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.

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

No to barking

By Shirley and Gary P., Cottage Grove, WI, Verified Reviewer

It is hard to say if it is the BarxBuddy or the NO because we cannot hear the high pitch of the device. We push the button and say NO, and the dog turns and looks at us and stops barking for a time. So I guess either way, if it is the device or the NO, it's a method of training and we'll see if the response continues. We haven't been using too long yet because we had it shipped to our seasonal home. So in general, I would say training is the key and the device is not harmful, so ok to try.

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

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!

Waste of money

By Linda M., Florida, Verified Reviewer

Don't waste your money. This does not work, at least not for me. Have attempted to use for over two months and unless I am a foot away from my dog I use it at he just continues to bark. Have used commands when this close and it still doesn't work. Too bad I can't get a refund on a defective product.

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

Barking Terrier, it works!

By Angela R., Prosper, TX, Verified Reviewer

Just received my BarxBuddy in the mail. I put it right to work immediately with my out of control barking terrier in our backyard. She barks at everything (birds flying over, people walking by, man with an orange shirt, bicycles, golf carts, on and on...). She immediately stopped barking and I have been working with her every day. This device has worked for me and I would highly recommend. Thank you!

It got a reaction

By Roger F., Katy, TX, Verified Reviewer

I have a small poodle that started barking at people and dogs when he hit middle age. Bought a BarxBuddy and, when he started barking, I stood in front of him and pushed the BarxBuddy button.

HolyFrigginJeepersAlmighty! My dog went totally berserk. Barked so loud the neighbor came over to see what was the matter. I'm totally convinced that the BarxBuddy works great for some dogs, just not mine.

My vet knows how stubborn my dog is and recommended a cattle prod set on low amps. I gave it a shot (pardon the pun). Just one zap and Bentley hasn't uttered a peep in the last 4 or 5 days. Peace at last!

Instant response

By Lee B., Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Just received this today. My dog started the relentless barking and immediately stopped when I pressed the button...told her "no bark" and when she didn't start again praised her. I am hoping this is an indication of her controlling her barking.

Training

By Naomi M., Kiama, New South Wales, Australia, Verified Reviewer

I found that the BarxBuddy has helped me train my German Shepherd and in a very professional way. It really works and we can now enjoy each other's company without the annoying barking.

So far so good

By Anne M., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Very good results so far. Although you never really know what you're buying through the internet, I thought I'd give this product a try. My Pomeranian, a sweet but horribly yappy dog, responded instantly. My Shih-tzu also responded but not quite so dramatically; she's a bit deaf in one ear so perhaps that made the difference.

If the device continues to work this well, I will be thrilled. I have had that Pom for 10 years and her barking has been stressful to the point where it interferes with the enjoyment that should come with taking the pups for a walk.

Thank you!

Great product

By Suzette M., Cave City, KY, Verified Reviewer

I used it as soon as I got it. My dog started barking at the flying birds, she barks at everything, squirrels, bees, etc. I would recommend this product to anybody whos dog barks incessantly. I even used it when she started to jump on me and she quit.

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.

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