The neighbors were becoming annoyed and called the dog warden

I had a problem with one of my dogs excessively barking. The neighbors were becoming annoyed and called the dog warden, so I was warned I would get ticketed next time he had a complaint. I didn't here my dog barking so much because I was at work or sleeping with an air conditioner on. I tried a bark collar with prongs that zapped when she barked. It was horrible, she cried every time she was zapped and it didn't stop the barking completely. Also the prongs started to give her a sore on her neck so I had to take it off. So I got another visit from the dog warden. I found this collar ordered it and have been using it. I can't believe how good it works. She has not made a peep since I put it on and I don't have to worry about her neck getting a sore because no prongs yay. I'm definitely going to get another for my inside dog.

Two of our dogs feel that our neighbor's shouldn't be allowed to enjoy their backyard, and bark like crazy whenever the neighbors are outside. I bought the Bark Genie after seeing how my sister's dog stopped barking when she used it, and I am absolutely amazed at how effective it has been. Our dogs are restless barkers and drive the neighbors (and us) nuts! But one or two presses of the Bark Genie button and a firm "NO" is enough to make them stop. I am certain that with consistent use our dogs will finally get the message and stop barking at the neighbors!!

had this shipped overnight to shut up the new neighbor's dogs who are left outside all day and night to bark and annoy the neighborhood while i work from home. the pit bull learned quickly that barking was not a good idea, but the chihuahua is still yipping away. maybe it's just a dumber breed, but it would be nice if this worked for all dogs. tiny and inconspicuous. fits in the dwarf bushes on our fenceline

When we let our dog out in the early morning/late evening for the bathroom, she'd often start parking at wild animals and neighborhood cats.  We fitted the collar, she half barked once and has never done it again. I can now let her out without fear of upsetting our neighbors.

the dogs started barking at the neighbor as usual. but within a couple of minutes they stopped and just chilled out. no barking at all. I only leave it on when we go outside. I do not have doggy door , so the dogs are only out when I let them out. I have been using it for only a week and  I recommend it. My neighbor is happy too.

This worked too well and frightened our dog. He stopped barking at my neighbor but was terrified to go outside and hid in the house for a couple of weeks until we could convince him to come back out.

At first it got my dog's attention - excessive barking at the dog but then they ignored it.  Not sure if it isn't loud enough or what

I have a dog that didn't respect the property lines.....not any more!.  Dog adapted immediately, on only level three, (level one is beep only).  Both dogs "cured".

We have 3 dogs next door that bark like it's going out of style. We thought this may do the trick, but nope. We hung it on the fence right in front of them and it didn't phase them.

Neighbor's dog ignored it.  Light rain destroyed it.

I had high hopes that this product would solve the noise problems from my dog, but what it did was stop the barking and create an even worse whimpering problem. The challenge is the collar does assist in curbing the barking tendancy, however it does NOT go off when the dog whimpers or howls. Our dog has figured this out and now whimpers and howls more than he ever barked. Although this was a reasonable cost for a potential solution, I recommend spending more for a collar with a remote where you have control over curbing bad behaviors.

Seemed to work when we first used the Birdhouse, we were happy.  Over time the dog from Hell next door seems used to it and still barks more than ever.  Sorry

Can't say I didn't like it, but dogs definitely did not.  The mellow dog started a rebellious fit.  The feisty dog was not phased by it.  The collar for the 30 lb. dog did not fit correctly and the second layer of the collar could not be put in the holder.  The large dog who I was trying to break from pulling broke the plastic collar holders.

i'm really sorry to tell you guys that you have to move. the humane society won't do anything, hoa won't do anything, police won't do anything, and if the neighbor wasn't a complete jackknife then they wouldn't have a barking dog 24/7. So yeah, move to the hills, buy land and have no neighbors that's your only option. Because between this and the other 1000 cheap products i've tried there is not hope...sorry.

I have been using the device for about 1 week. I have 2 backyard neighbors with 1 large and 1 medium size dogs. They will meet at the fence between them and bark at each other for 30 minutes at a time.  It seems that the time they bark has diminished.  I will know more as time goes on.

I think the door for the dogs should be a different color or shade off from the glass. It seems to confuse them of where the entry is.

I don't believe this device worked because, all though loud, the barks were muffled and distorted by the couple of fences in-between me and my neighbor. After reading the other reviews on this item I believe that others are saying is correct, that it needs to be a deep and prominent bark in order for it to disperse the noise which agitates the dogs. I have a feeling the such a sophisticated microphone needed to pick up the dogs bark from a neighbors yard or two away would be far from this price range. It seemed to semi-work with my girlfriends husky, but it was more of an annoyance he seemed to dismiss after the first few activations. I don't know if I would recommend this to others, maybe they would have better luck! If you found this review helpful, please select the yes button below this review!
