If I place this device in my attic, will it affect my dog? I have a labrador/whippet mix.

We used this model in our toy hauler rv. Our dogs- 2 labs- sleep in the "garage" section right next to this unit and it doesn't seem to affect them at all. Hope that helps. Not sure why the other respondent says it WILL affect your dog- too bad they didn't give any details.

You can test it. May be is the battery. With my dogs, some of them get used to the shock, and don't stop barking.

I don't know the answer, but I have two dogs, and this device only affects one of my two dogs, both floppy ears, both labs. One is affected by it, and one not at all. I bought a bark collar for the one that is not affected. that is working perfectly!

I have 2 dog's that have access to my whole house also. I run my unit on low (both controls), and have not had any problems with either of my dogs. My house smells so fresh, even on the low setting. I was told by my dog groomer that it would be best to run it on that setting (low). I plan on putting it in my basement also, but will put it on a higher setting down there as they don't have access.

I have a dog and my dog does not have a clue the unit is on and working next to her. So no impact for dogs. For your situation, all I would suggest you test the unit with one chicken around you and see if she reacts. If it doesn't bother her, she would behave normally and then you could install it. The unit will work in the coop or nearby just fine. Good luck.

I'm not sure-depends on how sensitive your dog is and how close she is to you. My Lab can hear it through the walls and across the yard and will run to her dog house.

yes it will contain your dogs. make sure to ground it good, buy a ground rod and use half of it. i would run two wires around your yard, one high, one low, the charger can easily handle it. buy a cheap fence tester, and after all hooked up, touch it so you will know exactly what your leaving plugged in, in your back yard! most important is that nothing touches the fence, grass, weeds, limbs.

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.

I think you may have a problem. The unit itself is a small box about 2" x about 1.5" with the spray nozzles sort of in the middle of the short end. They need free space to spray out. If your dog's hair is longer than that, and thick, you might have a problem. Alternatively, it does spray pretty powerfully, so perhaps the odor and the wet fur will be enough for your dog to detect it and respond accordingly. :-)

I am not able to answer that question regarding a pet. We placed our sensor above a door. The sensor still pick of movement from the door. So, I would assume, that a large pet might also activate the sensor.

I believe that it will. Mine works great. I did put it in the attic which is where I was having a squirrel problem, though. They're gone but I am afraid to remove it because I don't want them coming back. Good Luck!

It will definitely work! You can reshape it anyway you want to. I have it in the garage and my Boston terrier has plenty of room.

we had ours in our garage, so inside will work. You have to hook up wires to it, so the wires have to come inside. This unit should only be used on a timid dog and even then you do not know if it will work until you try it. Unless they have changed this system, the collars to this unit are not adjustable in sensitivity and strength level and our dogs were constantly going thru it. We ended up buying a different system by PetSafe. All PetSafe collars work together so if one collar doesn't work well on your dog another collar will. They all hook up the same way and can be put inside the house or garage. we had ours in our garage, so inside will work. You have to hook up wires to it, so the wires have to come inside.

No pets should be affected at all. My cat pays no attention to the device at all. Friends of mine with dogs say the same. These devices have no affects on the animals at all. Hope this answers your question and helps you.

mine either; but a bark collar w/ an adjustable dial (mine is a Dogtra Yapper Stopper YS500 @ Cabelas) - So the collar did not work for long with my Whippet, but the PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Control Birdhouse did the trick after years of different collars.

We have shepherds and this unit didn't affect our dogs at all. However, all dogs are different and it may work for your dog/dogs. Good luck.

Flea trap didn't work for me...I liked the Mycodex Plus Environmental Control 16oz for my dog kennel and couches. Might work for you.
