Dog Barking Control Devices-Anti Barking Device for S/M/L Dogs-4 Training & Deterrent Modes-Rechargeable Ultrasonic Dog Whistle to Stop Barking up to 27 FT-Safe for Human & Dogs (Blue/Gray)

This very simple device worked like magic on our over exuberantly barking beagle! And almost immediately. We have 2 rescues - Rosie and Honey. Rose is an Australian shepherd mix and Honey is a beagle (well mostly anyway). Honey was very timid when we first brought her home but after a while she found her voice and used it. Her "arroos" aren't loud but they are insistent. Now we don't care if our girls bark outside since they don't overdo it. And barking when someone arrives is just a basic instinct which we appreciate: "hey, guys! someone is here!" It's the continuous barking AFTER the person has been welcomed in and the dogs have been thanked/acknowledged for their introduction that we are opposed to. Rosie settles down quickly but not Honey. Once Honey became comfortable in our home her "Arroos" settled less erratically and then she took to barking at folks whenever they moved around the room - NOT acceptable behavior. Having been a rescue with a difficult past and quite timid when she first moved in we did not want to correct her behavior with something that would set her back. This device worked wonderfully well. When guests arrived we turned it on, if Honey's barking became unacceptable we commanded "HUSH" and then pressed the "first button". This has gotten her attention every time and she seems to understand that we want her to be quiet. After just a few uses all we need to do is point the device toward her and say "HUSH" and she stops barking. It is amazing. I admit that Honey is a pretty quick girl but this was beyond my hopes. As for Rosie - well, she looks at it and leaves the room. Since it doesn't harm her we just let it be what it is. And we get to enjoy our company. I would heartily recommend this.

When I tested it to see if the battery needed charged, it came right on and worked. I touched the buttons for just a second to figure out which was which, and for the sonic button, my Corgi pup’s ears popped straight up and he stared very hard at the device. He tread carefully for about 15 minutes, regarding it with mingled curiosity and suspicion. Then my husband picked up my son and swung him around (he’s 13, he’s fine). Our pup—who is a year old and currently intact—ran over, barking orders, trying to restore order. I told him, “Quiet,” and, as I predicted, he ignored me. I said, “Quiet,” again and pushed the button for a split second at the same time. He released his attention from them and refocused to me immediately. I told him, “Good quiet,” and he returned to my side. They wrestled again, and he stood up, sat down, then leapt off to play referee again. I repeated the instructions and method, and this time, he was able to to maintain the good behavior during a third quick bout of wrestling. I praised him for his calmer demeanor, and he is sitting happily on the couch. He leapt off the couch to chase a cat, remembered that I correct him for this, paused to look at me, decided against causing himself more trouble, and left the cat alone. He has *never* thought better of chasing the cat on his own before; I’ve always had to tell him to, “Leave it,” and move between them. So, we’re quite thrilled thus far!Now, I don’t know how it would have helped or hindered had we attempted to use it when he was younger. I’ve definitely noticed more impulse control, maturity, desire to learn, and biddable behavior from him in the past couple of months as he becomes less baby and more teen-like in his development. We plan on adopting another pup once ours completes his training (less distraction that way), and I’ll definitely try this with him/her.

We have 2 dogs that like to bark when it's dinner time almost like they are "demanding" FEED US! they also like to bark at random times when nothing is happening in the house.On one of our dogs it immediately worked - when we pressed the sound button, he had a confused look on his face and stopped barking, and even walked away to another area of the house - you could tell he did NOT like the device at ALL!!our other dog was not as effective - he did stop for a second, stepped back a little, but then immediately started barking againI emailed stopwoofer to get the ultrasonic collar for the non responsive dog, so hopefullly that works better!!Overall 8/10 for effectiveness and easy to use

My 30lb mini goldendoodle has anxiety issues and is constantly barking at people and dogs. The Stopwoofer definitely gets her attention when she gets all riled up and energetic. The blue single beep button is enough to get her to look up at me and put her attention on me instead of what is making her anxious and the ultrasonic button stops her in her tracks. She also has a bad habit of barking for attention when someone familiar comes to visit as if she's saying, "Hey! Pet me!". So far the device has been helping to stop her from pouncing and barking for attention and is acting as a reminder to not do those actions or else she'll get the beep. I cant review battery life because it hasnt run out of battery yet, but i didnt like how specific it is to charge (you cant plug it directly via usb through a laptop and i couldnt use my samsung galaxy 65w charger to charge it up either). Either way, minor issue and I would still def recommend this product

I purchased this because I have struggled to find training techniques to help rein by German shepherd in when he decides to go crazy barking at other dogs or whatnot. What this did is cause unbelievable amount of stress to my dog. If you know your dogs you know when they’re upset. I have a highly sensitive dog who was extremely close to me. Now he is afraid. He hides if his sister decides to bark when the door bell rings. He’s terrified. I only pressed it a handful of times before I realized I couldn’t do this, it was torturing him. I can’t believe this is on the market. I truly believe the sound is not what they’re saying to be. After seeing what happened with my dog I searched about the technique and Psychology Today has a good article on this. Stop harming our dogs. We love them. This is not the way.

Not working

Was a touch sceptical until I used it on my two pit bulls, both are mature dogs that rush and bark and carry on at the back door. One “zap” and they backed off and went silent. Only have to show it to them now and they are well behaved. Wish I had found this product sooner.
