Installed 4 days ago-8 ft. high-because of wall. Faces dog. Red flash when he barks. Still barks. Can it take 2 wks? Floppy ears. Not hearing it?

I don't know the answer, but I have two dogs, and this device only affects one of my two dogs, both floppy ears, both labs. One is affected by it, and one not at all. I bought a bark collar for the one that is not affected. that is working perfectly!

the dog may not hear so well due to breed. dogs over the years have been bread to do different thing for man. hunt by smell sight or sound. my unit works ok but there is a pack of small dogs next door.they do stop barking after a min or so. I wish my neighbors would just move I can only hope. Joe

Tried it on a German Shepherd with no success, changing batteries didn't work either. Maybe some dogs just don't mind the sound.

I had it high to go over fence and it stopped working after a while. It's a golden lab mix with floppy ears. So I put it in the back of the yard- about 6ft high aiming right at his favorite bark spot...it's working better. He scratches and digs at their door and goes in faster. Floppy ears are tough with this product.

Did you put the flags up and train him on leash? Walk the perimeter every day a couple times a day for a couple weeks. The training will pay off. We went through the same issues with our Weimaraner. Do not use the shock feature to train. Use the audible signal. The dog does not recognize or "Respect" the fence if he is still bolting through it. Be patient!

I sent the thing back. It didn't work at all from a distance of 40 feet. My best advice in dealing with barking dogs is call the police. There are laws concerning this behavior.

It is really going to depend on the dog. I have two dogs, a Kelpie/Heeler mix and a Pit/? mix. The Kelpie has developed a barking habit, and this doesn't completely stop her, but it has slowed her down. The Pittie absolutely hates it, and will limit him to one bark unless there's actually a problem (someone in the ditch behind the house, etc). I think that Melissa made a good suggestion about keeping the box and trying it out. That was also my plan, and I decided that I would keep the unit. If it doesn't work, you can always send it back.

Michelle....my good dogs show absolutely no reaction to this apparatus. Neither do the yappy dogs next door. I have yet to find a dog that even reacts to it at all. Keep your money or buy some ear plugs....j

Probably not. Whines and soft growls don't trigger the collar. Only barking

The dogs WILL hear it and, as in my neighborhood, they will probably bark more. You can buy things that will bother their they're ears (not permanently just while they are barking). Look up NO BARK PRODUCTS. GOOD LUCK

I have the same issue with one of my furr-babies!!! This has definitely cut back on the amount of pee on my floors and walls but I still think the walls could be about 1-2 inches taller b/c I'm still having occasional instances. IF only they'd make that extra initiative and SQUATT?!!

I had the same problem, what I noticed about this unite unlike a watch dog unit I have the motion detecting part is opposite the speaker, so when I turn it around it worked perfect, also for best use it needs to be about 2 or 3 feet from door or wall or whatever . I hope this helps because that,s all I have. good luck Rita O.

Remember to screw in to an 2x4? Its heavy and try to put a bit of foam or something to take the vibration of from going into the wall? Also center speakers are made to b put in front of th listener's or angle ur speaker down ? This is very important ! And vrak in the speaker for 40-50 hrs of mid high volume? Face the speaker 1 inch from the wall and turn it up for a while. This speaker sucks until u brake the 8 inch speakers in? This is important! !!!! Have fun ,and enjoy !!!!&#128515;

Michelle -We bough this for our huskie/golden retriever mix who weighs 53 lbs. It does not seem to stop him from barking, We are still working on this behavior. Diane

I would say no, at first I could tell that this product did something to my neighbors husky that barks non-stop. After about 5-10 min, back to the same barks. Waste of money.

I can't hear it much, but my assumption is that it's mainly in a frequency range that dogs can hear but we can't. When I tested the location where I should put the flags for training, I looked at the flashing LED on the collar. No way I was going to be still enough to hear the beep for that. It appears that my dog can hear the beep. I don't think the flags taught her all the boundaries and I can't believe she's been shocked that much.

kdawg81-I don't know if you are still having problems with your dogs & neighbors dog but thought I would suggest what we did. Our neighbors dog won't come near our chain link fence but will stand off and bark. We can never see if their dog is out because of trees etc. so there have been times we have opened our door only to have our 2 go nuts up and down our fence line at this dog. A dog trainer recommended the shock type collar for our 2 dogs whenever they went to the fence acting like lunatics. Worked like a charm and quickly. Once and awhile we still put the collars on just to remind them but we are pleased. Yes, they will start to bark but as soon as we call their names they stop and come running. kdawg81-I don't know if you are still having problems with your dogs & neighbors dog but thought I would suggest what we did.

Hi Diane, my dog does that with me a few times a week. Sometimes I angle it a little bit. Sometimes I realize I'm smooshing his nose. This morning he pulled that breath holding jazz and I just rubbed his ears and distracted him. Then he finally took a breath. Good luck!

Mine stopped my dog from barking in a few days and haven't needed to use it anymore. I have loaned it to several friends with similar results

I think it depends on each dog. For the 1st week out dog barked once looked at it & walked away. After a whole she would bark at it non stop.
