Got the device and I am using it every time Rusty goes outside. I allow him to bark only when he is on alert bark. We have a common path behind the house and that's when he alerts to people, coyotes, and javelinas near our fence. On his mile walks daily he is getting better, still alerts to people, but does not pull me to go and greet them close up. He still alerts to other dogs that come past our front yard, but after holding the button till he stops, I think he is associating the noise with the required action "STOP."
It will take time, he is 11 years old and a coon hound takes time and patience.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
