User always necklaces "PetSafe" (3 Dalmatians) I strongly recommend to stay in good relationship with the neighbors. Because even if they tell you they do not hear it, it does not interfere with, that's wrong! (Everyone dixit Dr ment cover). Your neighbors not want to offend you but one day it's going to blow! The barking of a dog is like Klaxon, it generates a query and anxiety. Warning collars do not stop short barking! But it prevents the dog barks more than 3 x row. X = 3 beep prevention, re-3 X = discomfort. To be clear, the electrification is not painful. It is uncomfortable. I test the batteries on myself. And do not let the H24 collar on the dog! Only when you are away! In addition to the long, dog barks less, even without collar. Batteries may seem expensive because they are built for "PetSafe" and "PetSafe" seals the collar .. So, please, it's good mastos. Once I tried another brand, I have regretted.
