Product Description
The safe, effective way to stop excessive barking. When used according to instructions, the Innotek Free Spirit No-Bark Collar automatically detects barking and discourages it by delivering a brief, harmless electronic stimulation. Since it senses the vibrations produced by the dog's vocal cords, the No-Bark Collar is activated only by the bark of the dog that is wearing the collar. When your dog first barks, he receives a Level 1 stimulation. A two-second learning timeout follows, to give your dog a chance to associate the bark with the stimulation. If your dog barks again, he will receive a Level 2 stimulation, followed by another timeout. The Auto-Set design automatically increases the stimulation through as many as seven levels until your dog stops barking. The collar is designed to protect your dog from over-stimulation. If your dog stops barking after receiving a Level 4 stimulation, after a five minute bark-free period, the collar automatically sets the next stimulation back one level, in this case Level 3. At its next bark, the dog would receive a Level 3 stimulation, a warning level that it should recognize. The Auto-Set feature is fair to the dog. Should it stop barking at the warning level, it could soon wean itself down to the lowest level of stimulation. Your dog will soon learn that the best way to avoid stimulation is to stay quiet. Some dogs learn faster than others, so be patient.

Innotek BC-50B Free-Spirit Automatic No-Bark Dog Collar
I ordered a rechargable item, but it is not. Furthermore, the battery that came with it lasted less than a day.
 Works GREAT but.... August 3, 2008

The collar did an excellent job of correcting our terrier (noisy) puppy. However the battery that came with it died the first week and I found out the replacement batteries cost 10 bucks apiece. That added an extra cost to the "good price" I had gotten.
 It Works! July 31, 2008
I bought this for my dog who barks at everything. Even dogs barking in movies I am watching. After I put it on him I took him outside where he does most of his barking. I heard him bark several times and thought it wasn't working although he did run inside. Later in the house he barked at a tv sound and after about the third bark he did a funny flip and ran over beside me. It does work. He now hesitates before he barks. I just got this last night.
The one thing I would say is you have to know your dogs personality. My dogs are pretty compliant. They learn quickly so things like this work on them. There are some dogs who are very stubborn and refuse to learn. Observe your dogs personality and it will probably work for you. It is not cruel. It would be cruel to have to get rid of a wonderful dog over something that, with patience, can be controlled.
 Still Barking July 28, 2008
After reading all the reviews, I thought this product seemed great. Everyone said that they only had to use the collar a few times, and the dog picked up that they should not bark anymore. My dog just loves to bark; I know the collar is shocking him because he jumps and makes a yelping sound, but he continues to bark until the collar reaches maximum shocking capacity. When the collar is on maximum, the shock sends his 12 pound body to jump and convulse, and he makes a screaming sound that is very scary. As soon as I take the collar off (because this just seems like torture), he returns to barking. He barks at all other dogs, except for his friend dogs. This collar is a failure for my dog's barking issue.
Peace at last! July 27, 2008
I didn't want to buy 'zap' collars for my 3 dogs but, after moving into an apartment and having a miserable failure with a ultrasonic device, I was left no choice...I even paid for overnight shipping I was that desperate. It was a little disconcerting seeing their initial reaction to being shocked but, man did they learn quick....it's a pleasure now when I leave the apartment, I just put on the collars which is like a psychological device more than anything now, meaning "oh my collar's going on, daddy's going out!"...they don't bark at all now when I leave, and even without the collars, they bark so much less generally.
All in all, I would give this product the big thumbs up, the only negative is that I think that the electrodes are a little sharp but, that's probably just me being a pathetic canine father :(
