PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Control Deterrent

We have 3 dogs and so do our neighbors, they always fuss at each other. I hung this on the fence between the houses, and when it went off the first time all 6 bolted inside. So now for the bad part, one of mine seems to be super sensitive to the tone, and after it being up for 2 days and enjoying the silence, he crapped inside because he was afraid to go out the dog door. Been off for a week and all back to normal, barking included. Not a mixed bag at all, product works as prescribed and works well!

My dog had a frequent habit of barking non-stop in front of the doggie door instead of just coming in when he wanted to get attention no matter what time of the day or night(even though he's gone through hundreds of times without a problem and watched our other dogs go through just fine). We tried all the suggestions of trainers to stop the behavior but nothing worked until a friend suggested the Ultrasonic Bark Control Deterrent. It took 2 episodes with the unit and the problem is solved. No more drama and no trauma to the dog.

It works. Kind of. I have 1 dog and my roommate has 3 dogs. Their near constant barking drives me utterly insane so I bought this for the yard. It worked on 1 dog just fine. 2 of the dogs seemed unaffected and kept barking away. The 4th dog became TERRIFIED of the yard in the course of 1 day. (Probably because the 2 dogs that kept barking set if off constantly.) It took her 3 days to calm down and go back outside after turning this off. Had all the dogs been effected by it, this no doubt would have worked great. I'm keeping it in case it can be useful down the line when housing and animal counts change.

I have mixed feelings about this product. To be fair, we used in inside our condo and it is meant to be used outdoors. It worked immediately and for a few days after, we had absolutely no barking. However, the dogs got used to the sound after that and no longer kept them from barking. So it can be very effective but just really depends on the dog. Have to keep in mind that we were using it with 2 dogs as well so if one kept barking, the other had to hear the sonic beeping too. So hard to train then both that way.

Have had problems with my dogs barking along a shared fence line - Akita and Golden Retriever - obnoxious for my neighbor who is trying to sell her house and has realtors coming and going. Once I figured out where to place the birdhouse it worked amazingly! It is important to place the birdhouse about dog level or just slightly above their height and face the birdhouse in the direction that the dogs would be barking towards - I hung it on the fence facing my house - it has completely fixed the problem - inexpensive and worked like a charm - I turned it to the highest setting right off the bat. I am considering getting one for every area of my front yard and hanging them at various intervals Have had problems with my dogs barking along a shared fence line - Akita and Golden Retriever - obnoxious for my neighbor who is trying to sell her house and has realtors coming and going.

This review is only after one day but I noticed that it immediately made a difference. My German Shepherd barks at just about anything and loves to have a bark war with the 2 pit bulls across the way. I purposely led him near them to get them to start barking and immediately my GSD stopped after the first bark, so far I haven’t heard any barking throughout the day.

Started at the lowest setting and work my way to the highest. Yes, I tested to see if it was working, I did get a green light. Then I put it on all the levels and I made a barking sound and a red light appeared. When the dog barked a red light appeared but the dog wasn’t phase by it at all.

I am so grateful for this product. There is a pack of dogs that live next door and they have barked constantly for years. Recently we adopted a shelter dog who is afraid of them. So their barking caused him to bark and attack our chain link fence. I thought-- we will never be able to enjoy our backyard again. This is such an uphill battle since I can't control the other dogs. And then I found the PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Control Deterrent. It took me maybe ten minutes to put the battery in and find a branch to hang it on. I pointed it at our fence to prevent the dogs from barking. And it worked! After a day or two the dogs don't even come over to the fence. We have peace again.

My boxer hound loves to bark at everything outside and no matter where this was placed it had little to no effect. After about a 2 week it stopped working at all,changed out battery and still no lights . Still searching for a solution since this didn't work and wasted my money

I have a pom that feels he needs to bark at everything, even at 5am. So instead of a bark collar I purchased this in hopes that it would eliminate some of the barking and to my surprise it works wonderfully. Now Carl growls, grunts and barks quietly.
