I thought I would try it. If it didn't work I just return it. So I charged it up. And I waited for a moment that my chihuahua would do something that I don't like him doing, and it worked immediately. Also there was a barking dog over 50 ft away and I used it, and the dog stop barking. I'm not bothered by the dog barking, but if I was I know this would work, with no issue at all. The company's real good about working with people, if they happen to have a dog it doesn't work on, they indicated that it may not work on certain dogs. Not a certain type of dog just certain dogs it may not work on. So I read through the reviews and I was happy with the reviews I read, and I purchased one, and glad I did. So this is sent with good instructions. If you have any issues you can contact the company and they'll help you. I don't need to I am very satisfied with this product. I had my doubts, but after I saw how many people bought one, and how well it worked. So if you get out with your dog and you have wild animals around, that could be a good deterrent. If you're a jogger or you take walks, and there are dogs that you may come across, this could be a possible deterrent. Most likely it's going to deter the dog or wild animal. If it doesn't I highly recommend people carry pepper spray gel with UV dye. Make sure it is a pepper spray gel, and not just the pepper spray. Because if the wind is blowing in your face and there's a perpetrator and you spray the spray it's going to come back in your face, if you spray the gel it will not come back in your face. Also having the UV dye in it police officers are able to use a UV light to identify the dye. The dye does not wear off for at least 72 hours and it will not wash off and most likely the perpetrator is not going to know that they have UV dye all over them.

I have 2 Miniature Schnauzers. IFYKYK. The youngest of the 2 is absolutely insane when anyone comes to the door, hears a noise, a squirrel farting from the trees, anything. It's driving us mad. I have bark collars but I really feel they're cruel. Then I saw an ad for this gem. Took a punt and ordered. Showed up pretty fast, it's a small size which is great. You can scan a QR code to see a video of how to use or read the provided instructions. It came slightly charged and I've not re charged it in the few days I've had it. Let me just tell you it's AMAZING how fast the middle mode works. I've used level 1 (a beep that gets attention) and level 2 ( silent to us but not to them) We haven't hit Defcon 3 so I'll update if we have to use that level. It stops the insanity immediately. It's so crazy. They hear a sound and it just makes magic happen. I'm so glad I ordered this and would recommend it to anyone who has a dog who has a personal motto of "Bark loud, bark often"

Very good product that is not only easily portable thanks to its size but it also works great when training your dog’s behavior when it comes to controlling their barking when walking them and getting them to learn when it becomes excessive. I also use it to teach my dog the basics such as sit, stay, etc and of course other behavior issues. I’ve only had to use the beeping function most of the time and rarely using the tone feature. Battery life is also very good and rarely has to be recharged because the charge usually lasts for up to 28 days. I’ve also on occasion have had to use mine when it comes to a neighbor’s dog (small dog that is a constant barker at everything) that lives next door to me that constantly barks at me and my dog anytime I have my dog in my backyard with me as well as when I’m outside on my own trying to do anything in my backyard and in my front yard. On those occasions I’ve actually found that using the tone function while pointing it at that dog on the other side of the fence between our yards and yelling no or stop, as well as telling it to behave it definitely deters it and finally stops its behavior and heads back into its house or back onto its back porch. That’s also another reason why I purchased this item besides for training my own dog, because it was getting to the point where I couldn’t even enjoy myself going outside onto my own property, let alone if I had visitors by me making it difficult for us to enjoy ourselves. I highly recommend this item to anyone who is looking for another, more gentler way than using a shock collar when it comes to training their dog.
