has anyone an experience with pets or animals? their hearing is super sensitive. i'd hate to get it &amp; see my small dog's ears are perked up all the time. i can always tell when something's going on by watching them detect sounds inside and around us...

Our golden doodle is in our room at night and my machine is on all night. Some of the background noises for the ocean waves are birds and other beach related sounds and she sleeps like a baby!

Sounds like your dogs are very sensitive. I would think this would scare them, but one of my dogs completely ignore it and the other runs the other way to hide. I hope this helps.

Hi Patsy, About 4years ago I had purchased one and it worked fine. Animals would squeal when they came within the sensor. I have just purchased 2 new ones and they do not work like the first one. The light comes on as you say, but the animals don't even notice. I recommend you return them. They don't work. I have tried having them closer together. I have monitored at night time when the racoons and skunks come. I don`t know what the problem is. I have tried varies things to see if it would make a difference, but no change. Send them back, the company should know that they do not work. There is no volume control to adjust the volume to see if that would make a difference. Mine are going back too. I am sorry if I misled you. I am disappointed with them. I hope you can find something that works. I`m trying to find something as well. Joan

Same thing with our dogs. I wonder if they just adapt to it and bark anyway. I guess the noise they hear is not strong enough to be a deterrent. It might work with some dogs.

its really weird that I got this question today. Up until about 3 days ago it was perfect. People could hear from quite a distance. Now in the car people cannot understand what I'm saying. Its very sensitive but it seems like you're not blocking noise. Its not blocking noise. I was thinking of calling them to find out what was up. Been real disappointed lately period last 3 4 days

I have two dogs, a Great Dane and a Shi-tzu. Neither are bothered by the sound. They don't even notice it. So, I am confident to say it doesn't harm cats or dogs.

I'm veterinary and from work is a very good device to clinically examine ears, eardrums of my patients. I tested in adults and people also noticed to be very good!

How are your pet ears? I bought a midium size for my spaniel breton with floppy ears and I think the big size would have been a better choize. (he is about 20 kilos smaller than a labrador retriever) I use to put his ears inside the cups but anyhow they don´t fit perfectly, but he can hear less this way. Thus is his ears made the first layer and then the cup...I ordered them delivered to Spain so I didn´t give them back but I am sure the big side would help my dog much more against fireworks

The collar emits a very weak sound can only be heard approaching the ear. Be careful to do it may be shocked. The dog listens well that sound. My dog is wearing the collar for over a year and it works perfectly. It is imperative to training the dog as the manufacturer instruction. It is long and tiring but it is very important to do it well.

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!

Our dogs are giant breed and relatively young (ages 4-7), so I'm not comfortable answering about old dogs. The noise is rather like a hissing sound (like an exaggerated form of the sound aerosol hairspray makes) and it releases a calming pheromone. It's not loud (not like an airhorn or anything like that) but for some reason the dogs find it an unpleasant sound and after a bit they stop. As to biting the groomer, I might suggest you talk with a dog trainer for ideas on that. We've had great luck with the Petsmart trainers in our area in helping solve some of our rescue dog issues. Good luck!!

Seems to respond to the sound, as I did see it emit citronella when my other dog barked immediately adjacent to the wearer. She wears the collar over her neck fir at night, no shaving. I usually leave the collar off during daylight hours.

I think a blind dog would be ok with this unit. I have two cats and a Dog, all enjoy it very much. It took them a short while to get used to slight hum (to my ears, something new). Must change it when it says (weekly) or it gets slightl musty smell.

That happened to me once. I heard what sounded like a diseased bird every few seconds while I was in another room. I remember that I touched the product the previous time I'd washed my hands, but I must have touched on the sensor in such a way that it constantly detected something. Clean off the sensor, and see what happens.

Based solely on my experience with my Malinois who has developed aversions to most beeps, thunder, fireworks etc. I would have to unfortunately say no. I have gone back to my original aid which is benedryl when I know she is going to encounter something that will upset her, as well as trying positive reinforcement when she doesn't freak out by distracting her with treats. I do not believe they worked as well as the mack's earplugs that I myself use based on her reactions with them on.

It is very quiet. I have to be in the room with to hear it. However, I would think a dog would be okay since their hearing and sense of smell is so much more acute than ours plus I think the dog would get to where it is in a very short time.

On my very stubborn Airedale-Great Pyreenes, I used it all the time initially. (Ionly use the vibration, not the shock but he acts as if he has been stung by bees.) Although he wore it constantly, I would just work on one behavior (barking, eating poo, 'wait', and now, I have given up on the poo thing because I just wasn't up to watching him every second he was outside). I've also failed in the 'don't eat off the counter' thing. He just drank a whole glass of Baileys, so this could be an interesting evening. I take it off now (he's nearly two) until the behavior we've been working on pops up again, or he's having a particularly bad day. I can't say enough nice things about the widget. I tried a shock collar first, and I would watch him grit his teeth and just take it...not stopping barking at all.
