Q&A: Will the Collar Be Strong Enough for My Big Dog?

Q: I'm interested in the ultrasonic and vibe bark collar but I have a very large dog. I'm concerned firstly that it won't be strong enough and secondly about the collar sizing. Dog is 150 lb Presa Canario, very wide neck.

A: BarkWise collars are one size fits most. Dogs that are 8 lbs or larger with neck sizes 6–24″ wear the collar comfortably. Your dog can use their own collar if you want to make sure it has a good fit or your dog has a preference. Small dogs, such as those that are 5 lbs, tend to find the collar a wee bit too big, though.

Breed and size don't make the determination. The ultrasonic sound and vibration used by our BarkWise collars tend to get most dogs' attention. Hearing impaired dogs will not see success with the sound, but vibration works perfectly well.

Usually, it can come down more to the “why”. Why is your dog barking? Some barking, such as aggressive, anxiety, protective or territorial, may need other training tools or methods to see results. We can help you find the product or steer you in the right direction for training that works.

Oh this works great on my dog’s barking. I used it once… just a super short correction. He stopped barking and after that I just had to say his name , show him the unit , he stopped instantly what he was doing.

I'm able to get the neighbors dogs to reduce their barking.

I had to purchase a second dog silencer, one close to the dog on automatic was not enough. The second I use with the remote to activate when the dogs keep barking to silence. I would be nice to have a setting to have silencer active for extended period of time, like 10 to 30 minutes to make the stubborn dogs get the message not to bark. Now the most effective way to get the dogs to stop barking when they won't stop, is the press the remote every 10 seconds for 5 to 15 minutes. The continuous activation make the dogs quite down for awhile.

Ultimate Dog Bark is the best!

I've been using their products for years and can' say enough good things about their service and the quality of their products. They're the best.

They really work !

I am surrounded by neighbors who let their dogs bark day and night and who don't care about their neighbors, nor the CC&R rules of our HOA. Talking to the neighbors has been a waste of time. This has been going on for about 10 years with the HOA nor the City of Las Vegas willing to do anything about it. I tried different dog barking silencers and then about 6 years ago bought these. It took a while, but the dogs finally started to stop barking when the Dog Silencers would sound. Out in the desert sun for 6 years, 1 of them started to work intermittently so I bought 2 more, replaced 1, and installed 1 on my side of the block wall set on automatic. That really shut those dogs up fast. The range on the manual transmitter is also excellent. Try these. They work.

It is as described and as expected.
