PetGentle

By Connie C., Smyrna, TN, Verified Reviewer

This device is useless. As far as I can tell it’s a light and that’s it! Not even good enough to use as a torch. Can be used as a light to play with a cat, if you have one. Don’t waste your money. I waited 3 weeks to receive this.

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

Product does not work on our dog.

By Roger M., Nebraska, Verified Reviewer

We purchased a PetGentle last month. We have used it on both settings with no response. Our dog is pretty hyper, so we thought that the PetGentle would help. What should we do with our PetGentle? I think it should be sent back to you with a refund of the cost. Will you please contact me at your earliest convenience. Thanks.

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

Great result

By Wendy N., Bournemouth, United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

I received PetGentle yesterday and already my dog Freddie is responding very well when I use it. Constant loud barking has always been a problem on car journeys making them torture. Now, however, with the aid of PetGentle they are enjoyable and, even more important, QUIET! I was somewhat dubious before I received your product, after reading the negative reviews, but now I'd like to redress the balance by stating how pleased I am that I purchased PetGentle.

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

Do not waste your money! Doesn't work!

By Deb T., Texas, Verified Reviewer

I ordered this product in hopes of decreasing the barking from having several dogs. I ordered it based on the reviews, but looking back, they seem to be canned propaganda. I will be requesting a refund as this was a total waste of money. So disappointed, as I am looking for a product that really works. I wish I could give zero stars for the review.

Hope to get money back

By Holly S., Kentucky, Verified Reviewer

Purchased to use with one dog that barks and bites at your feet anytime you leave the house.

It did not work at all. It does work very well at calling my other two dogs. They hear the sound and come to track it. Sends them into a search frenzy.

Sorry, but it is a big thumbs down from me. All it did was even further agitate my dog.

Bottom Line: No, I would not 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

Love PetGentle

By Chantel T., Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I purchased a PetGentle and I cannot rave about it enough. Our territorial dog has learned very quickly that aggressive barking at people walking by isn't acceptable. The PetGentle absolutely took her attention away from outside distractions and stopped the incessant barking. When activated, her barking ceases and she comes to us and nudges the device, she will then sit and is rewarded. Now, we just point the PetGentle and she shushes.

I definitely recommend this product.

It works like real magic!

By Deborah W., Florida, Verified Reviewer

What a game-changer.

We found a little Chihuahua about a year ago. What a surprise we got when we took her for a walk. Such a loud barker from such a little body. So loud and obnoxious, and she has also taught our Japanese Chin how to bark. And that's a breed that is not supposed to bark. Go figure!

We are full-time campers and we are expected to keep our dogs under control and quiet. But she made it very hard to do. We also considered rehoming her. But we love her so much.

So we tried all kinds of things, but it wasn't until I ran across the PetGentle. It was her last hope. I ordered it on Saturday and on Tuesday it was delivered. By Wednesday we finally were able to take a quiet stroll around the park. We are still working on her with other dogs but I think this device is giving us a real good chance of calmness. It's working on both the dogs.

Thanks PetGentle, for giving us our hope back in our family.

Don't waste your time ordering this product.

By Jill L., Devon, England, Verified Reviewer

I ordered this product nearly 3 weeks ago and according to the UPS tracking service, it is still in the USA. There was no warning when I ordered that it would take this long. If I had known I would have looked elsewhere.

Return

By Robert D., Franklin, TN, Verified Reviewer

We ordered two of these products, they came, one worked fine, one didn't work at all...we had to leave on scheduled trip, gone four weeks (+/-), when we returned I called customer service, explained above...the lady who handled our call was extremely pleasant and professional, quickly offered to send a replacement (we had mailed in defective, but they apparently didn't receive it!) even though their records didn't reflect that we returned the defective product. We have since received a replacement and it is working...can't say enough positive regarding how they handled our problem! Good job!

Amazing product that works!

By Allana N., Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I was sold on this product when a neighbor's dog suddenly stopped barking when I came outside with my dogs. She told me she bought this product. I ordered my own that day and within 5 days, the change in our dogs' behavior has been incredible. And I have only needed to use the sound button once or twice a day. The rest of the time, I just pick it up, and the barking stops.

I reward the no barking straight away and wow...miraculous. Even neighbours are noticing the change in our dogs.

They are even calmer and better behaved.

Highly recommend this product. Use as recommended (eg with rewarding the behavior you want as soon as it happens).

Thank you PetGentle!

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