Got one of these, and in 2 uses, our dogs, (who are usually obedient, but will NOT stop barking when someone they don’t know comes to the door) 0:03, finally got it! Now all I need to do is hold it, and they know they need to listen. Happy dance!
The ultrasonic sound really gets my dog's attention. If she doesn't stop barking immediately (or starts up again), I just press it again. Usually within a few presses, she quiets down and calms down. It's pretty amazing actually.
I got one of these I can tell you that it works, or at least is uncomfortable enough that my dogs stop the unwanted barking. One of them even flinches when I press the ultrasound button (too harsh?), I felt bad afterward tbh. The other thing that happened is that after pressing the ultrasound button about 10-12 times I started feeling dizzy. I have a history of getting dizzy with certain sounds or devices though (binaural beats and active noise-cancelling headphones, for example, make me dizzy. Fortunately I no longer get dizzy with ANC headphones).
I got my goldendoodle to sit, shake, etc. But he already knows how to do those things. What I am PRAYING for is when he starts BITING my arm, hands, pants and does not listen to me no matter how much I tell him no. I have to practically use all my body weight to hug him into a squeeze to calm down. 99% he is a patient, well behaved, loving dog. The other 1% he is like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum and bites like a two year old who bites other kids, which is horrendous and needs to be corrected immediately because of the seriousness of it whether it is a puppy or a toddler. It isn't funny and they won't naturally grow out of it. They need stern discipline to drill it in their minds that no means no and that is unacceptable behavior. So, let's hope this device helps me when he gets in his next mood!!!
Works like a dream for our Chihuahua!!! After a couple days he learned not to bark and jump at our mail carrier or random people walking down the sidewalk.
Hoping for an end to similar behavior from my boy Cully as well. We hit the back yard and he starts circling like a shark and play lunging and nipping and barking. Walk onto the deck and he stops. I know he’s trying to initiate play, but it’s too ruff. Also on walks he gets so excited when he sees others dogs. He wants to play and starts making sounds like a pissed off Wookie. The other dogs seem freaked out by his energy level so he never even gets a sniff greeting. Hopefully this tool will help make Cully the verigudboi he is meant to be.
@DragRNfly is he an only dog? I ask because my husky would nip us all the time to play when he was an only dog. It's pent up energy that he needed to get out, so it was our fault for not exercising/playing with him enough. Yes, the nip is not a good habit for sure so we did also teach him to ring a doorbell to go outside (Smart Bell by Mighty Paw, it's awesome!), but if we didn't respond to him ringing it then he would come nip. We would tell him no, bop his nose, all that jazz, but it doesn't deter him much. He's a husky, so I know they, like goldendoodles, are smart and can be stubborn. Point, though, I knew he needed a buddy to play with when we were busy adulting (note: not saying "in place of" us playing with him). That buddy could have been a person, but our kiddo was 20 when we got him, so she was glued to her phone 80% of the time even when she took him outside to play. And our cats? Nope, they are too old too. So we got a chow/collie mix that was a little younger than him and they play so much that he has stopped nipping. Unless we have a guest over that plays with him or has a dog that plays with him but isn't with them in that instance, then he will nip, again from pent up energy of excitement because he associates playtime with that individual/their scent. Point being, while this device may help in times of not being able to play or he's just played and he just wants more, keep in mind that it's likely pent up energy and he needs both enough play time to get that energy out, as well as he needs to be taught another way to ask to play. The doorbell might help and/or maybe teaching a different action to let you know what he wants. I also need to teach my husky another action so that he doesn't nip my guest. I did just realize it's been 7 mo since your post, lol, so you may have already resolved this a long time ago. How did it go with using this device?
Here’s a tip you didn’t ask for. I never talk to, look at, or pet/touch my dog when he’s being annoying (non-threatening behavior of course) and he doesn’t do those things because he wants my eye contact, me talking to him, and me petting him. I’ve don’t that since day one of bringing him home! He knows I only talk and give attention when he’s calm, either sitting or laying down. He doesn’t get me if he’s doing any behavior I don’t like. The barking is a whole other dragon, but this works for a lot of things! Holding your dog is a reward. Don’t hold or even act like he exists. Disappear if you can. Then suddenly see him when he’s calm. Your calm attention is a reward!
I just received mine 10/13/24. I can hear mine. (I am 58 yo.) If you can't hear yours, it may not be working. Did it vibrate when either button was pressed? (Mine did for each button.) Did you turn it on? (I forgot that the first time.)
@@deannareisman I DON'T want to hear a sound when I press the button. I have to COUGH to cover the sound.... I want a SILENT button to press when Im subduing the dumb dogs from barking
I hope this works because the neighbors dog is a scary big pitbull that barks so loud nonstop that it not only hurts your ears but you can't even stand in your own back yard. Afraid he'll one day jump this small fence. Don't get me wrong, I love pitbulls, but this one needs something to control his awful annoying barking 😫
Americans and their love of deadly weapons and wild animals. I wonder what are Americans so afraid of that they want to keep these wild animals, even when they know that every day there is some fatal case of an owner's dog fatally killing owner's toddler or a child. The more civilized a nation is - perhaps the more wild they become from inside - or perhaps they are afraid of the crimes they have done all along their lives and know that Karma will get to them.
Omg same here I bought it for my neighbors dog, big German Shepherd that bars continuously at the wind so I hope it works from my yard I have a wood fence, 8 ft tall, did it work on your neighbors dog??
I have the same problem, My neighbors big German Shepherd barks non-stop at the wind, did this work from your yard on your neighbor's dog, I have Wood fence a feet tall do you think this would work.
The guy in the video is dishonest. This device does work on more than one dog at a time. I have 3 dogs and I hit the middle button once and they all calm down and become obideaant.
This is why I came to the comments because that statement he made didn't make sense. Why would only one dog hear it at a time?? That's probably not quite what he meant, but I think it needs clarification because that is how it can come across. I think what he may mean is that it's possible for one to respond immediately while another dog, especially if it's younger or more stubborn might take the opportunity of one dog distracted to, for instance, take the distracted dog's closer spot to the thing they're barking at? Something to that effect? I'd think it has more to do with how well trained the dogs are to begin with and how stubborn they are. I haven't started using the device yet (it's charging), but given I've already taught my husky and chow/collie mix beginner commands, as well as beginning training to stop barking, I expect they will both pay equal amounts of attention when I start using it. The thing I wonder is, given my chow/collie mix is a stubborn independent woman (as am I, so I can't be too mad at her, lol), I wonder if she will get used to it and stop responding. But I'm hopeful. She's about 2 yrs old and we are her second owners, so I think her previous owners let her get away with just about anything, thus we have a fair amount of work to do. Speaking of, if anyone has some thoughts on this I would appreciate all input. The guy in the video says to use this with standard commands to get them familiar with the device. Makes sense, but obviously we won't have this device on us 24/7 to use it all the time. Is it similar to the treat concept that over time you give them less and then none at all so that they taper off of associating always having to have that item present to influence the dog to do as you ask? I'd figure so, just wondering if anyone has had an issue once the dogs are trained with this device, when giving a command without it, do they continue to obey the command or slowly slink back into lawless barking? Thanks in advance!
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't know or experience it not working for him. He also said it is a possibility it may not work along with all dogs responding differently. This is the companies video straight from the product so I doubt they would purposely give wrong information.
I think what he probably meant is that if you use it on your dog it’s not going to hurt the neighbors dog 5 houses down the street. I’m just giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Think he means that it can be confusing if you try and correct one dog's behavior if you have two or more. Because then you are "punishing," or "correcting," all at once which could lead to confusion. At least, that's what my common sense would have me believe.
I have a Yorkie and a Sheltie when they hear a car drive up you'd think Godzilla was coming this NPS device has saved my hearing. I love it.

I have a certain situation where I need it to work at 16.3 ft, I wonder if it will still work
Life changer.
Yes for me neighbors dog.
Really works!
Should the dog be rewarded when the dog complies with stopping the behavior?
I also am curious about this! I want to let them know I appreciate them listening lmfao
Yes ! It is advice to positively reward the dog!
I wouldn’t reward the dog. Then you are teaching it to engage in the problematic behaviour then stop if it wants a reward.

Any updates we just bought this looking for some real feedback.
