Dogs find the sound uncomfortable — not painful, not harmful, but unpleasant enough to interrupt the behaviour they were doing at the moment they hear it. That interruption is the window where actual training happens: you redirect, you reward the alternative behaviour, and over time the dog learns the cue without needing the sound at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; justify-content: space-between; margin: 36px 0; padding: 26px 0; border-top: 1px solid #e5e8ec; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e8ec; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 130px; padding: 6px 4px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 30px; color: #3a4a5c; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.1; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"\u003e10\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003em\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 11px; color: #6a7a8c; letter-spacing: 1.5px; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 8px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eEffective range\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 130px; padding: 6px 4px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 30px; color: #3a4a5c; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.1; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"\u003e2\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003ewk\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 11px; color: #6a7a8c; letter-spacing: 1.5px; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 8px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eBattery life\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 130px; padding: 6px 4px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 30px; color: #3a4a5c; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.1; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"\u003e48\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 11px; color: #6a7a8c; letter-spacing: 1.5px; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 8px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 600;\"\u003ePocket weight\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 130px; padding: 6px 4px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 30px; color: #3a4a5c; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.1; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"\u003e2\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 11px; color: #6a7a8c; letter-spacing: 1.5px; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 8px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eUltrasonic modes\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 16px; margin: 32px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 280px; background: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #e5e8ec; border-top: 3px solid #6a7a8c; border-radius: 8px; padding: 24px 26px; box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.04), 0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);\"\u003e\n      \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1.8px; color: #6a7a8c; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: bold; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eVariant A\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003ch4 style=\"margin: 0 0 12px 0; color: #3a4a5c; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Georgia, serif;\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/h4\u003e\n      \u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eMatte black body with black lanyard and metal carabiner.

It’s not painful, it doesn’t cause physical harm, and the 10-second safety shut-off limits over-use.

If your dog’s problem is mild (nuisance barking, occasional pulling, recall slip), positive training plus a tool like PawCue used sparingly works well together. If the problem is serious (aggression, severe anxiety, reactive behaviour), please see a vet behaviourist before reaching for any device, ours included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003ePawCue is also not for dogs under 6 months, dogs known to be deaf, or use in households with cats or rabbits sensitive to ultrasonic frequencies.

It’s an aversive — designed to be uncomfortable enough to interrupt unwanted behaviour. UK welfare organisations like the RSPCA generally advocate for positive-reinforcement training as the first approach, and we agree with that as a starting point. PawCue is a training aid, not a behaviour fix; used carefully and paired with redirection + reward, most dogs respond well and the device becomes less and less necessary over time. If you’re uncomfortable with the aversive concept, a recall whistle or clicker-based positive training kit is a kinder first port of call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 18px 22px; background: #f7f8fa; border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid #e5e8ec;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #3a4a5c; list-style: none; padding-right: 24px;\"\u003eWill it work on my dog?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0 0 0;\"\u003eMost dogs respond. Some don’t — deaf or partially deaf dogs won’t hear it, very high-drive dogs (working breeds in full chase, for example) can push through it, and dogs already desensitised by previous owners may not respond. If your dog has selective deafness when food is involved, the test is whether they react when you press the button from the next room. If they look up, the device is audible to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 18px 22px; background: #f7f8fa; border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid #e5e8ec;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #3a4a5c; list-style: none; padding-right: 24px;\"\u003eWill it affect my cat, rabbit, or other pets?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0 0 0;\"\u003eCats often can hear ultrasonic frequencies and may find PawCue uncomfortable too. Rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, and other small mammals also have ultrasonic-range hearing. In a multi-pet household, use PawCue outdoors on walks or in a room your other pets aren’t in. Don’t use it indoors as a general bark deterrent if you have cats or small mammals living with you — it’s not designed for that scenario.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 18px 22px; background: #f7f8fa; border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid #e5e8ec;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #3a4a5c; list-style: none; padding-right: 24px;\"\u003eWhat age dog is it suitable for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0 0 0;\"\u003e6 months and up. Puppies under 6 months are in a critical socialisation window — aversive tools (PawCue included) can have outsized negative effects on young dogs and aren’t appropriate at that stage. From 6 months onwards, the device is suitable for most breeds and sizes within reason. We don’t make a specific weight claim because the response depends more on the individual dog than on size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 18px 22px; background: #f7f8fa; border-radius: 6px; border: 1px solid #e5e8ec;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #3a4a5c; list-style: none; padding-right: 24px;\"\u003eIs it legal in the UK?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin: 14px 0 0 0;\"\u003eYes.

PawCue uses sound, not electric stimulation, and is not covered by those bans. The same applies in most international markets we ship to.
