My dog will whine and howl non stop if he knows he can't bark. Will this work to prevent that?

Thank you for your question! This system is designed to respond to barking only, but it is possible that certain howls could trigger the device.

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.

I don't believe so as the collar reacts to the vibration of the dog barking. If your second one isn't barking then the collar does not correct. I have two dogs and only use the collar on my yappy one.

I wouldn't. It seems the bark limiter just doesn't work at all. It will just be a problem for you I would think.

It didn't stop my beagle or basset hound from barking or howling. The collar that sprays citronella towards them did help a lot. I think it's the same manufacturer.

I purchased 3 of these for 3 different breeds of dogs. I unfortunately did not any luck with ANY of them. They hestitated the first time and then just barked through it. I am not sure if it will work on whining but I sincerely doubt it.

A collar is not your best investment to stop barking. I've done some research on this, even though I have a very quiet dog. Zero barking is not normal, neither is excessive barking. I very much suggest finding and hiring a reputable trainer in your area to help if you have a 'big barker' on your hands.

Yes it will! My dog is very excitable but I have taught her to calm down with this device. However, no device works without you doing something along with it. It is a teaching aid that I use along with treats. What it does, is get your dog's attention!

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!

just to be clear, dogs are not genetically programmed to stop barking when they hear a clicker, or a whistle, or anything... YOU can TRAIN your dog to bark, or not bark with the help of the clicker. but all the clicker does is click.

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.

Same thing with our dogs. I wonder if they just adapt to it and bark anyway. I guess the noise they hear is not strong enough to be a deterrent. It might work with some dogs.

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.

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...

It does not recognize if your dog barks. This is more like a super long (invisible) leash. It will not stop them from barking unless you're keeping an eye on them & you manually reprimand them & hit the button to zap them anytime the do bark.

Our Jack has a rough coat and it works fine. They tell you to trim the hair around the neck if the coat is to long. But now that he has worn in for a few months we don't even turn it on. Just putting it on him he stops barking. I have tried every device and this is the only one that worked.

I would say no, at first I could tell that this product did something to my neighbors husky that barks non-stop. After about 5-10 min, back to the same barks. Waste of money.

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.
