Worked for one day a little

By Linda L., Arizona, Verified Reviewer

I have been using this for two months now and it's not working. She hears it but keeps barking. No way to return items, so much for money back.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Don’t buy this

By Diane L., Boston, MA, Verified Reviewer

I was looking forward to this being a good training tool but it had absolutely no effect on my dog at all. Tested her several times and called support 3 times. Only got a 65 percent refund. Don’t buy this!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Best product I found to stop bad behaviors

By Shelly D., Erie, PA, Verified Reviewer

I have a 2-year-old GSD who just wouldn't stop barking when he was outside. He also was a jumper and nobody wanted to come to our house. He is a BIG boy.

I got a static collar and it did nothing to curb his bad behavior. I thought what could I lose if this product didn't work? It was cheaper than a professional trainer and the static collar.

I only had to use the PetGentle a couple of times and my dog quit barking! He no longer jumps on people too! I don't even have to activate it anymore, I just hold it up and show it to my dog and he straightens right up. I now have a happy, content dog that EVERYONE loves to be around.

I never had a GSD that barked or jumped like he did. Now I don't with him either.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

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

Works wonders

By Kaitlyn D., San Ramon, CA, Verified Reviewer

This product is highly recommended. I’ve got an extremely smart stubborn dog that is way too smart for his own good. He thought that he was the king of everything, lol. The minute I got this product I was eagerly waiting to try it to see if I’d make any improvements. It worked immediately with him and was worth every penny. After about 3 days or so all I need to do is grab for it and he immediately stops whatever it is that he’s doing.

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

Failure to deliver

By Claire S., Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

Ordered and item from PetGentle on the 5th of April 2020, was given a tracking number. Item never moved from California, the date now is the 14th of May 2020. Tried contacting their customer service who responds but never gives you a straight answer even if you repeatably ask the same question. For the UK an item is considered lost after 5 weeks and it should be refunded if the customer requests a refund. They refuse to make a refund.

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

Doesn't work on my dog

By James H., Texas, Verified Reviewer

It doesn't work on my dog, I guess maybe because she said it's a puppy. She's a 6-month-old Australian shepherd and Blue Heeler, she attacks and doesn't listen when I use it on her. I even give her treats whenever she does something right but this device is not working for me.

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

Silence of the GSDs!

By Mary K., Tennessee, Verified Reviewer

I just got this! I have 2 German Shepherds (and 6 cats). My GSDs backed down immediately when it was time to go outside. Usually, they bark and jostle around to even bumping me and they have knocked me over in the past! My cats did not show any adversity. I am intrigued! For day one, YES!

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

Best decision you will ever make

By Doug M., Hanover, MA, Verified Reviewer

I love this product. I spent thousands of dollars to train my crazy cocker spaniel including paying a highly respected police dog trainer over $2,000. All I do is press the button and my dog stops barking and comes to me. It’s almost like he appreciates me helping him calm down and stop barking uncontrollably.

Buy this product. You will be glad you did. Finally, something that works. Thank you!

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

It works!

By Daniel B., Erie, PA, Verified Reviewer

Our dogs bark and jump and chase and pull, not anymore! We have a mixed breed who liked to jump and play-bite when it got around people, they were afraid and so were we, so we tried this product, what a difference, now I just show it to her and she settles down. I am no dog trainer but I am not as afraid to walk her now.

PetGentle

By BJ K., Cottonwood, CA, Verified Reviewer

Bought it a year ago, came with battery perfect, works perfectly! Use at home, in the yard, on walks, works perfectly on "others" off the leash running free dogs. VERY HAPPY with it! Sorry, NO complaints, just really pleased. 5 FIVE stars (turns to blue from gold after third or fourth star)...

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