I've had good success with Dogtra no-bark collars. They have an adjustment setting that lets you fine tune the shock based on the dog.

Tri-tronics G3...Its a good one with 5 different levels and has a bark counter on it..it will show how many times the dog tried barking when you shut it off..also has a sleep mode on it..JMO though..

I've had good luck with inotek, It is has increasing shock levels depending on how hard headed your dog wants to be.. It gives them a buzz and goes from there if they keep barking, I've had it to shock me and it can pack a punch!

I have a Sportdog that cost $50.00.I also have a Tritronics one that cost $100.00.I like the Sportdog collar alot better.The sleep mode and bark counter never have worked right on the tritronics plus the battery will last 3 times longer on the Sportdog.

I like the sportdogs. The batteries last forever I'm on my second set in a year and a half. Really easy to use. They are nice and simple. If you don't want the bark counter or anyother options they are a good one in my opinion.

I just got two of the Sportdogs at Tractor Supply. I agree, they are a good collar. Especially for the money.

Tri-Tronics has a new improved version of its barking collar that is about to go to market. I have 2 Tri-Tronic barking collars that work great. I paid 100$ for the new one and 10$ for the older version at a flea market. The older version works great and looked like it was never out of the box when I bought it. The Dogtra is defianetly the cheapest! There's nothing like the peace of mind a barking collar can bring!

Read John Wick's article on bark collars in the September Cooner.

I have owned and used all 3 until each has died. The only one that I purchased more than once has been TriTronics. The one part I disagree with Mr. Wick on is that they aren't so reliable after a year. I have one that I still rely on after 3 years.

I don't get paid by TriTronics either.
