The ears of the dog are not harmed by this. In most cases, a short blast is sufficient, and it's far more effective than the hissing products on the market. Top animal trainers and Humane Societies use and recommend it.
It is, without a doubt, extremely loud. I bought a similar product to use as a "bear horn" to scare away bears when we're out walking in our neighborhood, and it makes the exact same sound. I had hoped this product wouldn't be as loud as the last, but it is. It's not something I'd use late at night in an apartment. When the dog barks, try shaking a coke can full of coins. This is also supposed to deter them from acting badly.
The use of a negative deterrent is only a short-term solution. Unless an alternative positive behavior is taught in addition to the correction, the dog will begin to bark again after a minute or two. Barking is an energy, anxiety, boredom, or a variety of other things expenditure, so they will return to it if there is no other option. They should either use positive reinforcement to teach the dog to chew a toy or provide the dog with a safe place to relax. Otherwise, they should either increase their dog's exercise or do all of the above.

br>br>However, after a few weeks, it appears that I'm starting to train the dog owners; the jury is still out, but it appears that this is working, as they pull the dog in after a couple of blows on the horn. I'll continue to experiment with this method and report back later. br>br>It would be a lot easier if the dog warden or the local township police could assist, but I'm told they can't! br>br>UPDATE: br>br> As time passes, the adults begin to recognize the horn and bring the dogs inside. Let's hope for the best. Pavlov's Animals! Pavlov's Humans!.
This, along with Halt, was purchased to protect my three small dogs while out walking in the neighborhood. Some people believe it is acceptable to simply let their dog run loose in the neighborhood, and I am concerned about the possibility of a dog attack. This horn has a lot of volume to it. If it's windy and you're using a spray defense, the spray will almost certainly end up in your eyes. If I see a strange dog approaching, this is the first thing I do. It's been enough for me so far. It has also prevented my dog from reacting when another dog approaches. No one is harmed as a result of the aggression. a win- win!
. After a year, this product has just saved the lives of my dogs. I took my three dogs out for a walk on this windy day. The fact that it was a windy day rendered pepper spray useless. With their teeth barred, two large off-leash German shepherds approached us. They backed off after I whipped out the dog horn from my pocket and gave it a good blast. They began approaching again after 10 seconds had passed. After four more blasts of the horn, they bolted in the opposite direction. This could have had a completely different outcome; if you walk small dogs, this horn will save your life!.
What a colossal squandering of resources. I'm a mailman, and I tried it out on my route, but it didn't help me at all.
This is a must for me as a professional dog walker! I take it with me on canyon hikes if there is any sign of trouble, and I recommend it to all of my clients. It's a useful safeguard to have in wildlife areas and in the event of a dogfight. When they hear it, all dogs come to a complete stop. Take a chance!.
After an out-of-control dog escaped his owner's grasp and attacked my dog, I decided to purchase this product. My wife and I were able to calm the situation down, and no harm was done aside from being shaken up. If my 12-year-old daughter, who weighs as much as our laid-back dog, had been on the walk instead of us, the story might have ended differently. This horn was supposed to be a deterrent, and given that we recently moved to the mountains, it could also be used as a bear horn. My son was out for a walk when he dutifully reported that he had been tinkering with the horn (my son is mechanically inclined) and discovered that it did not work at all. He didn't break it, just in case you were wondering. This nonfunctional horn would have failed my daughter if she had been out for a walk and something had gone wrong. She, as well as my dog, could have been seriously hurt. Clearly, there has been a lack of quality assurance. Remove yourself from the situation. Please.
I have pepper spray, but you never know if it'll be windy, and I have a knife, but you have to be pretty close to a dog to use it, so I got this for my walks as well. I walk my daughter to and from preschool every morning, and I always have my toddler with me, so this is something I'd like to have. Who knows how nice a person claims their family dog is once they get out and the owner isn't around. I just used this horn the other day because a couple of elderly ladies were having trouble holding on to their large dog. He barked at us, so I took this out and blew it in his direction. It wasn't as loud as I expected, but he turned around and walked away, drawing the attention of the elderly ladies. It's a shame that a family can't go for a walk in their neighborhood without having to be on the lookout, but I'm not going to let that stop me from enjoying the outdoors.
The loud horn sound to scare away coyotes if they come near my yard while my dogs are out in the fenced area was one of the reasons I bought this item. The coyotes flee as a result of this method. When my two dogs start barking at someone passing by, I like to use the whistle sound. It is not as loud as the horn, but it is effective in distracting the dogs and forcing them to come to a halt. I couldn't figure out how to get the whistle sound by removing the trumpet piece, but the seller was very helpful in explaining how to do it. The trumpet piece can be easily removed by twisting and pulling. br>I would recommend this product for safety and training, and I would buy it again.
It should frighten off any approaching creatures, as this is not a pleasant sound. I've included a photo of the back of the package. It also states that this item is good for 200 uses (loud blasts), among other things. br>br>In May of 2016, I purchased mine for $7 on Amazon. Cargo transport A $1 handling fee was added to the total. For a total of $9, you will need to purchase 15 tickets.
