Pet Agree Ultrasonic Trainer

Pet Agree Ultrasonic Trainer

Pet-Agree uses ultrasonic technology to reduce training time from months to just weeks (and in some cases even minutes). At the click of a button, a silent humane, high frequency sound is emitted that emphasizes verbal commands.

I was somewhat apprehensive about buying an ultrasound device for dog training, because some of the other products were given lukewarm reviews. But at $20 for this handheld device, I thought I'd give it a try. Well, I am thrilled. This is not an overstatement. My husband and I have 2 dachshunds and a Yorkie puppy -- all are barking breeds. And bark they do. One starts, and it's pandemonium. We have been going crazy. Nothing stops them once they begin. This little device is the only thing that works. I pair a hand gesture with the Pet Agree. I put my hand out toward the dog as if I'm telling a car to stop, palm out. At the same time, I push down in two short bursts on the Pet Agree. Everything immediately goes silent. The dogs don't like the sound. My Yorkie dashes off to her little bed and sits quietly. My hope is that they will eventually stop barking with my hand motion alone, and I won't need to use the Pet Agree anymore. I recommend this product.

I was skeptical whether this product would work given the price and give than my dog is a beast. You don't even have to point this at the animal and it works. I have a very aggressive and hyper german shepherd and this brings her right to attention. I wish I would have purchased this a long time ago before purchasing a shock collar.

After opening the box, I realized that this is the same training aid my professional dog trainer uses.

I have a Welsh Corgi who doesn't bark a lot but when he gets going he won't listen to me when I tell him to "no bark" such as when he hears something like the coffee maker beep to say the coffee is ready. I got the Pet Agree Ultrasonic Trainer and along with the voice command of "no bark" it was like I hit a mute button. It doesn't scare him it just makes him stop barking and look up like he is thinking "where did that come from?" Sometimes he would go outside and if someone was walking down the street he would bark like crazy but after a couple of times with this device he now goes out and with just a reminder to not bark he is quiet while he is out, without using the device.

My sister's dog, also a Welsh Corgi, does bark a lot. When he is at my house one dog will bark and the other will join in and one touch of the Pet Agree Ultrasonic Trainer they both stop immediately without scaring them or shocking them.

I highly recommend it from my experience. Use it with a voice command and soon the voice command will work alone.
