Joey was barking Saturday, and didn't obey my verbal command, so from about 8 feet away, I pointed the Dog Repeller at him said "Quiet" and held for no more than one second, it was pretty much press down and immediately release, a light goes on to show you it is working. Joey stopped barking, and just looked at me, he didn't wince or act like he was in any type of pain, but he just looked at me like "What the heck?" I expected to use it again to give more details, but he hasn't been barking much since Saturday, and stops when I tell him "quiet", so I can't really test this thoroughly, he's never gone a whole day without barking. Lol, I need to call the cable guy. Anyway, I did want to remind others not to use it from too close a range. Do not let kids play with this either.

I'm so glad you had good results already. It almost seems too good to be true when it works this well, but my experience was the same. I don't over use it, but find it amazing when I do need it.
