Dogtra Smart NOBARK Detects Whining and Barking, 33 ft Range App for Notifications, E-Collar, Behavior Report, Waterproof IPX9K, Compact Size for 10 lb Dogs, Triple Detection Accuracy

I love this no bark collar. I thought when I got it, how could it be any different than the brands I've tried. But it actually is. The small things - like the adjustability ease with the app, make the biggest difference. And with this collar my dog is only getting stimulations at the appropriate times (other collars shocked him for other loud noises).First, I was doubtful I would use/like the App (as I just don't usually like using apps with products as I typically see it as just a complication). But I really appreciate being able to adjust setting without having to do a billion button presses on the ecollar itself. More importantly, I value how much I can fine tune the settings.My dog growls quietly when we play (in a way that indicates his enjoyment). Other ecollars, would apply a shock in this case (if set too sensitive) - but if set less sensitive would not correct him for barking. The dogtra collar differentiates. So I'm not having to take the collar on/off all every time we play.Love turning off whining/howling. My dog doesn't whine/howl, so less chance of it triggering for random noises similar to these. The sensitivity and levels of correction can really be fine tuned to be perfect for him.I love being able to adjust all settings on the fly. So he can be corrected for excessive barking for someone down thr sidewalk, but if I know the mailman is coming to the door, I can turn off corrections for a minute because I don't mind him barking if someone is actually at the door. To do this on any other collar, I have to take it off/on.Love using the usb-c charging. Finally less random chargers sitting around the house.Lots of other good features too that we dont really need (here you can use just vibration, just counting, etc), but I'm sure someone might find these beneficial.Not many cons. Only thing i can think of is if you have a really giant breed, you would need a different (longer) strap for thr ecollar. But probably this strap would fit up to 24" neck.Collar works great when not connected to it with the app. So you can turn off Bluetooth on your phone /only turn it on if you want to adjust. Collar reciever looks and feels quality. Screen on it is great and is easy to read.My dog seems much happier with this collar vs the ecollar technologies and sport dog collars (as am I). Charging is easy , no batteries , usb-c is so nice. It has not been triggered incorrectly when he shakes his head or a toy (like the othe brands were).I would recommend it.

Sensitivity is easy to adjust and accurate. I love that I can toggle exactly what I want it to detect and how sensitive I want it to be. Great that my kids and other sounds don’t stimulate the dog.The collar has different stimulation levels; count the barks/howels, vibrate or stimulate by either a fixed setting -or- stimulate by automatically increasing from any range between 0-100. I like there’s an option to only count (no stimulate) and regardless of the option, it’s counting the barks/howels so I can really tune in the sensitivity.Training mode is awesome, it has all the obligatory stuff like nick, constant or page (vibrate). Stimulation levels range 0-100 and there’s a lock button. I LOVE 2 things there, #1 I don’t need to put my other Dogtra ARC on/off for bathroom breaks. #2 When I press the button on my phone, it vibrates a tiny bit — that way I know that a stim was in fact delivered.Setup was easy. I scanned a QR code and it took me to the App Store to download the app. No accounts needed to set it up, the phone found the receiver and it just works.The receiver is perfect. I’ve had a few Dogtra collars; NCO2300, 1900S, 1900X and now the ARC. This receiver is smaller than all of them, suitable for very small dogs (like a toy poodle) but powerful enough to stimulate my Rottie. The straps more narrow as well, my dogs not bothered by it one bit. It has a USB C charger and a cool little LED display that shows the count and settings.Pretty cool that you can adjust the options right on the receiver and do everything event without a phone.I would buy it again and I’d recommend it to my friends.

Seems super on and off. Worked well when we first got it. Recently it would shock when he would whine or bark and then out of nowhere when he wasn’t making a peep it would shock him hard! Super scary and sad to watch.
