Will it work on a puppy that is deaf?

Yes, I think it will. He does use hand signals. I also think you should think about investing in an ecollar. I have a dogtra one, but there are many. I do not use the shock function, but do use the pager, or vibrate mode. It doesn't hurt at all, a bit like holding your vibrating mobile in your hand. It will enable you to get your puppy's attention though, and then give a command. Also look at Ty Brown's dog behaviour online. He also produces excellent DVDs, and one set is dedicated to e collar training.

And ignore Paul's response. Don Sullivan's methods are very sound and effective. The reviewer clearly has an agenda. Don't be put off.

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 don't think it will work on any dog. It's a joke and a waste of money. The only one who would gain is Don.

I don't know the answer, but I have two dogs, and this device only affects one of my two dogs, both floppy ears, both labs. One is affected by it, and one not at all. I bought a bark collar for the one that is not affected. that is working perfectly!

I have mine on sets of keys. You need to have the base unit close to the chip for it to work well. The sound is not very loud. I don't know how well it would work on pets but you could certainly try it.

I think it all depends on how heavy or loud the whipper/whine is because I believe it works on the vibration it picks up. Most likely it will. About the one you activate, that could go both. If your not near by you could miss the opportunity. I had one previously and hit the zap level dial by mistake before the activation button and giving a zap for a 120lb dog to a 30lb dog makes you feel really, really bad. Huskies tend to be on the smarter side and I feel this could work.

We don't walk ours either and haven't tried, so to answer that specifically, I don't know. I do know our puppy was in full stride toward a protective buck complete with antlers this past week, and he was ready to lower them down and put up a fight-which could kill a dog-and a shock stopped him. It saved his life, I'm sure. So, I'm guessing yes, it would probably work. The vibrate feature also works to get attention when you need it. I hope that helps.

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.

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.

It will help. I had a German shepherd and worked well for her. Start off on a low setting and work up. I never had to get high on the voltage with her. I used it more for the barking purposes. If. You train and are consistent the puppy will learn.

Yes it'll work if the dog is growling. The collar works when it senses vibration. Our dog is very vocal, but more wining that growling and sometimes the collar wouldn't quite pick up on the wining.

I would use it on a bigger dog. The collar is definitely big enough and adjustable. The effect would be the same as far as frequency and control of stimulus. I have two small stubborn dogs who need more stimulus than any large dog I've ever owned. I've had nothing but big dogs (rotts, shepherds, labs, etc.) prior to my 2 and I am very confident this would work.

I don't think I would hear it if I wan't in the same room... but it didn't work for us since the cockapoo we were trying to train was petrified of the bells... every now and then our Westie will nudge them when he already is leashed up and waiting for the door to open!

Hi Dana. If you only have one dog I would say it probably would work. But as we have three dogs, they shake their heads and sense its there but one drowns out the other when barking so is ineffective for us.

Probably. My dogs don't like sounds of any kind. This device only stops them because they can't figure out where it comes from.

Sure. If it's a dog that has a neck and barks from time to time this item may work.

Yes I think it will, Work well on my pet (gizmo) and never had to shock him. Just having it on him worked.

I tried it and my little girl learned to whine and howl instead of barking...you can try it and send back if it doesn't work...mostly for indoors

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...
