Does it work if your dog whines a lot?

I have actually bought 3 bark collars for my dog! None of them seem to stop whining. I don't mind whining, because my dogs bark is very high pitched and loud, making my ears ring for weeks if he's close to me and barks. I find a spray bottle w/water works wonders. I've never had a whiny dog (he does whine sometimes w/bark collar on.) The directions all say not to put it on the dog during play; that is when my dog barks the most! I then carry a water bottle, and that does the trick. Perhaps you can try that w/whining.

In my experience no, it doesn't work if they bark a lot, whine a lot, or otherwise make noise.

unfortunately no. My dog is/was a big barker - and it works great for that. But she has learned that it won't zap her if she wines - so she does a bit of that at times instead. Sorry, not sure if any bark collar will work on whining...

Hmm that's a good question. It does go "off" if my dog is whining but my dog doesn't seem to stop whining or crying right away. I have only put it the beep mode or the mode that increases if they don't stop so I've never really tested it on one of the shock settings to see if it stops him whining right away. So whining does at least cause the correction to occur.

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.

No....I actually found that after the 1st couple of walks with this product, where it dod work....my dog started ignoring it. I've found a small spray bottle with water, works WAY better. All I have to do now when they are barking, is pick up the spray bottle (or sometimes even just threaten to get it) and they stop. I think if you're using this as a training tool for a puppy...it could be useful, but my two 2 1/2, and 2 yr old fur kids, just tune it out.

I have to agree with the other replies, mine still whines and soft growls, but no barking is totally under control.

Probably not. This product is for fluid leakage. It doesn't modify the lubricity of the fluid to reduce bearing noise, which is the first suspect, but not the only one, for a whine.

I think it probably would. The noise stops my dog in his tracks (from anxiety howling). I've noticed over time though he has gotten 'used' to the noise & goes back to making noise - just less of it. For fighting, I would probably blast them with a water bottle before this - but I think this would have a similar effect without making a mess.

I wouldn't suggest using the interupt or negative feedback with this for casual whining. It may work, but really whining is about being able to set up limits for your pet. How do they whine and when?

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.

Probably. My dogs don't like sounds of any kind. This device only stops them because they can't figure out where it comes from.

no, but it would be nice if it did. you need to make your dog think the tone is your voice or your command

it gives out a loud high pitched squeal to warn them first and then if they keep it up, on the second time they do it it sends out a small shock.. I wouldn't use one on a little dog, but I have a 120lb. German Shepherd so, It worked great.. it completely brokeher of the barking for no reason very quickly.. I would guess it depends on how smart the dog is whether they can figure out its fromthe barking that there getting a jolt from.. I hope that helps.

Possibly. This is an ultrasonic device so it will depend upon if your dog is responsive to the noise.

Same thing with our dogs. I wonder if they just adapt to it and bark anyway. I guess the noise they hear is not strong enough to be a deterrent. It might work with some dogs.

I would say no, at first I could tell that this product did something to my neighbors husky that barks non-stop. After about 5-10 min, back to the same barks. Waste of money.

YES! Now keep in mid we used a cheap, loud one prior to this so its all relative, but our dog is terrified of noise and this doesn't bother her.

It works for growling, but my dog doesn't whine. If the whining is loud enough, I'm sure that the microphone on the collar would pick it up too and spray.

No , unfortunately it didn't stop my dog from barking , it seemed like it did the very first 2 days , but then he was back to barking

It may help some, but I would not say it would eliminate all the sound. It seems like the dog is lonely, and the owner should be responsible for annoying you.
