Guide Review - RadioFence Bark Control Collar
Things to watch out for, any little vibration will give your dog a shock, which is shocking even at the lowest setting. Collar tags and buckles will set it off. The collar gives off a warning beep first, which is enough to quiet the dog once he's been zapped a few times. Best use would be, one day at the low setting, and cover the prongs (no shocks) forever-after.
