These devices are not always effective and are very punitive. Each time the OTHER dog barks, ALL dogs in hearing distance are corrected. I would recommend NOT to use it. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
