My neighbor told me about this product. I have a rescue that likes to bark at other dogs n charge them. She's been through some bad times so I don't want to be too aggressive w her training. This is just like the air cans you clean your computer keyboard with. Just catches them off guard and they don't like it. Usually does the trick though, and they stop whatever behavior you are aiming to curb.

I'm using this product for dog training and the button on the top of the can is very hard to push down. For someone who might have arthritis, this might be an issue.
It would be nice if there was 100 ml in each can as the number of uses per can are limited. I do like the size of the can and realize that doubling the contents would increase the size and make it less portable if putting it in your pocket.

This only seemed to work if I was just a few feet from my puppy and even then she got used to the sound very quickly and didn't react or stop barking. I would not recommend or purchase this item again.

I purchased this product after it was recommended in a blog article by a dog trainer. Amazon.com reviews seemed pretty favorable as well, so I decided to give it a try.

We have two barkers in the house we want to have not bark so much.

The small Chihuahua mix is Molly. She's our primary problem. Molly is like Samara, only she sleeps just fine. But she does not and will not stop barking once she gets started. Various methods have been tried and all to no avail. She is a tiny, high energy, intensely motivated ball of noise.

The Corgi-mix is Humphrey. He likes to bark. He barks at the mail man. People walking past the house. People making noise out of sight in other parts of the house. Bugs. Ghosts. Humphrey, can be stopped from barking, but it takes a minute and some intense effort.

So, in order to preserve our sanity, I decided to try the Company of Animals Pet Corrector. The logic behind how it works was sound. It's basically a more intense version of Cesar Milan's "tsch" noise.

Humphrey, First Attempt:
As soon as he started barking, I blasted the can. A loud, snake-like hiss issued forth. Humphrey's pack brother, Oliver, leaped about 3 feet and then tried to figure out where the noise came from. Lucy crawled into her dog bed and laid down staring mournfully at me.
But the affect on Humphrey was the most profound.
It utterly sapped his very will to live. Humphrey's tail is ALWAYS up. He is the bounciest, happiest, liveliest little dude you have ever met. But one blast from that can, and he walked across the living room with his tail dragging listlessly on the floor, crawled onto the couch and into my husband's lap, and laid there like he had decided to never move again. He recovered some 5 minutes later when the blast hadn't repeated.

Humphrey, Second Attempt:
He was utterly defeated. The second round of barking, and a second blast from the can, sent him to the couch again, this time to hide behind me and lay very quiet and still, as if to become invisible from "The Noise That Clearly Hates Corgis". I honestly don't think he barked again the rest of the night.

Pet Corrector Vs Humphrey: Pet Corrector Wins.

Molly, First Attempt:
We brought the problem child out for a test of this seemingly miraculous behavior corrector. Perhaps even the demon dog can be changed!
I sent the kids outside, leaving Molly behind, a scenario guaranteed to make her start barking.
She of course promptly did, and I blasted the Corrector.
This did not go so well.
Molly not only barked harder, she became ridiculously aggressive. Hackles up, she proceeded to attack another pack mate, who had to be put in another room for his safety, and so as not to mess up our tests.
Meanwhile, Molly is still barking.

Molly, Second Attempt:
Molly is now frantically running around the living room, hackles up, barking furiously.
I trigger a second blast.
Oliver, who was startled silly by the Corrector the first two times I blasted it, has now decided to BARK AT IT. Wait, what? Oliver, no!
Molly, is not in any way shape or form intimidated by this thing. In fact, she has now declared all out war on the entire house. THAT NOISE BE D****D!! She is charging everyone and everything in sight. Oliver gets in her way, and suddenly this is Sparta.
Fortunately, everyone is separated without injury, Molly is put in check, and peace falls upon our house once more.

Pet Corrector Vs Molly: Molly Wins, kicks dirt on the can, pees on the dirt, and scrapes her feet to show everyone watching who is BOSS.

In summation:
Pet Corrector works brilliantly on normal dogs with minor behavioral issues. I highly recommend it for this scenario.
Pet Corrector might actually make tiny high-energy spawns of Cerberus worse. I don't recommend it for the Mollys of the world.

For those concerned, Humphrey did recover his will to live, and picked his tail up off the ground. :)

This item is meant to be used with a negative/positive feedback. It's not meant to be used as a dog remote control or magic wand.

With clicker training your dog recognizes that the "click" means positive reward. (Pavlov's theory of positive reinforcement with bells.)

The way you use it is with negative behavior you correct the behavior then make the air can spray air making the noise. Then once your dog has positive behavior you reward.

For example: your dog is barking. You say "no bark" and spray the air. When they stop you say "quiet, good dog" and reward. But all this has to be immediately when this is happening. That's how you build the positive behavior.

Again, if you use this with training it will work. But it's not a off switch
