Dog Barking Control Devices Dual Sensor Anti Barking Device with Training/Deterrent Modes Dog Whistle to Stop Barking Ultrasonic Dog Barking Deterrent with LED Flashlight 25 FT Range Rechargeable

This device is HANDS DOWN THE BEST ON THE MARKET out of ANY BEHAVIORAL AID FOR DOGS, because it functions to INTERRUPT problem behaviors, rather than serving as a CONSEQUENCE. This is KEY, as any anxious, high energy dog like mine eventually develops motive to seek negative attention through punishment. This thing literally interrupts their train of thought in a way that doesn't connect the behavior chain to a punishment, so it doesn't make a dog seek the stimulus out of boredom/boundary testing. If you have a dog too smart for his own good, this will be your best friend! And it only takes a couple uses for each problem behavior, to completely extinguish a behavior!! Could not recommend this product MORE!!So, reading reviews for this drove me crazy. It's advertised to stop aggression, and many reviewers HINTED at using it for this behavior, but no one wanted to say it directly, leaving it a mystery as a buyer if EVEN ONE person ever used this to stop aggression, or if it worked. As if it should be an embarrassing secret if your dog has aggressive tendencies.. I'm gonna leave the review I NEEDED to be convinced this device would SAVE MY DOG.I bought this remote because, I'll say it because no one else will: MY DOG DEVELOPED AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIORS. I am a behavioral therapist and a diligent dog trainer, and adopted a Coon Hound who spent the entire first year of his life in a loud kennel, where all of his problem behaviors (whining, begging, jumping, dominance-testing) were reinforced as understandably, no one was paid enough/had time/resources to give this brilliant, high energy hound the attention he deserved.He is a VERY GOOD BOY, and tries so hard to behave. He is so intelligent it's self-sabotaging, and he requires extensive rules/boundaries incorporated in routines in order to maintain hierarchy in the home, and in order to reduce his anxiety. When I brought him home he was a ball of fear and anxiety, pacing constantly whining, didn't know how to play or lay down/relax, destructive/stressed in silence (requires constant background noise), and every interaction was a test of dominance, even cuddling (his paw on top= "I'm the alpha" move). I needed to structure his life in a way to provide him with a sense of calmness he never understood existed.He sits and waits for meals and leaves all food/treats until he's allowed to get it, sits and waits in doorways and gains permission to enter, must be quiet before let out of crate, he receives treats intermittently to reinforce positive behaviors, the list goes on. If he breaks even one rule and gets away with it, he gets on a bad boy high and chooses every opportunity to misbehave for days/weeks until he gets in routine of behaving again, as breaking rules initiates a power struggle. He does not respond well to punishment (time out, firm verbal negative attention "No, bad boy, etc." for misbehaving) and when he is given too much negative attention, gets in a loop of seeking negative attention out of boredom/anxiety. His attention needs are so high by default, he will go for getting trash out with no intention of chewing, making rounds past us so we notice and get in a power struggle for him to drop it, after a full day outside, playing, hours of cuddles/direct attention and treats, when all his needs are met. He just really wants to be top dog, and when he gets an opportunity to misbehave, he's gotta check in and see if he's the boss now.My little family went through a rough transition recently and we had to stay with close family while our new home was remodeled. During this time, as we were guests in someone else's home, we were unable to maintain a lot of his structural training/boundaries, unable to control the environment. He sensed it wasn't our home as well, and became confused as to who was the alpha again in that setting.There was a gate blocking off the kitchen that others in the home left open frequently, and others in the home left food where he could access on a regular basis by accident. He had more opportunities to steal food than he's had in his lifetime since I've had him, and became quite entitled to human food. He developed aggression towards my boyfriend, and would growl at him when he was caught stealing food, going as far as lunging/mouthing his hands gently, yet making loud scary noises to make the encounter seem fatal (with no intention to bite, total scare tactic). Because we were not in control in that environment, the behavior got reinforced several times, with us unable to do much other than crate him as we processed it, unsure of WHAT to do when we couldn't give others rules for living in their own home, so we COULDNT PREVENT THE BEHAVIOR, and the negative attention from time-out was a consequential new MO for the behavior. (We stopped crating for punishment years ago after learning it increased behavior, but being baffled by aggression and genuinely fearing any wrong move would make it worse, felt we had no choice but to time-out as we were out of our element, never predicting our sweet boy would act so naughty).His ego grew large, and he began growling/initiating a fight with my boyfriend any time I ate food while he was around, thinking he was for some reason entitled to my food leftovers. Before our living transition, begging had been trained out of him, he would lay down out of sight and wouldn't look at us while we ate, or beg after, he knew how to behave when we ate without problems. But it became a power game after months in this unstable environment: every time I ate food, he would "fight" my boyfriend, intimidating him out of a new conditioned routine--he never won, but confused and conditioned with this response, my eating meant it was time to fight my boyfriend. He never hurt my boyfriend or any person, but would sound SO SCARY my boyfriend worried for his safety, and when he tried to deescalate, the dog would yowl loudly as if he was being hurt throughout the encounter to gain attention from anyone around when he felt he was "losing." He even got aggressive with ME once, lunging at me after I opened his jaw to remove stolen food, which he always allowed me to do in the past. He would never hurt us I believe, and it's 100% all a rouse to scare us that became effective as he genuinely grew to scare my boyfriend. But i worried if this went on much longer, he might accidentally learn actually hurting us was something he could get away with, too...My boyfriend became very uncomfortable around him, even when he was in good boy mode, it damaged the relationship badly.. and being his perferred play mate (stopped trying to play rope tug with me a year ago because Daddy is so much more fun I became boring), he went without play for months as my boyfriend feared him.. no play made aggression towards the BF worse, as he used to get the energy out daily with play.The vet told us to literally just let him have whatever food he steals, which was asinine and increases behavior of stealing/territorial aggression by allowing him to be successful, and I needed better options. As a behavioral therapist, I knew better than to listen to the vet's advice and risk things getting worse, but felt overwhelmed by how little information is out there. NOBODY WANTS TO ADMIT THEIR DOG BECAME AGGRESSIVE, so little info exists for people struggling like we were, knowing their dog wanted to be good, and just wandered down a really bad path..Moving into our own home again, SOMETHING had to break. We had to teach him the new home had new rules, and that there was 0% tolerance for this BS. His anxiety was at an all time high too, he wants to be a good boy SO BADLY, just got real confused.We got this remote on a limb, feeling quite helpless, as this dog LOVES negative attention, and even a beep/shock collar in the past led to him seeking the punishment for attention out of boredom. We hadn't used that in months other than when outdoors, and didn't even try it for aggression, anticipating it would cause defensiveness/increased aggression.Predictably, the first meal I ate in our new home ended with the dog growling/standing over my boyfriend who sat beside me on the sofa, when I was done eating. My boyfriend tried to gently but firmly move him off as he invaded space and forced 90lb weight on him, and he put his mouth around his wrist, making scary loud aggressive sounds (but intentionally not biting or applying pressure, all bark no bite..) we used the remote, orange button meant to ward of dogs when they attack, held button for 3-4 seconds.. and we were BLOWN AWAY.. he immediately backs away, and goes to lay down in his bed, like he's known all along is the good boy move. We used it 2 more times as he continued to test after I finished meals, and he immediately redirected. After 3 total uses, a new behavioral pattern was created, and we have had NOT ONE INSTANCE of Aggression in WEEKS!!! he's been so much more relaxed, as he never liked being a bad boy!! I could tell he felt so much guilt! It has brought both him, and us peace of mind, restoring our household! We even used it a couple times when he got into the trash and ignored learned command "drop it," looking for neg. attention. He immediately dropped it, with no drama of punishment to complicate things, this behavior is becoming extinct, too!!I was seriously becoming worried if my dog ever actually hurt someone, we'd have to get rid of him... which would break my heart, he's such a good good boy. I work all day as a therapist and come home and use similar applied behavior analysis with this dog. I was the best person to adopt him knowing all I do about training, and failing him was just something I couldn't allow myself to do... if I couldn't train him, no one could, and I refused to believe this dog was untrainable...Aggression in dogs can happen by complete accident. You're not a bad owner if your dog becomes aggressive, I learned firsthand throughout this time. Dogs learn quickly, and a VERY smart, high energy dog doesn't need much evidence it's worth pursuing, to develop a behavior like this. I'm writing this novel to BREAK THE STIGMA that made all other reviewers too embarrassed to speak the truth. Accidents happen, and one accident can lead to a dog developing dangerous behaviors like this. We need to stop censoring these hard to hear truths and spread the news: this device CURBS AGGRESSION, and can save dogs lives!! If you or anyone you know has an aggressive dog, use this device before its too late!! When a dog learns to harm a human its already too late for them to function around a family. We need to trust our fur babies around human babies and around ourselves. This device truly saved us from going down a path we could not return from. BUY THIS NOW!!

So I have 4 lab mixes ranging in age from 14 to 1. As you can imagine the 1 and 2 yr old are a bit of a handful as well as the 8 yr old. Whenever our neighbors dog is in his yard mine feel it is necessary to run outside as fast as they can and stand at the fence and try to rip it apart board by board to say hello and bark their heads off. This was getting old quick. I bought this product and as soon as I hear them hit the dog door I run and grab the zapper and zap them with it. Instantly they shut up, stop tearing down my fence and come back inside. It is AWESOME. I have gone from replacing a board a week to now maybe 1 a month or less. A lot less barking. This is by far worth every penny spent and a huge success. Most of the time I just use the training button the black button, rarely do I have to use the Orange button. This works.

This product works great. It gets your dogs attention and they stop barking immediately. However it also effects other dogs in the same vicinity. We have 2 dogs so this doesn't work well for us. I do recommend it but beware.

Hey, the thing looks nice and it does emit a sound for sure. I have two nieces in the house that did not know I even had this device and immediately when I pressed the button, both of them screamed at me to stop and grabbed their ears. My dog did look in my direction and tilted his head so he obviously hears it as well.The problem is I have a barking dog problem and when he is barking this deterrent deters him not. He looks at me and keeps running and barking and laughing...LOL.Unfortunately the return window closed about 10 days ago or I would return it. I can't recommend it.

I purchased this for bark control but sometimes the distance limitations comes into play ... or my dogs have gone deaf to the signal. I like the feature that it also emits a flashing light too, to provide visual reinforcement to stop barking. However, my patio seems to be right at the distance limitations of the product and it is not always effective for controlling my dogs barking. So, beware of the distance effectiveness but otherwise, a good product.

This thing is a miracle worker! I have three big dogs. One dog is a barker who barks at anything that moves- drives me nuts! I tried the bark collar and a spray bottle and nothing worked. I bought this and holy moly I press the button once and it stops every single dog stops what they’re doing and they either turn away or lay down. My dog could be barking ferociously and it still stops them, immediately, with one quick press. I’ve had it for a week and have seen such a huge difference in behavior. My barker still barks, but he’s learned to think twice before he starts up and if any of them sees me reach for the device, they quiet right down. finally, some peace and quiet! I don’t know why I didn’t try this sooner! If you’re contemplating buying it, just buy it and don’t think twice about it.
