BarxBuddy

Works GREAT! Would really have given it a 4 and 1/2 star because the instructions need to clearly specify that you remove the battery and carefully look at it and remove the shrink wrap plastic around the battery itself, which is very difficult to even detect because it's so form-fitting, in addition, you have to remove the black plastic sleeve around the connection points to get the battery to work. Again, this should be very clearly written on the instruction sheet or on the box. Otherwise, the device works excellent. That is probably why some of the reviews say that the device does not work at all. Because they did not discover how to correctly unwrap the battery and the connection points and put it together so that it worked. My friend has 12 little small dogs in the house and they run in a pack. Once one barks, they all start barking and carrying on. This device worked right away and over the next couple days, they have gotten much quieter and do not jump to start barking and carrying on like they used to and drive you nuts. BarxBuddy REALLY DOES WORK.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

She doesn’t know how to react to it yet. She jumps and runs when she sees it in my hand even before I have used it.

However, I ended up accidentally ordering two of the devices so I need to return one. How do I go about doing that?

I got the BarxBuddy but left for a trip and just got home so haven’t had a chance to really use it. The BarxBuddy arrived in a timely manner. Tried it a few times today and it seemed to stop the barking, but as the instructions say, consistency and rewards when your dog stops barking will help. So if you are looking for a miracle without any effort, don’t purchase.

I need instructions on the installation of the battery. I removed the wrapper but cannot determine how it fits inside. Could you please send instructions? I have never seen one like this. I am anxious to use BarxBuddy!

It appears to work. The dogs stopped barking immediately.

I can just pick it up and they behave. I don't like writing reviews and I especially don't like being required to write a certain number of characters but I decided to write one and include my objections.

Just received it this AM, and both the dogs and I are going through a steep learning curve. They all know papa has a new device and we are tired of all the barking. Give me a week or so, and I think all I will have to do is show them it in my hand and the bad behavior will be gone.

Just received this today. My dog started the relentless barking and immediately stopped when I pressed the button...told her "no bark" and when she didn't start again praised her. I am hoping this is an indication of her controlling her barking.

It is hard to say if it is the BarxBuddy or the NO because we cannot hear the high pitch of the device. We push the button and say NO, and the dog turns and looks at us and stops barking for a time. So I guess either way, if it is the device or the NO, it's a method of training and we'll see if the response continues. We haven't been using too long yet because we had it shipped to our seasonal home. So in general, I would say training is the key and the device is not harmful, so ok to try.

Despite a lengthy duration of shipping and no shipping information to track, I am so incredibly happy with this product! I have a very territorial chihuahua who goes off at anything that moves. This product instantly shut him up! It's fantastic. As long as you're using the product with proper reinforcement this will definitely work for the long run.

My boy barks constantly at people passing through the hall and I am always yelling for him to get away from the door. Fortunately, everyone knows and loves him and it doesn't bother them ("Hi Oreo!"). When I saw BarxBuddy advertised on a site at work, I was thinking it wouldn't hurt to try it. The first day I got it, he barked at the door and I hit the button. He came running back and went under the bed. Too happy. Now when he barks, I hit the button from another room and he stops. The best investment I ever made. I'm thinking about buying a few and give them as gifts to friends who have dogs.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I purchased a BarxBuddy and yes I was a little concerned too but the thing actually works. My dog barks at the TV non-stop, well, not anymore - point, aim, press button, he stops instantly! Wonderful little gadget!
