DOG-e-walk Ultrasonic Remote Dog Trainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have two dogs - an 8 month old puppy and a 6 year old. Neither dog responded to the "DOG-e-walk".
This device is supposed to emit an annoying/irritating sound that only dogs can hear. The annoying
sound can then be used to help correct behavior problems. The literature primarily focuses on using
this device when walking a dog to prevent the dog from pulling. But, the literature and manual also
state this thing can be used as a hand-held trainer to correct barking and other bad behavior your
little buddies exhibit.
We had intended to use the hand-held aspect of it to correct some undesirable behavior but obviously,
with the dogs not reacting, that didn't work. I have read other reviews of this product that say it
worked for them re: the leash pulling aspect. I submit it is possible the dog *may* have decreased or
stopped pulling, but it may be for other reasons than the animal hearing some annoying sound. Perhaps
the presence of this thing hanging off their collar upsets/disorients them. Perhaps it does emit a
sound that some dogs can hear and it merely confuses them therefore reducing the leash pulling. I
dunno.
What I do know for sure is our two dogs - of different breeds, different ages and sizes, both pure-bred
with no hearing deficiencies - did not react to this thing. What are the odds of this happening?
Now I submit one more item for the viewing public: there's a definite "catch 22" here.
You're supposed to fasten this thing between the dog's collar and your leash. Here's a basic problem
I have: if you're a dog lover and your dog is pulling so bad you want to buy this device - the first
thing I'd do is buy a harness. The constant pulling and strain the collar induces (on the dog's neck)
is not good for your canine friend. Plus, I have seen some dogs wriggle free of a collar and get loose.
Even if you got a big powerful dog, it can strain/hurt his/her neck. And, if you're already using a
choke chain or similar item, why would you be buying this thing anyway? A harness is safer, won't
put this undue pressure on the neck, and much, much harder (if not impossible) to wriggle out of.
But, the dog-e-walk is not designed to work with a harness, so there lies the rub, my friend. Save
some bucks - buy (or check-out from local library) a good dog training book.
So, in the end, the only annoying sound my dawgs (and me) heard was the scratch of the pen writing a check
to my credit card account to pay for this thing that don't work.
In any case, I believe I was rip-e-offed by the DOG-e-walk . Thumbs (and paws) down on this product.
