My dogs want to kill the neighbor dogs behind us since we moved here - 4 or more years ago. Those dogs are not without fault, they aggressively attack the fence at my dogs as well. My dogs have always loved other people and dogs since we got them.. until we moved here. So, at my wits end, just before asking the neighbors to let me rebuild the fence into a double plank privacy wall, and after installing a fence "privacy screen" (that did nothing), I ordered these things. They were installed 48 hours ago - I installed two, one at each corner of the shared fence, motion set at max distance, but aimed at within 4 feet of the fence line. HAhahHAhahaHAhahAHA - my dogs got soaked and now no longer fighting. As a matter of fact, the sprinklers going off scare the neighbor dogs too - so, they don't stay to fight either. I wanted a video of my dogs "getting learnt" - but they learned fast. Here is a video of my dogs not getting within 10 feet of that fence line and going no further. For me, this boring clip is cinematic beauty. Sorry, I wish it was full of face blasting excitement, but apparently, one and done - is what my dogs took from the experience. I can have my dogs play all day again out back (they have a 24/7 door that has been blocked for all 4 years - until 48 hours ago. no longer) - it's awesome. "Squirt em, don't hurt em"

this product gets a whopping four stars because it works. turn it on, put it on the pooch, and the pooch's reign of terror is over. my dog had a habit of barking incessantly when left home alone, and this is the only option i tried that worked.
don't feel bad, it's really not so cruel. he learned after the second buzz that it was related to the barking. it's been quiet here since then.
the only silly thing is that you need a tiny screwdriver to turn this collar on and off. i suppose you could leave it on all the time- i had a petsafe one that didn't turn off and the batteries lasted four or five months.

Instant response from the dogs. After the first day, I just show it to them, and they become very manageable, and quiet.

I very rarely give out 1 star reviews, but I believe in our situation with this collar, it's more than warranted.

I didn't like the idea of having to use one of these, but we had family members lined up as visitors to our house for 3 straight weeks. We don't have a lot of visitors since we don't live close to our families, except my mom and two of my wife's brothers. My uncle was scheduled for one week, my wife's parents for a week and two of my wife's aunts for the next week.

Our dogs:
A dachshund mix who is about 10 pounds. His heart and fight far outweigh him. He barks at anyone he doesn't instantly recognize, including a few times at me and my wife. I never expected him to be much of a guard dog or a protector, but he does his best to prove me wrong.
A poodle mix who is about 15 pounds. She's older, much more sociable and is one of those dogs who would more likely lick you to death before ever trying to hurt you. She's so sociable that we've met two of our neighbors thanks to her "visiting" when she goes out to use the bathroom. We end up finding her laying on a neighbor's porch while they talk to her and give her treats.

As you can probably guess the dachshund was the concern. So, I ordered this and had it one-day shipped to arrive a day before my uncle so we could get used to using it. The morning of my uncle's arrival, my wife put the collar on the dachshund and sure enough it started beeping and I assume shocking. After the sixth beep, our dachshund walked across the living room, stopped and peed all over himself. He hasn't used the bathroom in the house in 2 years and he's only 2.5 years old. It did stop the barking and my thinking was it was maybe just the surprise/shock of the collar that caused the accident.

That night, my wife and uncle went out to eat. My mom had come in from work and put the collar on the dachshund before we got back since the dachshund seems to forget who is welcome and who isn't. This is where the one star comes in:

As we were walking into the house I could hear the poodle barking and a beeping noise. Now mind you, the dachshund and poodle are similar height and both were standing side by side at the door looking out at us, but the poodle's barking was triggering the collar to beep/shock the dachshund. So there goes my poor little dachshund back under a chair. It took me about an hour of letting him sit right beside of me to calm him down and stop him from quivering. All because the poodle barked.

To me that's just unacceptable. These are the first dogs I've ever lived with in a house. All of my previous dogs were big, outdoor dogs, so I'm not one of those way too overprotective pet-owners. I just don't think I would be too happy if my son got punished for something that my daughter did. I feel the same way about the dogs. Maybe it would be good if you only have one dog, but if you have two know ahead of time that the dog not wearing the collar can trigger the beep/shock on the other dog who is wearing it.

I'm not going to put the video I have, but it's on my phone if anyone wants me to upload it. It shows me blowing into the collar four times which brings a little longer beep each time. On the second beep our dachshund lays down and starts to pout. The poodle just looks around as if to ask what's that noise. On the third beep the dachshund really does a similar motion as a dry-heave like he's going to be sick. Maybe it traumatized him, but it's not like he's going to learn why seeing that it was the poodle's bark that was triggering it. Visits are over, I'll stick to trying to work with him verbally to stop the barking.

I have an 8 1/2 year old miniature dachshund, Zeus, who I have spent years keeping in the best physical condition possible. The vet has always commented on how well we've done maintaining a healthy weight. One thing I couldn't do was keeping him from jumping up and down from the couch. A little over a year ago he slipped of the couch and fell on his back. We went to the vet and was given muscle relaxers, painkillers and I kept him on strict "kennel rest". He recovered but has been slowing down ever since. A few weeks back he stopped even wanting to go up steps. The vet kind of blew me off, so I decided I'd try Flexadin. It has been a miracle. With in 4 days there was a noticeable difference and two weeks later I now have a dog who seems 4 years younger. He is even chasing balls and squirrels again. His disposition had been getting grumpier the past couple years and I just attributed it to getting older, but now I realize he was sore!! He is back to his old, cuddly self and I feel terrible for not trying this earlier. We will finish the initial 4-6 week treatment and then go to maintenance every other day. I couldn't be happier with this product. Also, my dog eats this pill like a treat, so there is no struggle to get him to take it, but I will say Zeus isn't picky at all, so I can't guarantee all dogs would like it.

My 2 small dogs don't have any problems with fleas and ticks when using this collar.

UPDATE: Put these collars on my 2 dogs. I've been using these collars for 3 or maybe even 4 years. I have bought them from a few different places. They have always lasted for the 8 or so advertised months. Not this time, 4 months and both of my dogs are ate up with flea bites. I don't know if I got some outdated collars or something else was bad. The dates on the collars were fresh and not expired. I'm not going to say this is a bad product because I'm going to keep on using the Bayer Seresto Flea and Tick Collars but, something was wrong with the 2 I bought this time :(

After 5 years of having dogs, the 1st 4 post winter dog lawns would nearly bring hubby to tears.  They were basically dirt yards.  My husband (lawn guy extrordinaire) was near a heartsick--so much work wasted, literally.  Front lawn--golf course worthy.  Back yard fenced pool/play/dog lawn, a pit, especially post winter.  Husband had to bring in loam, reseed dirt, only Tufts of grass here & there--looked like a blight hit the yard, water for 2 weeks, reseed on & off all summer/fall, fill in dirt areas all summer/fall, etc.  So much upkeep!!!  Spring 2016 I had found dog rocks. Used right away. With 2 female dogs the lawn was better, less spotting, less burned to dirt areas.  We even hosed if we saw them pee, or picked up waste asap--all summer/fall, every year until we got dog rocks.  If I have hose out I will water over their voiding area...but not going out of my way or looking for it.  Totally enjoyable summer.  Had our play area back by the pool to have croquet, soccer, etc..  Come winter, we kept a dog rock in water bowl outside (when temperate), 1 in the inside water container, which feeds into dog fountain bowl (where I put 2), switched out every 4 months.  This Spring, after harsh winter, husband only had to fill in a dozen bare spots. No loam, always reseeds, but not from dirt!!!  Lush lawn:)))) He also uses a dog lawn product, but he has for all these dog years.  I did get all the dog waste I could find in snow before lawn showed through, but still had some waste after snow cleared. BUT (a BIG BUT) this was 1st winter dogs had dog rocks in water all through winter.  Amazing lawn difference.  We live on coast in Northern New England...everything outside requires extra work to thrive well.  Best dog product for saving lawn:))))

My dogs were switched to Vectra when Frontline Plus became ineffective in our area. For the first time ever, my 12 yr old dog and my much younger one were both complete infested with ticks. I took them to vet to help me remove them and they each had over 100! It took 2 months to get rid of them including 2 professional indoor treatments and another couple outdoor treatments. The company was not interested in my complaints but the vet stopped carrying it soon after which made me think we were not the only ones who experienced this horrible failure.

Oh my gosh, this is the most amazing product I've ever used for my pups. I have my two dogs on them, an almost 14 year old cocker-chihuahua mix who is blind and has had non-stop ear infections and yeast infections for years despite steroids, etc......she is almost always miserable  :-(  My almost 8 year old dachshund developed yeast infection on all 4 of his legs about 10 months ago and it looked like elephant skin. Both of them REEKED and I could not get the smell to go away...........until this product. It is miraculous!! They get it daily on their food, one half of that tiny scoop each, and within just a few days, they no longer smelled bad, seriously; I had other people smell them! My Doxie's legs are almost healed! My older pup still suffers but not nearly as much...hers seems to be taking a bit more time but she is scratching significantly less. THANK YOU!!! I am forever grateful and will be sharing about this product with many people....I already have!! The pictures below show the front of his back leg on 3/28/15. The second picture is the same leg today. I have been using this product for just a couple of weeks. Decide for yourself!! There has been nothing else I have changed with my dogs except adding this probiotic!!!Thank you Brad!!!!

It all began in the summer of 2010 when my brother could no longer handle the border collie I had bought for my nephews' 10th Birthday. The dog, Oreo, had destroyed all of the plants and flowers in his back yard and was close to being sent to the pound. Times were rough so when he offered me $100 to take Oreo back, I jumped at the opportunity.
  BIG MISTAKE! I already had a dog and had installed a doggie entrance in my back door, so short of tying Oreo up in my back yard, she had full reign of my property. Not a day went by when I would come home from work and find something missing or chewed to bits. My CD collection, DVD collection, appliance power cords, furniture, shoes, remote controls, plants, etc., etc.!!! If I were to put a price on the damage she caused, it would be $1,000 to $2,000 minimum! I tried spraying vinegar as well as commercial products to save my new furniture but nothing worked.
  The dog whisperer had a busy schedule so it dawned on me to try Trivedi water. This miraculous water had helped me with digestive problems and I was hearing about all the other wonderful things credited to Trivedi infused water. I filled Oreo's water bowl for three days straight with Trivedi water. That's all it took!!!
  After the third day, Oreo COMPLETELY stopped her destructive behavior! Every now and then she would take one of my shoes to the living room but would NOT chew it!:) I have continued to give her Trivedi water every now and then and she has become one of the sweetest, most well-behaved dogs I have ever owned! It has reached a point where I believe we are psychically connected. She is extremely intelligent and intuitive and has evolved into a wog...half woman/half dog! (haha!)

We have had such a problem with fleas this year.  I have tried all the topical treatments on the market and we still had problems with fleas.  I found this when I was looking for something else that might work.  After I gave my dogs this by the next day I couldn't find a live flea on them anywhere.  I was worried that it might make my dogs sick,  they tolerated it just fine.  I am going to use this from now on.  Anything that can help over night and help my poor dogs from suffering flea bites.

My dogs destroy everything. It's been six months and they are still in tact!  They are great.

Note: This review was written by Donna Marton of Cumberland, MD and I'm posting it on her behalf.

A few months ago my best friend was telling me how her aging rescue lab's health was failing, her voice choking up at facing the loss of this gentle dog. I came across this book thinking I might get a few new pointers to help her.  It isn't a thick book, so I thought, hmm, a few hours reading, and I'll get back to my tri-peaks solitaire, which I am pretty good at.  A few days later, yes, days, since I read it twice, and I cannot get it out of my mind. It has been many years since I lost a pet (friend, really), so I expected no healing was needed here.  With the easily understood guidance of these authors, I found time does Not heal all wounds.  I will be forever grateful for their help in putting the pain of over 50 years ago finally to rest.  I think anyone from 8 to 80 can use this book, and every vet/vet tech should have it as standard guidance, and I wish I could put it in every library.

I bought this at a local pet store, but the results were so dramatic, I had to write a post here. Basically, my Pomeranian /  Aussie Cattle Dog mix had a LOT of sneezing, including the reverse sneezing which sounds like they are having an asthma attack (but they're not)... probably about 20 times per day. And I started giving her 2 portions per meal according to her weight (since the pet store clerk recommended doubling the dose at first in the beginning), and in about 5 days, her sneezing started to completely disappear. I was amazed. So now that she's at this point, I'm going reduce, and give her the recommended dosage for a while longer. So glad something helped! Poms are known to have trachea issues, so it's good I didn't ignore this problem and think it was normal. Happy doggie now!

This worked for three maybe four days. Then the three dogs started going off again even with fresh batteries and repositioned several times right on the fence to their property. I do not recommend this product as a solution. You are better off filing noise complaints with the city. And people with dogs, please don't leave puppies outside in the heat in Houston for 24 hours a day. I have a 130 lbs German Shepard that is trained not to bark outside unless there is someone in the yard. He stays in the house with us and only goes out when we do or to do his business. There is no reason to leave those babies outside! I know you hear them barking at 2 a.m. too....................

We had an irate neighbor over our dogs barking this summer. We had done everything we could but they were still too disruptive. The collars did the trick. We haven't had a complaint since. Oddly enough the dogs' behavior seems to have improved overall. One of them who was especially hyper has calmed down quite a bit, and seems much more in tune with us when we call him and give commands. It could be a coincidence, but I think by putting him in check when he tries to freak out and bark at passing dog walkers, it's had a positive effect. We're 5 months in and both collars are operational.
