No , unfortunately it didn't stop my dog from barking , it seemed like it did the very first 2 days , but then he was back to barking

Hi Dana. If you only have one dog I would say it probably would work. But as we have three dogs, they shake their heads and sense its there but one drowns out the other when barking so is ineffective for us.

It worked for my friends dogs, but not ours. I can tell it works, he tilts his head and kind of looks around, but then keeps barking.

Unit works with my two larger dogs (boxers) within 10 feet. However it has no effect on our Morkie. We use this near the front door to help quite the dogs when visitors come. This is our second unit, first one was destroyed by a kid and we felt it worked enough to warrant a replacement. Good Luck.

It seems it really depends on how sensitive your dog is to sound, and it's reason for barking in the first place. I bought ours when we brought a new dog into the home and she had separation anxiety. We only needed to use the unit a few times before she stopped barking. Whether the cessation came from using the unit or from her settling in, is hard to say. But when the unit was turned on and she barked, the response was immediate and obvious.

My neghibors have stated that the barking has been reduced by a large margin and after a few months rarely barks anymore so yes I believe the product works.

It stopped MY dog from barking. He is a 5 year old male Shih Tzu. I read the reviews before I purchased and the results were mixed. I figured I had nothing to lose because the item was returnable. It paid off. No more barking. I don't even turn the thing on anymore. My only caution is that the wires connecting to the battery are thin and can tear off if you handle it rough when putting in or taking out the 9v battery. Handle it gently.

to coin a phrase, "nope"...if ANYTHING it provides added stimulation to the pups energy in their barking cycle.

This is not automatic anti-bark but petsafe does make one of those. I don't like the automatic one because it is TOO sensitive and will spray citronella if my dog growls or whines.

I don't think so, my dogs howl but has to be a very specific sound, not necessarily sirens. My husband thinks it is working because they are barking less but I don't think it works, light keeps flashing red/green constantly, so might be defective. Some people however swear by it.

Dear Efrain. it only works wwith bartteries. I do not recommend, because it doesn't perform as announced. The dogs don't stop barking, when they hear the pitch they bark louder.

It actually isn't made for dog barking but for pet containment. It can't sense the pet barking only when and if it gets close to the wire barrier then gives a correction.

I'm not sure. All I know is it only took 3 times and my dog stopped barking at other dogs when we went on a walk.

It may help some, but I would not say it would eliminate all the sound. It seems like the dog is lonely, and the owner should be responsible for annoying you.

Mine stopped my dog from barking in a few days and haven't needed to use it anymore. I have loaned it to several friends with similar results

I bought this to stop my next door neighbors dogs from barking and it seems to work. When they start barking I just walk over to the fence and raise my arm up over the fence and push the button and they stop barking. So it may work for you but I guess it depends on the dog etc. on how well.

In my experience no, it doesn't work if they bark a lot, whine a lot, or otherwise make noise.

It isn't supposed to be a training aide for barking. It is a tool to show your dog he/she doesn't listen to a command, it will be corrected without you directly correcting and scaring the dog with your hand etc.. Which would make the dog frightened of you. This training tool must be properly introduced to the dog to work. There are instructions in the pamphlet it comes with. Good luck

I would say yes. I purchased this for the reason that my dogs like to bark. Once they hear the beep they stop. Same with getting into my flowers. They hear the beep and they get out. I would recommend this product

Some dogs learn not to bark. Our dog is a difficult dog and didn't learn to stop barking. We use it when he goes outside so he won't disturb the neighbors with his barking. We use it inside when we need to take a nap or at nightime or when we don't want to hear him barking. Overall, it solved a huge problem we were having. Our dog was driving our neighbors crazy with his barking and it was causing us a lot of stress. This device doesn't hurt the dog.

It makes some noise but not loud compared to others I have tried. I use it on three different dogs and the noise doesn't scare them.

hi, I don't remember seeing this... *But be warned of the possibilities of it not working :( We have a dog that lives next door that makes us so miserable with his barking.... Every time the dog barked .... I also heard a HIGH PITCHED sound inside the house that was killing my ears!

I'm sorry I never had a chance to use it. I started calling the police every night since the first of this year because of the noise,(they didn't seem to be doing anything) so I ordered the bark control just in case the police didn't correct the situation. They did & I gave it away to my brother. He was dealing with 3 barking dogs. 2 dogs stop barking, 1 still barks, sister in law thinks it's deaf. My neighbor no longer has the dog & we are enjoying peace and quiet after 2 years of nonstop barking. Good luck to you.

No this gadget doesn't even work on my dogs, they bark right over the very highest setting, it bothers me more than them, don't waste your money! I ended up buying citronella spray collars. It sprays the dog's nose when they bark, works like a charm. I don' even have to turn it on to spray anymore, they just wear the collar and I have complete silence. This of course does not help you with your neighbor's dogs, but you might suggest he/she or you gets one for them, because it's gentle and they learn super fast...
