what does the pet agree do, stop barking, stay in the yard?

This is a "training aid" as advertised. I used it to get my dog to stop pulling on the leash. When he started to pull, I pressed the button. Apparently, the noise (which I couldn't hear) distracted him. I called him to me and gave a treat. Soon, he associated the noise with a treat. I gradually reduced the frequency of the treats and he just responded to the sound and my command, "Stop pulling." Then, I stopped using the device and he responded to the command only. You really have to work with the dog. There is no magic device or solution to pulling, barking or running off. I tried "Bark Genie" because my dog barked constantly while in the yard. That didn't work at all. At least this device is effective is used correctly along with training.

I find my dog behaves much better. When she is outside and barks, it makes her think twice and she stops. It also makes the dogs irritating her behave too. She is like another dog and getting better as time goes by.

why are you trying to coop up a Pyranees? They are roaming/working dogs. They are not destructive and they WILL NOT mess where they live unless they have to. Mine will not even go in the yard, he uses the outside perimeter only.

My neighbor's dog is a mutt, which constantly barks. As I stated before to other people purchasing this item. It does work because my neighbor's dog has quit barking about 85 to 95%. Also remember that if people are cutting the lawn next to you, make sure you disconnect the machine, because that is not going to stop the dog from barking. My neighbor's dog has learned to go bark on the other side of the house, that's how good this thing works. I'm very satisfied with it.

No, this spray must be used on the animal to stop it's behavior. It does not work when sprayed on fences, etc.

I sent the thing back. It didn't work at all from a distance of 40 feet. My best advice in dealing with barking dogs is call the police. There are laws concerning this behavior.

I'm sorry Deb I have never tested that I was trying to get our dog to stop barking when he was in the house and looking out the window. That worked GREAT

The dogs WILL hear it and, as in my neighborhood,they will probably bark more.You can buy things that will bother their they're ears (not permanently just while they are barking).Look up NO BARK PRODUCTS.GOOD LUCK

It will help with howling but not whining/wimpering. If the dog is more than 30 to 40 feet away from the unit, it might not work. If nothing else, the dog will probably avoid that area but still bark on the other side of the yard.

If you leave it on all the time they become able to ignore it. We only put it on when we don't want them to bark like when we have more traffic in the house or yard than usual.

Some dogs learn not to bark. Our dog is a difficult dog and didn't learn to stop barking. We use it when he goes outside so he won't disturb the neighbors with his barking. We use it inside when we need to take a nap or at nightime or when we don't want to hear him barking. Overall, it solved a huge problem we were having. Our dog was driving our neighbors crazy with his barking and it was causing us a lot of stress. This device doesn't hurt the dog.

My neighbor's dog doesn't seem to be bothered by it. He walks by at least twice a day. He is a poodle, lab mix.

Not sure I don't keep it on him. His biggest problem is on weekends when neighbors are out. He didn't bark the entire day when wearing the collar. Only use vibrate and it works.

I say,"No Barking!" and then press the button. I don't hold it down any longer than a second. It gets their attention. Sometimes if I just show them the "clicker", they stop barking. Other times, they don't stop barking at all if they are really motivated to bark, like at a cat, or at someone walking a dog by the house. So, I've had mixed results.

This device works via sonic waves. Any barrier between the device and the dog will absorb and lessen those waves. If your barking dog is nearby, the sonic waves will still have an effect if sent thru a glass pane but if the dog is at the outer range of the 50 foot effective area, the Bark Free will not be effective. It is best to have no barrier or any sort between the dog and the Bark Free. That means fences, bushes, trees, windows....anything that will absorb sound waves will lessen the effectiveness. I kept my unit outside a second floor window, pointed downward so nothing was between it and the neighbor's dog and it worked wonderfully.

She ran away and hid in her crate actually in the smaller dogs crate and didn't want to leave the tight space.She seems ok today and is barking again. We sprayed as directed for barking. No harm was done to the dog she just seemed petrified. We will try again today if there is a lot of barking. Thank you for the answers!
