Review on MODUS Anti-Barking Device with 3 Ultrasonic Modes - Effective Dog Training, Rechargeable via USB, LCD Display - Control Range of 16.4 Ft - Perfect for Outdoor and Indoor Use by Sherry Smith

I tried these programs many years ago and never had any luck with them working. So unexpected to find a device that works and works surprisingly well. I am a professional positive dog trainer. For many years I was head of the emergency services and specialized in their rehabilitation. Guard dogs, like many terriers and other breeds, are very quick to respond to sounds and movement. Without training, these dogs are uncomfortable, problematic, sometimes dangerous. Many end up in shelters and shelters because people don't understand the motives behind the behavior. Any dog of this type needs to be taught to turn on and off. I love these dogs, when they find their purpose, when they fulfill their instincts, they become wonderful useful companions. The rehabilitation of these dogs is a long process. I now have a foster dog, JRT, who has some uncontrollable issues. Like many JRTs, they can run the house and develop some terribly hard habits. You need solid and consistent training right from the start. This dog has an uncontrollable, increased reactive bark at anything outside its windows. She defies anyone who tells her with teeth and a snarl to leave any spot she claims to be. She believes that she is the protector of everything. This stresses her out, she worries about everything that is out of her control. This device works amazingly well along with the normal serial voice command (I use the Stockdog command which is sufficient). It's important to understand that you need to acknowledge the dog's fear. They want warning, it is their job as a member of your pack to warn and protect. Then take control, use the switch. Confirmation is good! It will work. Keep barking, short fix with this device. Good dog! Or click on a treat. This correction scheme broke the dog's runaway reactions. She immediately stopped barking, turned to me and then ran towards me. As a result of the praise a good dog! Excellent work! Now her strenuous attempt at control was replaced by work, I took control. Now she can relax and be a happy dog. This device has helped me advance the rehabilitation of this wonderful dog. As I became the leader of the pack, their issues with space and retaliation were greatly reduced. A week later, her behavior becomes my partner, her worldview has completely changed. Perhaps for the first time in her life, at the age of 10, she understands her place and what is expected of her. It is only a tool and should not be abused or punished by a dog. Seek help from professionals with ingrained behaviors. While not exactly a "positive" reinforcement tool in the strictest sense, it is a humane method that, in the right hands, can be used as a tool that quickly leads to positive reinforcement.
