| What d'you think of this? Hi guys, Got a question for ya! Has anyone ever heard of or used a sonic dog trainer? It's a mechanism that amits a high pitch noise that dogs dont like when it detects excessive noise (like barking). It's so high pitched humans cant hear it but dogs can. My hubby just bought one and installed it in the garden without telling me (it was my brother in law who noticed and asked about it when over yesterday so hubby had to tell me!). I'm not sure how I feel about it. It doesn't hurt the dog (as far as I know) but just deters them from barking too much. What d'you rerckon? Does it stay? Jess |

I think it's definitely more humane than something like shock collars, so if it works for you, keep it!

| I bought what I thought was a really nice one, but it doesn't work for mine at all. It did for about 5 minutes, but that was it.

| Barking I hope this works to keep your Yorkies from barking as much. I would love it if mine wouldn't bark so much . Where do you get one? What is it called? |

| Well it seems to be working pretty well so far. It's not absolutely guaranteed every time but good enough. I would never use a shock collar or anything that hurts my dogs in the name of training, but this seems a suitable in between. It's unpleaseant for for them but doesn't hurt them, if you know what I mean? My hubby got it on eBay. He said there were lots of brand new ones on there being sold but he bought a second hand one for £10.00 (about $20.00 I think). Jess |
