Can you use this with two dogs at the same time? If so, how? I'm planning to use it to keep them calm when visitors come to my house. Thanks.

Depends. Maybe if dogs are small and if they can share food. Only 1-10 treats at a time are dispensed and the feeding dish area is small

Good question. Personally I would not try this. It sounds as though your dogs get highly excited when you have guests. Having two dog approaching the treat trainer at the same time could encourage a fight. I am not even sure they would respond to the treat trainer if the doorbell is ringing. If they can handle a sit stay or down stay that would be best. Guests should always ignore the dogs until they settle down. You do not state if these are large or small dogs. Enclose them in an other room or outdoors until your guests have settled then introduce the dogs. Hope this helps.

Actually I stopped using it due to the noise it makes. My dog liked it a lot at first but then, after just a couple of weeks, he stopped wanting to use it, partially due to how noisy it is. I don't know if you could get 2 dogs to use it at the same time. You also need to be very careful as to what food you use because it jams a lot and then you have to un-jam it before it will work again. I don't recommend this product. It was expensive and it didn't work for my dog.

The directions reccomended working with one dog and getting them trained and then work with the second dog. The directions and DVD were very helpful and you can use it i. Many training situations. It is probably the best training tool I have invested in.

We used ours to stop excessive barking and from running off. After you have used it on them a few times, when you pick up the unit and they see it they usually will stop what they are doing. You would have to catch them in the act and then shoot them with it. Good luck.

They can tug each other. I just make my other dog pause while the one needs to do his business. Hope this helps.

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.

We have 2 dogs - their individual collars are triggered by the barking offender only. They do not trigger the other dog's collar (the non-barker). Best. Collar. Ever. There is peace in the house!

I train dogs for a living. If any of the dogs in the house has very sensitive personalities it may be to much. If they are not sensitive at all it may not work because they may not be sensitive enough to care about the sound. What every you use has to be more important to stop then why they are barking in the first place. I hope this helps

Unit works with my two larger dogs (boxers) within 10 feet. However it has no effect on our Morkie. We use this near the front door to help quite the dogs when visitors come. This is our second unit, first one was destroyed by a kid and we felt it worked enough to warrant a replacement. Good Luck.

You can easily use only one and keep the other one for a backup just incase something goes wrong, but I have used them with large dogs (they do tend to jump them), puppies, goats, and chickens and so far everything is still in perfect working order!

Oh totally! Just make sure your dogs meet the weight requirement. I love mine .. My dog is not such a fan but she's getting use to it. I feel so much better know she's safe when traveling with me.

Yes! It is great! I have used them with my two English Bulldogs, one since she was a puppy and the other when I brought her home (he was 5). It has an immediate calming effect on mine. Love it!

All I can say is that I've had no luck whatsoever with this whistle with any dog at all. You can change the volume by sliding the two pieces in and out. I've tried that.My cats can hear it, perk up their ears and then sit/lie back down. That's the only response I ever get.I'm sure the dogs can hear it, but responding? I doubt it. Just my experience.

Yes I do... the good thing I found is that you it turns off automatically when the dog is not moving at all.I tried not to fit it thight to the dog, but not to loose as well.

It didn't work for me either. Neither of my dogs heard it. One is a puppy and one is an older dog.

You can buy a second transmitter. Kind of expensive but worth it.We have 2 transmitters with 3 dogs on them. We keep 1 transmitter near our bedroom window on the south end of the house. The other transmitter is in the north end of our detached garage, which has them well over 100 feet apart. Having 2 transmitters gives our dogs a HUGE area to roam in. :)

Yes! And, Yes! We have 1 dog and two cats. All the animals were hesitant to go through and it took a little bit to get them to understand the process. But, with some GREAT treats, you stand on one side and have them on the other, and coax them through. It's amazingly easy for them to 'break' the barrier, it's just new to them. TREATS!!!

Yes I have two dogs with two remotes just make sure you label the collar and remote, but of course if you are using the noise element for control then all the dogs can hear it, but the vibrate works really well with my dogs.
