This app, on the other hand, is inexcusably bad. Bluetooth isn’t perfect, but it’s certainly more reliable than this app lets on. Despite being well within range, the app constantly disconnects from the collar. All of the incredible features and customizability (such as e-collar functionality) don’t matter if the collar is constantly disconnected. I love the device and the idea of the app, but the developers really need to fix the constant disconnections. I’d be happy to change my review if they do. For now, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please give us a call, and we will be happy to assist you in resolving the problem. You can reach us at 888-811-9111, Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM. ### 1/5 — APP IS TRASH *2025-09-15* The app constantly disconnects. The only resolve I have found, is to remove the app, reinstall and set up the collars again to get the app to reconnect. This is NOT A DISTANCE issue. This happens almost daily. The collars work just as well as all of my other Dogtra collars, but this app needs to be improved drastically. I’ve been buying Dogtra products for years and this is the first time I have been disappointed in this brand. Come on Dogtra, you guys need to make the “smart” actually smart. This is a fail. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The Smart No Bark collar operates via Bluetooth with about a 30-foot range—please keep this in mind when using E-Collar mode.

This morning, I saw the collar flashing red so I recharged it. Then I put it on my dog and went out for a walk. The collar’s settings reset to default and that meant it was set to max shock. My dog was freaking out from the shocks during our walk. And barks from other dogs got picked up and initiated the shock collar. I opened the app and sure enough, it was set to max. Very disappointed. **Developer response:** We are so sorry to hear this. We would like to get that system in for inspection. We can send you a replacement at no additional charge. Please call us at 888-811-9111 and we can send you a Shipping Label to return the system you have, and do another order for you for a new replacement. ### 1/5 — Constantly disconnects *2025-03-07* It could be great. My dog starts responding to the vibrations, begins to correct the behavior then the app disconnects so no stimulation and we have to street from step 1 when it decides to reconnect. Sometimes takes up to 30-45 minutes by then the lesson is done! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The Smart No Bark collar operates via Bluetooth with about a 30-foot range—please keep this in mind when using E-Collar mode. For Bark Collar mode, any settings you make will save, and the unit will continue working independently without needing to stay in range. If you need further assistance, please contact us at info@dogtrasupport.com or 1-888-811-9111, Mon–Fri, 8am–4:30pm PT. ### 2/5 — Works when it actually connects *2025-11-21* While the app does work when it detects the collar, it will only detect the collar 25% of the time. The collar is great. The app is unreliable at best. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We recommend trying the sensitivity adjustment function, as it may help improve performance. If you need assistance with adjusting the settings or have any additional questions, please feel free to contact our Product Support team at 1-888-811-9111 (M-F, 8AM-4:30PM PT). ### 2/5 — Great collar in many ways, but the bugs are next level. *2025-11-02* I’ve learned to live with the bugs inherent in the previous version, and the fact that one of my collars ALWAYS resets to one random setting I used once. This new UI was not ready for release. Please bring back the option to reset the counter on the home screen. Not only is the counter reset difficult to access, but now it does not work properly without actually turning the collar off and on again. Incredibly frustrating. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We’ve released updates to address several bugs, but if your collar is still resetting its settings, we’d like to connect you with a product specialist to resolve it — we definitely don’t want you experiencing any issues. Please reach out to our team at 1-888-811-9111 (M–F, 8 AM–4:30 PM PT) or Info@dogtrasupport.com. ### 2/5 — Collars constantly disconnect *2025-07-27* The app is great when the collars actually stay connected. I have 2 that constantly disconnect for seemingly no reason (collars are fully charged and I’m standing right next to them). There’s no way to troubleshoot either when this happens. Just have to hope it randomly connects again. This makes the e-collar function basically useless since you can’t rely on the app. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Bluetooth can have limitations with distance and obstacles. We’d love to help troubleshoot this with you—please reach out to us at info@dogtrasupport.com or 1-888-811-9111, Mon–Fri, 8am–4:30pm PT. ### 2/5 — Disconnects *2025-06-19* Would like this collar a lot better if it didn’t disconnect. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The Smart No Bark collar operates via Bluetooth with about a 30-foot range—please keep this in mind when using E-Collar mode. For Bark Collar mode, any settings you make will save, and the unit will continue working independently without needing to stay in range. If you need further assistance, please contact us at info@dogtrasupport.com or 1-888-811-9111, Mon–Fri, 8am–4:30pm PT. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2025-10-02* The disconnection issues I can deal with. I use this purely as a bark collar so I don’t care about e-collar function on the app. And as far as I can tell it works just as intended even if the app is disconnected. My issue is that the corrections I have turned on for barking and whining get turned off and the collar itself becomes useless. I don’t know if this is related to charging it but either way it’s a huge annoyance. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please give us a call, and we will be happy to assist you in resolving the problem. You can reach us at 888-811-9111, Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM. ### 5/5 — Update Solved Connection Issues *2026-01-21* The collar has been a lifesaver for training a working dog. The app itself had a lot of connection issues when we first got it, but most of those seem to have been resolved in the latest updates. We’re big fans! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please give us a call, and we will be happy to assist you in resolving the problem.

The collar lasts a long time and the app is great. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it.
