Anti-Bark Dog Collar
This product is awesome. It really works. Just make sure that if you have 2 dogs, to get 2 collars. I didn't and every time the other dog barked, the poor dog with the collar got sprayed since it's sound activated. Live and learn!

Works, but does not last a long time
We have a 100 lb + German Shepherd who loves to bark A LOT. We tried the shock collars in the past, but after we got one that malfunctioned (and actually left a severe burn mark in our poor dog's skin), we decided to try the Citronella collar. We were very pleased with the results. Our dog does not care for how the spray smells, and will stop barking. It may not immediately stop all of the dog's barking, but with use over time it will diminish. Most of the time we do not even need to use the collar on the dog now (because he has learned not to bark with the use of the collar).
As for the negative side.... the square compartment on the collar that holds the citronella spray is pressurized. Over time the square compartment will go bad, and will not be able to contain the citronella spray anymore. We have owned two of these collars, and when we went to use the collar the other day, it would not hold the citronella anymore (just kept spraying out like the dog was barking). The first collar we had sprung a leak in the seam of the square compartment and leaked out there.
However, I am about to purchase my third collar, so I obviously think that the benefits of this collar outweigh the negatives.
On a side note, regarding the electric shock collars, I would really advise anyone not to use these on your dogs. Most of the literature that you will read on the internet will actually tell you that the dogs cannot obtain a burn from the collars, but I am telling you from personal experience that is not true. Our dog actually sustained a deep burn mark in his neck exactly where the prongs touched him. If you research on the internet, there is another case about a dog named "Rufus" that sustained very bad injuries also. Try the citronella!

Wonderful product!
This worked wonders on keeping my dog from barking. My only problem with it was that with my 2 dogs playing around the collar got chewed up, but that is not a problem with the product... just with my dogs. :)
