I have to tell you, when I was Christmas shopping this year I saw one a KayBee Toy Store for $9.99. I picked it up initially intending to give it to a dog-walking buddy, but ended up giving them something else. So I took it down to Florida with me and we tried it out on the three dogs. It was so funny. We didn't attach it to anyone's collar I just left it on the table. You have to set it for the type of dog you have. Well, every time Ginger barked it said she was frustrated. Then we set it for my sister's boxer/rottweiller mix. It was very funny with his answers. She was playing with him to make him bark, and it was giving really smart-aleck answers everytime he barked. Things like "Give me a break" and stuff like that. We were laughing so hard. Poor Elvis was getting himself in trouble with his mouth . Then I set it for her Cairn Terrier. He is a happy little guy, who almost never barks. So it took a while before we were able to get anything out of him. Finally someone went by outside and he barked, and it came up on the translator "Hey Baby." It was so funny. Unfortunately I haven't taken it out of the box since. I should try it on some neighborhood dogs.
