Is it possible she might be getting a bit 'too' discomforted by this noise if perhaps she has sensitive ears or something? It still seems odd how they worded it to say "not very painful" instead of saying something like "not painful at all". Just a food for thought. Even I use the device still in hope she will begin to respond someday but maybe I will consider this a bit more. |
I've thought about this too, and what I think is that it is an annoying or startling sound that gets their attention somewhat like to us if someone blows a whistle or sounds a siren or alarm, makes ya stop what you are doing and not want to do that again cause the sound is irritating. I do think you should not over-use it as the dog will get used to it and ignore it. Just my opinion.
