 Didn't work for my dog. September 17, 2007

I have a strong willed Rott/Shepard mix that likes to bark. I purchased this in hopes it would solve the problem...it didn't! The dog actually went as far as pulling it down and playing with it! Cute item...great idea...just didn't work for my dog.

After months of trying anti-bark collars and verbal command training with nothing but continued failure, we almost gave up completely on our newly adopted pup. Our dilema led us to a serious decision about sending the dog to the adoption agency or having the surgery to remove his voice. Both options sounded cruel. Cruel to the new owner who would acquire a barking problem and cruel to a sweet dog that likes barking at squirrels, foxes and neighborhood dogs. We talked to a local pet trainer who suggested we try this product. Cheers & Hugs all around! This thing worked instantly. No shocking, no confusion and we still get to keep our dog. It works in all kinds of weather and even helps to quiet our neighbors dog. What a nice bonus that is. Thank you Petsafe for another great idea.
No deterrent to my neighbors' dogs March 4, 2008

We have been blessed with new neighbors with three large dogs. The dogs bark at everyone who passes, including my family every time we enter our back yard. I purchased the Petsafe PBC00-11216 in an attempt to tone this annoyance down and left it in place for three weeks. I mounted it on a post facing their yard and noticed no reaction from the dogs. The indicator turned on in response to the barking, but the dogs did not seem to react at all.
Total Waste on Loud Street January 7, 2008

This box goes off everytime a loud noise happens around it. When my neighbor starts her car it goes off, when a car drives by on the street it goes off, when I shut the front door it goes off...etc. I live on a small street in Key West so its pretty cramped housing. We have lots of dogs around our house so our little dog is always barking with the neighbors dogs when someone walks down the street. I feel bad hanging this box outside and having it go off every five minutes when any loud noises occur and hurting the ears of all the dogs around. Plus, they can't learn that their barking is causing it when it goes off all of the time.
And it rarely goes off when my dog barks anyway.
It now hangs in the tree out front in the off mode.
No Effect January 19, 2008

This "deterrent" has had zero effect on my neighbor's dogs. In fact, they run right up near the thing (within 2 or 3 feet) and seemingly bark AT it. And they don't stop. They just seem to be annoyed at it rather than learning not to bark. I am not impressed with this product and question the legitimacy of the 5 star reviews. I do not recommend this item. The merchant, Key Products, was excellent, however. I did receive it within 4 days of ordering with regular shipping and I would recommend them. Just not for this product.
