"I bought this for my boxer mix who was having problems with seperation and being alone. He would cry and bark for hours, not minutes, after I would leave. I hate putting anything harmful or painful on my dogs so when I went looking for barking machines, I"

Not very good Date: June 24, 2008
"I wanted this product to work but unfortunately it doesn't affect my dogs at all. I own two Bassett Hounds and a Chow. The Chow finally stopped barking just from watching me yelling at the Bassetts to "shut up"."

Do Not Buy!!!! Date: June 18, 2008
"I purchased this about a week ago because I have 3 Poms. The two little one(4 and 7 lbs) love to bark when outside. We had tried bark collars in the past, but those did not work and I felt bad that I may be hurting them. So I bought this, and it does not work. It has never stopped them from barking on its own. I always had to push the button on top. But that only worked for the first day. Now it does not work at all, no matter how long I hold down the button. I will be taking this back today, and hopefully will be able to find something that does what it says it will do."

Bad Purchase Date: April 19, 2008
"I bought this to keep my two dogs from barking when someone knocks on the door, it did not affect them what-so-ever. I do not suggest that anyone buy this, it is a waste of money, and it constantly went through batteries."

PetSafe Ultrasonic Bark Control Pet Training Syste Date: March 17, 2008
"It works for about 5 minutes. This was a complete waste of money. You have to take it and hold it near the dog and manually push the button, because it does not work on it's own. After a short time, even doing it manually, you have to push the button about 4 or 5 times before the dog pays any attention to it."

Just say no !! Date: February 10, 2008
"Worked for the very first day. I was impressed. Now my German Shepherd isn't even effected by it now. Was told I can return it, if it didnt work. On my way back to Petco now to exchange, or even " Upgrade " to something that does work.

Poor Product Date: February 8, 2008
"I bought this product yesterday. I have a Beagle who barks every morning at 5am. I put the PetSafe right next to the crate (about 2 feet away). The Beagle started barking this morning...and kept on barking. I think this product may work for a limited number of dog breeds with a certain bark tone. The product does work when you press the button to manually activate it. The dog stops what he's doing and starts looking around. Too bad it doesn't work the way it's supposed to."

"Worked at first but after a few days my dog kept barking. I could have returned this but my dog stopped reacting to this right after the return time period. I wouldn't waste your money on this item."

"Had high hopes that this device would stop my 5 lb. Maltese from barking in the house. He continued to bark with no significant improvement.
I just returned it to Petco and got my 50.00 back."

Didn't work for my small dog Date: November 29, 2007
"I purchased this to help control the barking on my 9 lb mini dachshund. It only worked when I hit the button on top. It did not pick up the sound of her barking on its own. If it can pick up your dogs bark it may work very well, but unfortunately it didn't for us."

Thank you!! Date: September 1, 2007
"I have an 11 month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Corgi's are known for being the "little dog with the big dog bark"... and isn't that the truth! She barks at anything and everything. Hours after buying this device, the house was quiet... she hates it! Even the site of it now makes her run away. It's a miracle!! I even brought it outside and got my neighbor's dog to stop barking at me when I'm in my own yard. (We live in a Townhouse). This is the best invention since the wheel!"

Petsafe Bark Control Date: August 23, 2007
"Well, we just purchased the item, for Mickie and Ava our Maltese, but so far is doing it's job. I didn't know at first the button on top was to push for "extra" sound when the dog barked too much so I was pushing it, wondered why Mickie ran upstairs! Ava doesn't seem to mind as much, but it does allow them to bark a time or two, then it must go "off" because they shut up!
Mickie has already learned the machine is "bad news" if he sees me pick it up he heads for th hills!
Will let you know if it continutes to do it's job!"

Quality is Poor Date: July 17, 2007
"The one we got fell apart after less than a year. I contacted the company with no response from them. The battery connections broke off so the battery can no longer attach to the mechanism. For the six months we had it, it did work. It was just made very poorly!"

This thing is amazing!! Date: July 13, 2007
"I've read the reviews and I tried it anyway. My lab mix is a barking machine and my other dog just follows her lead. We were moving into an apartment that normally doesn't allow dogs but the landlord made an exception if we could keep them quiet and they didn't disturb anyone. I tried the citrus collar and that didn't work at all...my dog actually loved the taste of that stuff. The moment they started to bark and this thing went off, they would put their tails between their legs and run for cover. This and a waterbottle works wonders!!!"

Forget this product! Date: May 24, 2007
"This thing was a pain from the beginning. There was no on/off that we could find, so it had to be taken apart to insert or remove the battery. There was no pattern to it going on or off and no way to tell if it worked. This is so poorly designed and would have been a waste of money but, thankfully, Petco was great about the return. ..no problem and a complete refund."

What a joke Date: April 10, 2007
"So I bought this with the hopes that I could teach my dogs not to bark without having to shock them. After receiving this item I quickly realized that all I did was waste my money. My dogs completely disreguarded it. I even took it home to let my mom try it and it made her dog bark even more than she already did. Save yourself the money!!"

Simply doesn't work Date: February 8, 2007
"Seemed like a good idea but our Lhasa Apso will stand right next to it barking away. It can be 3 inches from his ear and he pays no attention."
