Dog Training Device - Air

I like what the product does. With just a day of using it with my bulldog mix rescue dog, she was learning to break her attention from my chickens and ducks, and neighborhood squirrels and rabbits with just a simple No! from me. Well, I used up one cartridge the first day. The web site says 25-35 blasts depending on how it is used. I had no problem with that. Well, the next morning she had an appointment to be spayed. Set up the other new cartridge that came in the package to be ready for the trip to the vet. She got a bit antsy outside the vet with all the sounds and smells so I hit the trigger for a blast of air. Nothing!! It was a complete dud. OK, aggravating but not the end of the world. She was going to be out of commission for a few days recuperating so I ordered a 10 pack of the cartridges. A couple days later the cartridges showed up and I happily screwed in one looking forward to a good training session. PFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTT -- all the compressed gas blew out in about 3 seconds as I was screwing it in. Ice forming everywhere from the cold gas.... Hmmmmm. Maybe I screwed it in too slowly (didn't think so but benefit of the doubt and all that...). Screwed in another and gas blew out both through the nozzle and around where the cartridge screws in and should seal. I went ahead, after taking a deep breath, and tried one more in case I was completely brain dead (I was - for trying again :) ) with the same results. Left a message at the Pet Convincer site but no response.So, to sum up -- it is a great idea but the quality of the device leaves a whole lot to be desired since it would no longer work correctly after using one cartridge. I am returning it and I guess I will just eat the order for the 10 cartridges (7 good ones left)......Update: I have a message on my phone from the Pet Convincer folks. I will try to contact them tomorrow and see what we can resolve. I would really like to get it working correctly. Fingers crossed!!Update #2: Just received a call from Karen and they are going to replace my unit and the wasted cartridges!! So, I have changed the rating to 3 stars pending the exchange. If the new unit works as it is supposed to, I will definitely rate the product a 5. So far, seems to be good customer support.......Update #3 (and final, I hope!!): I received a replacement PC in the mail today along with replacements for the 4 CO2 cartridges I wasted. Hopefully this one continues to work correctly. As I mentioned int he first line of my review, I like what this product does..... I just had a problem that it quit working so quickly. I'm hoping that I just got a dud and this one continues to work correctly!!!

This is a neat idea but the co2 cartridges do not last more than a day and are $20 for 10. The package I recoeved was open with 2 cartridges. The first cartridge threaded weird amd blew itself amd the bottom piece acrossy room and broke my tv. The Second I got threaded and couldn't seal properly. I'm not sure if I got a defective one or what bit this product needs some work. My co2 in my bb guns last longer than this I was hoping to be able to interchange my cartridges but these are longer and have threading amd rediulosly expensive for how long they don't last.

Our new puppy has been too eager to engage our old cat in what might have been fun puppy littermate "play." We will begin her formal training in another two months when she's had all her vaccinations, but needed to address this issue immediately. The trainer we will be using suggested the Pet Convincer, so I bought it immediately. As he told me the technique is to say a firm "no" before spraying it over the back of the dog while it is doing the undesired behavior. Then when you say "no" in the future, the dog associates that command with the spray and sound made (sound is not audible to human ears). Needed to do it a few times...but now saying no and just carrying it around, reminds the puppy not to be over reacting with the cat. I also give her a few Cheerios as a reward when she's being calm around the cat.Some reviewers have said the aerosol canisters don't last very long at all. I have used my first canister about 16 times and its still got spray in it. The packet comes with two canisters. I bought an extra box because I will also use this if we encounter unruly dogs off leash when I can start walking her. There is also a Pet Convincer2 product that does not seem to get such great reviews. I purchased the Canine Innovations Pet Convincer product so my review it for that product that I purchased on Amazon.

These were recommended by our dog's trainer, and they're great! I've tried another brand that comes in a little one-time use aerosol can. It works, but I hate the waste. I got these because I figured getting refills would be easy. So far, that hasn't proved to be the case, unfortunately (one seller on Amazon who sells CO2 cartridges as being compatible with this device is NOT on the up-and-up...anyhow). If I can get refills, awesome. As of right now, though, I'm stuck with two Pet Convincers and no compatible CO2 cartridges...UPDATE: I’ve discovered this device is almost identical in appearance to devices used for clearing out HVAC lines. The cost is similar, but the quality of the HVAC related device I purchased is much better. Save yourself the money and do a search for those instead

We have a Pomeranian dog that lives next door to us. As cute as this little dog is, her consistent barking was driving me nuts! She is quiet when her owners are home but as soon as they leave, she barks constantly. They leave her outside all day and bring her in at bedtime so her barking started at about 6:15 am (when they leave for work) and ended late afternoon. I had researched several different items and wasn't sure on any of them. Due to the high rating of this, I decided to give it a try. To my complete amazement, this product worked pretty much instantly. We are on day 2 of using it and I cannot believe how much more peaceful my house is. I opened my window (she is about 20 feet away) and said "no" in a stern voice, and she continued to bark, I then gave 1 short blast of co2 and she quieted down instantly. She then started to bark again and I again said "no" and gave another short blast of co2. That was the end of her barking! I have had to do this 2 additional times, once more yesterday and once this morning. I can also walk out into my yard and she hasn't barked at me once, where she used to bark constantly. I don't know how this exactly works but I know that it works! The sound it emits is just a hiss of air.
