Anybody try these one a dutch shepherd or german shepherd that has pointed ears? Does it bother them have their ears bent-down underneath the muff?

Our dog is a German Shepherd with pointed ears. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all. He doesn't try to remove the Mutt Muffs. They took a little getting used to at first. Now he wears his Mutt Muffs whenever we wear our ear protection.

I don't think it bothers them, i had them on my Shepard mix but I didn't leave them on too long as they didn't really work for him (he ist terrified of fireworks and that is why i got them, but they didn't help.

Actually, the product comes with a warning concerning daschunds. It is not good for them unless they always lie on their backs. Better for shorter dogs really. Unless your sausage dog is content on his back for hours on end. I wouldnt recommend.

Yes, the sound hurts some pets hearing. I strike away from then apply end for just a bit-mostly use on me near them and watch to see if they can handle sound. Hope that helps

I stopped using mine in favor of klipsh which is redesigned to embed deep in ear and doesn't require the around ear support of the B&W.; There is no distortion except when pulling the wires on something abrasive, lke a zipper.

I have had dogs ride in the car; they never exhibited signs of discomfort or agitation related to the use of the whistles. We have to take the manufacturers word for it that these work, since you can't hear the whistle either. That said, I've never hit a deer with the whistles on.

I have worn them for years and never had that problem. I have also had the custom fitted ones that an audiologist makes with a mold of your ear canal and they do not stick out but cost in the range of $200. For both of those I have used them for playing in bands where hearing at a diminished level is required. For just loud noise like small engines I use the ear muffs or the form-able silicon that you can buy at most drug stores which does not stick out.

If I were you, I would purchase the puffed lambs ears. They are larger in size. I have an Italian Greyhound and give her the puffed lambs ears. I just cut them in half and give her a smaller piece at a time. She really enjoys them!

I have two Yorkies, and they pay no attention to the noise, but your dog could be different. Just remember you could try it and send back if too annoying. In my book nothing is more annoying that gophers destroying your landscaping!

How are your pet ears? I bought a midium size for my spaniel breton with floppy ears and I think the big size would have been a better choize. (he is about 20 kilos smaller than a labrador retriever) I use to put his ears inside the cups but anyhow they don´t fit perfectly, but he can hear less this way. Thus is his ears made the first layer and then the cup...I ordered them delivered to Spain so I didn´t give them back but I am sure the big side would help my dog much more against fireworks

MFG DEFECT. I would not attempt to impose a new 5 degree bend. you could break the ear off completely plus blemish the finish. either live with it or send it back to MFG.

It depends on the ear. For me I find myself adjusting the piece with out the hook. I switched to the hook and round ear bud combo and it cut it down significantly

My mom found that to be the case in her house. all of mine bark and it didnt work at all for them. My mom used it and it really bothered one of her dogs. She has 2 Afghan hounds that are pretty sensitive to everything!

I disagree here. The earpieces do swivel on the curved headset piece. Quite a bit of swivel from top to bottom and a bit from side to side. They adjust nicely to fit your head.

They are soft and make no sound, your dog will be comfortable in them, mine is and doesn't mind them at all.A very good product. Good luck.

On my Dutch Shepherd and Shepherd Mix it works great , however your dog will have to get used to the sucking noise.

Hey yes you can, although I have found that this only works on some dogs. I have a German Shepherd and she is very sensitive to it so correction is easy, however my neighbor has a yippy little hamster dog that pays no mind to the correction. If you purchase it keep in mind that it may not even phase the dog depending on hearing sensitivity.

I called up the manufacturer because my dog ate some of the ear bud tips. They sent me a bunch at no charge. My best guess is that they'll work with you. Regarding the sound deterioration, I haven't yet had that problem although I've been using mine for about a year. I have found that minuscule amounts of water in your ears end up inside the ear buds and destroy especially the lows. Putting moisturizer in my ears before a swim keeps a tight seal.
