for the fact that sometimes they don't go off when you push the button. It's a bit difficult to train when your training device doesn't work EVERY time you need it too. But, since I know that this is the case I just check the vibrate right before I put them on them (before I let them out into the yard) and if it doesn't go off when I push the button I just turn off the remote and turn it back on,, this usually works. One thing I will say is they hold a charge for a LONG time! This is a definite positive because I've used a few different types of collars,, i.e. battery, rechargeable etc. and these have been the best at longevity. Hope this helps

Think of the vibration as the lowest setting. No shock whatsoever. Just like your phone vibrating. I'll use it as my first "tug". If no immediate response, I'll give a shock stim on very low level. I think it's a very helpful feature. I thought the DVD was simple and to the point. I had done some training with my older dog years ago, and this DVD brought that all back to me and showed how to transition properly to the E Collar.Good luck!

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.

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.

This is not a bark collar - you must use the remote to correct the behavior every time - the good news is after a mild shock, vibrate after is a good warning that most dogs take it as such

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!
