I had tried everything. I work from home, so not separation issues. My dog just loves to bark. We thought maybe get her a friend. She taught the new puppy to bark and now this has gone on for a year. We have tried rewards for quiet time, crate training, even the most expensive bark collars on the market (two different brands). Seriously, nothing has worked. I love my pups, but I was ready to rehome. I had just reached the end of my rope.
I ordered this with a huge amount of skepticism, but I wanted to exhaust all potential options.
We ordered week before family would be here for Christmas— unknown people cause my dogs to go absolutely nuts barking. This worked right away. I literally could have cried happy tears.
We live on about half an acre. They will still run to the edge of the property and bark all day at the ducks, or run to the other edge and bark all day at our chickens. But, I’m buying like three more of these, worth every single penny.
I don’t even have to turn it on some days. Just seeing it is enough for them to stop. They can’t stand it. I hate that it has to be like this, but I am so thankful we have it (and I’m sure our neighbors send their love and thank yous too).
For clarification we have a miniature Australian Shepard and a mini Sheltie.
Thank you guys again. This has changed our lives.
