Then a lady came to talk to me while i had the dogs out. Coarse they are going crazy barking . Looked up and he was after her pant leg. I realed them in but still barking. Saying no nothing works. Beginning to probably be known as the lady with yapping dogs. They cant go out with out barking. Soooo praying this works with them. Its embarrasing once my son and daughter in law come in they settle down unless they dare move. They also hear noises and bark. We live downstairs so plenty of thumps and bumps to go aroung. Were seniors so we cant move fast enough to grab them. Now i tell them call brfore you come and ill put them up. Now my neck is healing i can go get training. But if i can stop the barking it might go better. Sorry so long.
I really think this will work for you. Believe me, I know what you are going through!!

Beanie has started getting "mouthy" again and I had to use it on her. I think she is going to need a little reminder every once in awhile.

Please let me know how it goes once you get it!!!

Wow, just saw this thread for the first time & have already ordered it from Walmart.com. (Pick it up at your local store & there's no shipping added.) I'll report back.

Thanks for the info!!

I think it works!
 
I just got mine and didn't even have the batteries in it yet. Hubby was getting something out of the shed and the dog next door came roaring up to the fence barking and growling, like he always does. I ran and put batteries in the gadget and aimed it through the slats in the fence. He IMMEDIATELY turned and walked away and didn't come back. That has never happened before. I am stunned. We have had this headache of a dog acting like this for the last couple of years. It is the reason we had to put up our privacy fence in the first place, because the dog acts so vicious and I am scared to death for my babies. Even though we have asked nicely, the neighbors have not done a thing to stop the racket. OP THANK YOU for posting this!!! I am a believer!

AWESOME!! I am so glad it worked for you. I hate people who think it is o.k. to have their stupid dogs act like the one you are talking about. I carry my doggie stun gun with me when I walk Beanie, even though I might not need it for her, I feel like it is some protection for us.

I can't believe that something so small and inexpensive might actually make our lives so much better. It was a headache just being in our back yard because of that dog. Sometimes there are two of them doing it. Then my two go nuts barking at those dogs. I'm glad that my two were in the house when I used it so it didn't affect them. But if the other dogs bark and get mine barking again, I will be using it on them too. I took it on our walk today too. I love this thing.

Just order the bark genie from amazon! I really hope this works! Maggie was very quiet and then one day...she found her voice! LOL! Everything is now bark-worthy :) I think its funny and cute...my husband is not as amused! :aimeeyork

I KNOW!! I felt the same way when I got it and used it. I was telling everyone about it and they would look at me with this look, like ya so what, big deal. I was like, no you don't understand what my life started to be like with my dog going NUTS when she saw a dog and that spilled over into everything she saw when we were in the car. At least I knew that the other dogs couldn't get into the car when she was going crazy, but when we would go for walks and do it, I would get really scared sometimes because she didn't give a crap if it was a freakin 2 inch big puppy or a giant pit bull or other huge dog. Her behavior just about took over my life and believe me, I tried EVERYTHING to stop her. Nothing worked until the Doggie Stun Gun, aka Bark Genie. ahahahahahahahaha

Yes, that is exactly what happened to Beanie! But it just got worse and worse and worse. As I said to another poster, her behavior just took over my life. I carry it with me all the time now.

Daisy is the same way on walks. She goes ballistic when she sees another dog. She does not care if it is a pit or a chi. If I have to use it on a walk I think I will put my hand in my purse and press it in secret so the other dog owner doesn't think I did something harmful to their dog. When I used it in the back yard I started to hold it over the top of the privacy fence but hubby said Noooooo, the neighbors will see it and call the cops, swearing you shot their dogs with something. You know how people can be.

I don't actually know if it will work in your purse. I haven't tried that. I know what you mean about how people are! I do know that it is supposed to work within 15 feet, so when I use it on Beanie, we are more than 15 feet from the other dog across the street.

She started her crap today when we were at the park. I forgot to take the Doggie Stun Gun out of the car and I had no way to stop her. And this was a big pitbull puppy that she decided to go nuts on. Good thing the kid was able to hold his dog back. I was so p!ssed at Beanie but more at myself for forgetting to take it with me.

Anyway, let me know if it works while in the purse.

Doodlebug 11-30-2014 05:06 PM
Ok, but you are right, it might not work in a purse. Daisy doesn't lose it when a dog is across the street. Only when we are walking right by it. She can get even a normally calm dog stirred up. People don't know what they are getting into when they walk their "normal" dog past us. Lol. But some people recognize her and take a wide path around us. Lol

Oh my God, I know what you mean. People were actually asking me if there was something wrong with my dog!! I would say, no she is just crazy. It must be a Yorkie thing, or maybe just a "little" dog thing that they INSIST on being heard and acting like they are SO ferocious!!

Well I just ordered this, haven't got it yet, so hoping it works.

dollydoodle 12-08-2014 01:05 PM
OK, got mine a couple days ago & have mixed results: Dolly gets sooo excited when other dogs are playing together or playing with toys. She can't control her barking & my poor Teena doesn't get toy playtime because of this. So we got down on the floor with the toy box & started playing with Teena, & Dolly started barking her head off. She didn't flinch when I pushed the button--but Teena stopped playing & walked away. Tried the same thing about 4 times with the same results.

Once they started barking at some noise & again it worked on Teena (who really isn't a problem) but not Dolly.

There might be a little hope, but maybe it's wishful thinking: today they started barking just a little & I held the Bark Genie & said "No bark" & they BOTH quieted down. But truthfully, they did listen to me sometimes before the bark genie.

BTW, Dolly's hearing is fine. Maybe the Bark Genie will be returned................

Well im bummed of coarse i have to have stubborn dogs. The first day my yorky acknowledged he heard it twice. But after that forget it. Princess didnt even act like she heard it. So disappointed really needed it to work. Just do not know what to do with them now.

I hear you. I had absolutely no acknowledgement from my problem dog.

I picked one up at Walmart. Bubba, who just follows Sissy lead, acknowledged it and quieted down. Sissy, my wild child, never even blinked and just kept on barking and trying to get to the other dog that was approaching. The person with the other dog had called out, "he's friendly" but after I had pressed the button on the device, he started to growl. So I guess he heard it.

I also tried it on my Mom's Golden and she picked her ears up, so she heard it. Oh well! It was worth a try.

sportschick 01-03-2015 03:39 PM
Sorry that this device didn't work for some people, but very happy that it worked for others. I am still "pushing" it to people that I meet during my walks that have dogs going crazy.

That being said, I have had to reinforce Beanie with it a few times. BUT every time I use it, it works and she calms right down. I am so glad, and say thank you, thank you thank you Bark Genie, every time it works!!:)

I didnt have luck but i knew it might not going into it. Each dog is different.

I got one of these (Another brand) when Roxy was young after she found her voice. Her barking times were the late night outings. It was like she was announcing to the world she was there, and she was big & bad!!! I didn't want her turning into a yapper, so I hesitantly got one not knowing if i would damage her ears. Well it worked. When she would start, I just pushed the button quickly 2 times. She stopped immediately. The occasions to use it decreased. Then one night, something outside was bugging her. She stood at the patio door & started that intense barking. I picked the gadget up & pushed the button 1 quick times. She happened to see me do it this time. She looked at me with that 'Oh that's just you' look in her eye..... and it never worked on her again. The little smarty pants figured it out. LOL

it just sat in a drawer for a few years. This past year I decided to try it again for those late night sessions when she gets the need to sound off like that. She has forgotten what she learned as a child. It worked again, but I'm careful not to let her see me use it.

Keep this in mind... your little furbutt may be a smarty pants too. :)
