This particular can of compressed air has a special nozzle that emits a piercing -HISS- sound. To me, it sounds like a can of compressed air... but to dogs, it's, well, it's definitely something they're not used to hearing and it definitely gets their attention.
Testing this on different dogs reveals that its effectiveness can vary from dog to dog. I have a 7+ year old Cavalier King Charles. He's generally very obedient and quiet, but sometimes the sight of a lizard on my deck or the sound of knocking (either at the door, or more commonly, just someone setting something down on a table or drumming something) can get him whipped up into a frenzy. Especially with the doorbell or knocking sounds, he can start barking like crazy.
A quick shot of this compressed air and the accompanying HISS! immediately stops him from barking. He'll get quiet and still and look around, like "What the hell was that sound!?" So -- it works well on him. So well, in fact, that I'm hesitant to use it because I almost feel guilty doing so because he's so bewildered by it.
I also tried this on a large wheaten terrier puppy with horrible habits -- jumping, biting, barking, destroying things -- and had less success. While she's momentarily confused at the sound, she doesn't seem to associate it with whatever activity she was doing that 'caused' it. So she might stop jumping around and biting you for a moment, but then is back at it once she forgets the sound happened. Too dumb? Too stubborn? Too hyper? I'll have to update later on its effectiveness because I think she might just be too energetic to be influenced by this right now
