Updated review

Too much bull$#*! and not enough information and where are your reviews? You better hope these are good products. Not enough info with product and where's the CBD oil you sneak in and then can't find. No way to contact you but you sure bug me.

I was a little mixed by what to rate this. It works great to stop our dogs from barking, but beyond that I still need my spray bottle. NEVER and I mean NEVER try to use this to stop a dog fight as it only matters worse. We have two pits and when I tried to use this to stop the behavior it only seemed to amp things up more. Curious things also, is that it has NO affect on my chihuahua, but it freaks my cat out. So if you have a cat that jumps places you don't want them to be on, just point in their direction and push the button and they run.

It works.
July 16, 2022
Updated review

Received my BarxBuddy, and enabled the battery. The first time the dog barked, after enabling the BarxBuddy, I used it. His reaction was total surprise and then curiosity. He's more curious then afraid of it, but it stops him from barking. It's almost to the point where, as soon as he sees me grabbing the BarxBuddy, he stops barking (Smart dog). As time goes by, his barking has reduced substantially in the last 3 days. The key to make these work, is consistency on whenever he barks.

Not So Good
February 24, 2022

My dog loves the Barxbuddy, however, I have to spend my time looking for the top or moving it from the place it became stuck. With the ball not in motion, the top can be put on relatively easy; turn it on and it's virtually impossible to get it on straight. It gets cross threaded or won't pop down even. When I do finally get it what I think is tightly closed, 5 minutes later my dog has the top off.
My opinion, for the price, it's not worth it!

To soon to know
August 24, 2022

Got to admit, this morning I was a bit concern about not receiving the product yet. But when I got home from work, the product was in the mail box. Although, it's a little to late in the night to 'fire it up'. So we will be giving it a shot, first run, tomorrow.

Excited to try it!
November 2, 2022
Updated review

The shopping experience was easy and was delivered in about 6 business days. I didnt realize can only be used on dogs older than 6 months (anything younger is not trainable, which makes sense!). I'll have to wait a few months before using it but definitely excited to try it out!

Pure Junk
January 30, 2020

Against my advice, my wife bought one of these devices. Unlike many reviewers, it was shipped and arrived promptly. She was charged almost $50 with the shipping.
It came with a 9V battery, so she got started right away. It does NOTHING. It is WORTHLESS. The dog it was supposed to help, a Morkie, acts like it doesn't even exist. The lights flash, but that's it. She even tried putting in a new battery, but to no avail.
She is in the process of trying to get her money back, but I have my doubts. She was (unhappily and under some protest) given a RMA tracking number. We shall see.
I would rather advise people to avoid it altogether. There are training collars that do work. Check with an AKC certified trainer, and/or deal with a reputable company, such as Cabela's, that will stand behind what they sell.

Just getting started
February 12, 2024

My dog had eye surgery the day I received the Barx Buddy. That was a week ago. So, just tried it this evening for the first time when he was at the door, anxious about other dogs he heard outside. His reaction then was to bark at the device and the light in his eyes.

So that was not what I expected. I shut it off and put it away for another try at it.

Also, he is a large 60 lb. Bully. I am a small person, female, and I am the one who walks Gordo (his name) frequently.

When Gordo lunges after another dog passing by while I walk him it is all I can do to hold on to him, besides pushing any button on any device wherever that may be.

I am going to hang it from a lanyard and see if I can do both at the same time.

I really want this to work as if it does it will make all of our lives easier and we will be able to take him out in more places.

No customer service!
August 13, 2020

I ordered a Barxbuddy on May 7,2020. The order was billed immediately but did not ship until May 22,2020, at which point tracking info never updated again.

While I understand delays due to the Covid situation, it is now July 14,2020 and I still have not received my order. I keep getting canned replies when I inquire with their customer service department. Is this product/site a scam?

Disenchanted, to say the least.

Unsafe
February 20, 2024
Updated review

I bought this for a neighbor's black lab. To test it I dropped it on my hard kitchen floor. It came apart and a few small pieces broke off from the inside. I put it back together and it still worked. I am returning it because I am afraid it might come apart while the dog plays with it and she might choke on the parts. I am really disappointed because it looks like a fun toy. If you make one with a more secure seal I would buy it again.

Bad
August 6, 2020

Hi I purchased Barx Buddy last month. It did not give me free shipping or the 10 dollar discount for first time users. Then I called them and they refunded me the 10 dollar.
I have a 6 month old Boxer pup who barks too much and jump at people. When I used Barx buddy on him nothing happened. No change in his behavior. Going to return. -Nilu

The first time I used it, it worked. I was surprised because I had gotten others and they really were nothing like this one. The BarxBuddy is a great help for dogs who bark too much. I highly recommend this product.

I have a miniature schnauzer that is perfect in every way except she barked constantly when someone would come in our door for or pull into our driveway. Nothing would stop her. We tried everything that we knew of but to no avail. I saw barx buddy advertised and thought I would make one last effort. She is 9 years old and has had this bad habit from birth I guess. I ordered barx buddy and was surprised how quickly it arrived. Read the instructions and decided to use it. It only took 3 times before she stopped barking. I was in total shock. It has been 4 weeks and there has been absolutely no barking. We are very happy with this product. I would recommend this to anyone with a doggie problem...

No real instructions come with it and the light changes without touching the button from one light to two lights to suddenly blinking lights. My dog barks like crazy if you push the button around him.

Quiet at last
July 17, 2022

My rescue dog has become protective of our home after a year of bonding, barking at any unusual sound or movement outside. He has responded quickly to the BarxBuddy. He stops barking immediately when I use the BarxBuddy. I am using treat and voice reinforcement and he is responding well.

I had quite high hopes that the BarxBuddy would be a great tool to stop my dog barking, but unfortunately it appears not to have any effect on him at all. While I'm pressing the unit on, he will stand and look at me while still barking. With the $AUD exchange rate, I feel that I have just purchased an expensive $85 torch which I could have easily got in the $2 shop... for $2. Very disappointed.

I cannot say anything negative about this company. It's easy to buy and place an order. I received exactly what I ordered, a BarxBuddy device Unit, Item # CPPD1. It really works, which is great. The delivery was done in 10 days.
What more can I ask for. I recommend this company and product very strongly.
