Anyone know if it's any good? Thanks!

 

[Herschel]

No, it's not good.

No, it's not good.

Can you... elaborate a little for me? Thanks.

What Herschel means is that there are other ways to teach your dog to not bark besides putting something that delivers punishment to him/her for doign something that comes quite naturally.

May I ask why you are considering buying that product?

I'm thinking of becoming a reseller for it, but I don't want to sell it if it doesn't work. It's an ultrasonic collar, not a shock collar, by the way.

My neighbour got an ultrasonic collar for their dog, not sure what make. Didn't deter the dog in the least.

So what exactly does it do that stops the dog from barking?

I would not use it and I don't know if it works, I don't like things that suppress normal behaviors. Dogs bark, of course it's annoying so instead of suppressing it you need to teach them how much is OK and when they can do it (when you say speak, and they can bark two or three times when someone comes to the door) and make them want to follow the command (food). I would not sell that product if I were you because of how I feel about such products.
