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.

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.

[RoxyLuv]

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.
