Excellent device

By Christina T., Sioux Lookout, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I received the product within two weeks. The battery comes with it. Very easy to use model, size of a small TV remote. It has a "regular mode" and a "stronger mode" function for the more barkier stubborn dogs. The stronger setting has a laser beam and bright light to catch the attention of the dog, the normal setting is just a silent it has no lights but a dog definitely reacts to it.

My Yorkie/Chihuahua runs out the door full speed ahead, barking like a nutbar letting the whole neighborhood know we’re out there. She’s so involved in her barking that breaking her attention is impossible. Enter BarxBuddy! It's been easier to train her now using this product as an added feature during her most stubborn moments. I’m very much against animal cruelty and use this device only when extra reinforcement is required.

I’d recommend this for anybody! I’ve been through 3 expensive bark collars that malfunction or die after so many months.

BarxBuddy has no sound for the humans, but definitely the dog.

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

Arrived quickly

By Ellen M., Sugar Land, TX, Verified Reviewer

I got the BarxBuddy but left for a trip and just got home so haven’t had a chance to really use it. The BarxBuddy arrived in a timely manner. Tried it a few times today and it seemed to stop the barking, but as the instructions say, consistency and rewards when your dog stops barking will help. So if you are looking for a miracle without any effort, don’t purchase.

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

Jumps and runs

By Heather H., Lakewood, WA, Verified Reviewer

She doesn’t know how to react to it yet. She jumps and runs when she sees it in my hand even before I have used it.

However, I ended up accidentally ordering two of the devices so I need to return one. How do I go about doing that?

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

Does not work

By Delalee B., Nassau, NY, Verified Reviewer

Shipping was fast. I tried it with all 3 of my dogs, it doesn't seem to even get a response at all from any of them. Not sure why I thought it would, but it was worth a try, but I wasted my money again.

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

You can teach an old dog new tricks!

By Lynn Suzanne V., Hawaii, Verified Reviewer

It immediately captured the attention of my two senior dogs. One is 16, and the other is 11. They are already barking less. They stop barking immediately when they hear the signal! Thank you BarxBuddy!

Was leery at first. But I put it all together and it works great.

By Joanne D., Palm Coast, FL, Verified Reviewer

Works great, made my dog really take notice. Was not too sure when I received it, I thought it would be already working. Then I reread the directions and put the battery in the correct way. Tried it out when my dog barked and she really moved quickly when I pointed it at her.

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

Verified buyer BarxBuddy

By Ginger B., Nashville, TN, Verified Reviewer

Works GREAT! Would really have given it a 4 and 1/2 star because the instructions need to clearly specify that you remove the battery and carefully look at it and remove the shrink wrap plastic around the battery itself, which is very difficult to even detect because it's so form-fitting, in addition, you have to remove the black plastic sleeve around the connection points to get the battery to work. Again, this should be very clearly written on the instruction sheet or on the box. Otherwise, the device works excellent. That is probably why some of the reviews say that the device does not work at all. Because they did not discover how to correctly unwrap the battery and the connection points and put it together so that it worked. My friend has 12 little small dogs in the house and they run in a pack. Once one barks, they all start barking and carrying on. This device worked right away and over the next couple days, they have gotten much quieter and do not jump to start barking and carrying on like they used to and drive you nuts. BarxBuddy REALLY DOES WORK.

Two Bichons with barking issues

By Jeanette C., Arizona, Verified Reviewer

Excellent tool!

By Raymond J., Corpus Christi, TX, Verified Reviewer

Delivery was fast. It really works. My German Shepherd was bad at barking at people who visit, to the point that we couldn't have a decent conversation. Just sorry that she learned after only to tries. But it does what it says.

When my dogs start to get a little rough this snaps them out of it. I've had good luck with similar products and thought I would try this one, works great.
