Review title: PetSafe PBC-1000 (Chinese) bark control device Totally unsatisfactory
Product review: This device is poorly made and totally unsatisfactory in every respect.The instructions direct you to "turn the device off" when not at home.But THERE IS NO ON/OFF switch.The battery must be disconnected. (A must since the device EATS batteries.) A Royal Pain,as the connectors are cheap and will become damaged unless extreme caution is exercised. Another shoddy Chinese product.But the real problem is that the device doesn't work! Unless you hold the device a foot from your pet's ear when he barks, the animal just glances at it and keeps on barking. At least that is the case with my Yorkie and Poodle. A total waste of time. The cardboard box it came in was more effective, when used as a paddle on their rears. Waste of money and time. I'm looking for a Made in USA product that actually does what it promises, and informs me of its shortcomings up-front. (No switch).
