Customer Rating: Summary: Almost works Comment: We were excited to find a product that could help with the barking of our two puppies. We set it up as soon as we received it. It worked very well for the first week. Then the battery went dead and we when realized it, we replaced it. However it was too late. The puppies no longer care if it is on or off. So we will start looking again, for nother method. Very disappointed.............. Customer Rating: Summary: Works great...but on the wrong dog! Comment: I have three dogs but only one is a problem barker. The dog that doesn't bark is terrified to stay outside when this is on but the barker is totally unfazed by it. The third does not seem to be affected by it much either. I guess it's not the fault of the product but just a crazy dog. Customer Rating: Summary: Doesn't work on my terriers. Comment: I have two Fox terriers and had been using one of these for a couple of months. I thought it might be working but not covering enough area of the yard, so I purchased a second one. Mistake. Turned out I was wrong. Dogs are barking as much as ever. : ( Customer Rating: Summary: Worked for a while Comment: We bought this product about a month ago to try to deter both of our big dogs from barking all day while we were gone as well as to stop the neighbor's dog from constantly yipping. It worked on our larger dog (great pryenese) for about a week but once he got used to it, he has been able to totally ignore it and keep on barking. It did not work at all for our golden retriever who just barked louder! It also had no effect on the neighbor's dog either. I wish we would have purchased the citronella collars instead! Customer Rating: Summary: Great for some (but not all) dogs! Comment: I foster three dogs (including a feral mother) and have a dog of my own. Two of the three fosters are notorious night-time barkers, and I've tried just about every product out there to stop their barking and to regain civil relations with my neighbors. Everything from scolding to even shock collars (which worked for one until she wore a hole in her skin from scratching at the collar), but catching the feral mother to put on a collar was impossible.
I was somewhat dubious about the effectiveness of this product, given the mixed reviews. However, desperate for sleep, I gave it a chance. I'm definitely glad I did! The feral mother's nervous barking is a thing of the past. The other foster dog's barking is markedly improved. It's not entirely gone, but mostly -- which is livable.
Two reasons I've marked this product down slightly: My own dog (65 pounds and a habitual barker, when she's outside) seems oblivious to the sound. It's not so much a problem since I just bring her inside. Still, she doesn't even notice it. The other reason is that it tends to go through the batteries. Then again, with three barkers, what can I expect. At least they're 9V batteries.
I have such a huge back yard that I'm actually thinking of buying a second one, since the range is not as large as my yard. I love the fact that this is battery operated, so I don't need to worry about electric cords, etc.
Overall, I'd recommend this product for smaller dogs (my fosters are all about 40-45 pounds).
