Fun to follow the red light
July 23, 2022

As far as we can tell, there is absolutely no sound. Our beagle puppy has excellent hearing but does not register any difference when we try to use the BarxBuddy, other than she has fun with the lights!

I don't believe this emits any sound because I tried when my dog wasn't facing me and he never even reacts, which tells me he isn't hearing anything. The light is more of what causes the reaction. I don't like constantly directing a light at him because I'm worried about his eyes constantly looking into it, especially the red laser light. Why is there no option to turn off the light?

Incredible
April 9, 2020
Updated review

Our dog would go absolutely nuts barking and basically screaming whenever we passed another dog or human. She was not aggressive but a little crazy. I only used the BarxBuddy twice and she quit completely. I am shocked at how well this thing worked. She is a different dog.

Works Well
January 19, 2020

I dont push the button often, just once in a while and my yappy dogs settle and go back to bed. The meter reader lady asked where I got it from and is now ordering one also. I should have got two! Handy for the car. Also worked well with my partners big dog. No good when the dog is too far away from you, like at the beach.

Barxbuddy is fantastic!
March 30, 2020
Updated review

Quick and easy. However the advertising before getting to purchase is way, WAY, to long. In fact I almost skipped the purchase because it's completely over done. And I wish that one could use the sound without the light/lights as my dog loves to get excited when seeing the light / lights. Other than that its awesome!

Don't buy this!
July 2, 2021

Upon receiving this product I initially was pleased that the battery was included. But then both small tabs holding battery cover in place broke when I opened the compartment. It was just a slide door so not like it was a complicated process. No big deal tho. Fixed with tape. The HUGE issue is my dog's reaction. I received this product about 10 hours ago. He is still hiding behind the couch. No wonder it stops barking and jumping etc., your pet is traumatized. Buy/use this product at your own risk. And at the risk of your pet's well being. This review wants a pic. I threw the product away immediately. I would not give it away,, nor do I care about a refund. I just want my buddy to forget the whole unpleasant experience. And I have to admit I do not know how to attach a delivery confirmation. I am new to the whole iPhone experience.

DOES NOT WORK
June 22, 2020

This product does not work. I either got a bad one, or it is a hoax. I called and spoke with a rep. Right away there was the excuse that sometimes it takes longer to work on Chihuahuas. Wrong. I also have an Australian Kelpy. It just does not work. The dogs don't respond in anyway. If there really was a sound that only the dog can hear, they would respond in some way. He said they would send me another one. But it's been 3 weeks and I still have not received another one.

False claims/Overpriced
February 27, 2021

This is a review of the device that barxbuddy claims will INSTANTLY stop your dog from barking. I can and will say with 100% honesty that these claims are false. I am willing to testify under oath that this is not true. Before I received my device I received two emails asking me to review the product, but after reviewing and sending them emails saying how dissatisfied I was with the device they have not contacted me. I am very upset that it does not work and even more upset since I found the same kind of device for only $9.99 at a megastore website. I paid $39.95 for the barxbuddy. Do not and I mean DO NOT waste your time and money on this device.

I withdraw my remark about them taking my money. The device eventually arrived. It is well made. I haven't seriously tested it on a dog yet. Fix your communications guys. I see now what the corporate BS "relationship with the customer" means. Had you assured me it was on its way, I wouldn't have spat the dummy..

Very easy to order and the order arrived quickly and as described. Seems to work. I've been working to train a little each day. It will take me being regular at training it's not a miracle device but it will definitely help.

Very easy to complete order. No problems at all. Great

I was a bit disappointed with the delivery time. I understand with all the Cov-19 that deliveries would have been delayed but it was almost 2 months before I received the item.

This is the better option!
March 27, 2024

So far so good placing the order. I hope the rest of the process is as open and efficient.

The order went through smoothly despite my temporary confusion over another order I had cancelled. That company did not honor my request, and now my bank will be dealing with them.

Getting More Quiet
March 24, 2024

My dog insists on barking even after a guest enters my home. She was driving me nuts! Now I am working with BarxBuddy to alter that behavior. I just received it & hope it will make a difference. Thanks for providing tips on how to use it.

The delivery was messed up from the beginning
December 31, 2023
Updated review

Immediately after placing the order I phoned and emailed to change the delivery address.
Giving BarxBuddy, my full address in the United States. Only part of it got put on the mailing label And even after trying to communicate with the delivery company DH L. There was no help at all.
As I knew it would it got to the Post Office and was sent back. So I can't review the product and have no desire to try again.
It was not a pleasant experience for me.

Almost a total waste of money.
February 7, 2024
Updated review

Purchasing this product was easy, but the trimmer was not really what it was advertised to be. Not enough power with the battery operation, too much vibration, when it said the was almost none and dog's nails are still too long, due to those factors. Definitely, NOT for medium or large dogs.

Barx Buddy
December 25, 2019

The delivery time was long but I acknowledge that they have lots of orders, after contacting the company, they responded satisfactorily. Considering it had to travel half way around the world, I was happy to receive it. Now, down to the actual device: my maltese x shih tzu likes to bark at the dog next door which then starts the dog next door barking as well... I pointed the device at my dog and they both shut up immediately. My dog looked at me strangely and ran inside, which is what I wanted. I would say at this point in time, the device works.

Although more expensive than others, I had one before and somehow misplaced it so I am happy to find this item again. You offered a lot more information than others except I don't know where it was made.

Website description confusing and inaccurate
February 2, 2024

Pretty clean website but very confusing pricing. Ordered a specific package - device plus extra heads. Only received the device. That makes sense with the prices on the website but I would have spent more money gladly to get what I ordered.

2 Day Miracle
March 11, 2020
Updated review

I used BarxBuddy about 6 times over a 2 day period. One little very quick push of the button, a lot of praise for stopping barking and a small Milk Bone treat. She's a different dog! Now Remy, who has ruined 6 pairs of curtains on my front door, can be convinced to stay on the sofa with just a word from me. I simply say "no" softly and she stays laying down watching the door. So when the delivery person leaves, I praise her and give her a treat just as I did when I pushed the button. When I go out, she still charges the door with a fierce face and a loud bark, just like I want her to. I have tested this with 3 separate neighbors I asked to come to the door when I was out. This BarxBuddy is amazing!' Thank you for making such an amazing product!

It took way too long to get to the price. When I consider buying something, I know what I can & cannot spend. It makes no difference 1 way or the other how many times and in how many different ways you tell me how wonderful it is! If I can afford it, I'll read what you have to say & make up my mind. If I can't all you have succeeded in doing is aggravating the crap out of me and I'll remember that the next time I see you advertise somethong'

Not sure if it really works..
November 4, 2023

I used iit a few times, but I'm not sure if it works or not because they keep barking when they see you pointing it at them but they seem to be more afraid of what you have in your hand then what the thing actually supposed to do.
