Wow, I wasn’t expecting anything to happen, but this app has been fantastic! Frank starts ruthlessly barking after a few normal barks and that’s when I open the app and say “quiet”. The ad pop-ups do affect the timeliness needed to optimally use the app, however, and I would pay for the app to not have ads, so I hope that will eventually take place (I’d pay $3-$5, anything more would need to have more features, like a clicking sound for training or a timed set of training exercises for positive behavioral routines to promote the importance of establishing boundaries (for both dog and dog parent(s)).
My Story: I have a 4-year-old American cocker spaniel named, Frank. Frank has appointed himself as our 24-7 (excepting naps) security guard and it’s even worse when dogs walk by our home - he’s uncontrollable then and all bets are off. However, if he’s barking at neighbors, strange noises, squirrels, the changing wind, etc., the whistle app will snap him out of it, so to speak and allow him the attention span to hear me say, “quiet”. Does it work all of the time? No, but Frank is not a robot and I don’t expect it to be 100% effective, but it’s an efficient step in the right direction and is helping to form new habits. Hopefully eventually he will snap out of it when I just say, “quiet”.
