"BARK! BARK! BARK!" Buddy barked. I used to think Buddy's barking was cute. He's my first dog, and when he started backing at the mailman he was just a puppy, and I just thought he was being cute. "He hates the mailman!" I thought, while laughing, "Just like a classic dog from movies and TV!" I didn't really think he hates the mailman. I thought he was just being a dog…but boy was I wrong. By the time Buddy was a full-grown 82-pound German Shepherd, his barking was out of control. Loud and super annoying. I still didn't think he was actually aggressive – I thought he was all bark and no bite. Until one day, I was leaving my house right as the mailman arrived. Before I knew it, Buddy had dashed out the door straight for the mailman. Buddy bit the mailman right in his ankle! I wasn't a deep bite and I managed to drag him away before he could try again but I was so mortified! Worse, I know what happens to dogs that bite. They get euthanized – killed! With tears in my eyes, I begged the mailman not to report it or sue me. He frowned at me. I could tell he was angry. "You should have control over your dog!" he growled. "I know," I said, "I promise it will never happen again!" The mailman pursed his lips, "I should really report this. But I know what it is like to love a dog. I'll make you a deal. "Have your dog trained not to pull at me or bark in 1 month, and I won't report it. "But if he barks after me after that, he's dangerous and I've got to report it. I thanked him and resolved I would try anything and everything to get Buddy trained. So I did. I tried treats, spraying water, taking him on runs, shaking pennies in a can – trying to distract him, but nothing worked! Before I knew it 2 weeks had passed with no progress. I only had two weeks left to train Buddy. I realized there was no way I could do it on my own, I need to get professional help. But when I took Buddy to a trainer she said he would need to go to doggy-bootcamp and it would cost $2000. No way could I afford that! I explained to her my problem with the mailman and she took pity on me and told me to go see her friend, Bryce. Bryce is an ex-military dog trainer who has been training dogs for over 30 years! She told me he created a device that makes training extremely fast and easy for people who don't have any experience training dogs before. I went to see Bryce and he showed me this device called Barks no More that he made. Here's what he told me… "Dog whistles are an extremely effective tool and can make training a lot easier but since they're manual, the pitch sound changes and it's often too quiet, which makes it harder for the dogs to hear it catch on to the patterns" "This was a big problem for me when I was training dogs in the military so I decided to create a device that would act like an extremely advanced dog whistle and play a consistent, ultra-high frequency sound." "What this does is it grabs dog's attentions significantly better than any manual whistle could and gets them to stop their bad behavior in their tracks". "It's honestly shocking how quickly it can stop bad behaviors – and although it's loud to get them to stop their bad behavior, it's 100% painless" I have a second dog at home so I asked him how it would affect my other dogs? "They'll hear it if they're really close by but as long as you make a point to be talking and gesturing to the dog that's needing a behavior change than they'll be perfectly fine." "How do I use it exactly?" I asked. "It's very simple since it was made for people with no experience. Whenever your dog is performing a bad behavior, in your case, barking at the door, then you would get in between him and the door and press the button on the Barks No More." "I'd also recommend attaching a command to it like "Stop!" so you can just say that and won't even need to use the Barks no More after a few times." "You'll see him stop what he's doing and look at you – once he stops the behavior then you follow up with a treat so in his brain the pattern of "when I stop barking I get treats" will solidify." " The best part is this also works for cats and can be applied to any bad behaviors! Barking, digging in the yard, jumping on house guests, chewing things they shouldn't be and almost any other behavior you can think of." I immediately ordered the Barks no More to give it a shot. I really didn't want the mailman to change his mind about suing me. The last thing I needed was to lose all of my money and home over my dog's training! The thing is, Buddy has never been a biter, he's always just been a barker. If your dog is the same way then I can't tell you how important it is for you to stop that behavior before it escalates. No one wants to get sued or have their dog get put down for something we could have so easily prevented… When the Barks no More arrived, the next time Buddy ran to the door, I pressed the button and yelled 'stop' one time. To my utter shock – Buddy completely stopped in his tracks and stared right at me and I immediately followed up with a treat. After only a week of this, something crazy happened.The doorbell rang and Buddy just stared at me! It actually worked! The next time the mailman came over he was just as astounded as I was. "That was fast" he said, and asked me how I did it. I told him about the Barks no More and he even said he was going to get one for his routes! I was so relieved to have that weight taken off me and even used the Barks no More to help my other dog stop jumping on friends that came over! If you have a dog that has some bad behaviors that you need to get rid of then you have to get the Barks no More! From everything I've tried and seen – the Barks no More is without a doubt the quickest and easiest way to stop bad behaviors. Our recommendation based off extensive research, Stella's story and our own internal tests, we think that the Barks No More is the fastest and most cost-efficient way to get rid of your pets bad behaviors! |
