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.

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

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.

BarxBuddy - no more barking

By Judy S., Prior Lake, MN, Verified Reviewer

It was great when I would leave or when I came home he would bark nonstop at least 10 minutes or more. The day I got this I only had to use it twice and it was quick tap to the button with the light on, my dog stopped looked at me, he barked once more, I did the same. This is the last time I had any problems with him barking when I leave or come home. Wish I had this 12 years ago when he was a pup. I have tried other methods and nothing worked. Thanks for helping me solve this problem.

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.

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

Excellent device

By Christina T., Sioux Lookout, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I received the product within two weeks. The battery comes with it. Very easy to use model, size of a small TV remote. It has a "regular mode" and a "stronger mode" function for the more barkier stubborn dogs. The stronger setting has a laser beam and bright light to catch the attention of the dog, the normal setting is just a silent it has no lights but a dog definitely reacts to it.

My Yorkie/Chihuahua runs out the door full speed ahead, barking like a nutbar letting the whole neighborhood know we’re out there. She’s so involved in her barking that breaking her attention is impossible. Enter BarxBuddy! It's been easier to train her now using this product as an added feature during her most stubborn moments. I’m very much against animal cruelty and use this device only when extra reinforcement is required.

I’d recommend this for anybody! I’ve been through 3 expensive bark collars that malfunction or die after so many months.

BarxBuddy has no sound for the humans, but definitely the dog.

It works great as a training tool

By Andrea H., Melbourne, Australia, Verified Reviewer

My 9-month-old Schnoodle barked incessantly at me at people coming to the door, etc. I used it twice with the command "no barking." Followed by heaps of "good boy" praise.

Then 3 times without actually pressing the button. The barking just stopped instantly.

Now I just point my finger and say "no barking" (which is very rare). It worked for us!

He had a barking fit at the groomers and I pointed her black stapler at him and told him "no barking" and he stopped immediately. So the training definitely is in the consistency. He remembers the device. I'm happy, he's happy. It worked for me and my puppy! I haven't needed to use it since. Worth it!

Great training tool

By Dennis C., El Paso, TX, Verified Reviewer

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.

BarxBuddy is really great

By Karen K., Auckland, New Zealand, Verified Reviewer

Many thanks for the BarxBuddy and your other great products. Our nine-month-old Poodle cross puppy started barking very loudly recently whenever she hears other dogs, someone comes to the door, or she hears an unusual noise. I ordered a BarxBuddy and it worked immediately. It is an excellent product, a great size, as well as being very well made. Your communication, back up, and postal service were all excellent too. I am delighted, many thanks.

Works great!

By MaryJo B., Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

I have a rescue pitbull that is pretty well trained but still needs some work. Second day we have her, and she's a 2-year-old, she starts barking and pushing on my disabled husband. She was listed as a trained rescue which is why we checked her out. Anyways, at least once a day she would pull this crap because she wants treats. We bought the BarxBuddy and it stopped her bad behavior and lays down being a good girl. Mad, but good. Hope this helps!

Amazing

By Diana A., Enfield, Nova Scotia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Received earlier this week it’s amazing.

I have two Tibetan Spaniels, four years old.

My female is the worst barker. The device worked immediately, have now added praise and reward.

My male was more difficult, used whistle and light. Treat treats! Now he gets it.

I have spent $500 on different collars.

But BarxBuddy WINS! Thank you.
