Was perfect, when it worked., 6/7/13

Our little dog has the run of our fenced in backyard. She patrols the yard as if she gets paid to do it. She barks at anything and everything...birds, leaves, you name it. This collar worked great for the first 3 to 4 months. It even changed her demeanor. It helped her to obsess less and play more. The problem is, it only worked for 3 or 4 months! I bought new batteries and it worked great for a short time again. We always make sure to turn the collar off when she's in the house, which is a lot of the time. And once again, I am going to purchase more batteries because when it works, it's great.

Collar was purchased at Tractor Supply, and worked great for about 3 weeks. I replaced the battery and it still didn't work. All lights (LED) were indicating that the unit was functioning according to the manual. I haven't tried it for 6 months, going to get a new battery and try it again. I will update this review if collar is working again.

I'm on my second Elite Little Dog Bark collar in 5 months. We have a "squirrel" dog who goes nuts whenever he sees a squirrel. We had tried every other training method for a year and nothing worked until we bought this collar. It was super effective. When he wore this collar we could leave him outside unattended without driving our neighbors crazy. Unfortunately, both collars quit working after a couple of months. The same issue happened: the green ready light stays blinking and on even when the battery is in the off position. Both times when this starts happening the collar stops shocking. New batteries don't seem to help. When this happened with the first collar we thought it was a fluke but now the second collar has the same issue. Has anyone else had this problem? The collars are not cheap so I'm loathe to buy another collar that may only last two months.
Bottom line: it's effective until it breaks.
