This product is wonderful for dog training. The sound (compressed air), is similar to the sound the “dog whisperer” makes. It is an intense sound that gets the dog’s attention. Used with correct timing, it really helps to get the dog to stop unwanted behavior by redirecting whatever they’re focusing on. It will startle cats, though, so use cautiously around them. The Amazon price is much less than at pet stores.

I actually bought one of these at the mall out of desperation because one of my dogs wouldn’t stop barking and the other one kept whining. They’re normally not as bad as they were on this particular day and I was getting frustrated as we were walking around as I kept having to pick up both of them whenever another dog came around which was very often.
Anyway, I used to twice in quick succession as my dogs barked and whined and just imagine my surprise when they both stopped. Like completely stopped.
I showed my friend who just got a new puppy who is a major biter and it worked on her too, although not as effectively as it worked on my dogs. Her dog stopped biting for that day, but still bites in general. I think it might be because she didn’t one of these to use consistently because my dogs have completely stopped after I used it a couple more times.
Overall, I recommend the product, although it is a bit much to pay for a can of air. You can’t argue with the results though! I would definitely say try this out if your dog barks, jumps, whines, etc.

When I bought this, I thought it was just compressed air, but it isn’t. It contains HFC134A refrigerant…and yes, it’s damaging to the environment and not entirely safe unless you take caution when using it.
Another product called the Pet convincer uses compressed co2 cartridges, so it is refillable and not dangerous nor is it damaging to the environment. The pet convincer costs more up front but the refill cartridges are cheap and plentiful.
I don’t recommend the pet corrector unless you can’t find the pet convincer anywhere. I bought both products and they both arrived in the last 2 days. I tried both and the pet convincer seemed to be more effective even though the Pet Corrector product gave off a much more powerful sounding hiss.
I think this product is basically the same as the compressed gas you can buy for cleaning computer keyboards and the pet corrector is more expensive than the typical can of “compressed air”.
If you don’t care about the potential danger of this product, it does seem to be effective. It seems to be a workable way to correct your dog from unwanted behavior, but I don’t like the fact that it uses a refrigerant.
The 50 ml cannister is a very handy size and my big dissapointment stems from the fact that it’s not compressed air as I thought when I ordered it.
