I think the sound should work as just an abrupt interrupter of behavior, rather than a "punishment". If you leave the button down, or get agitated, it could be seen more as a punishment, and possibly add to the dogs aggression. Do you have the same one that the others have?

Yes, I purchased the one from Amazon that you posted a link to. I am not holding the button down for long, I am holding it for probably 3 seconds, saying "no bark." When I pushed the button both of my boys' ears' perked up, they stopped barking, and they jumped back a bit. But then, a few seconds later, Jimi (my oldest) started growling and barking once again. So then I pushed the button again, said "no bark," and then the same thing kept repeating again. But I was hesitant to keep using it repeatedly, because I don't want him to just become accustomed to the noise and ignore it, just like the can of coins. It seems like he is aggressive towards the sound, and he is just acting tough by barking and growling at it.
