My dog barked at everything. Leaves blowing, birds landing in the yard, children riding their bikes. It was horrible. I tried a shock collar but I felt as if it was cruel. The bark collar just vibrates and gives out a high pitch tone. Needless to say my dog has stopped barking. My neighbors are amazed at how well it works. Truly amazing.

Barkmute collar is by far the best thing ever. It really does work well! My dog is constantly barking at squirrels, birds other dogs, people anything that moves when we go on a walk. With Barkmute it makes such a pleasant walk from now on. I highly recommend buying it.
Shirlee Q.
This bark collar works! I've had to make some adjustments to the sound as my dog sort of stops barking at the lowest but not every time. I would recomment this collar for anyone suffering from bark craziness.
shaylee w.
i honestly didn’t think this was going to work, but after about a week of using it, my dog barks once and that’s it. he used to act like a maniac over everything. i’m just mad i didn’t buy this sooner.
Cara C.
Great product it helped quiet him down!

Kayla is a small Pomeranian that we adopted and had been rejoined 3 times. She would go crazy barking and out of control while walking and sees other people/dogs/geese and cars go by. Same when just looking out the window. After only 1 week she has improved tremendously and refrains from barking Although we can tell she wants to. Also now she is making new friends with people slowly without having a fit. It definitely makes her a more enjoyable doggie. She has a sweet temperament and doesn’t bite but before she was sounding like a pit bull. Thank you so much this solution!
Paul M.
Works better than expected! Our large dog would bark at anything on the tv, random noises outside, if anyone came over… at everything. He doesn’t bark anymore and it has really improved our relationship with him. He never sets it off anymore as he has changed his behavior and all of this happened over the course of a single week. I wish I had found it sooner.
Pamela S.
This is one amazing product. My rescue Duke has really bad anxiety with outside noises. He would go crazy barking outside our fence. I have tried everything; training, medication and cbd biscuits. Nothing has helped until BarkMute. First day I could not believe the difference. So 5 stars isn't enough. It has not only helped my Duke, but also me. Thank you.
Kathleen C.
Does not seem to decrease barking and howling when I leave my dog for a few hours. I can hear her as I approach my home. The collar is in place and functioning.
Jennifer W.
I ordered the humane bark collar for my mini schnauzer. I had moved from a house into an apartment. Schnauzers are natural big barkers, now he was so nervous everytime I took him out he barked. Everytime. Since starting this collar a week ago the difference is totally amazing. Much less barking, even other residents have noticed how much less he is barking and on top of that it seems to calm him. Great purchase for sure!

Great product. My pup responds if I just put the collar on the coffee table. It’s really helping the barking stay at a minimum,
Timothy J.
Wow! What a great product. I was skeptical but this works. Has changed my dog even when he's not wearing it.
Sam E.
While the product functions as it is designed to, senses barking, beeps and vibrates.. it did not have the desired outcome of stopping the barking.
My Australian Shepherd could care less and just barks right through it. All this collar does is add a high pitched beep to accompany his barking.
$40 wasted.
Bob K.
I didn’t have high hopes that BarkMute would work. My dogs our absolutely insane when somebody comes to the door or even if a car goes by in our culdesac. I figured they would just bark right through it. I was pleasantly surprised when it worked really well. No more scaring the Amazon driver. This thing is great. Thanks!!!
Shannon M.
Bought 1 and liked it so much that I ordered 2 more! I love the fact it works without having to shock the dog. Even talked my cousin in to purchasing 2. The charge lasts a long time as well..
Stephanie B.
Love the product. Very effective training tool. I don’t have to use it often now.
Rebecca D.
It works! Very effective right from the get go in quieting our elderly dog’s boredom/senile barking. He stops with the sound and vibration and returns to peace on the porch.
JUDY H.
This seems to be a good product but it was to large for my little Cockapoo
Marianne S.
The collar works wonderful. We have a dog that barked in the car at everything that passed by - dogs, people, cars, trucks, especially the UPS truck. She went wild; almost tore the car apart. Now there is not a peep out of her.
What we love is that there is no dangerous shock treatment involved, just a beep or a vibration. She does not get upset when the collar works, and we don't have to worry about hurting her.
We have already recommended the collar to friends. It just great. Thanks for coming up with such a great bark collar.
Marie V.
By the second day he stopped barking!
JEFFREY D.
So far it seems to be working
The Great Dane has quite down
But my Lab started to bark which he rarely did do to him being a Service Dog. Looking to purchase one for him. Thanks
John G.
We have had a difficult time with the buttons controlling the levels. Also the on/off button
sometimes does not shut it off.
Samantha R.
Dog has responded really well to the collar. It has settled him down and allowed him to feel more at ease when he hears noises
Abby E.
This is a very basic collar and works well. Instructions don’t tell you how to change the level of intensity, so I had to ask about that. Works well for my dog and reduced barking in just a couple days of use!
frank d.
BOO got used to the collar in a few days. She's quiet all night. Worth every penny . Thanks
Deanna B.
We have 2 Great Pyrenees and one barks constantly, which gets the other one barking We’ve tried everything but nothing worked. I was afraid someone might poison them because it echoed throughout the neighborhood and has for the past 3 years. BARKMUTE worked instantly!!! I couldn’t believe it, and it didn’t scare them like all the other bark control devices we've bought. Plus we would have to shave our dogs around the neck so the device would make contact with their skin, but not with BARKMUTE!! Just fit it snugly around their neck, but not tight and it works! Just like that!!!
If you’ve got a dog or 2 with barking problems get BARKMUTE! I swear it really works!
robert n.
I had some reservations buying this that it would work. The minute I put it on my pit bull Leo, it started working. It's gotten to the point where it's working even when he's not wearing it. He loves it and doesn't fight me at all putting it on. My only issue is the front plate comes off from time to time, but it's purely cosmetic and doesn't impact the function.
Franklin C.
Works really well. Had to find the right level for effectiveness but my dog has responded well. If it were controllable via remote it would be 5 stars. One bark and my 7mo old pup calms down and most of the time stops. Definitely recommend trying bark mute for your dog, just be patient. Might take a week or so to find the right level and for your dog to understand. But it does work!
Dan C.
Works great and no shock
Danny C.
Collar works very well. Dog reacted right away on day one. Typically my dog would bark continuously, but after putting the collar on, he quits on the first buzz.
Wish there was a indicator to show the charge is full. Also, the controls are a little clumsy and the instructions need improvement.
Larry H.
The bark mute worked like a dream it stop the uncontrollable barking at delivery people coming to the porch the first time., just one bark and that was it. Thank you
Larry
Sabrina m.
The collars are great!! But one of them stopped working after 1 day and now I'm alternating between both dogs... working pretty good though... I just have to show the collar to the adult dog and she stops barking... so we are good!! Thank you !!!
Maureen H.
BarkMute works great!!
Cherita L.
This product did not work for my dog.
Geoff L.
Love it - consistency = actual behavior modification!
Casey C.
Works great, really helped with walking our corgi who would freak out when he saw other people.
Madelyn G.
Although the collars do work well, one won’t charge after 2 days of usage. Emailed for replacement. Hope this one was just a defect and I can get another.
Edwina G.
First time I put it on Sam, it was like a different dog. He is a yapper and once he sees a squirrel there is no stopping the barking, with the collar it’s one bark and then quiet. I was very leary that it would work but we love it.
Kathryn B.
Our 14 week old puppy was barking non-stop as soon as anyone moved across the house in the morning. A friend's mom was veterinarian and suggested this collar. Since I am a new puppy owner and I haven't been around dogs since I was a kid, I ordered the collar. It didn't take 3 days of wearing the collar and we have peaceful, less chaotic mornings again. The puppy actually runs back into his crate when I try to put the BarkMute collar back on. I highly recommend this product.
Bill T.
Two weeks into the use. So far so good. We see a noticeable reduction in barking for long spells.
Bridget H.
Awesome product. Just what we needed. Great for our dog. Mellows him, decreases anxious ness. Not constantly barking at anything and everything he sees in the yard. We live in the country and small frogs and other critters come in the yard. Cuts out all that constant barking. Helps not to disturb our neighbors too. Makes a big difference. Thank you
Heather G.
We love this product. My Great Dane loses her mind when anyone is close to our property. The bark mute is just that. It has totally calmed her down. I have actually been able to talk on the phone without having to go outside.
Pam Q.
The collar worked exams is was supposed to, un fortunately I have a Chihuahua that has the fortitude to ignore it and Congo be a bad dog.
I’ve tried to stay away from a shock collar, but I’m afraid that’s the next step.
Sharon R.
This is Rue my 10 month old black lab, he's an excited barker, a protective barker, you name it he barks at it..it took a couple days of him wearing his Barkmute collar, and us finding an effective level on it, but it does work. He's exposed to a lot of things every day because he goes everywhere with me. Some days it doesn't phase him much depending on the situation. What really amazes me though is if he isn't wearing it and he's wound up like the Energizer bunny I put his Barkmute collar on him and it's like you flipped his switch to off lol. I'm definitely glad I bought it, and would do it again. Thank you Barkmute!
Ramona J.
I started a remote job and I needed something to help keep my dog calm and relaxed during my time working.
BarkMute has truly made all the difference in the world! I am able to work with peace of mind and not worry about my dog barking everytime the doorbell rings. She stays within my view, so I am able to relax and know she is okay, as well.
Thank you BarkMute for such an amazing product!
Monica T.
The S+ and S- aren’t easy to set. You can’t tell what level the vibration nor ringer is on.
Lisa H.
I’ve purchased 3 of these now for my German Shepherd because they really work. Surprisingly it’s the vibration mode that really works well. I wish the ‘instructions’ were far better. It’s kind of a guessing game, especially turning up the volume. Instructions need improvement!
Robert L.
It has worked great since we first put it on. When he tries to bark, he may bark once or twice and then he stops. The peace and quiet is heavenly.
Judy H.
This is so wonderful.
Ever since I retired she is horrible in the car. With Barkmute on she might bark once but that is it. I highly recommend it
Will use this summer when she barks at the window at visiting summer tourists dogs.
Jamie H.
I hardly ever leave reviews but I have to for this! I’m in shock, our dog would bark to the point that we could no longer hang out in the living room with company over or for a date night. Putting her outside did absolutely nothing. This finally came in the mail yesterday and I put it on her today and I actually almost want to cry as dramatic as that sounds. I am currently typing this from the living room couch I thought I would never again get to sit on, with a well behaved dog nearby. Thank god for BarkMute, I would spend the money again in a heartbeat!
Ericka L.
Our little girls name is Chaos and she lives up to it! Now all I have to do to get her to calm down and quiet down is put her Bark Mute collar on! It’s been great.
Tina H.
I have a cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She has been a wonderful dog, except for her excessive barking. I have tried everything to try to teach her not to bark….with no luck. I purchased your product with little hope that it would actually curtail her barking but it actually works! From day 1, she stopped barking when the collar was turned on. I do wish the directions that come with the product were more detailed and not so hard to read…. but I still gave your product 5 stars because it works and has improved my quality of life!
Steve P.
Our cairn terrier barks a lot at passerby people and animals. His barking has slowed down a lot.
J W.
The collar worked great it helped within a day. I wanted to buy another one for my other dog but the one that I bought broke within a week :( which was disappointing because it did do the job.
Julie J.
My dog is afraid of it. All I have to do is say “Do I need to put that collar on you?” And she stops usually. If she doesn’t stop, I put it on her for a few minutes. It’s not even charged anymore, but she doesn’t know that.
Sammie S.
Put one of these on our rescue Amstaff mix pup and he learned not to bark in one day! He has been wearing it for 2 years every day and we call it his special collar. He waits every morning for it to be put on. Works great.
Marilyn W.
I too was skeptical of this product but it works! My Pomeranian is such a good boy but there are times when his barking can be too much. I basically have to tell him now - "if you bark Mommy is going to put your collar on" - he does know when he has it on that he is not suppose to bark :) I don't overdo it with him and it is working out great for us :)
Rachel E.
Worked like a charm for our terrier mix who would grumpily bark whenever we would leave! Our neighbors no longer hate us!
Jeanine T.
Seems to be working. Quiets him down.
Donna D.
I have a one year old black tri Australian Shepherd, who loves to run and bark. This has been a great help in reining bark his evening barking. I am amazed at how quickly it stopped the barking. I have only had it a week! He is very sensitive, so it is only used in the evening. I still love to let him run and bark during the day. If you are on the fence, you should give it a try! My hubby says it is well worth the money and some!
Bonnie R.
So far so good, she stops barking when I pick it up to put it on her.
Caitlin M.
Wow! I was skeptical when purchasing this collar because it's not really made for dogs as small as my three legged, 5 pound, special needs chihuahua but after reading the reviews I thought it was worth giving a shot. Immediately after introducing it to my dog it started working. My husband and I were completely mind blown! Now, we are buying three more collars so that all of our dogs can benefit (yes we have 4 dogs lol). Man, were they driving us crazy with their communal barking. This bark collar is a godsent! Thanks BarkMute!
Sylvia O.
Once I got it set up I put it on my 9 month old German Shepherd mix and only used the audible at first to see if she would respond to that and she did. I have not had to use the vibrate because she stops barking as soon as the audible beep sounds. At first she was confused as to where the sound was coming from but responded to it right away. I should be able to stop using it within a couple more days.
Barbara W.
a very humane means of training to quiet a young dog.
Bridget B.
Keeps this loud bunch quiet! Highly recommend!
Holly T.
This device is absolute magic. Only took one beep and our golden retriever immediately stopped barking. I can now make it beep or just show it to her and she stops and lays down. Thank you!
Tina M.
Our little rescue dog was an excited barker. She barked when happy and barked when scared. With sleeping grandchildren and a baby next door, we needed her to calm down. One five hour wearing of the collar on the beep only and she had learned to control her bark. She wore it two days and only a few hours other days when cats were taunting her outside of our fence. Either this humane trainer is a miracle device or we got the smartest dog at the shelter!
Rosa S.
It’s a life saver! No more barks to the mailman haha. Works really good without hurting my dog. She only barked once to the people she didn’t like, the next time she knew better. It has been 2 weeks and she doesn’t need it anymore.
Barbara W.
works great and very kind to my pup
Kayla M.
I hated the thought of my baby being shocked so this is like a helpful reminder to be quiet
Michele F.
Great value for the money. Lulu knows exactly what the collar is now so the constant annoying barking has come way down. I like that it vibrates and doesn't shock them like other collars.
MIA S.
Cooper likes to demand bark when he can't get his way. This helps immensely.
Bryna B.
I recently adopted a 1.5 year old German Shephard that had already been in 3 homes. I quickly realized that he was a barker. Anxiety barking for no reason. I did some research and found Bark Mute, with excellent reviews and no shock. He has had it on for 2 days when I take him outside and in the house. He barked once, and I heard the sound, and he stopped. I am happy to say he has not been Anxiety barking since, and even stopped barking at passersby in the yard. I am so happy with this collar that I referred it to my Mom who has a dog who barks when she sees another dog while out for walks. I am so impressed!!! Thank you for a humane way to stop the barking!!
Lena C.
Within a couple of days, Sadie stopped barking. We have not had to use it very much since then. Worked great for us.
Julieann V.
Works great! Getting another one for the other terror!
Debra B.
We have a rescued Puggle who is 7 years old and has barked incessantly since her adoption. We have tried everything to curtail this behavior like squirting her with water,crating her,shutting the blinds but nothing worked for us. We had a behavioral specialist come to our home and nothing worked. My husband and I had discussed shock collars but I thought they were cruel until we found Bark Mute. Lola is a wonderful,loving,high energy,headstrong girl. Our veterinarian says she is a very happy dog. Two weeks after starting with your Bark Mute collar Lola seems more relaxed and is not barking at everything. At night when I take it off she is still quiet. Although she acted confused the first week she has come so far. Thank you for such a great product that brings peace to our neighborhood and home but also helps Lola to be calm.
Wendy D.
This collar is amazing. It has stopped my lab/dachshund from barking at my husband (which was an issue for over a year). Highly recommend this collar!!! Thank you for bringing peace to my household in a safe way for my little pup!
Josh S.
Works well - my dog has stopped barking at the mailman and the dog walkers that go by our house. Bonus that if we leave it on during walks she doesn’t become a deranged lunatic when trucks and other dogs walk by - she still barks a little in those situations but it’s significantly less.
Darlene J.
Had a lot of problems at first trying to understand how it worked but once I figured it out it’s works wonderfully.
Doug S.
Truthfully I had no expectations, but am happy to report a dramatic reduction in barking....and I mean dramatic. What used to be an explosion of baying and barking at squirrels, the doorbell, car doors closing, etc is now a muted single half bark or short lived growling. All with no shocking or punishment to my dog. Bravo Barkmute for actually making a product that works.
Christopher D.
First, this thing works!! We inherited my mother-in-law's 5 yo Shih-tzu. He was a scared, timid little dog. He's been adjusting, but it's been a lot of work. First, he refused to eat or drink. He refused to walk on a leash, and would not go to the bathroom. Slowly, things got better. But as 1 thing got checked off, another item was put on it. He started marking in the house, then he started hysterically barking at everything! I didn't want to traumatize him any further with a shock collar or anything, but after my ears started ringing after a hysterical barking session, I knew I had to do something. I saw the ad for this collar and decided to order it. We put it on him, and the beeping noise scared the heck out of him, so I shut that off, and just kept the vibration option on. He jumped and looked fearful for a couple minutes, but he was quiet. We only kept it on him during the times he's known to bark most often. It worked great. Now he'll growl, let out 1 bark at times, but he stops. Now when he doesn't have it on, and he begins barking, all i have to do is turn it on, and it beeps, and he stops. He is barking less often, so we are using the collar less often, and the marking issue is to a minimum. The only thing that I would suggest, is to make a smaller version for smaller dogs, and to have the device remember the settings. Always have to redo it everytime, but it is worth it!
Kim Y.
My small dog backed at everything and anything. Very friendly , always, but just wouldn't stop. He's an older dog and I didn't want ti put a shock collar on. I heard about this on Tik Tok, tried and love it. It has totally helped! It didn't hurt him just redirects his barking into calm. Thanks. Great product!
Lila W.
It took me a minute to get it set up. Once I did it was obvious it was alerting our dog something was wrong. I'm grateful to have a collar that I don't have to follow the dog around and control with the remote. She has brought mostly stopped with the high pitch bark. She might want for bark quietly but that doesn't bother me. The one that would almost jump me out of my chair is the one that I was interested in getting stopped. I will keep using it until she learns that quiet barks are okay. Loud box are not okay.
Leslie B.
We’ve tried EVERYTHING, andI water so much money on other devices. This is the “kindest” (no shocking involved) and most effective Bark collar or device we’ve used. Seriously a great answer!
Tim L.
I was kind of hesitant to believe a vibrating bark collar would do the job for my always barking dog. We have 3 Dogs. The one causes the other 2 to bark too. Since I put it on the Bark provoking dog Lady. She Instantly responded to the vibration. It did take a few trys at the Sensitivity Level. The instructions suggest to start between 1-3, and it goes up to 7.
1-3 seemed not to work. I found it worked well at 4-5. The Bark Collar responds to noise. Which is on the inside of the collar. I'm assuming closest to their vocal cords.
It took my dog 1 day by the 2nd day she knew the Vibration was from barking. I learned that she would stay away from our other 2 dogs. Because when they barked around her it would set the Collar off.
Overall I am Really Happy. Especially that it is Rechargeable.
Christina W.
I just received my BarkMute collar for my boy who SCREAMS and HOWLS whenever I leave our new apartment. He has severe separation anxiety, and my worry is that I will not be able to keep him in the apartment while I'm not home because neighbors will complain about his screaming. However, today, I was able to leave the apartment for 15ish minutes with minimal screaming from my Buddy - as you can see from the picture, he even sat down in the living room instead of screaming and jumping on the door. I have a Ring camera where I am able to monitor him while I'm gone, and I was shocked as to how well this collar works. Yes, he still vocalized at times, but it was SIGNIFICANTLY less than the time prior that I left him without the collar. I am hoping that with each use, it will get better... to the point that he doesn't need the collar anymore. I also love that this collar is humane. There's no shocking involved :) While I have only used it once, I'm very excited about this collar because it seems really promising!!
Ralph K.
I took Tiny Girl to the golf course and she only made a few low volume peeps which didn't bother anybody. I really pleased.
richard b.
Tried several training devices an this has worked the best. Bark Mute works.
Samadhi K.
It’s great, and works well!
Dawn D.
I have a busy bee for a dog, she is always in everyone's business and barking non-stop at folks walking by my house, not to mention any other animal that might cruise by. I saw this bark collar on "tic tok" and decided to give it a try. I am telling you, it's cruelty-free, it surprises my dog with vibration and a beeping sound, within two days her excessive barking and whining, is down to a minimum even when the collar is off and charging. I really do like this collar and I recommend it for dog parents who might have busy-body dogs like mine.
Dawn L.
I've had two trainers and 2 puppy classes and she always failed. This really perturbed my pup and it works. She hates the beep. Things are much better. I mean she barked at Ant farts. Thank you.
Susan M.
I cannot believe how well this worked…amazing
Sue P.
My Fox Terrier,Eli, is an obsessive barker. He was making the whole house crazy with his barking. He is an awesome dog besides this trait. A friend heard me talking about how annoyed we all were getting with Eli’s loud barking and suggested BarkMute. I bought it out of desperation and I was very skeptical it would work. My whole family is pleasantly surprised by its instant effect. We put it on Eli in the middle of one of his barking session. He felt the vibration and heard the beep and stopped. Done. It is that easy. We now just put it on him when we now he will be predisposed to his barking fits (ex. when the school buses pass by our house) and he just watches quietly but happily out of the window. This is a safe and very effect tool to help your dog control the excessive barking that can be irritating to their owners and neighbors. Great product. Thank you.
Mark G.
It’s seems to be working he barks a couple times then stops but just started using it
Mary P.
Works on my poodle mix. It seems comfortable on her. Collar response good to barking. Lightweight and well made.
Erin W.
I have a basset hound who has separation anxiety and will bark for hours non stop. I tried this collar on him for a day and a half and he was like a new dog. I took it off and he still didnt bark. I think he realized he can get my attention without needing to bark. I was absolutely amazed and happy it's such a humane way to try to train a dog
Dawn C.
Got for both our dogs. Still playing with the settings but does work.
