4:33 The fact Kevin looked at his notes means he wrote down the dog's name 🥺
he also has committed a scam 🥺
@@Space98000 Yeah but doggo 😂
@@Space98000oh shut up 6 subscribers go watch more anime
As soon as Emma slipped out of that thing on her own I'd be out.
😂
Ok Barbara! 🤣
Ye.. any dog owner knows that this hat wouldn't sit on their head for a second
It would take a lot of effort and training to keep it on. We just surround our dog with sofa pillows during thunderstorms. They might keep it on while they're scared, but I'm not spending that much to find out.
😂
The dog during the pitch just keeps looking at the floor like, "Put me down please" 🤣
How the sharks cared that the dog was limping was adorable
They didn't care enough to invest tho.. 😢
This product would sell like crazy in Hawaii. Fireworks are unbelievable on New Years and many people have to board their dogs on the other side of the island just to avoid the panic and stress it causes them! I really hope this product takes off and can help pups out here in Hawaii.
Don't they sell them online currently and you can just buy it? Lmao...
In the Netherlands it's the same. Absolute warzone here leading up to NYE.
Hawaii is too expensive to pay $200 for 1 time dog headphones. I can see a dog using it as a toy. They fell off the dogs head so easily and the dogs can't talk and tell you how effective they are. It won't hurt to let them hear the fireworks once every year lol
@@jayyswrld2464 ''It won't hurt to let them hear the fireworks once every year lol''?!?!
Oh you silly little empathy-free, typical right winger.
@@sanjuansteve 😂
I think the best part is the sharks starting call her, her dogs name. The woman’s name is Kristin 😅
I noticed that too!! I was like... am I trippin'?? FRFR... Did Lori just tell the dog 🐩 that she was out??
I'm rolling on the floor laughing 🤣 I thought I was the only one too!
LMAOO
I know! Hilarious 😂😂
With this pitch, probably best she had an alias
The way she's holding the dog is grinding my gears
The dog obviously likes it
This comment is grinding my gears
She obviously is taking good care of her if she’s 15
Glad I wasn't the only one. Literally letting the animals body weight crush its ribs. You can see her trying to kick against the lady to relieve pressure. Plus at 15 her bones have to he thin.
Yes!! How I was taught was to hold with two hands. One on the bum and the other underneath their arms. It never felt right to hold them on the side.
the way she was carrying her and she's 15!!!!???? poor emma
This. I was looking for this comment. There is no way I would hold up a fifteen year old dog, not to mention in such a contorted way. You can also see in her face that Emma must have been in tremendous pain in that moment.
44th like
I was 💬 ng the exact same thing
@@swedishshortsnout5610 😢😢😢😢😢
I know nothing about dogs. What's wrong with holding an old dog?
I liked that she took feedback positively. Beautiful personality. Thoughtfully designed product. Wish her luck 😊
I think it's a great concept. Yes, it needs to be affordable for most pet parents. Even renting a pair for an event should be an option.
I feel like the sharks grossly underestimate how much money people spend on their pets. It’s insane
Would you pay $200 of your hard earned money to use this product maybe twice a year, while also gambling on the fact that your pet might not even let you put this thing on its head for hours on end?
@@Justin-uc8sc exactly ! Lol
@@Justin-uc8sc you really underestimate pet owners
@@ChristinaMagma I am a dog owner and my dog is afraid of fireworks. I wouldn’t buy this.
The answer, sadly, is no. If I were that concerned I'd just chill with my pet on the fourth of July and find ways to distract them. This is a $200 thing. Too expensive.
No one is spending $200 on something that solves a slight inconvenience for 4 hours of one day out of the entire year… especially when it really only affects certain areas of the country and certain dogs.
Where I live, the fireworks aren’t that crazy, and my dog doesn’t really care. You really need the right dog, in the right environment, and the right pet owner who needs or can afford it.
Neat idea, but for those reasons, I’m out.
@@zyncwargaming179 why is calling people “poor” funny or cool to you big man?
Well here in hawaii we go crazy with fireworks every year and basically every homeowner has a dog here that hates the loud noise of fireworks. Its true that it is only 2 days out of the year that this product would be needed so unfortunately im out
Gunshots too. Agreed though expensive
Im actually buying one now lol
Also thunder on rainy days can cause some dogs to freak out the same way as gun shots and fire works.
The head gear didn't seem to fit very well plus it is expensive.
When my dogs get a little upset by loud noises I just pet them for the 15-30 minutes those loud noises last. Which calms them
The real issue is that these noices can hurt your dogs hearing long term. This isn't just about making them feel better while in actual physical pain, but preventing loss of hearing.
@@topshelfdustin3060 true it's just in my area of where I live I'd maybe need it 3 times a year
Pity Barbara wasn't there, she would tell how much she likes dogs, that she has a dog, and how extremely useful this product is....and then she would be out)
😂😂😂
@alecmiller6066 - Your Barbara joke is NOT funny - and is a LIE !
She was already out, that's why she weren't there.
Barb actually had the biggest most profitable deal in shark tank .
She'd point out that the dogs are LIKE their kids....not actually kids....
It needs to be $50-75 at most. At $19.99-29.99 it would fly off the shelves.
“You will be back in”, she said to Lori. LOL
I had a cat that literally went out to chill in the middle of the yard to watch the fireworks go off lol. Totally chill...paw licking and everything
My dog December does the same on Diwali as well ..he loves the blasts and fireworks 🎇
"the problem is that your product actually helps the dog and is expensive, when you could make a product that's much cheaper that doesn't help them, but market it like it does" is basically what the judges are saying
It doesnt help the dog, though. For one, sensitive hearing doesnt mean that noises are louder for dogs but that they can register a wider range of frequencies. Loudness is the same as for us. If the dog is scared of loud noises its because it doesnt trust in the owner knowing whats up. Good on them for not supporting this bs.
Maybe sell the tech separately as an option. I use noise cancelling for my pup (just the very loud window ac unit) and it works ok.
If this was cheaper, this could have been BIG.
Happy hoodie is $8-16
Maybe I just got lucky living in the city but my retriever isn't bothered at all by fireworks or thunderstorms.
@@Juskemper12 he deaf
Especially here in the Netherlands. It's insane how our country transitions into a warzone in the days leading up to New Years Eve.
“We’re gonna take into consideration all the feedback, and come back stronger than ever” It took everything she had to make herself say this
1:15 and 1:24 you can clearly see that Robert is a wild sea lion in disguise 😆
When my sister's dog was freaking out on the Fourth of July, I figured it was because she thought the noises were right outside the wall, and I tried letting her out into the yard so she could look around and see that the noises were far away, and she did calm down. I don't know if I was right or not, but it worked at least in that case.
00:33 "the 4th of July" 🖐️ lol
One of the sharks should've made a loud sound to see if they could spook the dog and prove it doesn't work
That's stupid.
Wonderful: AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
noise blocking doesnt work that way
@@srikanthsiva1975 Aahhhhhhhhgg
I don't blame the sharks at all, this is extremely niche... even if you live in an area where fireworks are common, or thunderstorms occur often... many dogs aren't even bothered by it.
ROBERT SOUNDS LIKE AUNT TINA LAUGHING 🤣
200 bucks for one night a year is way to much
Fireworks happen several times a year, and then factor in thunderstorms, or construction etc
Hahahahahahah did someone else notice how Lori calls her Emma? (That’s the dog’s name) 5:56
I think its more traumatized for the dogs for not able to hear the surrounding and be strapped with a tool on their ears.
Dogs get used to these things. They never get their hearing back however if they're too close to these sounds.
I mean it’s playing music too lol
I FULLY agree!!! U don’t even Need the electronic part of it! Just the head piece itself is Perfect as it is!
Dumb.
do we notice how lori and mark both called her emma … which is her dogs name …
It’s because they’re talking to the dog…
Lol Lori does @ 5:55
Happy hoodies are $8-16. Groomers use them when drying dog to help with the blow dryer.
Thanks
Kevin wasn't kidding. That dog was high as a kite.
My dogs are terrified of fireworks. This is a real problem for most dog owners. I can see a lot of ppl being interested in this. It may take some getting use to for the dogs but no different than muzzle training or leash training,I would think.
The whole time she held the dog like a prop. If that was "her" fur baby, she would have held it in front of herself to support it. And that stagger when it got up , drugged up pup
Jesus
I know right! This is actually SO VERY BAD for this dog’s SPINE!!
These kind of people aren’t ‘dog-people’.
If they were, they would treat the dog like a dog, an individual being, perfectly capable of standing and walking. Respect the dog for what it is.
She treats it like a handbag. She should get a fluffy toy dog, not a living creature.
And that poor doggy was her gunea pig
@@israelhernandez5431 - the dogs name was EMMA - NOT Jesus!! Ehhh?
Hey @19Derek82 - Are you are judgmental in daily life, as on social media ?!? Ehhh?
I could see this being a huge product for places like Coachella, or EDM festivals in general. Dogs living near Airports. The markets are niche, yeah, but there's quite a few of them. I think the sharks overlooked that in my opinion.
Oh wow great point I didn't even think about concerts/airports!
"Dogs living near Airports??????" are NOT going to Live with this (pad) product on its head.
Lori just called Kristen; Emma haha 😄 the only thing more ridiculous than the item is naming a pet with a person name. 🤣
During 4th of July a bunch of people were setting off fireworks in the neighborhood my aunt's dogs all go loose and ran away we got into our vehicles to look for the dogs they were in town running around in the road they were acting confused and barking at everyone, fireworks makes some dogs go absolutely nuts so I see why this product exists! Thanks!
1:23 I almost thought there was another dog in the studio who started barking
I moved to the country and my dog gets so scared from gun shots all the time. This is the first product I would genuinely test to help my pup.
And $200 is insanely expensive though, no way I’d pay more than 40-50.
I wish I had this with my old dogs. I would have definitely paid the $199.99 because having my dogs jump into my window and braking both the window and his leg ended up costing me thousands of dollars
Damn thats one mfer of a dog
Yep. I had a dog growing up who would panic everytime it rained outside, not even stormed. This would of been a huge game changer
The amount of meds she was on for anxiety cost wayyyy more than this headset.
@@weganmerner7014 You think a dog that was that anxious would let you put a hat on its head?
I couldn't keep watching because the way she was holding the dog, no support for the back end at all. It goes against my grain.
I agree
If that dog was uncomfortable or didnt like it, she would try and get down. Toughen up buttercup. Not everything is going to be up to your standards in life. That dog is fine
@@bondjames3146 this needed to be said
Lmao calm down Karen
@@shreeta8 11111
Imagine paying that much money for something that happens a few times a year. If you live in an area where thunderstorms or fireworks are common your dog is almost certainly used to it
Have two dogs. One goes nuts with fireworks. Other has a problem with just loud sounds in general. Thought this would be great for Christmas until she said 200. So 400...okay bye. Pretty sure my Bose Headset with noise cancelling was near 250-350 and its used daily.
She should change the design so it fits well and doesn't fall off, and offer a sound dampening foam version for $30-40 as a lower end alternative to her product line.
too niche? that’s a huge problem for dog owners, my own dogs don’t suffer from this, but many home dogs have serious anxiety and others have passed from heart attacks due to stress… i think that could be a big market
My dog was freaked out by thunder and fireworks. This may have helped him. Eventually, he became deaf and was calmer overall.
Thundervests/shirtdoes the same thing minus the hearing aspect (reduces anxiety and stress) and those are less irritating for the dog and plenty times cheaper. Don’t see the point of this product much
I never understood this. I trained 3 different dogs to ignore fireworks. None of them were phased by them. Most of the anxiety in animals is created by their human. Be better.
Mark: "She looks good for her age!"
Kirsten: "Why thank you."
Mark: "I wasn't talking about the dog ... "
(awkward silence)
That is really neat. Keep your dogs inside during events or anytime you can’t monitor them. Get anxiety meds and sedatives from a vet, make sure to get a full panel blood test for health reasons first.
💀💀do you have ANY idea how expensive pet medicine is?? You can’t just ‘go get anxiety meds from a vet’ lmfao
At $200 I will just buy my dogs CBD dog treats to keep them calm during fireworks and storms 😂
Lorrie called her Emma 😂 her name is Kirsten.
I think it can make money. Have you seen dog owners lately they're absolutely nuts about their pets.
God bless Emma and Kirsten. So many dogs suffering from Loud noises. My dog would uncontrollably shake for hours and and developed terrible arthritis. Sharks were right about a cheaper option but they should have invested.
It’s no patent. Another company would’ve just ripped it off and sold it cheaper
This is confusing in many levels. 1) why only focus on dogs? Cats also have sensitive ears! 2) is this meant for dogs that go to fireworks with their owners or if they're in the house? Because having a carrier that can be sound proof for a pet to be in for a couple hours during fireworks makes more sense than headphones... That way you can get the cat market too.
Yeah I definitely love dogs too much. I didn’t like her product at all but I was rooting for her to get a deal just bc I knew the dog would get hooked up
They should try to take them to kennels/dog boarding Houses, doggie day camps since a lot of their owners tend to drop them off for certain holidays. They could rent them or buy them there like an add on. That would be a great strategy. Plus lots of pet owners is great advertising aka word of mouth!
I’d give it a try… my dog gets seizures with fireworks. The vet gave us a pill, now the pill gives him seizures…
This woman is nuts. That poor dog not only very obviously doesn't like having it in its head, that little doggy got scared once she put that giant thing on. The dog was way more comfortable in that environment pre-headphone.
Plus, the dog isn't going to understand why the thing is being put on them.
Just don't take your dogs to 4th of July parties and during thunderstorms lock dogs up in a safe room. Save $200 for party supplies .
Not sure where you live but where I am you don't need to go to a 4th of July party for fireworks. No matter where you go there are people setting them off everywhere. As for a safe room, well obviously if you have a completely padded soundproof room that would be the best option, but not everyone does.
I know we spend way too much on our pets. But there's that line we (well, at least for me) don't cross because it's too silly. This is too silly. And too expensive, might I add.
great thoughts at the end from the entrepreneur. She’s a winner through and through. Great job.
Yeah I liked her - that product is ridiculous. She needs to find another product.
She's probably the reason it got this far, when it shouldn't have!
This is an upgraded happy hoodie
It amazes me that the sharks have no concept of how much money people will spend on their pets. Most people give their dogs some type of sedatives during storms and fireworks, and over time that becomes costly. This would be a one time expense....I think they were short sighted on this
Do you know how much costco brand benadryl you can buy for $200?
A niche of a niche of a niche, Robert? If you live near a beach (at least on the east coast), fireworks go off all the time. And this wouldn't just be for fireworks. This would be great for travel, too. Dogs need treating and training to accept harnesses sometimes, too. I think if the helmet were designed more like a harness, it would work better and not fall off so easily. The price point is a bit high, too, but it's definitely a good idea and not as niche as described.
What percentage of the market is "near a beach on the east coast"...you just proved his point.
happy hoodie exists and is way cheaper. does the job.
Yes! Was going to mention the happy hoodie!! 🐕
I agree with the sharks. I’m an audio engineer, sure the phase cancellation headset is cool, but is it necessary… creating earmuffs which already exist would be nice. Plus not just dogs are afraid of loud noises. My cats are scared as hell from fireworks. Seeing it’s just for dogs 🤷♂️ I’m out
I don't think dog people understand that people who aren't dog people just simply sent care. this is a privileged product because in history animals have never needed this so its basically something humans just want for their dogs, not something the dogs need
I would have one - my pit bull is terrified of fireworks. $200? I love her to death, but that price is insane. It's easier to just be sure we are home and all 170 pounds of her can curl up in my lap and feel safe for free. The price is just insanely high!!!
They kept calling her by the dog's name 😂
Oh dear... I kinda get it as have spent last 30 years putting fire and pyrotechnic shows, my last dog loved fireworks and bangs etc....
This is amazing. My dog is scared of the fire alarm testing
My dog just curls up next to me and the cat when there is fireworks, would never even consider spending 200 bucks buying something I'll use twice a year (new years and 4th of july).
I think it’s more feeling than noise
Everyone don’t hold your dog like this they hate it support their back and neck 🙏🏽
I feel like the happy hoodie solves this problem for dogs but for much cheaper
Did Lori call the pitcher Emma ??? Thats is the dog's name 😂😂😂😂😂
The dog has obviously been under lots of tests, those sad eyes say everything! Let the animals live naturally!
Here’s what I would do, take out the active noise, cancellation, because I doubt that any level of active noise cancellation will be able to help with fireworks and things that she’s most likely targeting, and make it a passive noise, cancellation system, model it after the noise, canceling headphones that they use in new, demolition, and construction work, high-quality noise, canceling headphones, like that I really good, they also really expensive, but they can be cheaper than the active noise, canceling type of headphones, both to make, and buy, and they would be way more effective, what do you need to do is, look into it material that can you absorb or block, more sound, and designs that can dissipate more sound, may I suggest a silencer, like he would find on the end of military weapons, you won’t be able to reduce the noise completely, but the point is to reduce it to a sufficiently tolerable level, for different dogs.
Petoskey Michigan aye? That’s where I’m from lol
Not Mark Cuban giving a shot-out to his home gurrrrl Emma...
"She looks good for her age" 😼🐩
The dog said everything that needs to be said. They don't want to be forced to wear this crap on their head.
Noise cancellation is not what they need.
Noise reduction would have been better and cheaper .
Dogs need to hear surrounding sounds
@4:13 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Put your dog inside during the 20 min of fireworks
Pretty sure the vibration along with the noise is what freaks dogs out. I don't see this working for my dog at all
stop holding that damn dog like that
Ikr I'm no dog owner but that looked uncomfortable as hell for the dog 😭
Right!
I think the sharks were right on this one.
The drugs are wearing off 😂😂 man I never would of thought she did that
Im about to buy one of these. My dog is terrified of fireworks and gunshots. I love Shark Tank!!
One year
I was looking for my dog until the next day because of New Year’s Eve and fireworks
My dog hid under a car and the neighbor took him in then I thankful had him back
Emma's not only scared of fireworks ✨️🧨🎉 she is also scared of being held in that manner....dangling awkwardly by her ribcage for over a minute during the intro to your pitch!!! SMH. Poor gurrrrrrl 🐶
Mamma needs a pair of those earmuffs🔇🔇 for herself! 😉
05:55 Is Lori calling the Entrepreneur Emma? And why has the dog the same surname as the woman lol (at the beginning)
She cares more about the money. Just keep your dogs in the room and play some music. She's pushing it.
not all of them calling Kirsten Emma :D
For two hundred dollars if rather just bring the dog in the house for the five minutes of fireworks.
I find it hilarious that the inventor's name is Kristen but Lori called her Emma, which is her dog's name. I may be mistaken cause of the editing. Who knows?
