Haven't had any issues

By Cynthia H., New Hampshire, Verified Reviewer

I bought this because my Teddy loves to bark when I am on the phone, someone at the door, playing with our 2 cats, and etc. When I have pushed the button he has stopped. The cats are completely afraid of it. I am hoping it really doesn't hurt any one of our animals even though it seems to be working. I would love to hear from a vet to see if it does hurt them. I wouldn't at any time want to hurt my animals as they are my children to me.

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

Don’t work

By Brenda C., Little Rock, AR, Verified Reviewer

I receive my PetGentle today, 3/14/20, and it’s not working at all. I thought it just needs batteries, can’t find where you would put them. So I can say is I was scammed good. As to if I would recommend it, NO.

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

Don’t buy this

By Diane L., Boston, MA, Verified Reviewer

I was looking forward to this being a good training tool but it had absolutely no effect on my dog at all. Tested her several times and called support 3 times. Only got a 65 percent refund. Don’t buy this!

It does not stop the dog from doing anything

By Donald S., Granbury, TX, Verified Reviewer

I have had one for about ten years and it does not work as promised. My Chihuahuas ignore it but my big dog loves to chase the red light on the floor. This is a ripoff!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

This product is awesome, love it!

By Kendra K., Burbank, CA, Verified Reviewer

This product is so awesome, I can't believe it. Hey people, when you first get the PetGentle, don't forget you got to hook up the battery before trying it! I have 2 mixed small terriers. The male, Trigger, when I go to take my horse out, he is carrying on cause he wants to go too. Can't always take him. The PetGentle is amazing, I stepped towards him held the button while saying the command "Quiet" released and by golly it worked like magic. I showed my friend how well it worked. Now she is buying one for her dogs. It's really a lifesaver. I absolutely love this product! I give it 10 stars!

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

Does not work

By Nancy I., Cowpens, SC, Verified Reviewer

I was excited to order PetGentle for my little Yorkie Poo, for barking, jumping on people, etc.

It worked a total of 3 days. Then it was just a flashlight, and red light. Very disappointed in all the hype. Then I started reading the reviews and saw so many with the same issue.

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

Trauma

By Patricia B., Puyallup, WA, Verified Reviewer

I ordered the "PetGentle", and the first time I used on my Australian Blue Heeler, he responded. My Chihuahua was nearby, and the device TRAUMATIZED him! Every time my Chihuahua saw the PetGentle, he would run and hide, wouldn't stop shaking, and wouldn't leave our sides when he wasn't hiding, had panting spells. So besides the $110.00, I paid for the three PetGentles, which should have only been two PetGentle. I also had a $120 vet bill. The vet said the chihuahua was traumatized, and gave him some medicine to help him calm down. MY advice: DO NOT USE ON SMALL DOGS!

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

PetGentle

By BJ K., Cottonwood, CA, Verified Reviewer

Bought it a year ago, came with battery perfect, works perfectly! Use at home, in the yard, on walks, works perfectly on "others" off the leash running free dogs. VERY HAPPY with it! Sorry, NO complaints, just really pleased. 5 FIVE stars (turns to blue from gold after third or fourth star)...

Doesn't work on my dog

By James H., Texas, Verified Reviewer

It doesn't work on my dog, I guess maybe because she said it's a puppy. She's a 6-month-old Australian shepherd and Blue Heeler, she attacks and doesn't listen when I use it on her. I even give her treats whenever she does something right but this device is not working for me.

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

Works wonders

By Kaitlyn D., San Ramon, CA, Verified Reviewer

This product is highly recommended. I’ve got an extremely smart stubborn dog that is way too smart for his own good. He thought that he was the king of everything, lol. The minute I got this product I was eagerly waiting to try it to see if I’d make any improvements. It worked immediately with him and was worth every penny. After about 3 days or so all I need to do is grab for it and he immediately stops whatever it is that he’s doing.

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

Useless

By Jennifer W., Leicester, England, Verified Reviewer

Took a while to arrive. The red light works but my dog shows no reaction. He just carries on barking! I checked battery and removed the wrapping. No difference. Not worth the money. Was only shown good reviews.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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