*I received this product at a discount *
The dog collar is made by " My Love my pet" Over all the collar itself is of good quality nylon , the shock unit part of the collar is made very well hard plastic, battery operated and it is easy to get to the battery compartment, even though it takes an odd sized battery.
There were no real instructions,however, even so it's pretty easy to figure out, you insert the battery, you choose between the 2 different sized nodules they send to put on the screws on the shock compartment, then run the collar through the loops and over the top of the shock compartment. Then there is the Plus and negative buttons so you can set the sensitivity , this will take some work especially if you have more than one dog, or one who enjoys to "talk'' to you. I got this to test on two different breeds of dogs, who both have complete different personalities.
I first used it on my American Pit bull Terrier, who has a habit of barking at anyone walking down the road that he can see from a window. Along with barking many times when someone is at the door. I had to push the button to raise the sensitivity a lot on him, but he didn't stop barking , and even when he'd grumble "talk" it would go off even on low sensitivity. I was not looking for a product to make him fully stop barking, or "talking" just something to get him to finally understand one or two barks when someone knocks on the door is all that is needed, that he does not need to bark at everyone walking down the road. But in this case it didn't stop none of his barking it was like I didn't have this on him at all.
My second tester is a 3 1/2 year old Female Beagle who is extremely hyper & barks at everything including a stray paper sack blowing through the yard. She seemed to know what it was when it was put on her even though the previous shock collar used on her was much bigger & heavier , she didn't bark all day, but my son said when he was out taking care of them every time our male barked it made the collar on the female go off. so it is very sensitive even when we changed it to a lower setting.
Overall the product itself is made very well , as long as it's used properly I see this product lasting a long time. Just wish it came with better instructions as there is a plastic piece I put back in the box as I have no idea what it was even for, or if it was needed at all. And the sensitivity really needs worked on, it should not be going off on the dog wearing the collar when a dog some where else barks.
With all of that said If I was to rate this product on a scale of 1-10 I would give it a strong 6. You can purchase this product from Amazon.com by following this link: No Bark Dog Collar
