Never received product paid for!

By Susan Q., McMinnville, TN, Verified Reviewer

The company is a sham! Paid money for a product that I never received. Wrote an email to state that I did not receive the product. Company is no help! Found tons of bad reviews for the company. I wished I had checked it out before sending this fraudulent company my money! Don't order anything from this company!

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

They're dogs, not cats

By Greta V., Factoryville, PA, Verified Reviewer

If this is ultrasonic then my dogs must be deaf. The only thing that gets their attention is the red light, and then they have to fight with the cats who are also chasing it. Did not change a thing when they were barking at the neighbors again.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Not good at all

By Marcus P., Aberdeen, Scotland, Verified Reviewer

This device didn't work at all with my dog, he didn't pay any attention to it at all. Waste of money for me but not saying that it won't work with other dogs.

Junk

By Charles W., Boaz, AL, Verified Reviewer

This thing doesn’t work. It is a $47 laser pointer.

They will refund $23.97 for your trouble.

I don’t recommend this unless you just want to give your money away.

Waste of £33

By Bruce H., Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

I tried a couple of cheaper versions, read the article below and reviews, paid £33 not realizing it was distributed from America, our Yorkshire Terrier heard something but certainly didn’t take any notice of it. Absolute rubbish. I was unable to leave a review as it just kept stating the line was busy.

Really bad product!

By Louise V., British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

My beagle did not even react to the light or sound cues. This is an utter waste of money! Can’t believe so many people are being scammed on Amazon and Facebook. They offered to refund me $51.96 and keep the product. Why would I want to keep the product if it doesn’t work! I paid $86.58 and get $51.96 back? When other people on reviews returned the product to Idaho, there was no such address. This is a TOTAL SCAM. Buyer beware!

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

Doesn't work

By Frank G. , Omaha, NE

I did not find this product to work at all. When I try to get my dog's attention (from about 7–10 feet away), sometimes he looks at me and then goes about doing what he is doing. Usually, he just ignores me.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Don’t waste your money on this

By John T., Warren, OH, Verified Reviewer

We have huskies and my daughter brings her 2 over also and they just look at me like why are you doing that and keep on doing whatever they want to do. They are well-behaved but I don’t want them barking all the time, so I bought 3 of these hoping it would help. I guess I have expensive flashlights now. I hope no one else gets stuck in the same situation!

Sounds good

By Lyn F., Louisville, KY, Verified Reviewer

I have had this for a couple of months and it doesn’t work at all on my three dogs. I was so excited when I read all the reviews. I have two English Cockers and one large dog. They bark when the other dogs next store come out and they won’t stop. This doesn’t stop them at all. Very disappointed.

Was very disappointed

By Kristiene S., Deming, NM, Verified Reviewer

I purchased this product hoping it would help with the bad behavior of my dogs (barking, jumping up on people and aggression with each other). I followed the instructions that came with it and my dogs looked at me like I was nuts. I kept trying it for several weeks and it did not help one bit. Now I am either not doing something right or this product is a waste of money. I was seriously hoping that this product would help as I am very disappointed.

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