Well if the Repeller reduces the barking it would be considered a "punisher" in behavioral terms. We have to lose our set ideas about punishers and reinforcers, because they are called that not because how aversive or pleasant they are, but only how the effect the probability of the response.

By the way, my phone works as a repeller too, I'm glad they made the repeller black. I don't even know where the repeller is, but I've got all these things that look like it.

Per reading this thread, I did order it for my daughter's dog who is an avid barker. I am very very impressed and relieved. We also use it occassionally and it has been Wonderful!! It's really Amazing that they stop barking immediately. I worried at first that it would make him nervous and scared, but he really seems more calm after the reinforcement. I say "no barking" and praise afterwards. Of course he is allowed barking @times. So glad I ordered after reading the recommendations! Thanks everyone!!

I just ordered it.... I hope it comes this week while we're still on Spring Break so we can spend a lot of time practicing

Interesting enough I just happened to be at a pet boutique this morning and saw that stuff and ask them about it (my one has a tendency to bark at the wind) and she said it's not for little dogs...poofs too much of the stuff for their little nose/lungs.
I don't know if that's a fact or not, just what I was told this morning.

Okay, maybe I misunderstood...what you're talking about produces a noise, what I saw today was something that shot out some bad smelling spray.
Sorry

I looked at those too (I think they spray out citronella?) and they didn't have any small enough for tiny pups. I'm hoping this works!!!

LMAO that is funny!! I haven't tried pointing the remote at them.. now you have me curious if they will react to it..hehe

My Peppee and Brady bark at every noise! I agree ~ so stinkin annoying!! I am ordering one right now. Thanks for this thread... will have to report on whether it helps!

Got ours this week...used it only 3x and all 3 of our girls now actually listen to me when I say "quiet"! I am shocked. I don't think I will have to use it again. I pointed the device at the loudest of the 3 dogs while they were barking and said "quiet". They perked their ears and stopped their barking immediately. I then praised them and gave them a treat. For the last several days, all we have said to them is "quiet" and the barking stops. We still let them bark to speak their peace, then it is time for our peace! This product is amazing.

You really have to see it to believe it. I was amazed too!

megansmomma · 03-27-2010, 08:20 PM

Got mine today and it worked!

The very first try and I was AMAZED! The next door neighbors have 2 pugs that are the most annoying dogs ever. They are let out into the yard and the bark their heads off while my 3 totally lose their minds running the fence and also barking. It's total insanity when all 5 dogs are out barking and running. Pebbles is the worst of my 3 and will not listen when she is going nutso. So with the Bark Repeller in hand I stepped out the back door and the 2 pugs were barking and going crazy. Pebbles took off behind the garage so I pointed it at the 2 neighbor dogs and pushed the button. THEY stopped looked over at me like "what the he!!" and didn't bark again! Then Pebbles came back toward the door barking like a fool and I pointed it at her said "No bark" and she stopped dead in her tracks

I called her over to me, praised her and gave her a treat. I am totally amazed! Not only did it work on Pebbles but it worked over into the neighbors yard on their 2 as well! So far thing is GREAT! I can't wait to see how they behave during the week for the construction workers and the other barking triggers but I have a feeling that it will continue to do the job

I am always tickled to see so many newcomers to this product enjoying success. Too bad YorkieTalk doesn't get a kickback for sales. I've been using it only occasionally for a couple months now and still love it.

I sent one to my daughter's house, and she used it on 2 big off leash dogs that come up to her fence and bark their heads off and make her dog bark and jump. A couple beeps of the Repeller and all dogs were silent and walked away, and haven't come back.

When I use it I calmly but firmly say "Quiet", then when they hush I say "good quiet" and give them lots of kisses and sometimes a treat. They are so happy to comply, that most of the time now I only have to say quiet and they respond without the repeller. It is a great training aid when used properly. I wish it had a more cool name than "Dog Repeller". I saw a similar device advertised on TV that also comes with a nail trimmer, so there must be others out there too.

Well I am ordering one because I have 2 dogs that get the rest started. Willow my pom and Leo one of my Yorkies. Leo has been to Obedience class but he gets into the barking zone pretty quickly. I have also tried other methods of stopping the barking but they don't always work So for $10.00 it's worth it to give it a try. And if it works I will be telling my friends about it.

Isn't it amazing!? and so simple too! So glad it works for you!

Zeus08 · 03-28-2010, 08:53 AM

I really want to give this a try. I have a dog trainer coming on Thursday to see if she can get Zeus to stop barking at the TV. If this was his only issue I would buy it instead. If the trainer doesn't produce results this will be my next purchase. Glad to hear that so many of you had good results.
