My dog whines and barks while travelling in the car would the spray help to stop this ?

Its all about reinforcement. Say "no!' spray then see what happens and keep it up. But I hope that he/she does not associate the spray with bad car trips. I just have to show her the can sometimes and she will stop messing with the cat. But then the cat is the instigator so I let it ride, so I know I don't always reinforce. remember all it is is air with a noise.

I use Adaptil a pheromone calming spray for long car rides. You spray it where your dog will be sitting about fifteen minutes before your dog gets in the car, so the alcohol can dissipate first. I also put it on my sleeves and hands to calm my dog when he's panicked about me putting his eye drops or ear drops for a recent infection. Also good for thunder storms or unfamiliar situations. So it's great for anxiety attacks. It comes in plug-in diffusers, sprays, and collars.

I think that may be something you should ask your vet first. His riding in the car may cause him a lot of anxiety so that's why he does it. This may make it worse. Ask a trainer or a vet first.

I would assume that your dog is whining and barking because of anxiety and if that's the case I don't think I would recommend using it for that.

I don't think I'd recommend it in this situation: if your dog is nervous or fearful or agitated during a car ride, you need to look for another solution, something will calm him down. Perhaps something like a 'storm coat' (which tightly encompasses the dog and makes it less fearful in storm conditions) would be worth a try. Good luck!

Mine stopped my dog from barking in a few days and haven't needed to use it anymore. I have loaned it to several friends with similar results

We found it effective to spray it close to the face but not in the face. The noise is as effective as the spray. It took only a few incidents before the behavior stopped completely.

Sadly this will not help with the whining. Also if the dog is smart (as mine turned out to be), they learn that they can "get away with" a single bark so they stick to that. It did really help with the long running bark sessions which I'm delighted to say are a thing of the past.I feel like it was a good value for my dog and I. We get along much better when she wears it.There are dog collars with remotes which allow you to control the sending of the correction. That might help.Good luck!Alena

This worked on my little doxie for a while but he is very stubborn. So, eventualy I stopped using it because he would bark through it and run it out. I dont know that it is necessarily too much for your dog, but she is probably just very confused about why this puff of smelly stuff keeps spraying her. That is how my doxie acted at first.

I used it on my aussie. She was out of control, barking at insects flying through the air. It didn't take long for her to stop barking, it's been six years and she still doesn't bark :)

I have found that this product does work as long as an animal hasn't yet attacked. If you can spray before it has attacked it will detour long enough that maybe you or your pet can get away.

Maybe! My puppy eventually started to like the taste of the spray lol Good luck! :)

Sorry, not sure what your question is. But if you want to use that to get your neighbors dog to stop barking, I really do not think it will work. It barely worked while less than a foot away from my dog's ears. At some point, they became immune to it and we went with a different option. But the option we went with requires a collar, and spray into the dogs face area of citronella smell. Works wonders!! I hope I answered your question, if not please let me know and I will respond.

I am not sure, as I have never put the anxiety wrap on my dog in the car. She doesn't shake, she just gets car sick. You might justwant to try it, and see if it helps!!!!

I'm sorry Deb I have never tested that I was trying to get our dog to stop barking when he was in the house and looking out the window. That worked GREAT

No. This spray is simply a topical temporary relief for your pet. After having bought 2 large bottles of this spray, I feel it has been a waste of money.

Probably not. Whines and soft growls don't trigger the collar. Only barking

Good question, it honestly depends on a few different things 1) Bark Collar Strength setting 2) The amount of vibration created with the whines and whimpers and 3) your specific dog. I would recommend following the program which they suggest to you. Start with it only on "beep" mode so the dog can become familiarized with the noise, then after 1 week switch it to the low corrective mode. This should take care of almost all the issues with kennel noise.

No, it will only work with a bark. I would recommend a remote control collar. We purchased one for around $50 that allows us to use a remote to activate a loud tone, a rattle, or a small shock. I think that would work better for whining. Good luck!!

I am not sure only worked for a short time but dog did stop barking when it worked

I purchased 3 of these for 3 different breeds of dogs. I unfortunately did not any luck with ANY of them. They hestitated the first time and then just barked through it. I am not sure if it will work on whining but I sincerely doubt it.
