The tone is basically just an interruption in the dogs thought process. (the same tone is used for everything) The idea is to distract them away from what they are doing and then PRAISE,PRAISE,PRAISE when you get the desired behavior.
I just had to say this is extremely close to barkbusters. Their "tone" is a chain that rattles like coins in a can would. It's encased in fabric so they don't know what it is, but it supposed to get their attention and distract them also. Sounds so much like barkbusters. Good luck. Zoie did good bith BB, but after a few weeks we weren't reinforcing it all the time and she thought she was back in control, so, keep doing the things your trainer tells you to, it's so important. :-)
Let us know how it continues to go. It's so good to hear your dog reacted so well and you are so relieved!
