Q. Will having a wireless speaker on my dog's collar bother him?
A. Our experience with dozens of healthy dogs shows they quickly adjust to the sound of a voice coming from their collar. Keep in mind that dogs hear voices from many everyday sources such as TV, stereo, radio, answering machine, computer, smartphones, speaker phones. However, we do not recommend the product for dogs that are easily spooked by unfamiliar objects or sounds. Adding something new to their collar could increase their fear or stress.
