Will this product work on howling dogs?

It worked on my neighbor's dogs for me. Almost every evening at about the same time, my neighbor's four dogs would howl. Sort of like they would if a siren was going off somewhere. I placed this product on the fence post toward the dogs, and they stopped howling right away, with some wanting to howl, but stopped.

I have it set to 1. I swear it seems to be getting the next door neighbors dog to my house. They are big dogs. Try it. Keep the box and return it if not. That was my plan but I kept mine.

Frankly: with 2 male ALSATIANS 9meters opposite my house it did not work at all. Then the company suggests a trial period of some weeks - after some days the 9V battery finished - no success. I'll try again, but I doubt. Hans Hoenicke in Bangkok

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.

My neighbor's dog will stop barking when he's within 15' or so of the unit. If he goes down to the other end of the lot - about 30' away - it doesn't affect him. I'm thinking about buying a 2nd unit for that corner of the yard.

From what I can tell it depends on your dog's ears. If they are large and erect it does help. If small and/or floppy then no.

It is really going to depend on the dog. I have two dogs, a Kelpie/Heeler mix and a Pit/? mix. The Kelpie has developed a barking habit, and this doesn't completely stop her, but it has slowed her down. The Pittie absolutely hates it, and will limit him to one bark unless there's actually a problem (someone in the ditch behind the house, etc). I think that Melissa made a good suggestion about keeping the box and trying it out. That was also my plan, and I decided that I would keep the unit. If it doesn't work, you can always send it back.

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.

No this gadget doesn't even work on my dogs, they bark right over the very highest setting, it bothers me more than them, don't waste your money! I ended up buying citronella spray collars. It sprays the dog's nose when they bark, works like a charm. I don' even have to turn it on to spray anymore, they just wear the collar and I have complete silence. This of course does not help you with your neighbor's dogs, but you might suggest he/she or you gets one for them, because it's gentle and they learn super fast...

I believe it will but to make sure I would check the BULLY DOG SITE and speak to them directly. They do work

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

I Think it might work on Labs. it sure didn't work on my Lhasa Apso!! Too much fur.They say it's for undercoats on long hair dogs. It didn't work for me. Good luck Daisy

No I don't think it would do the job right. It seems to work only when my dog shakes his head not when he barks. I know the PetSafe Deluxe Big Dog Bark Control for $129.99 will work and also PetSafe Bark Control with Vibration for $79.99 will work also. I'm ordering the 79.99 next to give it a try.

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.

Unfortunately, this particular product did not work for me. I think it may have been defective. I also bought the First Alert Bark Genie Automatic control device and it did work, at first. I should warn you that once my dog got used to the device- the product lost it mojo.

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.

Mine did not work on dogs. If you are that close to coyotes, I think you need something else.

No, it will only work with a bark. I would recommend a remote control collar. We purchased one for around $50 that allows us to use a remote to activate a loud tone, a rattle, or a small shock. I think that would work better for whining. Good luck!!

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.

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!

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!

unfortunately no. My dog is/was a big barker - and it works great for that. But she has learned that it won't zap her if she wines - so she does a bit of that at times instead. Sorry, not sure if any bark collar will work on whining...

No , I don't think it will work. We purchased one for the neighbors dogs who are small dogs that bark constantly, and put it as close as I could, which is about 40-50 feet away, which is what they say. The problem is the dogs move farther away than that. Anyway, it is just sitting out there now, and the dogs are barking.

Kay i think it will stop because the collar do the signal when my dog is howling. I put it in myself and bark and I received the signal.
