"I’ve been using the PetSafe Collarless Trainer with my older dog, and honestly, I didn’t expect it to work this well. The moment I press the button, she stops whatever she’s doing and looks right at me"

β€” K9 Twins

"This tool does successfully divert my dogs’ alarm barking. It coincidentally showed up the day I had an electrician at my house. My Labrador did not like the β€œsound” so much that after testing it twice, I only had to pretend to hit the button and she stopped barking at the man."
