PetGentle

By Donna H., Coos Bay, OR, Verified Reviewer

I bought one for my 2 heelers. It works for my male heeler but not my female. She just barks even more and shows her teeth at it. It only makes her mad. I've tried treats along with it plus other positive reinforcements. Nothing is working with her.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Super fast delivery

Reasonable prices

The product does not appear to work on every dog as stated

It does not stop the dog from doing anything

By Donald S., Granbury, TX, Verified Reviewer

I have had one for about ten years and it does not work as promised. My Chihuahuas ignore it but my big dog loves to chase the red light on the floor. This is a ripoff!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

It's a great dog toy

My dog chases the red light and barks the whole time

Scam alert

By Jessica M., Saylorsburg, PA, Verified Reviewer

My opinion/experience: This is a scam where they know full well their item doesn't work. They make their money knowing you will either not bother returning it, or they will advise you to let them refund you 60% of the cost and keep it, so as to "save you the hassle" of going to the post office and paying for shipping. This thing does not work at all. In my opinion, any good reviews are fake. BEWARE.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Please don't buy this

By Peter S., Adare, Queensland, Australia, Verified Reviewer

My experience with this product is simple. It DOES NOT WORK. All my 3-month-old pup wants to do is jump up and chew it if I use it.

Worthless piece of crap!

Save your money

By Dianne W., Myrtle Beach, SC, Verified Reviewer

My dog never barked until we moved 2 years ago. Since then she barks at everything...when my husband or I leave the house to go shopping, docs appts. etc., when we take the trash out, you name it. I bought this thinking it might help, but if anything, she barks more when she sees me with it in my hand. I'm afraid it's too long for me to return it (if I would even get a refund). I kept trying it, hoping it would work. What a waste of time and money!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Thought their sales pitch was good

Nothing of what they promised happened

Unsatisfied customer service

By Rachel K., Houston, TX, Verified Reviewer

Poor. I was charged for expedited processing, which I did not request. They would not refund so I requested to return the item and the customer service rep began to argue with me about the expedited processing and me returning the item. I know I did not request this service. It arrived 10 days later after the purchase date and I was charged tax. The representative’s tone was very stern and rude and not the type you’d hope for with customer service. I had to tell them I was not going to argue to get them to stop. It’s unfortunate, the item may have been a positive experience, but I refuse to support a company that steals my money.

Doesn't work

By Elena S., Belmont, ME, Verified Reviewer

It's a scam. Doesn't work at all. My dog thinks it's a toy. He loves the light, especially the laser. Doesn't affect him at all. Don't get me started on their so-called free items. They charge you more for shipping than the items are worth. Haven't gotten my money back either.

PetGentle Ultrasonic Anti Dog Barking Pets Trainer LED Light, Gentle PetGentle, Sonic Black

By Sharon V., Fort Worth, TX, Verified Reviewer

I would not even give this product one star except that I could not leave this review without giving at least one star. This product does not work at all. My dog thinks it is a toy. The only thing she reacts to is the red light, which she chases and barks at. My dog does not react to what is supposed to be a high pitched ultrasonic sound, how would we even know if it emits a sound, we can't hear it! Her lack of reaction proves there is no sound.

This is a scam! Do not waste one penny on this product. I checked with the BBB just before writing this review, they gave this company an "F" rating! I wish I had checked the rating before I wasted good money on it.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

By Joe Tracey T., Poway, CA, Verified Reviewer

Paid $80.00 for it to work for a few months. Now my dogs could care less. Contacted customer service and was told it doesn’t work on all breeds of dogs. I have a German Shepard and a Pitbull. Asked to return for a partial refund. They told me no and to give it more time?

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Worked for a few months

Told doesn’t work on all breeds

Dog BARKS louder and longer and sounds like in pain!

By Laurie W., Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I bought this for my Shorkie who loves to bark, especially at times when he should not. I have tried other bark collars and was sold by the HIPE to help my pup and I. I got it, put the batteries in, and as soon as Lance my pup barked, I pointed it at him in the lower level and he barked louder! I tried the high level and he barked even louder and sounded like he was in pain! A useless piece of crap for $56 US at half price unless I need my pup to bark louder. A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.

Product not working as described, you may use as a torch or light

By Bohdan B., New South Wales, Australia, Verified Reviewer

I bought two PetGentle devices, takes a long time to deliver, and when finally arrives, I was enthusiastic to put them to work.

After more than a month, I find that not one dog (try on 5 different dogs) will act as advertising.

The product is useless and not worth any money.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Advertising is very good and successful

Product is not working
