What 'Working' Actually Looks Like

Day 1–3
Dog may pause briefly, look confused, move away momentarily
Week 1
Dog associates beep with 'quiet', shorter barking sessions
Week 2–4
Beep alone may work, less reactivity, calmer household

Stop Immediately If:

Dog cowers/hides, shows aggression, seems panicked, no improvement after 2 weeks

Pro Tips From Experienced Users

Environment Matters

Line-of-sight works best. Walls reduce effectiveness.

Timing is Everything

Use during barking. First 2–3 seconds are critical.

Rotate Modes

Dogs adapt. Alternate modes weekly for best results.

Always Pair With Positivity

Praise and treat when dog stops. Never scold.

Why It Might Not Be Working

Check battery, try higher mode, get closer, ensure line-of-sight
Stop immediately, go back to beep-only, use shorter presses
Dog may be desensitized, switch modes, take a break
