Absolute FAVORITE Training Tool

[sisters3]

I hope to help others with this post. I started using a small air horn for correcting REALLY BAD behavior like jumping when Joey would not obey the off command BUT the air horn hurt my ears, LOL. I NEVER pointed at her, always behind my back. So, my search continued and just started using this product 3 days ago and LOVE IT!! It does NOT replace training, its to be used in conjunction with training and to get the attention needed. So, hope this helps others.

HAHA no threat of going deaf LOL.......it's pressurized air and gives off a hissing sound. Didn't use the horn very long

there's a dog trainer here from LA (but he has a national radio show, named Warren Eckstein) who will occasionally recommend a small air horn noise for training purposes too. Never tried one myself but have been tempted to with my naughty boy Finn.

[MENTION=1904]cali baker[/MENTION] The air horn worked really well BUT like I said OUCH it hurt my ears. The pressurized air works GREAT and saves my ears. YouTube has a training video for proper use, I watched it and following the guy's tips. Joey's biggest NO NO had been jumping, can you believe only 3 or 4 days using this method her jumping has all but stopped. I'm so happy!!

We used to have a horrible problem with a bullmastiff who loved to bark right in our faces for attention. Our trainer recommended we use a spray bottle and to spritz her in the face when she barked. She loved it! Then they told us to put vinegar in the water--that she wouldn't like the taste and smell. She liked that too and smelled like a tossed salad. I wish you much luck in your search. I can't add anything--we failed miserably.

Cool, happy it is working for you, and it's easy on the ears.

I haven't heard of this product either, but I'm glad it's working for you. When Dozer and Blossom were puppies, they would sometimes play too rough with each other and I would get their attention with a can or jar of pennies, and I would shake it, and they would stop.

there's a show 'my cat from hell' and the guy on it uses these things hooked up with motion sensors to prevent cats from going places like counter tops, but also to keep dogs out of the cat box.
