This particular bottle cannot. The nozzle is made to fit into the receiver. The may make one though. I'm not sure. I wish I had a better answer for you. Good luck.

I've never used it that way. I would think that the dog would just run away from you if you did. I put it in a special no bark collar; it goes around the dog's neck and when the dog barks, it squirts citronella across the dog's muzzle. Please not that this does not work with all dogs.

Hi, no you cannot use it as a spray like furniture polish. Its a tiny little nozzle that you spray into the small canister by pressing down. So that is the only way it can be emptied.

No it is inserted like you are airing up a tire. It does not have the button on top. You might be able to take one off anther can and be able to spray. Never tried that. Hope that answered your question. I think you will like the product.

I would say yes. When my dogs begin fighting I hold the can up (so they can see it) say "stop that" (with an assertive tone) then spray. They stop fast! Their must be a sound they hear that activates them to quiet down. There is also an Oder that is dispensed. My pups stopped acting out the first day with my consistency. Depending on the dogs you have, I would give it a try. It helped me. I swear by the stuff; I purchased three, if I need to use now and then. Usually, though, I show them the can and they stop! Good luck. Only use when they act up though. Don't try intimidating.

Yes! The spray form is used for dogs because cats hate sprays.(I think the sound of something being sprayed sounds to them like another cat hissing!)There is another type bottle available with this same product in it, but it has a dabber-type top that won't bother a cat when it is being applied. Just search amazon for the same stuff but add "cats" and it should pop up.

I'm sorry I never had a chance to use it. I started calling the police every night since the first of this year because of the noise,(they didn't seem to be doing anything) so I ordered the bark control just in case the police didn't correct the situation. They did & I gave it away to my brother. He was dealing with 3 barking dogs. 2 dogs stop barking, 1 still barks, sister in law thinks it's deaf. My neighbor no longer has the dog & we are enjoying peace and quiet after 2 years of nonstop barking. Good luck to you.

No....I actually found that after the 1st couple of walks with this product, where it dod work....my dog started ignoring it. I've found a small spray bottle with water, works WAY better. All I have to do now when they are barking, is pick up the spray bottle (or sometimes even just threaten to get it) and they stop. I think if you're using this as a training tool for a puppy...it could be useful, but my two 2 1/2, and 2 yr old fur kids, just tune it out.

I have a PediPaws nail drill and I've found that it's useless on my dog. She was a puppy when I introduced the noise of the drill by just turning on the PediPaw and leaving it. Once she became accustomed to the nose I tried using it and she was very good about sitting still but the drill is cheaply made and can't file the nail sufficiently. It's just another product made with the cheapest materials and sold at top dollar. I purchased mine when it first came out and it was twice as much as the price now being charged, plus shipping. Don't waste your money. If you have a cat or toy breed dog who can tolerate the buzzing sound of the drill it could be useful but that's a BIG "if".

She ran away and hid in her crate actually in the smaller dogs crate and didn't want to leave the tight space.She seems ok today and is barking again. We sprayed as directed for barking. No harm was done to the dog she just seemed petrified. We will try again today if there is a lot of barking. Thank you for the answers!

There is a Bach Flower Remedy called "rescue". They make one for pets specifically without alcohol. I have not tried it yet (moving mine next week), but it has no flavor or odor. You can also massage it into their ears if they won't ingest it. One of mine will eat those "Calm" treats (from VT) but the other won't. I also have three pheromone diffusers that I have not used yet. Armed and dangerous for the move !!! You can also buy pheromone spray. When I use that (Feliway) they get calm immediately.

I was lucky and the Bark Free worked beautifully for me. It saved my sanity. It works using sound waves. Any obstacle between the barking dog and the Bark Free device will absorb those sound waves and lessen the effectiveness. I put my unit outside a second floor window, pointed downward towards the dog in the yard next door and it stopped her barking. It took several days and it didn't make her stop barking 100% but she no longer barked for hours on end. Her pen was less than25 feet from the unit and there was only air between her and the Bark Free. The units limitations are clear and must be considered. I LOVED my Bark Free.

yes. Had two of these, very short lifespan. Switched to citronella emitting bark collar. Happy.

It smells like citronella. It's not overpowering. If you don't like the smell or are worried about it you can buy Unscented spray. The point of the collar is to startle the dog to get him to redirect his mindset. The smell isn't necessary unless your dog responds to the scent better.

Since I purchased this item I have had one occasion to use it. Although I don't know if I hit the dog directly, it caused him to make a wide circle and avoid me. Even from a distance, the spray will disperse and be detectable by the dog. Also, the spray stream reaches quite a distance, so you can use it before the dog is too close. I would say that it achieves the desired result.

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...

My husband used this on a neighbors large dog that was always barking and it really worked. Your dog will probably hear it. Make sure you follow the directions and use at a safe distance from either dog. It MUST be used according to the distance the instructions provide. We used it on our barking small breed puppy so she would not disturb our neighbors during her 6AM walk. and at first it worked great, but then she did not react at all. Seems to work on some dogs, and it is impossible to determine which ones without buying the device and trying it.

Though I don't have a dog, I can assure you this spray will leave a potent "peppermint" sort of scent in the areas you spray. Chances are your dogs won't really dig it because I had to use it repeatedly in specific areas to keep the cat from becoming comfortable again. I doubt it will harm them as much as "annoy" them -- again, not completely sure, though.

You will need to use this with one of the spray collars (not on its own). You will have to get the remote-controlled collar and supervise the dog when it has access to areas where you don't want the dog to go, then spray the dog when it starts to get up on the furniture.

When I first got it, it WAS to use outside, in the small enclosed area the dogs had when they were out by themselves. It was part concrete & part grass, and it completely got rid of urine smell. I've since used it inside on carpet occasionally just to get rid of the doggy odor that sometimes gets into the carpet. Works well for me both inside & out. Hope this helps!
