BarxBuddy

We have a 2-year-old Pyrenees mix (100lbs). She was adopted and untrained. I've spent 12 solid days with her - and it never worked...not once! It had no, zero, nada effect on her...while she continued to bark at everything. Completely ineffective. She doesn't even acknowledge it. This device is nothing more than a flashlight.

Might work on a domestic rat, but not a big dog!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

I purchased a BarxBuddy about 2 weeks ago and have found that is absolutely a joke. If anyone says otherwise, they must be in on the scam!

This may work for limited in-house barking but does not work for barking at doorbells or dogs at the fence. Unfortunately, I was not able to return the item because the return policy is not posted to the website.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

I ordered two by mistake. I would have kept both if the device had an effect. I returned them both after ten days but never heard from them.

I bought them to contribute to excessive barking. I used them exactly as suggested but neither of my dogs responded in any way. They did not seem to recognize any difference and continued to bark.

Most disappointing is that I lost money on two devices since one was ordered by mistake.

I returned them with a letter, by priority mail. They did not respond and my attempts to reach them by phone failed.

Gave it one star because what I ended up with in the end was an expensive LED flash light with a built-in laser cat toy, 4 stars from the cat.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

The email address for a return does not work. The phone number is a sales number. I tried this with my dog and no reaction. The cat played with the laser.

Does not work on my dog. Want to return. Red light only makes her look at the light while barking. It is imperative that this item be returned and a refund issued as soon as possible. Your fast attention to this matter would be gratefully appreciated.

This thing appears to only be a flashlight and red dot light. There is no setting for “sound only.” I tested my theory on both of my dogs by holding it over their heads pointed toward their tails so that they cannot see the light. They only reacted to the click of the switch with no other reaction to any “sound,” even when I held it on for 10–20 seconds. This thing emits no sound unless they cannot hear it 2 inches from their ears. Fraud/scam.

No way to verify shipping. Order was delivered but was left on front steps, could have been stolen because did not know it was going to be delivered. I usually have my porch door open when expecting a delivery, but again, no way to verify it was going to be delivered.

I received the BarxBuddy and tried it right away with our Yorkie who is 7 months old. It made things worse. I tried it with and without the red light. When my dog started misbehaving I activated the product. Immediately my dog started barking at the light, runs away, and comes right back to me. He then starts barking if he sees me holding the BarxBuddy. I am returning this product for a refund. I am not saying this doesn't work at all, just not with our dog.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I ordered a BarxBuddy unit and my credit card was billed a total of $74.90. After ordering it I realized I purchased the same item a few months ago. It had no effect whatsoever on my dog so I chalked it up as a lesson learned and put it away. I forgot all about it until it was too late to cancel my order.

How do I go about returning this item and will I get a full refund. When things like this happen it is a warning that I should stop shopping online!

Please advise me where I should send this unit to for a refund! Thank you!

Regards.

P.S. "Bottom Line" I assume it has been very successful on other dogs - just not mine. I would recommend to a friend - always worth a try!
