Highlighted Reviews
"Taco has always been a barker at times. When I use this it gets his attention and the barking ceases. He gets lots of love and praise when he stops barking."
"My dog didn’t respond to the ultrasonic sound, which I knew was a possibility. I wouldn’t have given a bad review except that it then started beeping (and assuming making the ultrasonic sound as well) any time the button was brushed past, not pushed. I threw it out. Was not worth the money."
Bottom Line
This device can be valuable for pet owners looking for a humane way to curb excessive barking, but be prepared for potential inconsistencies and sensitivity to environmental factors.
