PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Control Deterrent

My neighbor had a roommate move in 8 months ago. She brought 2 midsize dogs with her. One quiet, one barking (and barking and barking...). My husband and I gave the dog 6 months months to get used to the new home and surroundings without saying a word. Finally I had an opportunity to talk to the home owner. (The roommate muttered in the background behind a bush, "get some earplugs!") After speaking to the homeowner 2 more times, and them moving the dog to different places on the property, I bought this Bark Control Deterrent and installed it near the edge of our property. The dog barked and stopped. Barked and stopped. YAY!! I believe this is working! The next day, they found a new home for My neighbor had a roommate move in 8 months ago.

My neighbor is the dog catcher, lucky me. I admit my one year old Boxer has become a barking idiot. I bought one of these and the change was IMMEDIATE. This is a great option for two reasons. Buying individual collars for each dog would be cost-prohibitive. My dogs love to wrestle and chew collars off of each other. My dogs still bark, but it is manageable now. I bought two more to cover more of my backyard. This would get 5 stars if the batteries last longer. However, they on take one 9V, so not real expensive.

So, I don't have a dog, but the neighbors have two. There have been a few times at night when I feel I may give the doggos extra treats or bang on the neighbors doors and have the dogs placed into a better home (which I know they aren't being neglected or I would). Through no fault of their own, the doggos bark all night long and at every possible thing that comes near the fence (i.e. possums, armadillos, cats, trees blowing in the winds, etc, etc.). Imaging my suprise when I went to a friend's house and she had this magical devise she was using to train her doggos not to bark at the neighborhood kids. SILENT BLISS IN A NON-HARMFUL TO DOGGOS WAY!

So, I immediately purchased one for my neighbor doggos. They have been an absolute blessing since then. Every time I open my bathroom window to turn on the deterrent, they automatically quiet down. I'm convinced that I've gotten them trained enough that just the sound of me opening the window is enough. Hopefully, a few more weeks of this training will be enough to keep them from keeping the neighborhood awake at night. I absolutely recommend this product as it has helped me train doggos that aren't even mine. … more

My neighbors dogs bark and dig at the wooden fence trying to get to my dogs. It starts as soon as they hear my back door open or if they hear me come through the back gate. They at times will even fight each other and it sounds horrible. My dogs ignore them and don’t even bark back however I worried what would happen if they get that old fence to snap. I saw this one day on chewy and thought I will try it what do I have to lose. Tonight when those dogs started their nonsense it didn’t last long. A couple of barks and away from the fence they went. Came back for another bark and then ran away. I am thankful this worked and look forward to peace in my back yard.

I have a heeler, a pit mix and a schnauzer mix. I put it out near a fence as instructed and my dogs stopped barking outside in under 5 minutes. The heeler is a little timid to go near that fence so we had to work with him to see that it's ok as long as there's no barking. It's so peaceful now and I don't have to worry about my neighbors being annoyed.

My dog barks constantly, needless to say enjoying the outdoors is not happening! I have multiple dogs on both sides of me. I put a battery in and no barking! The neighbors dog barked twice, usually they bark as soon as I open my door and don't stop! Don't care if I have to replace batteries often, it's worth every penny!

The jury is still out whether this works or not. The instructions indicate that it might take 2 weeks to "train" the animals to the noise. Our Bark Deterrent has been installed just over a week. Initially, I thought I noticed a change in the bark of our neighbors' crazy german shepherds. The dogs nearly lose their minds when the owners are outside tending the chickens; and the dogs can't get to the chickens. The owners seem oblivious. We're still hopeful that the Bark Control Deterrent will make a difference.

This product worked for my mini aussie who has an ear piercing high pitch bark who would run out the door barking at literally nothing every time you let her out. We put it in a tree and it works. She is smart so after a few days she already learned and acceptable vocal volume to not set it off which is fine by me(grumbles and low barks). My only complaint is that it seems like any loud noise too close to the thing sets it off too which I worry will confuse her/unwarrantedly punish her. We had it on a nearby patio table originally and while talking loud about 4 ft away I set it off with my voice, when I put it down on the table too hard, and when I shut the sliding glass too hard with it in This product worked for my mini aussie who has an ear piercing high pitch bark who would run out the door barking at literally nothing every time you let her out.

I recommend you make sure you set the device away from regular loud noises and turn it off if your doing loud things near by. E.g. mowing the lawn. … more

Don't waste your money. I bought 4 of these & my dogs continue to bark as much as before. We have German Shepherds & Coonhounds. Ages range from 9 months to 10 years. Different breeds & different ages so I know it's not the dogs with hearing problems. Bottom line. They don't work.

We have a 10 month old that started barking at everything. We tried all the tips and training we could find to no avail. First time I turned this on she instantly stopped barking. Couldn't be happier:)
