Does the ultrasonic sound bother pets? I'm concerned it will bother my small dog.

No. I have 2 dogs: one small and one medium size, and neither one notices when the machine is on.

my Italian greyhound is pretty petite and it works great on him. I admit tho its a little bulky under his neck. We just use it for car rides etc...not daily around the house as then I think it would be kind of a nuisance to him...but it does the trick...he only got sprayed the first 3-4 times of use and never been sprayed since he knows that if its on he doesn't bark...its calming actually bc I think in general hes a nervous Nellie and I wondered how he'd respond...it calms his over reaction of barks (fast food drive thrus, picking up kids at busstops etc) he doesn't even bark (but he does excitedly go to the window of the car and etc so it doesn't make him sit subdued and shameful at all) my Italian greyhound is pretty petite and it works great on him.

I have a cat and a dog and I cam tell you... the sound of the machine is very loud... so loud that my cat ran like crazy the moment I star the vacuum... so if your cat or dog is nervous or noise sensitive I dont recomend it :( sorry... but it is very loud

I have two Yorkies, and they pay no attention to the noise, but your dog could be different. Just remember you could try it and send back if too annoying. In my book nothing is more annoying that gophers destroying your landscaping!

Absolutely Not... In fact one of my dogs is a 10 lb, but very thin, Chihuahua/terrier mix and he responds to the vibration immediately. It's a good vibration, but so harmless. I do not even use the shock mode. I hesitate to use it. I haven't even had to try it on either of my two dogs. My other dog is a Toy Manchester Terrier, 13 lbs and also responds to the vibration mode. I am very happy after purchasing at least 5 other (89.00 dollar and up) units for each of my pets - I have 3 dogs. This is my favorite unit. :)

The beep is not loud for the human ear, but my dog can definitely hear it. I had the same reservation, but after initial training my hardheaded dog turns around immediately when he hears the warning sound from the collar.

It will if you point it in their direction. It's not suppose to be harmful to the animal, but they don't like the sound.

hold it on your hand while turning it on and move it a bit. It feels like a static shock. I'm sure you've felt that before. Your dog will certainly NOT like it, but that's the point and it's not harmful.

no I have not used this comb on my dog. It does emit a low sound I don't know if this would bother a pet or not

I dont think it is loud enough to disturb your neighbors, but it might annoy your dog if you have one.. :-)

Yes, there are two settings, ultrasonic and the one that humans can hear, we don't use ultrasonic so we know that it's working. There is also a sensitivity setting. This has helped tremendously for two out of three of our dogs. Two no longer bark when it goes off and one at first stopped barking, but now barks through it, but only for dogs walking by, before it was anything and everything that would go past the house. We also created a make shift container, (5 gallon bucket on its side) and attached it to the fence and set the product inside to protect it from rain.

Possibly. This is an ultrasonic device so it will depend upon if your dog is responsive to the noise.

the thinner one is a little louder but if the dog is calmed, normally shouldn't be a problem. As a groomer in some cases, dogs are ok with it and for some other ones I just rather use the bigger one which doesn't scare them. Overall I find them both useful.

When I get really close to our dog, I can hear a slight sound, it does not mean it is faulty.

no, there is an option to shock without sound, or make it beep without shocking the dog... but there is no vibration, though i have actually tested this on myself and the really low levels would barely be felt and might be just enough to get their attention without actually causing discomfort...

I don't have this experience, but this equipment doesn't repel cats and dogs on my yard by using ultrasonic with low volume of sonic.

Arika, I have had my Ultrasonic Bark Deterrent about 3 weeks now, and it began to work immediately for my female (mid sized dog/Australian Shepherd). I believe it would help with the whining based on placement of the device. My neighbors have smaller dogs (Yorki sized), have purchased the same unit as they have seen the results from my purchase, and they simply have the device lower to the dogs, as their yips are not as loud as my dogs' barks were, and they have been 100% pleased with their results as well. I hope this information has been helpful to you.
