Depends on the dog. Our lab will start barking after he figures out that it's off. We didn't start using it until he was five years old though.

Hey Trish, my dog (a black lab) seems to respond more to the noise than the shock itself. If the noise does not work well for you dog try to put the shock to the highest to see if it works. Hopes this helps :D

In my opinion, yes. Ask a trainer or behaviorist for help with barking or maybe get a citronella spray collar

I seriously doubt it. The feature that I liked about the collar is that it gives a warning before it shocks. kThus my Pointer has learned that she can get away with one bark without being shocked. If she persists, then she gets shocked. The collar is activated by vibration. The collar is a great one, and I recommend it, but you might be better off with one that you trigger when the irritating activity occurs.

It worked on my neighbor's dogs for me. Almost every evening at about the same time, my neighbor's four dogs would howl. Sort of like they would if a siren was going off somewhere. I placed this product on the fence post toward the dogs, and they stopped howling right away, with some wanting to howl, but stopped.

Yes it will, but I only saw two dogs react to it. Little ones, not big dogs. I am NOT a dog lover, so the best description I can give you is a 2 to 5 pound dog, each. They love to urinate towards the front of the house and bark, but with this on they rub their ears with their paw, sneeze, and walk away fast. No harm at all, just irritating to them. But, please be careful as if you stay there long enough, the sound won't get you right away, but will definitaly turn your stomach. Put it on and then leave, covers a wide space.

I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process. It also worked on a pitbull puppy that I was helping my daughter train to walk on a lease. He also learned quickly. I think the product is great and would recommend it to anyone. It must be used correctly though ( I watched the DVD several times before each lesson to make sure I was following MY directions for proper technique and consistency ) and ONLY with just enough force to get the results. Good luck with your puppy :) I believe that it would...it is based on both verbal and hand signals. The collar gives a slight bite when used correctly and with my dogs it was a very quick process.

It might, but I'd ask your vet first. There could be other issues going on. If it's behavioral rather than a medical problem, I think the collar is worth a try.

Yes, if the window and the dog are close enough as they need to be when there's no window or wall between you and the dog. I've used it within my home for that purpose. I try to yell "No" loudly enough near the window for her to associate the command with the collar stimulus. Ultimately, I want her to respond to a voice command because sometimes I do want her to bark for security purposes.

Yes it will! My dog is very excitable but I have taught her to calm down with this device. However, no device works without you doing something along with it. It is a teaching aid that I use along with treats. What it does, is get your dog's attention!

I have not used it for that purpose as my dog is always quiet. However, I think it should work very well, as long as you blew it every time the dog was vocal. I think it would really get the dogs attention. Probably wouldn't hurt if you followed up with a treat to reinforce the being quiet after the whistle was blown.

I think it would. It's a behavior spray. I use it for my dogs barking. It is very effective. Even the sight of it now can get them to stop. It's definitely worth a try. Good luck!

OF COURSE,It won't. When your dog barks,the warning tone reminds your pet without immediately applying painful stimulus.At each step,your dog gets to choose whether it's worth the increasing pain to bark again.We have found this technique of progressively increasing sound and shock is not only more humane,it is more EFFECTIVE in breaking the barking habit than conventional shocking bark control collars. PETINER can be adjusted to control the sensitivity of the voice,according to the size of dogs barking.

It seems to only be activated by the dog closest to the collar. I've barked loudly right next to my dog and it has not gone off. But it has gone off without anyone including my dog barking, so it is a little unpredictable.

no, but it would be nice if it did. you need to make your dog think the tone is your voice or your command

Happy Traveler could be a "tool" for you in this case, however it sounds like you need to find a trainer that deals with reactive dogs (dogs that bark and growl at other dogs, people etc...). Training along with using Happy Traveler may help you. Good luck!!
