How noisy is the product? I have one malamute that is sensitive to noise, the other couldn't care less, lol

E have two standard poodles.one does not mind the sound and the other is afraid. It does have two speeds and we stay on low to dry her. It does work great

It does make noise, especially the motor. You can keep the motor away a little, but the hose still makes pretty good noise. I don't know of a single product that wouldn't that has any power. To dry a large malamute, you need the power. Sorry. My puppy's don't like it, but I've been getting them used to it. They scramble at first, but settle down pretty quickly when they learn it really doesn't hurt them.

Having been surrounded by loud dryers at show I have found this one to be fairly quiet. I have read many reviews about it being loud but compared to many, many others I have been around it is NOT loud. My Golden actually likes this better than my personal hairdryer. Hope that helps. I really have been impressed with the quality of this little dryer.

Its noisy. My Scottish Terrier puts up with it while I dry his furnishings but I use a hand dryer for his beard. Try placing cotton balls in the dog's ears.

The dogs WILL hear it and, as in my neighborhood, they will probably bark more. You can buy things that will bother their they're ears (not permanently just while they are barking). Look up NO BARK PRODUCTS. GOOD LUCK

Yes, it is noisy when you open it, but our little one got used to the noise very quickly. After a day or two it didn't bother her at all.

It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud). We have the treadmill in a bedroom which is near two other bedrooms and shut the door and it doesn't bother anyone. I will say we are a family that sleeps with fans running so maybe that is an added buffer to the treadmill sound. I do not think it is noisy. The only issue is a bad design where the cover is located at your feet - you step on it occassionally. We fixed this problem by adding a 1-1/4" wood dowelling that fits into the handles perfectly and hold onto the dowel instead of the built-in handle bars. I can send you a pic if interested if you give an email address. It is quieter than my last treadmill (when I don't have my iPod plugged in to use the built in speakers and play my music loud).

There is a significant amount of noise during operation, yes--particularly on the higher settings. This is in fact he reason I purchased this model over silent ones. Not only do I have several pets in my house, but I also need white noise in the background while I am sleeping, and this fit the bill for me. If you are looking for quiet operation, you'll probably want to consider another product.

Not sure, was not as happy with this as the ridex rodent one. I do know that some other animals are sensitive to the sound and hurts their ears.

They aren't totally quiet but the do make a buzzing sound. My dogs aren't freaked at all. I shaved my Aussie mix yesterday. He was very calm even though he is only shaved when the weather starts to warm up AND it was the first time I used the device on him.

It is very loud on linoleum or hardwood floors. Perhaps he is afraid of the noise. My Jack Russell doesn't care...he bangs it all over the kitchen. I started by putting small pieces of treats he really likes in it. I shook a couple pieces out on the floor and then pushed the Kibble Nibble around with my foot so he could see the food coming out. It did not take him long to figure it out. Then when I switched to his kibble (Beneful for small dogs), I made sure he was good and hungry before putting it down and nudging it with my toe. He did the rest. Also, you can trim the little plastic feelers in the ends of the Kibble Nibble if the food is larger and too hard to get out. My dog bolts his food so I wanted it to be a challenge. I trimmed one end shorter so it comes out a bit easier but still requires him to "work" for his food. If the noise it makes hitting the floor is the issue, get a piece of carpet to put it on. Hope this helps!

My husky will not go near it - it's the pump noise. I had the same issue with her on another filtered water bowl. However the two shepherds love it and it is still working great after all these months.

Depends on the dog. One of my dogs is terrified by it while the others bark less but not completely

Hello Jileda Thomas. I've bought a few over the years and I always go to this brand. It's not loud at all. The only thing I can think of is, it having a steady hum. I think it's soothing for them after a while (depending on how big or small your puppy is) my puppy actually falls asleep while trimming his fur.

I love my sprite for the way I can maneuver it around my house. As for the noise, I am not the best one to ask as I am sort of deaf. It bothers my dog when I vacuum, but she's spoiled and resents my doing something that doesn't involve her. She is the reason I got the vac in the first place. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

It's noisy but TOTALLY worth it. Just give it to the dog during the day (not early morning or at night). I've lived in apartments and noise from upstairs neighbors is part of the deal. I highly doubt you'll be refilling the toy throughout the day, so once or twice a day for 20 mins (it takes our dog ~15 mins to finish 1 cup kibble) is reasonable. Toy noise is better than barking in my opinion;)

the thinner one is a little louder but if the dog is calmed, normally shouldn't be a problem. As a groomer in some cases, dogs are ok with it and for some other ones I just rather use the bigger one which doesn't scare them. Overall I find them both useful.

Totally agree. Now want to know- i have a small dog does not like loud noises. Anyone can give me advice on noise for small dogs with this dremel.

This is a hard plastic and only noisy on hard floors, but to me, well worth it!!! I have a Morkie puppy. It is like a big "Weeble Wobble(?)". You put the treats on top (unscrew), adjust the opening, then adjust the door opening on the bottom as shown. Our pup gets into everything and this keeps her busy. Noise on the wood floor is OK with me if it keeps her out of trouble!
