Junk

By Cherryl M., Council Bluffs, IA, Verified Reviewer

I ordered this once I reserved my puppy. After receiving our puppy, the first time I tried to use the BarxBuddy the on button jammed into the device and is inoperable. Do NOT buy this is a piece of junk!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Site scam

Terrible customer service!

By Bruce B., Westlake Village, CA, Verified Reviewer

I ordered the BarxBuddy devise on December 17th and this company promptly debited my credit card for $47.90. As I write this, I have not received a confirmation from them for my order or shipping information. Every online merchant I shop with provides this information, but not them, just silence! Until I checked my credit card transactions I didn’t even know if they got my order, I still have no idea when it shipped and is expected to arrive! Buyer beware, they have no customary confirmation email or shipping information, they win the award for worst customer service!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

POS

By Raquel R., Austin, TX, Verified Reviewer

I never received an order confirmation from the company, thanks to PayPal for their order confirmations. I've tried to use this on several occasions, from barking to chewing on shoes. My dog has no reaction to it. If the light didn't come on, I wouldn't have a clue if the batteries even worked. I've tried it on other dogs, thinking it was only my dog that wouldn't respond. It didn't affect either of the 3 dogs' behavior. Wasted money, time, and effort with the BarxBuddy. If it wasn't a hassle to return, I'd have done so immediately.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Total waste of time!

By Gary R., Maryville, TN, Verified Reviewer

I ordered this product from its website. I’m glad I used PayPal is all I can say, if not, I probably would still be waiting for it. I received it about a week and a half later with no notice of any kind, it just showed up in my mailbox. After trying it for about 2 weeks all I get is more barking from my Yorkie and no reaction at all to the light or supposed noise. I will be sending it back, like I said, thank God I used PayPal, if you will notice the phone number is not complete, at least it is on PayPal. If I don’t get my money refunded in a week I will file a complaint with PayPal and the BBB for selling a product that does not work. The positive reviews on here must be from the company's workers or paid employees.

Expensive flashlight

By Richard H., Australia, Verified Reviewer

Tried this device on several dogs and it had no effect. The advertising leads you to believe it will stop any dog barking, it doesn't. It is a cheap piece of plastic made in China with a couple of useless lights in it. Be careful if you order as there is a tab that is well-positioned for you to accidentally hit and end up with a pair of nail expensive clippers. Ended up paying AUS $71.00. Should have used a rolled-up newspaper on my hand, works better.

I have not received my ordered product. Why?

By Michael C., New Zealand, Verified Reviewer

I have expected to receive this device to stop my dog from barking. Coming from? Where on earth is it coming from? It seems like a swindle to me at the moment. You seem to have good processes in place, were considerate in making sure the purchase was cochere but I am most disappointed that it hasn't yet arrived. Please explain or send me another if you feel the original purchase has gone astray for some reason.

Unsatisfied

By Terri M., Riverside, CA, Verified Reviewer

My first Buddy only lasted 3 weeks. I ordered a second one and it has done the same thing. I would not recommend this product. At first, my dog responded, then within the 3-week period she failed to recognize the alert and continued to bark. Funny thing, my husband can pick up the alert through his hearing aide.

It does NOT work. The light doesn’t even work!

By Grace N., Syracuse, NY, Verified Reviewer

Received mine in a timely manner, however, it doesn’t work. The light doesn’t even work! I’m hoping they will replace it with a new one that does work. I have two dogs, one is a 4-month puppy and the other is 9 years old. My 9-year-old barks at every little sound inside and outside. Nothing I say nor do stops her from barking. She has taught the puppy to bark at everything as well.

Does not work

By Delalee B., Nassau, NY, Verified Reviewer

Shipping was fast. I tried it with all 3 of my dogs, it doesn't seem to even get a response at all from any of them. Not sure why I thought it would, but it was worth a try, but I wasted my money again.

Doesn’t work for me

By Allan O., Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

My dog would bark nonstop in another room and if I tried to use the device through the walls or at a distance it would not work, it would not stop him from barking, but if I entered the room in which she was barking and he saw me he would stop barking immediately, and that is without the use of the device. I took the device with me for a walk with my dog thinking if other dogs would bark at him that I could use the device to stop those dogs, but it didn’t work there either, and maybe because I was 20 to 40 feet away but it did not stop those other dogs from barking at my dog. Fortunately, I could control my dog so he wouldn’t bark under those circumstances, but then again, that’s without using the device on my dog. I will try to find my order number and forward it to you when I find it, thanks.
