Best Praise
+7 pts
I have a Big Boss (which is apparently halogen versus regular air fryer) and it doesn’t beep. It just sounds like a regular twist up timer dinging. My dog loses her mind at my rice cooker beep. I try to unplug it right before it ends, but it beeps upon start up and she freaks out. She’s gotten better over time and it seems to help if I talk to her during the time I know it’ll beep. I also find just ignoring her seems to help the fear subside quicker too. Good luck!
