For Canadian dog lovers, the sound of a barking pet can test the limits of even the deepest bond. While we adore our canine companions, their vocal outbursts at the mail carrier, a squirrel, or seemingly nothing at all can disrupt peace at home and strain neighbourly relations. Now, a popular solution that promises to quiet the chaos without causing harm is on sale, and it's already a hit with pet parents across the country.
A Humane Alternative to Shock Collars
The device in question is a compact, handheld ultrasonic trainer. Currently marked down to $28.49 from its original price of $45.99—a discount of 38% for Amazon Prime members—it has earned a stellar 4.5-star rating from thousands of users. Many reviewers are enthusiastically abandoning traditional e-collars that administer a shock in favour of this kinder method.
Designed to emit a high-frequency sound that only dogs can hear, along with an optional audible beep for the owner, the tool works by interrupting the dog's focus. Rather than punishing the animal, the noise acts as a distraction, "snapping them out of" the barking cycle. The device also functions as a handy flashlight and is rechargeable, with a single charge providing up to 30 days of regular use.
How It Works and What Owners Are Saying
The science is straightforward: "ultrasonic" refers to a sound frequency beyond human hearing. Dogs, with their more sensitive ears, can perceive it clearly. When the button is pressed, the emitted sound prompts most dogs to stop barking immediately. The trainer features three synchronized sound heads for ample coverage and has a range of up to 23 feet.
Canadian pet owners have shared compelling success stories. One reviewer with a particularly vocal small dog called it a "life saver," noting that "within a couple of tries, he started to get it, and started calming down." Another user, who has multiple dogs that "fence fight" with the neighbours', was stunned: "One quick push of a button and it all stopped instantly... they all shut up instantly and stared at me."
Beyond curbing nuisance barking, many owners report the device helps with other behavioural issues like jumping, biting, and pulling on the leash. "We also use it when they stray too far for our liking," one user explained, noting the dogs learn to come back when they hear the sound.
Ethical Training and a Quick-Selling Item
Within the ongoing debate about dog training ethics, many professionals and owners agree that sonic training is a less harmful option than punitive shock collars. Users emphasize that the device feels safe and doesn't make them "feel like a villain." Its portability is also a major plus; it's "super lightweight, you can literally put it in your pocket."
This deal has proven popular before. The last time it was on sale, it sold out quickly after HuffPost readers purchased it in droves. The current discount brings the price to just under $30, which reviewers consider a small price for regained peace. As one satisfied customer summarized: "Ditch the e-collar.... This one works like magic."
