Why is my bark control collar not working?

I bought the Petsafe Bark Control Collar today for my pomeranian as a last resort to keep her tame while walking her. I put the collar on as tight as it could safely go (snug), and was told by the instruction pamphlet to "trim" her hair on the connection points. So, I cut her hair down to the skin on her neck where the connection points sit, and it doesn't work. Before I cut her hair I tested it out and it seemed to work once, where she barked and flinched. Since that one time, it hasn't worked at all, and the battery is fine because it says to test it until you hear a beep, and it beeps fine. Also, it automatically adjusts itself to the dog's bark, so there is no manual adjusting that can be made. Any suggestions? Has anyone else tried this collar and received similar results? I've followed every direction that was given in the book.

Make sure it is sitting on your dog's vocal cords, A dog I fostered once came with one and it wouldn't work sometimes because it wasn't on his vocal cords. If your dog will bark on command or you know how to make her bark hold her neck while she does it place the collar at the part that vibrated the most, otherwise her bark wont be strong enough to make it work.

Edit- Before all the animal activist get to you, they are perfectly safe and should be used only as a last measure, some dogs do require them. We have an aggressive one we have to use one on, if we didn't he would require putting down, sometimes these collars can fix things nothing else can.

Stop Your Dog's Excessive Barking

Barking is a dog's natural form of communication and is expected to be a regular occurrence in any dog owner's home. Excessive barking, however. cannot be accepted. Not only will this problem cost you sleep, but the friendships of your neighbors as well. Excessive barking occurs for many reasons. Your pooch may be bored, have separation anxiety, or just really hate it whenever anyone approaches their territory. To be effective in your quest to stop the barking, you need to uncover the reason behind all the noise. The following tips should help you identify and correct the problem.

1. Often times, excessive barking is caused by a physical need. When Rover´s barking becomes excessive, double check to see if there are any physical needs that should be attended to. Is the weather turning cold? Try a warm bed for your canine friend. Is the weather turning warmer and increasing your dog's need for water? Try a water bowl that dispenses fresh water automatically through the day.

2. Boredom is a common cause of excessive barking. Luckily this is one of the easiest problems to fix. Give Rover some new toys and rotate the ones he has access to frequently. It's nice to be able to bring out a toy that is fresh when your pooch starts to get bored. You can also try giving your dog more exercise. Use a long leash that gives him room to roam and give him ample time run and play.

3. If the sight of strangers triggers the barking, do your best to eliminate the temptation. Try leaving him in a large exercise pen that gives your dog enough room to run. Place the pen in a location in your yard that will restrict his view of passers by. For an inside dog, keep the curtains closed and try exterior blinds.

Next time Rover begins to bark excessively, look at all the factors and try to determine the root cause of his discontent. The above tips should help you remedy the problem in no time.

All dogs are different and yours may be barking for a variety of reasons. If you thought an exercise pen was the answer, but your pooch is still barking try adding some new toys to the pen as well. You can also try using a bark collar, they are safe, humane and very effective
