BarxBuddy
Reviews and Complaints

It was quick and easy. I could not get my dog to stop barking at everyone who walked by our rear yard which included vehicles too. It was also difficult to get him, Boone, to stop barking when I was with him in the yard. Within a couple of days he has started to be much quieter. There are occasions that as soon as I open the door, Boone stops barking before I have time to use the training tool. Boone is also starting to be more quiet as people walk by. However the Fed ex, UPS, and mail trucks are still a work in progress. I'm very happy with the changes that have occurred with Boone and his barking due to the training tool.

This is the best stop barking product ever!

My 10 yr old male Yorkie/Shih Tzu would bark at everyone walking by our house and would not stop for anything. He would act like a 2 yr old child and bark for attention whenever I tried to have a conversation with someone or when I was on the phone. He would only quiet down if I picked him up. I've bought and returned several products equally priced and he would continue barking while they were being used.

This BarxBuddy stopped him from barking the very first time I used it. All I have to do now is show it to him and he stops barking immediately.

Best stop barking product ever!

I love this device, I have 3 schnauzers and anyone who owns a schnauzer knows how noisy they can be.
Hunter, who is my male kept barking and trying to jump my fence, I got out the device last night, started using it. At first I was skeptical, he would continue to bark when I pointed it at him. So, I started using it in the house when he would bark. This morning I came outside with them, when he would go near the fence, I would push the button, He would back up, look at me and whine. My neighbors Great Pyrenees started to bark, I pushed the button and he stopped barking.
This device is well worth the money, and yes Silence is Gooden.

I have 2 dogs, an 80 pound shepherd corgi mix and a 25 pound dachshund corgi mix. They are both extreme barkers and it's embarrassing when we have company. I finally decided to try the Barx Buddy because I felt it was cruel to zap them. I can honestly say I had over a bunch of people for my daughter's bachelorette party and they started barking. I did it once and said "NO" and they stopped. They did it two more times and I repeated the "NO" response. After that they didn't bark the entire evening. I couldn't believe it! My daughter was shocked too! It truly works, no joking! It's worth it to me. It's nice having company without the embarrassment of having the dogs barking constantly!

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...

When my cockapoo found her voice she started testing us by using it more and more. A high squeaky bark for "I want it" and a lower, regular sounding bark for alerting us. Recently she had been barking near our table during meals and around the kitchen while we prepared food before her scheduled mealtime. She barked more when we were stern with her, and ignoring her by turning around stopped being effective, so I was on the hunt for a different solution.
I stumbled across Barxbuddy online and decided it was worth trying. Shipping was within a week for us and the results were magical. I believe it stopped the barking after ONE day of using it! It even stopped her from barking at people walking by our yard. Sure saves from being embarrassed from useless yelling! Just push the button and whala! Thank you for this help! It worked so well for our dog that I gave our 2nd Barxbuddy to someone in our dog manners class last week. Can't wait to hear what they say this week!
We love our dog even more now than before!

I've had this for 4 days. I only had to engage it twice. My dog now shuts up when I SHOW her the unit and say "Quiet". I just didn't believe this was possible UNTIL I SAW IT MYSELF! I have a rescue Schnauzer mutt we've had for 3.5yrs. She is a yapper. She barks to hear herself bark. She barks at kids on bikes, scooters, roller skates, motorcycles, mailman, delivery trucks, people walking by, people walking by with dogs, squirrels on porch, rabbits in yard, outside cats, DEER! She barks to get a response from other dogs in the neighborhood. Not good at 2am. Inside or outside doesn't matter. Purchase arrived quickly. Directions not clear. It took me longer to open battery door and get battery out, unwrapped, and installed than it took me to train dog. Dog was outside barking. I went to backdoor, pointed, and pressed button. She stopped dead, whipped head around to look at me with a "what was that" look! I said "Quiet". About 5 min later a delivery truck went by. She launched into a frenzy running the fence. I pointed device and pressed button saying "QUIET!" She stopped in her tracks, whipped head to look at me. I said "QUIET". You could see frenzy tension melt. Her demeanor softened. She walked up to me and we went in the house. If she hears or sees a delivery truck, school bus, or car door slam she will run crazy from front to back of house. I call her name, point unit at her and say "QUIET". Silence! So far I haven't had to engage button again. If she sees me holding the unit, she's quiet. I'm working on letting her start to bark because I want her to be able to warn me. But, as soon as it takes that incessant turn, I just point it at her and... SILENCE! I don't know how the developer did this without being able to hear tone himself, but IT WORKS! I thank you. My neighbors thank you!

The battery was really hard to attach, but once done, this worked like a charm from the first time I used it. Now I rarely have to push the button. When my dog sees me pick it up, she won't even THINK about barking. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

So far it works great. I have 5 small dogs and everytime they hear a noice outside they run to the door barking, All I have to do is push the button one time and they stop until they get outside. It certainly has changed things around here for the better.

Your products are awesome! We have a chatty Chihuahua who never shuts up. All I did was plug in the battery from another room, mind you, and pointed it down the hallway. Then I pushed the button, and I have not heard her all night. Thank you!

It is now quiet in our house! Our puppy (18 months) had started barking constantly. I had tried the bark collars but to no avail. Thought I would try the barxbuddy before I got rid of him!It has been a god send! It only took a couple of times of using it and he doesnt bark!

It appears to be exactly as described! I had a little difficulty opening the battery compartment but once I did, it was easy to operate! Its very quiet and did not bother my puppy as I feared it would! It worked pretty quickly too! I am very pleased with this purchase! It seems well-made, safe, and easy to operate!

Received today and was amazed how well it works to stop our little dog from barking. We recently went camping and it was disastrous. She pretty much barked the whole time. Our next trip is coming soon and I think it will be much more relaxing! BarxBuddy is an amazing product! Thanks for keeping us sane! Peace and quiet at last!

So far, it really seems to work well with our new Chi X that we adopted a few weeks ago. The barking at other dogs and ducks was getting out of control. I thought, oh no, what have we gotten ourselves into here. We are seniors and have never had a dog like this before with our other rescues. It really seems to work quite well, and our walks are much more enjoyable now. Our Chi X is a real sweetheart.

My wife and I purchased this dog silencer and it works wonderfully for our dog. He barks at everything and this has cut out 100% of the barking. Because we live in a retirement complex we really needed him to be quiet and this has done the job. Highly recommend this device and I don’t understand the C- rating because this product and company has sure helped us and has been easy to deal with.

The product works very well. My Chihuahua, who has a deer-like head, is struggling after his older sister passed away. He used to bark a lot, but now he seems to be taking his role as a guard dog too seriously. I am also trying to improve his socialization skills. When he responds to the BarxBuddy, I give him a small treat to reward his good behavior. It was quite surprising to see that he responds well to just the lights.

I have purchased 5 different times now, 1 for myself and others as gifts for friends and family. This product works great, and the company has been great to work with. My last order was two weeks ago in the middle of the stay at home order and the BarxBuddy team let me know their might be a delay due to the issues with shipping. I was very appreciative of their communication as it was not overwhelming, but clear and concise and the order actually arrived 7 days after I placed an order. These guys are great and could not be more helpful.

I also had trouble with the battery until I realized it was tightly enclosed in plastic. LOL! I think it's actually going to work. I've bought things like it before and they were a waste of money! My young dog is a yapper. He goes outside just to bark, he even barks at the sky! He is very protective of me and doesn't like me to to leave the room. I guess he thinks he can stop me by nipping at the back of my shoes and my jeans. Anyway I started using this great little machine and it stops him in his tracks! I'm very happy with my purchase and I will be telling my friends about this product. Thank You!

I just received this device and had to use it on my 10 month old toy Schnorkie who wouldn't stop barking. She is a very verbal communicator. The first time I pointed it at her she really jumped and was literally swept off of her feet and she was completely distracted from barking any further. The next time I used it she was distracted again and stopped barking but didn't jump. So far so good. Can you confirm that this will not hurt the dog. I know that's what your advertising says. She is only 5 lbs and because I don't really understand how this works, I worry that it might hurt her somehow or give her heart arrhythmia or something.

My husband and I live in a condo with a rescued 6 yr old chihuahua who’s lived with us since 9/1/19. We have been a little lenient hoping it would help him acclimate to us and not be afraid of us...but...he is a barker! I have the $100+ collar that the trainers use but it has to be plugged in daily and put on and taken off daily - sounds easy enough but it is actually a pain that I don’t want to deal with! Barx Buddy has been a godsend! It is the PERFECT gadget for annoyance barkers. We actually have two devices so one is always at arms length when we need it. One in the living room and the other in the bedroom. This works so well I would advise anyone thinking about purchasing to order 2 - you won’t regret it. The staff at BBuddy were exceptionally friendly and easy to work with and get ahold of when I had a question. Please do yourself a favor and take care of your naughty canine the easy way! It only takes one press of the button and our little guy is silent. Great product and thank you Barx Buddy people!

I wish there was an option for no stars. This company has the worse customer service. First you never receive a confirmation email about your order. I was lucky that I printed the final page about my payment. I called back 2 weeks after placing my order and the representative told me he was going to call me within next 2-3 hrs since their system was down. I didn't hear anything for a week. So I called back and cancelled my order. There were just too many red flags. During the last call the representative told me that he could not issue a refund and would give me discount on another product. I firmly rejected and had to threaten him about calling my credit card company for retrieving the payment and file a complaint. Then he put me on hold and came back giving me the full refund. Then I had to ask for a confirmation number for cancellation and tracking number for follow up calls. He told me my order number is my confirmation for cancellation (which is fine but him not voluntarily giving it to me made me even more suspicious.)

For any online order there is a confirmation email sent, if product is on back order customers are usually informed via email, calls are promptly returned, and there would be a tracking number given to the customer. This company failed to do any of these. I started to doubt that this company is even in US since both times I talked to someone with heavy accent. The website is very misleading. This company needs major improvement in conducting business and keeping customers happy.

As a potential customer, my experience with BarxBuddy left much to be desired. Although I was interested in purchasing a product, I found myself feeling pressured to buy a multitude of additional items that I had no interest in. Naturally, this was a frustrating experience that made me feel as though I was being taken advantage of.

To make matters worse, it was incredibly difficult to opt out of these unwanted items. The "no thanks" button was cunningly hidden in the bottom right-hand corner of the page and printed in such a small font that I almost missed it! It felt as though I was being trapped into my initial order and was left with no other option but to accept a whole heap of other unnecessary purchases.

In the end, I was able to locate and click the "no thanks" button, but it was a close call. I found myself wondering why the option to decline further purchases wasn't as obvious and easy to find as everything else on the page. Surely, it would be much more ethical to offer customers the choice to purchase additional items without feeling coerced into it.

All in all, while it's possible that the product itself may be effective, my experience with BarxBuddy left a lot to be desired in terms of user experience and ethical business practices.

As a pet owner, I was excited to try out BarxBuddy after hearing about its potential as an effective training tool. However, I have to admit that I faced a few hiccups while placing my order on the company's website. Specifically, I found it a bit confusing to navigate from the point of entering my information to "opting out" of special offers.

Initially, I started to worry that I had typed in the wrong information as it was unclear to me how to proceed to the next step. Moreover, the statement at the top warning that my order was incomplete was a tad misleading as I felt like I had already done all that was required.

That being said, I do believe that the "no thank you" option needs to be more prominent and easier to identify. The boxes where the required information is entered are also too small and need to be more user-friendly.

Despite these minor glitches, though, I was drawn to the website's persuasive storyline that gave me hope as a dog owner. BarxBuddy's product seemed to offer an innovative approach to training, and the website's compelling copy certainly encouraged me to give it a try.

Upon first seeing the advertisement for BarxBuddy on their website, I was quite intrigued. The product's reviews suggested it was the perfect solution for controlling my dog's barking and training him to be better behaved. As a dog owner, I am always looking for ways to train my furry companion and keep him from barking excessively.

However, I soon found myself feeling a bit misled when it came to the price. I had assumed, based on the advertisement, that the product was available in my state of Australia and would be priced in AUD. Imagine my surprise when I was charged in US currency instead. This made the purchase much more expensive than I had initially anticipated, as the exchange rate typically works against Australian buyers.

I do believe that if an item is being advertised as being available in a certain country, it should be priced in that country's currency to avoid any confusion or misleading information. I can't help but feel a little tricked into buying something that I may not have purchased if the exchange rate was properly accounted for.

That being said, I still have hopes for the BarxBuddy and plan on using it to help train my dog. I just wish the pricing information had been clearer from the beginning. Overall, I do believe the website's presentation could be improved to avoid any confusion for buyers.

When shopping online, it's important to feel secure in your purchases and confident that you're getting exactly what you want - unfortunately, my experience with BarxBuddy left me feeling the opposite. While perusing their site, I ran into an unexpected offer for another product that I had no interest in. Frustratingly, the only option presented to me was to add it to my cart with no way to decline the offer altogether. I reluctantly added it to my cart, intending to remove it before final checkout. However, before I knew it, I was mysteriously checked out - and worse yet, I hadn't even been informed about the shipping charges for these products!

This kind of unexpected and unwelcome experience made me feel uneasy about BarxBuddy as a whole - it's difficult to trust a company that seemingly tricks you into buying things you don't want or need. Feeling like I'd been scammed, I immediately knew I needed to reach out to the company and investigate what had happened. Overall, I was left feeling frustrated, misled, and suspicious of BarxBuddy's intentions. Though I'm still interested in their products, I'll definitely proceed with caution next time.

When I stumbled upon BarxBuddy's website, I was excited to purchase their dog training device. However, I was caught off guard when I was offered a deal for dog treats for an additional $10. It seemed like a good idea, so I clicked on it, but to my disappointment, I was only offered the device. I reloaded the page and was met with the same result.

Frustrated, I decided against buying the treats but was still interested in purchasing the device. However, the website kept trying to upsell me with other products that I had no interest in, and it was a waste of my time. I understand that companies want to make a sale but being constantly bombarded with offers isn't a pleasant experience.

Eventually, I managed to purchase the device, but I almost didn't because of all the additional items I was offered. I believe that customers should have the option to bypass unnecessary offerings and go straight to the product they want to purchase. Our time is valuable, and when we spend it trying to maneuver through unnecessary roadblocks, it becomes quite frustrating.

Overall, I'm glad that I purchased the BarxBuddy dog training device, but I do hope that the company can streamline their website purchasing process in the future.

As someone who has had trouble with their dog's behavior in the past, I was intrigued by the potential of BarxBuddy. After navigating through the site with ease, however, I found myself frustrated at the checkout process. It seems that the price I was offered was in a currency other than Australian dollars, which left me feeling shortchanged as it was clear that BarxBuddy was targeting the Australian market. While I've come to understand that this is a widespread issue, it did put a bit of a damper on my overall experience.

Thankfully, that was the only real hiccup in an otherwise seamless process. I was impressed with how user-friendly the site was, and I appreciated the straightforward information provided about the BarxBuddy device. One thing I do wish that was more clear, however, is the estimated delivery date. It would have been nice to know what to expect in terms of shipping time, especially since I am so eager to start using my new BarxBuddy with my dog!

Despite these minor quibbles, I am hopeful that BarxBuddy will be the solution I've been searching for. My dog can be absolutely delightful at times, but she can also be a bit of a handful - especially when we're out and about. She loves to chase after anything thrown, and can become quite demanding when we're on the beach. If BarxBuddy lives up to its promises, though, I'm confident that it will help me regain some much-needed control over my excitable pup.

As a concerned customer of BarxBuddy, I had a rather frustrating experience while placing an order from their website at barxbuddy.com. When I tried applying a discount code while making the purchase, I was informed that the discount will only be applicable when I reach a certain amount of order value. This was not mentioned anywhere previously and came as a major disappointment.

To make matters worse, I had to repeat my order information thrice before it finally accepted it, leading to further delay and inconvenience. What particularly irked me was that the website did not allow me to purchase two balls at once, something that I wanted to do. This could have been communicated beforehand and would have saved me a lot of hassle.

Having used PayPal for many years, I was disheartened to encounter such a problem while ordering from BarxBuddy. However, I still hope to receive the one ball that I was able to buy before Christmas. It has definitely left a sour taste in my mouth, but I remain optimistic that it was just a one-off issue and that the product will live up to my expectations.

Overall, as a customer, I feel that BarxBuddy needs to work on improving their website experience and communicate any restrictions or conditions clearly to avoid such unpleasant surprises.

As a conscientious shopper, I recently purchased BarxBuddy (barxbuddy.com), an add-on brush to help manage my dog's shedding. Unfortunately, during the buying process, I hit the "add-on" button by accident and was unable to correct my mistake. This resulted in an unfortunate inconvenience, and I felt it necessary to deduct one star from my review.

Furthermore, I found the advertisement to be a bit misleading. It was stated that as of May 21, there were only 11 remaining products available. Yet, I ordered mine at 11 pm on the same day and discovered that there were still at least three available after a full day of receiving urgent appeals to buy, buy, buy. As a result of these partially deceptive sales techniques, I decided to deduct another star from the overall rating.

However, it's not all bad news. I must commend the shipping speed, which was incredibly fast and deserving of a full star. Additionally, I found the product to be reasonably useful (2 stars). Though, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to report back in the future and update my review if necessary.

In conclusion, while BarxBuddy has its pros and cons, I would recommend this product to pet owners as long as you exercise caution during the ordering process.

Overall, my experience with BarxBuddy has been easy and straightforward. The ordering process was seamless and I am excited to see if this product will work for my two dachshunds. I have read both positive and negative reviews but I am hopeful that it will be effective for us. My frustration with our one-year-old female dachshund has reached an all-time high as her very high-pitched bark is almost unbearable. We have had her since she was just six weeks old, and despite numerous training attempts, her barking remains uncontrollable. Her barking also triggers our ten-year-old male to bark, although his deep bark is not as much of an issue.

This is why I am willing to try BarxBuddy as a solution to our barking problem. I like that it offers a humane way of correcting unwanted behavior without causing harm to our beloved pets. It is important to note that while products like BarxBuddy can be effective, it is essential to pair them with proper training techniques to experience long-term success. I appreciate that BarxBuddy offers a 60-day money-back guarantee, so I feel like I have nothing to lose by trying it out.

Overall, I am hopeful that BarxBuddy will be the solution we have been looking for to alleviate the excessive barking in our household. I am eager to see the results and will update this review accordingly.

As a customer of BarxBuddy, I had a negative experience with their shipping charges. Unfortunately, the website did not disclose the shipping charge during the checkout process, and as a result, I ended up paying an additional $25 for shipping. This came as an unpleasant surprise, and I'm sure most customers would agree that this is not ideal customer service.

In my opinion, it's crucial for businesses to be transparent with their customers, especially when it comes to additional charges. It's highly frustrating to feel misled and deceived. Therefore, I believe that BarxBuddy should review their online system and find a way to make sure that customers are fully aware of any shipping fees before they finalize their purchases.

Furthermore, it's important for international businesses such as BarxBuddy to be transparent about their currency conversions. I would have appreciated it if the website had made it clear that the prices were in US dollars, as this would have helped me make an informed decision about my purchase.

Overall, I think that BarxBuddy should make it a priority to improve their transparency when it comes to shipping charges, as this is an essential aspect of any online business. Until they adopt a more open and honest approach, I'm not sure that I would be willing to make any further purchases from them in the future.
