I’ve been using the PetSafe Elite Little Dog Remote Trainer with the sonic bark deterrent feature for a few months now. It seriously helped my dog chill out when he hears other dogs barking in the neighborhood! I was worried at first, but he seems fine and it’s reduced his stress. Just wanted to share that real-world experience!

In reply to Sweet Pea. Great suggestion! The Pet Corrector is a popular choice for many dog owners looking for an effective way to manage barking. Testing in short bursts is definitely a smart approach to ensure your dog remains comfortable.

If you decide to go for a sonic bark deterrent, maybe check out the Pet Corrector. It’s not just sonic; it emits a hiss sound that can grab their attention without being harmful. Always test it out in short bursts to see how your dog reacts!

I used to think sonic bark deterrents would be a quick fix, but I learned that training and positive reinforcement are super important too. Instead of just relying on these gadgets, I’ve been incorporating treats when my dog stays quiet. It’s made a huge difference!
