Has anyone used this successfully with a big dog? I have an 85 lb yellow lab who goes out the door barking (at no one)...we've tried the "spray".

We bought it for my daughters Mini Dachshund and it works with her not sure how it would work with a big lab though.

Yes we also have a lab. It works on all sizes of dogs because you can adjust the intensity of the correction. Great product - I have two!

Any idea the circumference of your dog's neck? My dog is a 40 pound pit mix, and her neck is about 17 inches around. The collar fits her with about 8 inches left to make it bigger. But as another reviewer, Dana, said, you could probably take it off the collar that it comes with and put on a longer one. It works great with my dog, she HATES the spray. Sometimes I just put it on her and don't even turn it on and it keeps her from barking.

I have a 5 lb poodle and it fits pretty good. However so it hasnt worked to deter her barking.. I will try it out for another two weeks before I return. I hope it works... but so far...nothing.

no-never; I have used this with 2 different dogs - 1 older and small and the other large and young. No problem.

Works great on my 15-lb Pomeranian. Love, love, love it. Doesn't work for my 5-lb Pom. His bark is too high-pitched and won't trigger the collar. UPDATE: Two years after purchase, the device still works for the 15-lb Pom. But I think she's getting used to the spray. She won't bark for minor things, but major distractions will cause her to bark, even through the spraying. I'm thinking of trying a shock collar -- or maybe just refresh her obedience training. My little guy is actually 4 lbs. The collar will work if placed very tightly. But it looks huge and uncomfortable against his throat when it's placed that tightly. I put it on him for maybe an hour max whenever he starts to become a nuisance with his barking (once a week or less). So this collar will work for smaller dogs, but it's just too uncomfortable to keep on for longer periods of time.

No. I have a lab that weighs 70lbs. This is way too big for a yorkie. You might have luck with "stop it" spray. It's about $6 on Amazon and closer to $20 at petsmart. Great for bad behaviors like jumping and barking. Broke our dog from jumping almost immediately. No harm to the dog and smells nice. Good luck with your search.

I have not tried a spray collar on my 5.5 lb morkie, but I have tried a shock collar that operates by bark, and another that operates by remote control. I don't know if it is her hair, or the pitch of her bark, but neither do a thing! She is not getting zapped. The units work on my 25 pound dog, just not her. So I am thinking of trying a new system too--static or spray. Is there any system that works on small dogs?

Absolutly, we have a ten lb yorkie mix and it works beautifully. She knows as soon as we put it on her to stop barking(in her case it's barking). We have had it for two years and we are very satisfied.

Our dogs are giant breed and relatively young (ages 4-7), so I'm not comfortable answering about old dogs. The noise is rather like a hissing sound (like an exaggerated form of the sound aerosol hairspray makes) and it releases a calming pheromone. It's not loud (not like an airhorn or anything like that) but for some reason the dogs find it an unpleasant sound and after a bit they stop. As to biting the groomer, I might suggest you talk with a dog trainer for ideas on that. We've had great luck with the Petsmart trainers in our area in helping solve some of our rescue dog issues.

I have had great success, my puppy is 30 pounds and since you can adjust the degree of stimulation (I use #3) you should be able to use it on a dog as large as 160 pounds, maybe more, it packs a punch, I tried it on my thigh and wow

Hi, did you end up trying this? I want to order it for my husky and curious if it works! Thank you!

Honestly every dog is different but this has helped with my Springer Spaniel who has a similar problem. I either use the vibrate setting or a low shock setting (if she really isn't listening) and she instantly listens and returns back to me.

I sent the thing back. It didn't work at all from a distance of 40 feet. My best advice in dealing with barking dogs is call the police. There are laws concerning this behavior.

It worked great for my 10 year old dog... F.Y.I just had to place some scent on it to give him the right idea.good luck!

Yes! This really does work. I have a German Shepard that would bark while we were at work. Once the collar was one and she barked, the spray would release giving her an unconfortable smell. Wammo! She'd stop barking. Very easy to fill the devise as well. Highly recommend this product. It has worked for me:)

I have one. It's pretty hefty. When my neighbors dogs are barking and annoying me I throw it at them and they run away. So yes, it does work pretty well on dogs. ;)

I use it on my 140 lb Great Dane. He's almost one and a half years old, and it works very well. I never need to use the stimulation over level 40 (goes to 100), and the vibrate gets a reaction in most situations, even though I would compare it to a strong cell phone vibration. The remote and the collar seem to hold up well, and the length of the collar strap is plenty for us, and I imagine even a larger dog as well. IF you have a dog with very long, very thick fur, I would recommend getting the prong extensions so that they can actually feel the stimulation through all that hair.
