Highlighted Reviews

— Anna-Marie

"Fast and easy to setup and install. My dogs responded immediately. We now have peace and quiet outside and inside."

— Leslie

"I was hoping this might help with the dogs next door, but even though I could hear it emit a high pitch noise, the dogs weren't phased in the least."

Bottom Line

Product with mixed effectiveness, might have better outcome when used with pets tolerated by high-pitch tone.
