 BURNED MY DOGS NECK! September 1, 2008

After reading a lot of positive reviews, I went with this BC-102 collar. I found one other review that said that their dogs neck was burned, but figured it must have been a fluke or an over exaggeration. We tried it on my Lab/Border collie mix (55 lbs), because when we are driving to the park she barks like crazy and drives us nuts. The first time we tried it, she barked about 3 times before she started crying. My wife looked at her neck and found a Quarter sized burn on her neck. All the hair was burned off and the skin was blistered. I tried it on my hand and the lowest shock gave me a blister.
I called their customer support and they told me that there is no way it could do that. So basically, they are telling me that I'm lying? They said maybe your dog is allergic to metal. I don't think an allergy would burn off hair and blister the skin!!!
I sent the collar and large pictures to their customer service for testing and a refund. It was delivered to them more than 2 weeks ago and I haven't heard a peep out of them.
I would not buy another product from "Pet Safe".
Shocking Pet Collar August 26, 2008
Mary A. Laffoon (Mountain City, NV United States)
This is the worst training collar I have ever used My poor dog was terrified and would not stop barking and crying. I returned the collar for my money back.
 No More Barking, YAY! August 18, 2008

I have a 2 year old Black Lab Collie Mix and overall he is a great dog. His one flaw is he would bark at everything. Anyone walking down the sidewalk, anyone pulling up in the driveway, the kids in the neighboring back yards. If there was someone outside that he could see or hear, he would bark. I tried training him not to do this with treats, and praise and even classes. He would get better for a little while, but then go right back to barking. I didn't know what to do with him.
Eventually I looked into the No-Bark collars. At first I thought this was too mean and I don't want to hurt my dog. After almost a year of barking though, I decided to give it a try. Before using it on Xandir, my dog, I tried it on myself. This product has incremental shocks where if the dog barks it will shock them, then if the dog barks again within 5 seconds or so, it will shock again, but harder. It will continue to increase if the dog continues to bark. So, what I did was rubbed it against my arm to feel the shock. The first one is nothing at all, the second one sure gets your attention and the third one made me take if off my arm. I didn't try it past then so I'm not sure what the other levels feel like. I figured Xandir would stop barking after the first if not second level so I decided to give it a try on him.
YOU MUST WATCH YOUR DOG THE FIRST FEW TIMES YOU HAVE THIS ON THEM! For Xandir, the first shock just made him stop and the second shock made him whine a bit. I can see where other reviews said that when the dog crys it could shock them again thinking it was a bark. It didn't do this to Xandir, but you must watch your dog to make sure this doesn't happen or you could have a very tramatized dog.
After about 3 different instances of barking, Xandir quickly learned he would be shocked if he barked. The really cool thing about this collar is that it works off vibration and only registered louder barks. Xandir can still do "inside" bark as we call it, and not get shocked. This is good for him and for us. He still gets the satisfaction of barking and letting us know someone is outside but it is quiet not to annoy anyone and we still hear it so we are aware someone is outside.
Overall this is a great product. I've owned it for over 6 months and the battery is still good. We only use it when Xandir starts to bark again as he is much better now then he used to be. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a barking dog remedy, but remember to mointor your dog when beginning to use the product!
 No good for double-coated breeds -- eg, Keeshond or Samoyed August 14, 2008
PeterC (Montclair, NJ United States)
I had high hopes for this, as my keeshond is extremely vocal, but was simply unable to get it to deliver any kind of shock at all through his hair. He does have a particularly thick coat, but I tried parting it under the unit, and pulling the collar very very tight, but still nothing. Just in case it was the dog and not the hair, I tried it on a Samoyed, with much less of a ruff, but it didn't work on her either. I called the company, and they suggested shaving his neck, but I don't think they appreciated just what this would mean. Anyway, if anyone can recommend any way of keeping a keeshond quiet, please let me know.
