We have a small dog and she seems to have no problem. There are a number of natural sounds that actually seem relaxing to our dog. We have settled on the sea side tone for our use.

Our dog slept in our bedroom and it never seemed to bother her. We usually set it on one of the water sounds and she went right to sleep.

Our golden doodle is in our room at night and my machine is on all night. Some of the background noises for the ocean waves are birds and other beach related sounds and she sleeps like a baby!

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

The only thing you have to worry about with deer is, when they jump over it, they have a tendency to "hit it", at least in our experience, and you need to check it depending on what type of posts and "holders" you use; as to pets, they'll know it real quick; we have 3 dogs, they know where to duck and how far to duck or find another path. ANY animal can sense the electricity in it - ANY animal! They'll stay away from it; if they don't, they'll learn on the first time.

They can be pretty sensitive, depending on how they're set. A slight breeze moving a curtain can do it. A pet walking by?

My dog stops his activity that is undesirable when we use negative. With a short burst of a positive command his ears pick up but no alarmed behavior. I actually use the positive in a short burst to call him back in from outside.

There could be several things. Did the red light show that it was working? Is it possible that your dog has a bit of a hearing problem? My dog stopped and looked at me. I immediately praised her for not barking. Within in a few days, she had stopped barking most of the time, even when other dogs were barking. After about two weeks, she didn't seem as impressed with the sound; but by then, she had improved so much that I am completely satisfied. It seems to have taught her that strangers are alright on walks (or at the front door). She walks right by most people although close bicyclists can still scare her.

hi, I don't remember seeing this... *But be warned of the possibilities of it not working :( We have a dog that lives next door that makes us so miserable with his barking.... Every time the dog barked .... I also heard a HIGH PITCHED sound inside the house that was killing my ears!

I have used this for almost 2 years now.My dogs & cat don't seem to mind the sound at all.I would say it is less loud than a full size clipper.However,I would let your pet hear the sound before you start to use it on your dog/cat Let them see it,and sniff it. I love it & this is ny second one!good luck.

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

It is very quiet. I have to be in the room with to hear it. However, I would think a dog would be okay since their hearing and sense of smell is so much more acute than ours plus I think the dog would get to where it is in a very short time.

I think a blind dog would be ok with this unit. I have two cats and a Dog, all enjoy it very much. It took them a short while to get used to slight hum (to my ears, something new). Must change it when it says (weekly) or it gets slightl musty smell.

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 has a dial on the side that turns (you can barely see it in the photo). Each setting is gone through to get to the next. The settings are "Off", "Test"- will make "the sound" regardless of barking or not (I wish there was some way to get past this with out making "the sound"), next is low which requires the most noise to set the correction off. After that is Med which I find sets off with the some sounds of talking, so that doesn't work for my household. And last on the dial is High, which is so sensitive that talking and noises around the house set it off which it make this setting useless to me.

Human's aren't supposed to hear the sound it emits. Only dogs. Is there a test mode?

Yes some make a sound louder than others. I think they run on different frequencies. I've never had any pest in my whole yard so they all work. I know they work because I notice the holes in my neighbor's yards. They all wonder why I don't have any holes and I tell them gophers don't like little dogs. I haven't even told my kids what they are.

I don't know, my dog likes to "talk" and by that I mean his actual bark is very loud and very deep but he likes to make noise to get your attention that can be heard from the 2nd floor even when he's outside and the windows are closed and it doesn't seem to deter him or pick up those tones, I'm not sure which.
