So obviously not a product you really want to buy, but my new German Shepherd puppy was attacking my thirteen year old Kerry Blue Terrier quite badly. I was worried it would ruin the relationship if the behaviour continued. Also although my Kerry is quite mild these days, he is a 20kg terrier, so I did need this to stop quickly for both their sake. I looked at vibration collars and even e-collars. Both of which, if used correctly and humanely should do the job. I don't judge other people and what they do but an e-collar poses problems for me and is a line I wouldn't cross unless I had no other choice. It would have to be life and death for me to use one of those. The vibration collar I looked at wasn't fully waterproof which put me off. Dogs use water bowls so collars get dunked in those. So I bought this. The pup wears the collar at specific times when I know it will play rough and so far I have sprayed her about three times paired with the word stop. Like a clicker, the spray collar creates a stimulus that doesn't happen in real life so you avoid the superstitious associations you might get with say a water bottle. It is distracting and I suspect, annoying, but not painful. Thus far it works, I would not use it too often as you can inoculate some dogs against the spray by doing that. When I am not there it is off her because it might snag on something and hurt her neck. Again this is a German Shepherd, having tried redirection with food and toys. Having tried timeouts and interventions with a long line I just needed something to say stop before the bad behaviour got rolling. This works well for that. It is a stop button and for this particular dog in this circumstance it is the least worst option and works well. So inside limited circumstances of needing to stop a problem behaviour quickly and without a lot of pain I would recommend it.Read full review

When you have lost all hope in training your dog, turn to this! I still can't believe it changed me and my dog's life in as little as a couple of weeks. Finally comes back to me and does what he is told. Amazing customer service too. Can't recommend it more highly

This would not recommend this item. It is not consistant item in use. It sometimes it would not spray and the tone was so low neither Flynn or I could hear it. I changed for the basic battery charged item and Flynn and I have not looked back. Ok batteries can be a pain for loosing charge but this little gadget does not rinse the batteries as long as you turn the neck section off after use.
