does the sound go on long enough for a blind dog to find it? our dog recently went blind and he used to love to play

JF my active, playful 7 year old Bichon-poo just went blind suddenly (SARDs) 3 days ago - would be interested to know what else you've found that your dog enjoys. Just found a treat-ball that got her "snorty" trying to get the treats out. It makes noise when it rolls while the treats are in there. PetCo had a stuffed duck that quacks when you squeeze it, and keeps squeaking for a bit of time. Made me smile to see her find it. :)

It only makes the sound when its rolling or being aged with. Ours broke in less than 2 hours. :(

Yes - But she could only pick it up after we put the ball into an old sock. My dog was very hard on the babble ball, smacking it on the hard wood floor. It only worked for a little over a month.

Our dog is 12. He's been blind for about 2 years now and just recently started having problems with shrill sounds. This ball sounds a lot like the cartoon chipmunks. it giggles and says several phrases. Bells and whistles also bother him. It makes me laugh, but it's not suitable for our dog. Hope this helps.

Watch this video. Teaches you how this lady uses it. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q6wlwwCw8MkThere's an "on" and "off" button. When it's on, there is a speed adjuster below. You can turn it from off to slow to fast. When your done, you can turn the adjuster back from fast to slow to off or you can just switch the off button. Whatever works for you. Some dogs hate the sound and feel. I gave mine alway since my dog hated it. Depends on your dog.

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.

I can't hear it much, but my assumption is that it's mainly in a frequency range that dogs can hear but we can't. When I tested the location where I should put the flags for training, I looked at the flashing LED on the collar. No way I was going to be still enough to hear the beep for that. It appears that my dog can hear the beep. I don't think the flags taught her all the boundaries and I can't believe she's been shocked that much.

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

Mine is in my attic but the dog/cats don't seem to notice it. I can only hear a faint click if I really listen by attic access.

sorry,cant rally comment as i dont have any dogs next door,but it does seem to have made a difference with my dogs,the secret is to turn it on at lots of different times,when your in as well as when your out so they never no when it's on

Yes. The key is to make sure he can feel it through his fur first. We have a large lab and has thick fur, so I tightened it and made sure it was up under his jaw/ear after he felt the first couple zaps and associated the beeps now it can be loose all he has to hear is the beeps and he backs off.

Yes, you should hear that sound. It may take 2 or 3 seconds for the sound to start. It should only make the noise briefly.

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

YES !! but make sure it's tied to the ground good sound! [ I heard of cases where the dog took the gazebo along with them ] also put sun blockers on the three sides where the sun would beat down on him

I can hear it in the room next door. My dog is deaf and she learned to use it pretty fast. She comes to check the bowl around feeding time anyway even if she doesn't hear it right away.

I don't know if they can hear it. Is their hearing as good as a dog's? Anyway, I would still not try it on a horse. You don't know how they will respond if they do hear it. My dog is scared of it, and freaks out and runs away. If she was a horse, she would probably trample someone trying to get away.

It is very quiet. I have to be in the room with to hear it. However, I would think a dog would be okay since their hearing and sense of smell is so much more acute than ours plus I think the dog would get to where it is in a very short time.

-The sound is adorable....It is a dog barking....My little 8 lb. Morkie, Ella just loves this, it is her favorite toy. Hope this helped, and God bless, Phyllis

I've had no problems in this regard. The buggy moves freely and well. My dog first was afraid of it but soon got used to it. She went blind a few months ago and walking her is no longer an option. You may have gotten a defective unit. I suggest you return it for one that works. Good luck. I love mine.

yes, he has setting for different times to shut off. the sound can be set for 15, 30, or 45 minutes. :)
