My dog(female) Corgi , Mix. Barks a lot when mail person brings mail and also when the garbage truck comes by. Will it help to stop the barking?

I personally don't think so.I have a shorkie (shi-tzu yorkie mix) and the jacket didn't work at all on her.I live in Texas and we have had bad weather lately didn't help with the anxiety nor did benadryl.However I think I ordered the vest to large I got a small and she weighs 11 pounds and the jacket is to big.I beleive corgi's and shi-tzu are about the same size so make sure you choose the right size if you decide to buy.

Its a funny thing. Our Chihuahua and large mixed-breed hound never were afraid of any noises. All of a sudden they both became terrified of thunder, lightning, loud mufflers, motorcycles, etc. You know the type of noise. We purchased the Thunder Shirts and it seems that all those noises and weather have ceased. The dogs haven't had the chance to wear them yet! Honestly!

It only help with anxiety issues, not behavioral issues. My dog still barks at people who come to the door, even when wearing wearing it, Sorry.

I cannot guarantee it will help but I can say I have a similar shirt for my dog and it does help him. I would ask your dog's veterinarian or I have icluded the American Kennel Club contact page since it is their product. https://www.apps.akc.org/apps/contact/index.cfm. Hope this helps.

Good Luck .....the coat is amazing for my Bichon Frise. He got scared of thunder storms after we had a terrible hail storm on our metal carport. He shivers and shakes & if you ask him he will come and stand ready for you to put on the coat. The coat is for when they are scared. When the storm is over he comes for you to take it off. I don't think this would help barking at all. Have you tried clicker training. It works real well for teaching things. Never raise your voice to her always ask for calm and pet her and ask for calm & you be very calm then too. If she quits barking treat her & praise her never treat till she calms down. Say "no bark" in a calm and assertive voice. Never baby talk them that only excited them when your teaching. Be sure you have eye contact. Redirect if you have too. I use Ceasar Milano's training & believe me it works so well. I was always getting way to excited and they read you like a book. Usually my dog problem is me Not my sweet & darling Herbie. Love Corgi's that was Tasha Tutors favorite & they are so smart. Hope this helps. Elaine in a flooding TEXAS! God bless us all.

This coat helps anxiety, but I doubt it would do much to stop your Corgi's barking. There are other products sold for that, but well-timed calm reassurance from you may be a start. I appreciate my dog's "watchdog announcements" but am guessing yours is excessive. Good luck!

Yes it does. Also, remember, 1 dog will growl and bark and as the intruder gets nearer both dogs start barking at a louder and meaner bark. It takes a while to get it set. I had set it in 1 place by the back door and each time I walked into the kitchen it would set it off. I changed it's position and using the microwave set it off. Now, just the dishwashing machine sets it off. But you just have to work at getting it in the right place and setting the sensitivity level. Once you get it set right, it will be well worth it.

According to the instructions that come with it, that is what it is designed for. The tone of the whistle can be adjusted. I think why it won't work for our neighbor's barking dog is that we cannot be consistent about using it, since the barking is also during the day when we aren't home, and we don't stand in the door/window for hours on end in the evenings. It definitely gets the dog's attention, so I would think, with consistency in training, it would work. Hope this helps.

I am not sure of the answer. Mine seems to pick up the deep bark of a big dog, but even with fairly high sensitivity doesn't pick up the yap of a little dog. Same with the results---it seems to work on the bigger dog, but not the little dog next door....Maybe some dogs are stupid and don't equate the dog silencer noise with the barking? Overall, it seems like it has some effect on the neighbor's dogs since they tend to go to the other side of their house to bark more often!

I've never tried it with this kind of behavior...just barking, but I imagine it will work for your situation. I would definitely try it.

it seems to work when the dogs bark. we have two and the one closest to the street sometimes is set off by passing louder vehicles. since I can't hear the frequency, I don't know if it activates more than it should.

Mine worked for a couple of weeks on barking and any noise the Bichon made near it. He would cock his head and stop. But it doesn't work anymore. He barks again all the time. And it never worked for the Maltese...

Possibly. This is an ultrasonic device so it will depend upon if your dog is responsive to the noise.

It should effectively stop her nuisance barking most of the time. This is not to say that your dog might not try to test the unit. I suggest you start with the vibe option and progress to the shock from there as necessary. Do not over sensitize the unit as it may give false shocks. Your dog has a thick coat so it might require some thinning of the neck hair. I have found that it is more important to have the collar relatively tight and the unit positioned properly under the chin on the upper part of the neck. A little experimentation helps as each situation is slightly different. I have an attention barking Yellow Lab of 105lbs. and it works on him.

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 think you would have to couple the sound with a quick jerk on the leash. In other words, hit the device and quickly give her a sharp jerk and tell her "down." That way she will tie the sound to the down command. Over time, you should be able to just tell her "down" and in order to avoid the sound, she will comply. It does work well for barking, but I also couple it with "quiet!" then a quick blast on the device. They are now at the point where just telling them "quiet" gets the desired response.

The clicker is a supplement to training. THIS IS JUST US. We used it to get the have our dog associate the clicker noise with a command, such as sit. Once the dog learned that and other commands we no longer use the clicker. From what we understand, a dog barking at others is just social behavior. The way we "cured it" is by getting our dogs to obey other commands, such as sit or stay. Good luck

Honestly every dog is different but this has helped with my Springer Spaniel who has a similar problem. I either use the vibrate setting or a low shock setting (if she really isn't listening) and she instantly listens and returns back to me.

I said no, as I do not have a dog who barks constantly. I would go to his website and read the FAQ's, I believe he addresses the issue

Here is a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) - it might work. Our Rex is pointed out our front door and if I run up to the door (not what I think a cougar would do) it doesn't bark until I'm right by the door (which seems a bit late to me). If I tarry in the driveway, about 15 feet from the door and talk with someone (like a stealthy cougar slowly approaching?) Rex eventually catches on and starts barking. My theory is that the further away the cougar is when the barking starts, the better the cougar is deterred. And my theory is the cougar would approach slowly. Ideally your cougar friend would have a fear of dogs. Now if the cougar considers dogs yummy, then Rex could be an attractant!

Not sure since I can not hear. I got a co2 BB pistol and kept by my chair. A lot louder and I know it went off. Sure breaks their attention and stops the barking and they learned I was unhappy when that noise sounded. I think if you used it manually I might work better. I think Associating the noise and you being unhappy with the barking is what will give a permanent fix. If my dogs were big enough I would get a shock collar. My dogs 5 lbs and can not find a shock collar that small

Arika, I have had my Ultrasonic Bark Deterrent about 3 weeks now, and it began to work immediately for my female (mid sized dog/Australian Shepherd). I believe it would help with the whining based on placement of the device. My neighbors have smaller dogs (Yorki sized), have purchased the same unit as they have seen the results from my purchase, and they simply have the device lower to the dogs, as their yips are not as loud as my dogs' barks were, and they have been 100% pleased with their results as well. I hope this information has been helpful to you.
