Spray Collars (Masterplus Pro & Aboistop)
- Do they really work?
Yes! Both the Masterplus Pro and the Aboistop have proved very effective for treating dog behaviour problems. However, we cannot guarantee that they will work on absolutely every dog and so we offer a seven day try out period for you to assess the product on your dog. This will be more than enough time to tell if the product is having the desired effect. If you find that the product is not suitable for your dog within the seven days, return it to us and we will be more than happy to refund your money less the consumable items.

- Do they hurt?
No the collars do not hurt at all. They use an inert gas to produce the spray and are completely harmless. The only action the collar has is a spray and no electric shocks or choking.
- I am interested in the anti-bark collar but my dog only weighs about 4kg. Is my dog too small for the collar?
The Aboistop Compact is a smaller version of anti-bark collar and is designed for dogs which weigh less than 8kg. If your dog is particularly small then the collars might be too much for them. The collar weighs about 100g when full with spray so if you are unsure you could try hanging an object of a similar weight around your dog's neck to see how he copes with it.
- How much does the Masterplus Pro weigh when full and what are the dimensions?
The Masterplus Pro weighs approximately 100g when full and the dimensions are approximately 6cm x 4cm x 3.5cm.
- Is the Masterplus Pro waterproof?
Yes it is waterproof to a depth of approximately 1m.
- Does the Masterplus Pro turn on and off?
Yes, the Masterplus Pro has a an on/off switch so you can leave the battery in when not using it. However, if you do not intend using the collar for prolonged periods of time we recommend that you do take the battery out.
- I have lost the battery cover. Can I get a replacement?
- I have lost the aerial for the original verison of the Masterplus. Can I get a replacement?
This now a discontinued line from us. However, the UK Distributor (The Company of Animals) might be able to help you - phone on 01932 566696.
- I need a new cloth collar for my Masterplus Pro. Do you stock them?
- Is the Masterplus Pro suitable for treating behaviour problems such as jumping up and chasing?
Yes the collar can be used for treating a variety of behaviour problems including chasing/recall, stealing, chewing and jumping up. It can successfully be used for any problem which can be treated by means of a distraction.
- Can the Aboistop be used on my dog when he barks in the car?
Yes the Aboistop is very effective for dogs which bark in the car. It is useful for any situation where your dog is displaying excessive barking.
- Can the Aboistop be used for howling or snarling?
The Aboistop spray is triggered by a microphone and this is configured for the noise of barking. Howling and snarling are different kinds of sound so the spray is not guaranteed to be triggered in these instances.
- Is the Aboistop waterproof?
No it is not waterproof. The unit works by means of a microphone activating the spray so water will enter into the unit at location of the microphone.
- Can I try the product out to see if it works on my dog?
Yes we offer a seven day try out period for Masterplus Pro, Aboistop Compact and Aboistop Standard.
