I'd say at least a year+. Or better yet, never.
If your dog's a barker, I would suggest proper training and spending some time with the dog. Sign up to Dog Training classes, or hire a dog trainer or behaviourist. Understand that it is natural for dogs to bark sometimes as this is often the easiest way they can communicate with people. Don't depend on a device that a dog cannot even understand. Some people go overboard with the shocking, which is cruel.

Is a shock collar a good training method?
Yes they can be very effective and pretty harmless. Some dogs who are neurotic can be affected negatively by them though .If you have a pretty mentally stabe dog then i recommend them . As long as your getting an electric fence and not tryin to torture your dog :] 2nd Answer: Play and pats are the best training method. If you are training a dog not to bark, then a shock collar is appropriate. Many dogs simply ignore the spray collars. BUT, if you use a shock collar, follow the dog around on the few times that you use it, and firmly command, "No Bark!" along with the shock. In short order, it will learn to obey your voice command. Unless it is a border collie, etc, which will also quickly learn when it has the shock collar on, and when it doesn't. When using the shock collar, you most likely will have to remove the regular collar with the dog's name and rabies tags . . . BE CAREFUL to not let the dog get away from you. Do not leave the dog unattended with the shock collar on and turned on! Most important be sure you KNOW what you are doing and how to handle the shock collar properly before you use it on your dog.

Shock anti bark aren't the best choice. They have only a 20% effectiveness, compared to citronella collars which are four times as effective. I have seen shock collars malfunction and burn the dog, not this particular brand, but a shock collar none-the-less. You also should be concerned about the cause of your dog's barking. If your dog is at all anxious or nervious, an aversive like a shock collar can damage them psychologically and make their barking problem even worse.
