Will this deter my stubborn labradoodle from chasing cars?

I bought it for a stubborn Miniature Pincher that thinks he is a Doberman. It worked wonders and the vibration feature is enough to make him rethink and consider obedience. It works well and I am satisfied with the results.

I rescued a Bernese mountain dog at 7 months old, she was a complete mess. She was caged in a pet store her whole life....she's a big dog so you could imagine I'm sure how bad that would be to sit in a small crate. Her back legs were bowed and she was completely un-socialized. When we got her home, I struggled with her jumping on people and not just a quick jump up, she would run and jump run and jump and bite your sleeves and pull. She was so excited to be free that she went wild. I struggled with this behavior for two months, brought her to a trainer for one and no real results. I couldn't have people over unless I put her outside because she wouldn't stop. She is a gentle loving dog but she didn't learn her boundaries. I was afraid I had to give her up being that I have three kids and I didn't want her to accidentally hurt them. I was desperate. I saw some reviews on this and thought I would try one last attempt. When I say she's a completely different dog now, I mean she is a completely different dog! She had run out of the yard once and took off down the street full speed lol, I called her and used the collar and said come and she snapped out of it and came back. I only used the actual shock setting twice (two different situations) and after that I only used the vibration mode and it was enough to make her snap out of it. If it wasn't for the collar I would have had to give her up. I highly recommend it. Hope that helps your descion:)

It all depends. The collar does kinda "snap them out of" whatever the distraction might be and then they are ready to listen to your command. Remember, its a training tool. It will take time and patience. Make sure you fully charge the collar before you put it on and make sure the probes are as close as you can to skin. I have a husky and because she has such thick fur, sometimes she didnt respond to the collar. They do turn into different dogs as soon as you start to use the collar for training. I would recommend it.

Yes, the seatbelt will still lock. The restraints on the side that click into the car seat anchors restrict the movement also though. My dog does manage to lie down anyway, but I do feel like he is much more protected than before.

I have labs that pull also. This collar prevents the dog from backing out of it and getting loose. Mine still pulled with this collar. My vet recommended the easy walk harness and it works like a charm. It makes it difficult for them to pull because the strap crosses over their front legs. Amazon has the best prices!!

If the harness is correctly installed in the car, it should limit movement to the window. Our dog is very hyper and the harness limits his movements. We are very pleased with the ease of loading and unloading our dog from the car with the harness. We have been pleased.

It might. It did not stop my dig from jumping the fence. But it did keep my cousins dog from wondering too far off on the beach.

I think it will, you just have to use it as soon as your dog tries to go over the wall. Its best to hide the can behind your back so when you spray it it will surprise your dog and snap its mind off of what there doing and they want to investigate where the sound came from. You have to be consistent some dogs are very stubborn so every time they go to do the unwanted behavior you have to use the spray. All dogs are different but I do think it could help you.

My golden male will chase other smaller dogs. The Dogtra will stop him immediately. Hope it works for you

I use it for my dachshund, other big dogs bark next to her and play with her and it doesn't go off. But if she wears it inside the car and the door gets shut really loud it goes off. Don't knowing that helps your question!

I believe so! Honestly, we have a husky, they are known for their escapist skills. When she has the collar on, she stays still in the safe area and doesn't even approach the restricted one. She used to climb or dig under the fence just to get out. Since we bought this fence over a year ago, we have never had to worry about her getting out again. And she truly got shocked only once, that was enough for her to remember what comes after the beep. Good luck!

I never had that happen with my dog. He was always trying to drag me behind him when we went walking but this has stopped that completely for me.

I have a honda pilot and it work for me. I do need to assist my dogs with a leash up the upper part of the ramp. I used it every time I take my dogs out in the pilot I can not lift my dogs into the car. The ramp is only way that I can get my lab into the car. (Initially my dogs did not like the ramp but they know it is only way they can get into the car)

I have a great dane puppy that is now 8 months old...she runs off and i am very scared that she will get hit by a car. I am more concerned because my son runs after her. will this work on a bigger dog? she weighs about 80+ pounds

Dash, I believe it would STOP just like if a person was in it when it was given a jerk. It doesn't really even move the belt or 'give' when the dog walks around. It's pretty secure. In fact, it's SO secure that it's really hard to take it off to move it to a different car. The velcro is like glue. I trust it completely.

This device does not cover or control the mouth of the dog, so I don't think it would prevent nipping. Instead it discourages the dog from pulling ahead on the leash.

Yes, but you might want to invest in stronger bungees. We have two Labs, and so far the EZ Pet Barrier has worked perfectly, even with the smaller bungees that came with it.

Truthfully, I have only used it to get my daughter's aging Labrador in and out of my Jeep. The end has a grip that keeps the ramp from slipping off the tail gate. I suppose you could use it to help your dog get on the bed, but you'll have to make sure that enogh of the ramp is on the bed, itself, and will not slip sideways.

I suspect that it would, but I can't be certain. We used it to keep our very large dogs from going under a fence that was a bit too elevated around our corner lot property borders. We needed to close off about 4-5 inches and discourage dogs from being tempted to dig. It worked beautifully. However, since we weren't using this border alone, I couldn't say. How tall is your dog? If you anchor these all the way down, the dog might be able to jump over. If you leave it more elevated, the dog might be able to push it over.
