But I noticed she was carrying something interesting. It was like a remote of some kind. I wasn’t sure, until a few minutes later when she used it.
One of her dogs started yapping. “Here we go,” I thought. But as soon as it started yapping, she pulled out this device, quietly clicked it at the dog, and the dog INSTANTLY stopped barking, looked at her, then layed back down in her lap.
I was amazed. What just happened?! This would happen a few more times on the flight, and each time I became more and more curious.
So at the end of the flight - with NO barking - I walked up to her and asked her what that was. She told me it’s called a
BarxBuddy, a dog training device that uses ultra sonic sound to get a dog’s attention and make him stop barking.
Humans can’t hear it, and it doesn’t hurt the dog's delicate ears. “They hear the sound and immediately stop what they're doing, whether it’s barking, running away, or chewing on something they shouldn’t be chewing on. It gets them to behave better and better each time. I love it!”
When I got home I immediately hopped online to do my research. It turns out this device is used by celebrities who travel with their dogs as well.
And because I have 2 loud dogs myself, I decided to order one and give it a try.... Here’s what I found:
Within 3 days of ordering it showed up in the mail. It was exactly what the lady on the plane was using. So I waited for my dogs to start barking like they always do, and this didn’t take long. Once they did I pressed the button on the
BarxBuddy, and
they INSTANTLY stopped barking, and looked at me!
I was blown away. It’s like having a remote control to turn off your dog’s barking! I couldn’t wait to show my husband, who was equally as blown away.
