 Worked for me July 30, 2010
Zorbear (Carrollton, TX United States)
My service dog had developed a habit of becoming distracted when working, and, although I work with a good dog trainer, we'd failed to bring the problem under control. My trainer suggested an electronic dog collar (similar to a bark collar), but I decided to try this first. Since I hadn't used an electronic device like this before, I purchased this item and a dog whistle at the same time, so that I could compare their effectiveness. The dog whistle is something I've used before, and always found it good to get a dog's attention if the dog is close, and not too interested in something else. But the dog can quickly become used to it, and often learns to ignore the whistle.
The first time I used this device, it worked like magic. My dog, which had been staring at another dog across the street, whirled around and looked in my direction. He moved so fact, it was like he'd been stung by a bee. It has worked so well that I only had to use it a few times to "fix" his distraction problem.
This product worked well for me. However, I don't think it would work very well for "fixing" a neighbor's barking dog because it's effectiveness fell off quickly over distance. Close up, however, it works very well. (If you can get within 10-15 feet of the dog, it should do the trick.) My dog reacted so strongly to the device that I felt sorry for him, causing me to use it sparingly, which is probably the best way to use any training device.

I bought this thinking it would get the dog's attention but that lasted about 5 minutes (and even then it was a small reaction). I could put the unit within 3 feet of our dog and it would not even cause her to turn her head much less create some diversion to attract her attention. It does seem to work with my daughter's dog (a pug) but not our dog (a Shiba Inu). I do know for a fact that she has great hearing since she always seems to know when a car pulls up into our driveway. So I guess, it may depend on the type of dog that you have as to whether this device will work. By the way, I gave it to my daughter and it seems to work for her.
OMG! This is unbelievable! July 28, 2010

I bought this Dog Repeller for the training aid part. When I got it home from the post office and put a battery in it, I still lacked faith because of the last two purchases I'd made of similar products that didn't work at all. I was in my bedroom and my cat was at her food bowl. I thought, what the heck, it won't work anyway and aimed it at her and just touched the button for a nanosecond. HOLY COW! My poor cat's hair all stood up, and she zipped under the bed!!! I didn't hear a thing! The reason I bought this device was mostly for my Yorkillion pup. He's loud and shrill and will start barking a steady stream without taking time to inhale air and just keeps it up non-stop until he gets what he wants. If he wants out of his crate, he doesn't care if it's 4:00 in the morning. If we're eating, he wants OUR food, not his dog food that's sitting right in front of him. We haven't had a peaceful meal in about nine months.
Well, I know it's not supposed to work through walls, and you're supposed to point the device directly at the dog. My short burst was through a wall and about ten feet away pointed in another direction and, for some odd reason, Pookey barely made a peep throughout dinner!!! I am SO IMPRESSED!!! My daughter and I tried to figure out what else it could have been besides the repeller, but there's just no other explanation! My sanity may be saved! I'll see how it works on training to come, sit, stay, lie down, roll over, etc.

I bought this primarily as a training aid. Our small breed dog has a bad habit of barking. He barks at the mailman, the neighbor kids, people biking past our house, the doorbell, he barks at everything. Well, with a newborn in the house, I was getting desperate during naptimes. I bought this last week, and it's been great. Just a short press of the button and our dog is quiet and back in the house. Will definitly recommend to friends.
Piece of Junk July 20, 2010

This item worked great for about 2 weeks. Then it DIED !! My Mom bought one because she was so impressed with mine. Hers quit working after a week. Save your money and find something that is going to last!! It would be a great item if it was made to last longer than a few weeks.
