Susan Mac Lauchlan: I have a neighbor with two large dogs that are allowed to bark incessantly all. The. Time. Did I mention their barks are LOUD? I have put up with this for two years now. The neighbors do nothing to curtail the barking. All. The. Time. I was out in the backyard doing what I like to do. You know, enjoy the peace and quiet? Well. I tried the whistle a couple of times and it is NOT silent like the description states. The neighbor said something to his wife along the lines of what is she doing to our dogs? I will see how it goes. Just beware. This whistle is NOT silent. Did I miss that in the description?

BlbPhx: Got this to use everytime my neighbors rotweiler barks (He barks nonstop during the evening, nighttime and early morning hours.). We have a brick wall between us, but basically, the dog is essentially in our back yard, or so it sounds. Anyways, When its not summer, we have the windows open, my kids go to bed early, this dog never seems to stop randomly barking. SO we tried this. Its hard to tell if it worked or not. The dog still barks. I blow it and it doesn't stop barking at that moment, it takes about 5 extra barks then stops. So not sure if whatever it was barking at went away or if it was this. It definitely didn't hurt buying this to try but hard to tell if it is a fix or not. The dog hasn't been barking as much lately, but I'm guessing more that just us, had been having problems with it. Maybe the owners finally did something.

Nira WI: I bought this to see if I could decrease the barking of my neighbor's chihuahua. My family is seriously sleep deprived and the neighbors were unresponsive to my polite requests to quiet the dog at night. I've been blowing this toward the dog from about 40ft away every time it barks outside. To me the whistle sounds like someone who can't really whistle trying to whistle. It's very faint. I'm a 35 year old with normal hearing. My kids can hear it very well and get irritated when I blow it. So does the dog. The dog's response to the whistle depends on why it's barking. If it's barking at something, like kids or cars or a squirrel, then the whistle shuts it up. If it's barking to get back inside, which is most often the case here, it just makes it bark more because it wants to get away from the whistle. Based on how much this dog seems to dislike the sound, I'd bet it is a useful tool for training your own dog. It's important to point out that I had to adjust the pitch until I found the one that made the dog stop. Also, it may work better since it's a small dog. I've read that larger dogs are less responsive to these high pitch whistles. Hope that helps!

Lindsay: When purchasing, I may not have read closely enough and was under the impression that this was one of those sonic whistles that can't be heard by he human ear. It is quite the opposite - on the setting we have it on, it is actually a little annoying and very loud - but for our "repurposed" use for it, using it to get he dogs' attention is enough. If you are looking for something that will curb barking or jumping, this may not be what you are looking for, at least in my experience.

It took a little bit of adjusting to get the right pitch. To be perfectly honest, it did not stop barking one bit - the dogs were more interested in the sound than anything. I was about to send it back when my husband decided to test it out on an off-leash beach outing with the dogs. Ours already have great recall, but occasionally our voices can be lost on a very windy day at the beach or ignored due to a more interesting distraction. We found it a helpful tool to begin associating "come" with the whistle. We are not using it for the intended purpose we had when purchasing, but for the price it is a decent tool to have if you need to get their attention quick.
