Garmin BarkLimiter Deluxe Dog Training Collar

I have a 165 pound dog with a huge neck, that has a lot of skin. The collar fits fine and has been working great! He usually barks and howls at night, with coyotes that travel through the yard. I was skeptical, but it's been a life saver for the relationships with our neighbors!

This collar is not only useless, it's a serious hazard to pets. So far it's shocked my dog when the door to my office closed 15 ft. behind her. It shocked her when a friend said hello to her. It just shocked her when I was petting her!!!!!!!! Oh, and when she barked at the mail lady, NOTHING. Garbage just misspelled "Garmin"

This collar helped solve a barking issue we had with our labrador retriever. It was definitely a last resort but after having the collar on him while we were not home for a few weeks he can now go without it. The product does as advertised and satisfied us completely. I am glad we spent the extra money for a quality solution.

Works as advertised. Should be monitored though, not left on indefinitely. Has potential for more pain than most dog lovers want to administer. I used it on the 'A' and my dog has stopped barking when he has it on.

This collar worked exactly as advertised for our large breed puppy for approximately 2 months after purchasing it, at which time the battery life drastically dropped off. After charging overnight, the "low battery" light now displays within an hour of turning this collar back on and putting it on our puppy in the morning, where it initially lasted the entire day without the low battery light displaying at all. This is a far cry from the "up to 3 month lithium ion battery life on a full charge" that the product advertises. Unfortunately when the light is on it no longer detects or shocks for barks, making it essentially useless for training. For $100 and the Garmin brand, we expected a higher This collar worked exactly as advertised for our large breed puppy for approximately 2 months after purchasing it, at which time the battery life drastically dropped off.

First off, my experience with Chewy.com was great. The product arrived quickly & was packaged great. The collar itself, was not so great. I read all the instructions about how to fit the collar properly, etc. I tried the vibrate setting first & it had no effect whatsoever on my dog. We had tried other bark collars before that only went up to a 3 setting, which did not work on her. I decided to start low with the Garmin collar & set it at 2. My dog barked barked a little bit for a few days & then stopped. I thought, oh finally, a collar that works! Then, she acted afraid to go outside & refused to go out, so I let her stay in her crate & took the collar off to give her a break from it First off, my experience with Chewy.com was great.

When she looked up at me, I saw that the fur under her neck was burned off & the skin was burned also. I was sick to my stomach that I had hurt my dog! I give up on bark collars... she can bark. It's just not worth it to me. Don't get me wrong, bark collars work great on some dogs. The 3 setting collar we have for our smaller dog works fantastic on him. It just seems that our larger dog is not fazed by the shock collars --- unless they're burning her. … more

Very pleased with this purchase. Collar works well with no training necessary. In one week we have seen a significant improvement. It still allows notification barking but limits the excessive barking. We have an Anatolian Shepherd, 100 lbs with longer mane, we were able to use the prongs that were included. Worth the money!

Just moved from the country to where we have houses close to us so a dog barking is not what we want to hear. It works like a charm!!

Using with long-haired and short-haired St. Bernards, and the collars are working. Took 2-3 days, but seems to be taking care of the bulk of the barking problems.

Collars from chewy.com. The representative was very helpful and help me to find one that fit a small dog. They both are doing less barking and I'm happier
