It's a little big to be carrying around and you'll have to stop walking to point it towards the barking dog, which my make him bark more.

My dog doesn't bark at all anymore and if he has a slip I put it back on until he gets corrected again. If your dog hates it as much as mine does he won't bark on his walks anymore...

I would not think it would be a good buy for your situation. This item emits a sound that the human ear does not hear, but animals DO....in your case, with your dog being closer than the neighbors, it would probably bother yours more than theirs...........

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.

I'm not sure. All I know is it only took 3 times and my dog stopped barking at other dogs when we went on a walk.

My mom found that to be the case in her house. all of mine bark and it didnt work at all for them. My mom used it and it really bothered one of her dogs. She has 2 Afghan hounds that are pretty sensitive to everything!

If you dog is whining he is having anxiety and merely want to be with you. Would you shock your kid if he/she were afraid to be by themselves or the dark? I don't know, maybe you would. I'm not against bark collars. I have used them in the past for chronic barkers who run around barking out of habit.They have their purpose and if used properly and compassionately they are useful. However, it's abuse if you are using it for a dog who is in distress. Seriously, think this through a bit. Your dog suffers anxiety and pain just like you do. Using as you want to is like people who slap their kid when he cries. Wow. If you dog is whining he is having anxiety and merely want to be with you.

No, the collar has no automatic response to a dog's bark or actions. For whatever the correction might be, the remote must be used to activate the collar. Barking is not a problem in my case so I'm not certain, but I suppose you would have to leave the collar on and hit the remote when the barking starts. However, the manual warns that you cannot leave the collar on indefinitely as it will irritate the dog's neck. Hope this helps.

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

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

yes, it works great. my dogs stopped barking the first day i used it. i have it hanging on a low branch on a tree. my 2 dogs where non stop barkers as soon as they went out. now they do not bark outside anymore. wonderful....

I had zero luck with this thing. The only thing that worked for me was talking to the neighbors and/or calling the cops. Our township has regulations about barking dogs and I took advantage of them. It's a shame you have to call the law on your neighbors but it may be your only recourse dealing with people who lack common sense.

It does not recognize if your dog barks. This is more like a super long (invisible) leash. It will not stop them from barking unless you're keeping an eye on them & you manually reprimand them & hit the button to zap them anytime the do bark.

I wouldn't. It's not 100% when kept inside out of the elements. I've placed mine inside adjacent to my back door. I live next to a busy street & can hear the barking, when the volume is turned all the way up. I still like the product & use it every time I leave town. Hope this helps!

The pet convincer is more for close use. If the dog is very sensitive to the noise it might work. You may want to consider a bull horn for that distance.

Yes, if the window and the dog are close enough as they need to be when there's no window or wall between you and the dog. I've used it within my home for that purpose. I try to yell "No" loudly enough near the window for her to associate the command with the collar stimulus. Ultimately, I want her to respond to a voice command because sometimes I do want her to bark for security purposes.

I bought this to stop my next door neighbors dogs from barking and it seems to work. When they start barking I just walk over to the fence and raise my arm up over the fence and push the button and they stop barking. So it may work for you but I guess it depends on the dog etc. on how well.
