If you have multiple dogs, only one of whom barks, does this stress the non-barking dog?

I only have one dog, but it does not stress out the dog that I do have so I doubt it would stress out other dogs. It is just a high pitched (I can't hear it) tone that gets the dog's attention. He will look at it and cock his head to the side, but it is enough of a distraction that each time he barks it stops him.

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 train dogs for a living. If any of the dogs in the house has very sensitive personalities it may be to much. If they are not sensitive at all it may not work because they may not be sensitive enough to care about the sound. What every you use has to be more important to stop then why they are barking in the first place. I hope this helps

Yes I have two dogs with two remotes just make sure you label the collar and remote, but of course if you are using the noise element for control then all the dogs can hear it, but the vibrate works really well with my dogs.

Usually it only takes one or two sprays to stop the barking. But I don't find the smell very offensive anyway. It may bother the dog but the smell doesn't bother me and it goes away quickly.

Not at all. However, our dog (believe it or not) does not bark. But it is a very nice collar.

NO, it is activated to their voice/bark, if they bark quietly then it just a little warning, if they bark real load and continuously then it gets stronger with the bark. Best investment, costly but worth every penny. the first week you want to keep it on them for two weeks straight then after that you use it as needed. Its a learning tool.

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.

First bark triggers series of warning beeps. Any barking within the following 30 seconds results in shock and beeps. On my dog, she got shocked even without barking even though I tried to turn down sensitivity, so it was of no benefit and instead confusing to the dog.

Mine stopped my dog from barking in a few days and haven't needed to use it anymore. I have loaned it to several friends with similar results

It seems to only be activated by the dog closest to the collar. I've barked loudly right next to my dog and it has not gone off. But it has gone off without anyone including my dog barking, so it is a little unpredictable.

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...

OF COURSE,It won't.When your dog barks,the warning tone reminds your pet without immediately applying painful stimulus.At each step,your dog gets to choose whether it's worth the increasing pain to bark again.We have found this technique of progressively increasing sound and shock is not only more humane,it is more EFFECTIVE in breaking the barking habit than conventional shocking bark control collars.PETINER can be adjusted to control the sensitivity of the voice,according to the size of dogs barking.

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!

This one only sends corrections to one dog at a time. So if they are both acting up you have to buzz one then the other. Kind of a pain at 3 am but you get use to it.

Our dog also gets very excited when they see other dogs! The gentle leader hasn't eliminate this urge but it does make it easier to get them into a sit position. I get very nervous when our dog lunges at other dogs and with the gentle leader it can look even worse sometimes. We are trying to train them to sit when another dog is coming and sit after they pass and that has been easier with the gentle leader. In the DVD it says not to use with aggressive dogs so excited dogs seems like a grey area. Sorry this wasn't more helpful, I hope you have success with whichever way you choose.

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.

My dog used to display similar behaviors when around other dogs with the gentle leader on. The behaviors lessen for sure due to the fact the dog does not want to be near dogs and not facing them. I think if you use consistently you will notice results. Post again if you have the time.

It makes some noise but not loud compared to others I have tried. I use it on three different dogs and the noise doesn't scare them.
