The Company Of Animals Pet Corrector

Love this - it works wonders with our reactive rescue dog! We have tried everything to distract / redirect him on walks when he reacts to other dogs or animals, and nothing else worked. We didn't want to resort to aversive techniques so I opted for these, and they have been perfect! They fit easily in my pocket or purse, so they can easily stand up to being tossed around. The noise level is perfect, gets his attention every time. And now, we only have to pull it out where he can see it and he instantly self-corrects.

This product makes a loud hissing sound that gets a dog’s attention and helps end bad behavior. Now, just showing my dog the can gets his attention, and he stops barking, growling, lunging, or being aggressive with other dogs. Convenient to carry.

I was pleasantly surprised by this products effectiveness. Having worked as a mailman before and being bitten despite using the supplied "dog repellent" spray the USPS supplies I had little hope that this product would be anywhere near as effective but, it really does work. Just a quick blast at a charging dog is enough to surprise them and break them from it and either turn them away or keep them at bay. I've had multiple dogs charge my own on my street and after only a single use has deterred them from repeating the events. I highly recommend this over the citrus sprays, it's easy to use and small enough to fit in your pocket while out on a walk or if you have a job where you are interacting with dogs who aren't used to strangers.

I purchased this product after it was recommended in a blog article by a dog trainer. Amazon.com reviews seemed pretty favorable as well, so I decided to give it a try.We have two barkers in the house we want to have not bark so much.The small Chihuahua mix is Molly. She's our primary problem. Molly is like Samara, only she sleeps just fine. But she does not and will not stop barking once she gets started. Various methods have been tried and all to no avail. She is a tiny, high energy, intensely motivated ball of noise.The Corgi-mix is Humphrey. He likes to bark. He barks at the mail man. People walking past the house. People making noise out of sight in other parts of the house. Bugs. Ghosts. Humphrey, can be stopped from barking, but it takes a minute and some intense effort.So, in order to preserve our sanity, I decided to try the Company of Animals Pet Corrector. The logic behind how it works was sound. It's basically a more intense version of Cesar Milan's "tsch" noise.Humphrey, First Attempt:As soon as he started barking, I blasted the can. A loud, snake-like hiss issued forth. Humphrey's pack brother, Oliver, leaped about 3 feet and then tried to figure out where the noise came from. Lucy crawled into her dog bed and laid down staring mournfully at me.But the affect on Humphrey was the most profound.It utterly sapped his very will to live. Humphrey's tail is ALWAYS up. He is the bounciest, happiest, liveliest little dude you have ever met. But one blast from that can, and he walked across the living room with his tail dragging listlessly on the floor, crawled onto the couch and into my husband's lap, and laid there like he had decided to never move again. He recovered some 5 minutes later when the blast hadn't repeated.Humphrey, Second Attempt:He was utterly defeated. The second round of barking, and a second blast from the can, sent him to the couch again, this time to hide behind me and lay very quiet and still, as if to become invisible from "The Noise That Clearly Hates Corgis". I honestly don't think he barked again the rest of the night.Pet Corrector Vs Humphrey: Pet Corrector Wins.Molly, First Attempt:We brought the problem child out for a test of this seemingly miraculous behavior corrector. Perhaps even the demon dog can be changed!I sent the kids outside, leaving Molly behind, a scenario guaranteed to make her start barking.She of course promptly did, and I blasted the Corrector.This did not go so well.Molly not only barked harder, she became ridiculously aggressive. Hackles up, she proceeded to attack another pack mate, who had to be put in another room for his safety, and so as not to mess up our tests.Meanwhile, Molly is still barking.Molly, Second Attempt:Molly is now frantically running around the living room, hackles up, barking furiously.I trigger a second blast.Oliver, who was startled silly by the Corrector the first two times I blasted it, has now decided to BARK AT IT. Wait, what? Oliver, no!Molly, is not in any way shape or form intimidated by this thing. In fact, she has now declared all out war on the entire house. THAT NOISE BE D****D!! She is charging everyone and everything in sight. Oliver gets in her way, and suddenly this is Sparta.Fortunately, everyone is separated without injury, Molly is put in check, and peace falls upon our house once more.Pet Corrector Vs Molly: Molly Wins, kicks dirt on the can, pees on the dirt, and scrapes her feet to show everyone watching who is BOSS.In summation:Pet Corrector works brilliantly on normal dogs with minor behavioral issues. I highly recommend it for this scenario.Pet Corrector might actually make tiny high-energy spawns of Cerberus worse. I don't recommend it for the Mollys of the world.For those concerned, Humphrey did recover his will to live, and picked his tail up off the ground. :)

This works great, I recommend it to every dog owner!!I’ve only had to use it 2-3 times to correct my dogs’ jumping and barking when people came into the house. When I first used it, they immediately stopped jumping and looked kinda confused, but when they jumped again, I used the spray and they immediately stopped jumping and walked away from the visitor. Now, any time we get visitors I just show them the spray bottle, the behavior has been corrected 100%.

I can’t say enough about this product. I was very skeptical; I’ve never had any luck with training aids EVER, until now, and I’ve raised 6 dogs, five from puppies.For those who don’t know, this is a noisemaker, nothing more, but it’s a brilliant one. It emits a very loud noise, and it startles your dog to attention. After that, he does not want to exhibit the bad behavior anymore. For some reason, no noise that you can make works as well as this one.I took a small can with me on a walk with my Teddy, a 5.5 lb. Chihuahua. He was incorrigible around people, dogs, and modes of transportation, and nothing I tried had ever worked. On that day, I purposely walked him through an area that I knew held almost all of his triggers. There were trucks, vans, golf carts, people, and two dogs who decided to come at him, barking rather aggressively (on leash, but very long ones). I had to use the spray four times, but in each case, Teddy never repeated the behavior that corresponded with that event.I was so amazed, that I brought the can over to my neighbor’s house, and we experimented on her very out-of-control Visla pup. He is much more sensitive to sound than my Teddy, and he’s something of a coward. He jumped on me, as expected, the moment I entered, (he’s very big), and I sprayed once. It scared him, and he ran to his daddy and just looked at me, all meek and mild. I put the can down and pet him, telling him he was a good boy. He never jumped on me again, the whole time I was there, and this pup was so bad with disobedience, that you literally couldn’t eat a meal around him, without him diving onto the table to get your food. He jumped on my husband, scratching his whole face, narrowly missing his eye, only because it was closed, thank God.The only thing I must try now is a car ride with Teddy, because car rides make him almost as mental as the Visla I just described. I will try updating this review, to let you know how that goes. My little Teddy is pictured below.
