Does it work for whining and howling?

Whining yes, howling- don't know my dog is hunkered down and sleeping around 8 pm- not a moon howling dog-

Mine worked for a couple of weeks on barking and any noise the Bichon made near it. He would cock his head and stop. But it doesn't work anymore. He barks again all the time. And it never worked for the Maltese...

My dog is not a howler or a whiner. What it does is startle the dog into not doing what they were doing. But if the dog is really upset, then they will probably go past the startling and continue. It has worked great to make our TV room a bark-free zone.

No I don't think it would do the job right. It seems to work only when my dog shakes his head not when he barks. I know the PetSafe ®Deluxe Big Dog Bark Control for $129.99 will work and also PetSafe ®Bark Control with Vibration for $79.99 will work also. I'm ordering the 79.99 next to give it a try.

It will cut the piercing baby noise by quite a bit. It will cut the high frequency spectrum a lot which I find the most irritating when babies cry.

No, it will not bother the cats. I tried the whistle on our barking neighbor dog and it would quiet him down, but for less than a minute. Then he was back to barking again. This is a training whistle; a very good training whistle, but not a silencer.

It will help with howling but not whining/wimpering. If the dog is more than 30 to 40 feet away from the unit, it might not work. If nothing else, the dog will probably avoid that area but still bark on the other side of the yard.

I do not know, I returned it as it does not know if your dog is barking or screaming in pain from the shock so it keeps on shocking, so the dog keeps on screaming , so I had to take it off the dog STAT!!! DID NOT WORK FOR MY DOG......

The device detects loud barking and responds by sending out a high frequency sound. There is a sensitivity setting on the device that you can adjust.

it seems to work when the dogs bark. we have two and the one closest to the street sometimes is set off by passing louder vehicles. since I can't hear the frequency, I don't know if it activates more than it should.

It worked for my friends dogs, but not ours. I can tell it works, he tilts his head and kind of looks around, but then keeps barking.

I haven't tried it on puppies. It seems to activate on loud noises. Sure is worth a try! I know it has quieted the barking dogs in my neighborhood substantially!

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

I have one. It's pretty hefty. When my neighbors dogs are barking and annoying me I throw it at them and they run away. So yes, it does work pretty well on dogs. ;)

In my opinion, yes. Ask a trainer or behaviorist for help with barking or maybe get a citronella spray collar

According to the instructions that come with it, that is what it is designed for. The tone of the whistle can be adjusted. I think why it won't work for our neighbor's barking dog is that we cannot be consistent about using it, since the barking is also during the day when we aren't home, and we don't stand in the door/window for hours on end in the evenings. It definitely gets the dog's attention, so I would think, with consistency in training, it would work. Hope this helps.

I tried it and my little girl learned to whine and howl instead of barking...you can try it and send back if it doesn't work...mostly for indoors

It might. It mimicks hormones that a mom dog releases that comfort her pups. So if the problem is that the dog is anxious or afraid, it may help. However, the dog may be conditioned to whine because it gets attention that way. Negative attention can be as much of a pay off as positive attention; especially if the dog is suffering from sepertation anxiety. Even if the attention is not consistent, it can be a great pay off for the behavior. I would get the spray from this brand and spray the crate, then be VERY consistent about not giving attention when the dog is in the crate. Good luck!

This collar works off of vibration from the dog's vocal chords that it receives by being pressed against the dog's neck. It does not have a microphone that listens for a bark like other collars. Mine has never been triggered by another dog barking, a loud noise, or a thunderstorm. They provide a "tester" which is a serrated piece of plastic that goes over the vibration sensor. You scrape something across the tester to trigger the collar's response. The collar actually has to "feel" a vibration, and sound waves aren't enough to vibrate the collar, whereas being against your dog's neck when it barks will vibrate the collar.
