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!

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

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.

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

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.

Don't buy! Doesn't work, plus company rips you off.

By Angela N., Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I have 2 German Shepherds and 3 dogs that are direct neighbors, I attempted to use it for barking, pulling on a walk, whining in the car on the way to the park, didn't work at all, not once. I attempted to email support multiply times and all my emails were returned/rejected, I plan to call the phone number tomorrow. On top of that, they double charged me and then gave me a refund for a lesser amount, overcharging me $20 after I used the $10 off coupon.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Yes, it works!

By Judie M., Limerick, PA, Verified Reviewer

I haven't even had the BarxBuddy a week yet, but the results right from the beginning have been incredible! My dog isn't really even a barker, but she needed to learn not to jump and push, when to drop what she shouldn't have, and other bad behaviors. She responded instantly. She is becoming an angel and she isn't being harmed in any way. I think she loves me more now! And I her.

Whistle didn't work and I had to pay shipping both ways

By Lynn M., Scottsdale, AZ, Verified Reviewer

The light feature comes on constantly but the whistle either didn't work at all or had no effect on my dogs. I have had 10 dogs in the last 20 years, with 4 currently, and have always had products like this work. Needed a new one and saw this. Easy to return and customer service was very nice, however, I am responsible for shipping both ways ($16 total). Not worth it for an item that may be broken. Will not recommend.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Easy to hold

Arrived quickly

Easy to contact customer service and Andres was very pleasant

Product was defective, only lights worked

My responsibility to pay shipping both ways for a defective item

No offer to replace with another, so no responsibility by the company for their product

Do not purchase

By Laura H. , Virginia

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

Didn't work

By Deena G., Palm Springs, CA, Verified Reviewer

Tried to use the device according to directions. My Shephard Mix was not impressed in any way, with the so-called sound or light show. I have read the reviews and it seems to work better on small animals. Difficult to trust something I can't hear. I would love to see test results from a lab that can detect high-frequency sound. Otherwise, hard to say whether it's a hoax. Customer Service, however, was much more responsive than the device. Refunded the cost and the shipping I paid upfront (not the return) after I requested they do so. No arguments!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Pros and Cons

Customer service quick refund

Works!

By Carol M., Tilbury, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

It is a great tool. Tried many other products, none worked. This one really works! I would not recommend it if it didn't work.

Much happier now that there is no barking. I can come home now after being gone for a few hours and not be non-stop barked at.
