BarxBuddy

By Charlaine L., Canada, Verified Reviewer

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!

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

Performance

By Virinder S., Brooklyn, NY, Verified Reviewer

It works great and met my expectations. I think I will be recommending to other people. I have more control over my dog not only in barking but also training him in other behaviors as well like not destroying the furniture, and not to pick up garbage and hosts of other behavior patterns.

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

Very interesting device

By Timothy D., Oregon, Verified Reviewer

Works well with barking dogs (we have two), but it only distracts because of the lights. It does not really train or discourage them from barking. Not sure I would purchase if I knew in advance from someone who had one and told me what it does.

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

Love this item

By Michiele J., Colorado, Verified Reviewer

I have two chihuahua mixes and they bark at anything going past the house. And their bark is very high pitched. They are too small for bark collars and yelling at them didn't work. So when I saw this product I was hopeful. With the first time I used it they responded by stopping their barking. It works. Now all I have to do is pick it up. And it stopped the neighbor's dog from barking at me. Love this product.

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

Opening battery compartment

By Denise A., Concord, CA, Verified Reviewer

I cannot open the back where the batteries go so I don't even know if I have to buy batteries. There is an arrow that points upward, I can't do it, please advise. I will ask a male friend if he can open the compartment. I am not able to work with my dog as of yet. I cannot give a positive or negative review until I can open the batteries compartment.

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

Great response

By Darlene H., Kirkland, WA, Verified Reviewer

Really fast service, loved the comments from others that purchased. We haven't tried yet as the little monster has not barked or whined since the package was delivered! Hope we never need to use, but have it if we do.

BarxBuddy

By Linda J F., Indiana, Verified Reviewer

Yes, I like my BarxBuddy. Two of my dogs perked up instantly when I turned it on. So I know it is working.

I have to be careful as I had no instructions that came with it. I do not want the red laser to harm them, so I have to be careful to not to use it close to their eyes.

I will enjoy learning to use it to train all 3 of my dogs to stop barking when someone rings the doorbell.

And when my 2-year-old Australian Shepherd Husky tries to jump up on someone. I will see if that will help even though this product is supposed to stop barking! But I will try it on him!

Thank you again for the BarxBuddy.

So far, so good

By Ronda R., Oregon, Verified Reviewer

I received my BarxBuddy just a few days ago. I was surprised to see that it came with its own 9-volt battery. I installed it immediately. I have dogs and 3 of them are Chihuahuas and they bark a lot and very loud. I used it starting from the same day that I received it and they all stopped barking as soon as I pushed the button. And as they started barking again after a few seconds I pushed it again. I did that several times and each time they stopped and continued to remain quiet finally once they realized that that noise would begin again if they barked. It will take a while for them to be trained to not bark any more when company arrives and leaves.

Thank you.

Great tool

By Melinda M., Stephenville, TX, Verified Reviewer

I have a sweet dog that is very loving in nature, but she’s a barker. It can be for any reason, and I know she’s just trying to talk to me, so I try not to constantly yell at her. I’ve known for some time that I needed something to help me to reach her without being angry. I saw an advertisement on Facebook and it looked like an answer to my problem. I’m so excited that it has been absolutely wonderful. I just used it a couple of times and now all I need to do is pick it up and she stops barking. I also noticed she settles down and I’m able to talk to her. There’s no barking or yelling. It’s a win-win. Thank you so much for making this easily available and affordable.

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.

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

This works

By Donna A., South Carolina, Verified Reviewer

We have an Aussie and a Chihuahua. When we take them outside they start barking. The barking is so nerve-racking so my husband would spank them to keep them from barking but that didn't work either. So I saw BarxBuddy on Facebook. I told my husband about it, he said order one, let's try it to see if it really works, so I ordered one and when we got it my husband used it on our dogs and it worked. We love BarxBuddy. I will recommend it to everyone. It really does work.

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