Sentry Pet Care Stop that! Behavior Correction Spray for Dogs

I have tried before a calming spray for my dogs (two mini Schnauzer and a Yorkie mix), kind of worked because they get distracted when you spray them, but started barking again too soon, it was getting out of control, so I ordered this product, didn't read the part where it says noise, I paid more attention to the pheromones part, so when I received it and saw the tip of the spray realized it would make noise. First barking session and I sprayed at them... they fell silent instantly, I have been using it for 10 days now, but much less, they just see me with the spray in my hand and stop barking. Kind of scare them, but it's okay, is not they are terrorized, they recognize that they have to stop barking when I have it because I'm gonna use it and they don't like it. For me works perfect; when I said it was getting out of control I mean that if someone was ringing the door bell they bark non stop, a person or dog passes by in front of my home they bark, mailman they bark, it was too much. The smell is also nice, so I'll keep buying it.

I have a very reactive chi mix who flips out barking at cars, people, animals, houseguests, neighbors, etc. I bought this as an alternative to whistles and spray/shock collars. At first, I used it sparingly and inconsistently due to its high price and doubt over the efficacy. It didn't have much of a long term effect. However, once I started using it and carrying it whenever I took my dog out, it has worked wonders. Even after just a week, my dog is finally responding to a quiet command and restraining himself from barking at everything, which has kept him out of the anxiety spiral. Now I hardly ever need to spray it. The spray has an interesting combo of a startling noise and calming scent. Sometimes I let my dog sniff the nozzle just so he calms down and is aware I have it on hand. Neighbors have commented on his change in behavior. I highly recommended this as a training tool. *NOTE* the can is very pressurized and the nozzle is sensitive, so you must take care when removing and replacing the cap or holding it. We leave it uncapped.

I learned pretty quickly that you cannot over-use this, or it will become less effective. They'll learn pretty quickly that it's not going to hurt them, so they'll ignore it. I use it to get their attention when they are in spaz mode and aren't listening. It brings them back to focus. I only spray it once though. Then I use commands. I've sprayed it at least a couple dozen times and it's not empty yet. I don't notice a calming effect. I don't mind the smell, it goes away quickly. It could definitely be cheaper, though.

I’m so glad that I found this spray!! I have 3 Miniature Schnauzers. One is 6 years old and the other 2 are 5 month old puppies! I actually bought the spray to get the attention of the 2 puppies for training them. But one afternoon on the screened in porch I gave it a spray to correct the 2 Puppies and the aroma of the dog pheromone scent that is in it, wafted through the air, all 3 dogs sniffed the air and completely settled down. The smell was even pleasant to me as well. They now listen so much better and this is helping me out with my training! I will be ordering more! Such a great value to add to your training regimen. UPDATE: We lost our Sweet Little Aurora our 6 year old Parti Miniature Schnauzer to cancer. So we still have the 2 sister Schnauzers and they are almost 2 now and we still use this STOP THAT! Spray with them occasionally now to have them focus and pay attention. They are siblings so they tend to get silly sometimes during training, just like us human siblings did when we were younger! We stop training and be silly for a bit “to get the sillies out” 🤣🐾🐾😂🤪 And now all I have to do is get the can of STOP THAT and show it to them and the come to attention and regroup. The pheromones in this are supposed to smell like an alpha dog. All I know is this stuff works! We will always keep some on hand! 🐶🐶🐶

This definitely stops unwanted behavior in its tracks, but it seems to really scare my dog. Now, I only need to pick up the can and he cowers in fear. I really try to avoid using it unless it is absolutely necessary. So, it's effective, but I'm not sure it's worth the negative psychological impact on my dog.

The scent of this product was truly awful 😖 it made me sick to my stomach and made me feel light headed. My dog thought when we pushed it down and it made that sound it was literally something to play with. It says to spray away from the animal but my dog is sooo dumb he would walk right into it and try to eat the spray when it came out of the can! He literally thought it was a toy ugh. I wanted to return it but we literally went through the whole bottle in a couple of days 😫. Our dogs behaviors that this product is supposed to correct just made him worse, he would bark at the bottle and twice he lifted his leg up and peed directly where I had just sprayed your guys correction spray, on my leather couch that now and will probably forever until I replace it will smell like puppy pee! Honestly I think your company should have to replace my couch, not happy! I will never purchase this product again, or any other products made by your company 🤔

This works. The can is small. I 💕💕💕 this soooo much that I bought 2 more. Some might think that the price is high for 1oz. I’m telling you that this is amazing - my 8 year old dog stopped barking at people on our walk for the FIRST TIME.

Smells good, but my dog doesn’t like the air sound I guess. We don’t even have to spray it anymore, just show her the can. My daughter has a small dog and said it doesn’t work on her small dog. It’s sure worth a try though in place of an e-collar.
