Editorial Review

Product Description:

The Gentle Leader SpraySense Collar uses patented SprayLogik technology to deliver a harmless burst of citronella spray to interrupt your dogs barking. It acts on four of your dog's five senses - he hears it, sees it, feels it and smells it. Citronella is a unique scent that most dogs don't normally encounter. It's non-offensive to humans yet unusual enough to distract your dog and interrupt the unwanted behavior. Shock and ultra-sonic collars attempt to reduce barking with pain. In addition to being less effective than spray, pain often increases anxiety and aggression and makes some behavior problems worse. When to use: The Gentle Leader SpraySense Collar can be used with any breed of dog that weighs 6 lbs. or more and is at least 6 months old. If your dog is smaller or younger please check first with your veterinarian. It is ideal for controlling general nuisance barking both indoors and outdoors. It is not recommended for anxiety-related barking unless specifically directed by a behavior profession. Kit contains: Spray device with on off switch, 24 in. adjustable nylon collar, Can of stain -free, hypoallergenic citronella spray, 6 volt battery, instruction guide, One year warranty. Additional sprays sold separately. Cornell University research found that 88.9% of dogs responded to The Gentle Leader SpraySense Collar, while only 44.4% responded to electric shock collars.

Rating: - Works, but does not last a long time
We have a 100 lb + German Shepherd who loves to bark A LOT. We tried the shock collars in the past, but after we got one that malfunctioned (and actually left a severe burn mark in our poor dog's skin), we decided to try the Citronella collar. We were very pleased with the results. Our dog does not care for how the spray smells, and will stop barking. It may not immediately stop all of the dog's barking, but with use over time it will diminish. Most of the time we do not even need to use the collar on the dog now (because he has learned not to bark with the use of the collar).
As for the negative side.... the square compartment on the collar that holds the citronella spray is pressurized. Over time the square compartment will go bad, and will not be able to contain the citronella spray anymore. We have owned two of these collars, and when we went to use the collar the other day, it would not hold the citronella anymore (just kept spraying out like the dog was barking). The first collar we had sprung a leak in the seam of the square compartment and leaked out there.
However, I am about to purchase my third collar, so I obviously think that the benefits of this collar outweigh the negatives.
On a side note, regarding the electric shock collars, I would really advise anyone not to use these on your dogs. Most of the literature that you will read on the internet will actually tell you that the dogs cannot obtain a burn from the collars, but I am telling you from personal experience that is not true. Our dog actually sustained a deep burn mark in his neck exactly where the prongs touched him. If you research on the internet, there is another case about a dog named "Rufus" that sustained very bad injuries also. Try the citronella!

Rating: - Wonderful product!
This worked wonders on keeping my dog from barking. My only problem with it was that with my 2 dogs playing around the collar got chewed up, but that is not a problem with the product... just with my dogs. :)

Rating: - Quick Shipping. Great Product.
Product arrived in perfect new condition...and the next day, if I'm not mistaken. (Granted I live in the area, but it was great to actually have it arrive that quickly). The collar has helped tremendously to keep barking under control. I definitely recommend it!

Rating: - It Works !!
This device worked when NOTHING else did. It works on both of our Pomeranians. They were constant barkers. They're smart dogs and still bark when then collar is off, but never make a peep when it's on! Sometimes just showing them the collar works!

One of our Poms took a while to learn...maybe 3 weeks. The other learned after just 2 barks.

Don't waste your money on the cruel electric collars (that don't even stop the dog from barking, anyway). Buy this collar and you'll thank yourself for years to come.

Rating: - It works... but then it doesn't work
This bark collar works really well on my dog. It is a must have. BUT, the first one we purchased lasted about 16 months (not bad, I thought, I'll just buy a new one). I recently purchased a second collar and it leaked all over my dog on day one. Amazon was veary helpfull and they are replacing it for free. I hope this third collar is the one.
