This tool work great, I just hope it doesn't hurt my dogs ears , but other then that I'm very happy with the way it works

I have a 60 lb lap dog that plays too much! She will tackle you at the door and lick you til you're waterlogged. Frankly, that's great for me, but not for when my mom or a stranger visits, hence the need for this trainer. After scouring reviews for a good device I settled on the Modus and so far I am impressed. After two uses and making sure to say NO each time, my dog immediately paused and you could see her wheels turning. Now when I say NO at different times even without the trainer, she already responds more appropriately. I'm sure I will have to use it periodically, but the results so far are very encouraging.

Now fair warning: this is like blasting an air horn to a dog. It will scare them to death but it WON'T hurt them. However DO NOT overuse it. The first time or two, they will probably shiver and tuck tail like you would if someone blasted an air horn at you that you didn't expect. This is when you show ENCOURAGEMENT to calm then down, while fixing the behavior. This is NOT a panic button. It is a trainer - for you AND your pet!

From the get-go, Hans, our Miniature Schnauzer, who lives for barking and barks for everything, responded positively to the Trainer. At first he stopped barking but continued trying to make muffled barking sounds. Every time he did, I zapped him with the trainer and he stopped immediately. I think a couple of more days of utilizing the trainer when barking is inappropriate will do the trick. FINALLY a gadget that works!!

This device has changed our lives. I have a minature dachsund whom is very protective of his home, would bark at people when they arrived, bark at people when the leave and bark at people/dogs/cars as they would go by in front of our home. Our dog is now the "perfect" dog, and we keep saying that "he is the dog we always wanted". Even people coming into our home now "Love" him, instead of thinking what a horrible barking dog he is.
Thank you so much for This great dog trainer!!

I received the unit today and within ten minutes had a chance to use it. My boxer and min-pin go nuts barking every time someone walks in front of our house walking their dog. Sure enough, a guy walked by with his dog, and they started barking. I pressed the button and they both stopped immediately - looking all around like “what the heck was that?!” I said “Hush” as I pressed the button and when they stopped immediately I lavished praise on both. A few minutes later, another person walked by with a dog and they looked up, gave a very low “Grrr” and NO bark! I praised them immensely. I am truly amazed. Hopefully this will continue to work, but I am sure the training needs to be consistent - using a one word comman like ‘hush” and lavishing praise when they stop or don’t bark. I’ll update my review if there is anything to change in my initial reaction.
