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.

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

Great training tool!

By Cathy Z., Idaho, Verified Reviewer

I have 2 dogs who bark loudly whenever anyone comes to the door. Because we have a very high ceiling and they bark so loudly you couldn't hear yourself think! The BarxBuddy worked just great! I only had to do it a couple of times before they stopped doing it. I could not believe my dogs were so silent! This is a great training tool, and I highly recommend it to anyone who experiences the same problems I did. The price was great, it worked well, and it doesn't hurt the dogs, which is of utmost importance to me! Thank you!

Works

By Clint M., Indiana, Verified Reviewer

When my dogs start to get a little rough this snaps them out of it. I've had good luck with similar products and thought I would try this one, works great.

Two Bichons with barking issues

By Jeanette C., Arizona, Verified Reviewer

I have noticed the 1st day with BarxBuddy that my boys have stopped barking immediately when I would use this as a training tool! Best product, have recommended to others! Now if I just show them BarxBuddy they stop barking!

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.

BarxBuddy dog trainer

By Peggy B., Corunna, MI, Verified Reviewer

When I received the device, I was a bit skeptical. I opened it and installed the battery. I care for my little grand dog who is a mini Shih Tzu and is a habitual barker and growler when a stranger approaches. I pointed the remote at him and pressed the button. He immediately sat and stopped barking. I was amazed! I then proceeded to test it further and gave a command to come. He usually just sits and looks at me, but he got up and came over and sat by my feet. I have since showed and demonstrated to my neighbors and they were going to place their orders. Now, I don't even have to push the button. He just sees me pick it up and quickly falls in line. Thank you...you have a winner!

It works!

By Debbie T., Sewell, NJ, Verified Reviewer

At first I thought another usless item to add to my many purchases to stop my dog from barking. When it arrived I was excited to use it. It's going to take time but actually she has quieted down and as soon as I pick up the device, she looks at it and remains calm.

So far this is the best one and like I mentioned you have to be consistent with it.

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.

Doesn't even acknowledge it

By Reese K., Washington, Verified Reviewer

I saw this on Pinterest one time while scrolling with the title "Do you yell at your dog to start barking? Try this instead!" This intrigued me because my Cocker Spaniel CONSTANTLY barks at everything. We've tried everything from simply yelling at her, to bark collars, and even shock collars. And nothing works. She either doesn't acknowledge the noise or feeling, or it takes her a couple of minutes to finally lay off. At this point, it is annoying my whole household as her bark echoes throughout the whole house. So I thought maybe I'd give this a try. When we got it in the mail I took off her current Bark Collar and let her loose outside (where she spends all of her time barking). She immediately started barking at the neighbors behind us who were working on their yard. I slowly walked up to her with the device and pressed the button. Nothing. Not even a reaction. I brought her inside and sat her on the couch and pressed the button. She perked up the first time, and I tried it throughout the day, but she only ever had the reaction the first time. She didn't even acknowledge it. I don't know if it's her, or if it's the device. Also, everyone in my household can hear the device and they claimed humans couldn't hear it. I want to return this, please. It doesn't work.

So far so good

By Anne M., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Very good results so far. Although you never really know what you're buying through the internet, I thought I'd give this product a try. My Pomeranian, a sweet but horribly yappy dog, responded instantly. My Shih-tzu also responded but not quite so dramatically; she's a bit deaf in one ear so perhaps that made the difference.

If the device continues to work this well, I will be thrilled. I have had that Pom for 10 years and her barking has been stressful to the point where it interferes with the enjoyment that should come with taking the pups for a walk.

Thank you!
