does it work for howlig? My neighbors have four dogs and we live not too far from a hospital. Sirens get one howling and then they all join in along with other dogs in the area. Thank you for your input

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.

Unfortunately, this particular product did not work for me. I think it may have been defective. I also bought the First Alert Bark Genie Automatic control device and it did work, at first. I should warn you that once my dog got used to the device- the product lost it mojo.

As of 4.10.2014 there has not been an answer that tells me how well these preform on their dogs. If I had used one on my wife we may have been able to avoid our sad divorce, lol. I have a service (Hearing-ear) dog that barks to signal me, but sometimes she does not stop when I want her to. I owe this dog my life and do not want to harm or frigten her, but there are times when I would like to have her stop barking when I want her to.

I am not sure of the answer. Mine seems to pick up the deep bark of a big dog, but even with fairly high sensitivity doesn't pick up the yap of a little dog. Same with the results---it seems to work on the bigger dog, but not the little dog next door....Maybe some dogs are stupid and don't equate the dog silencer noise with the barking? Overall, it seems like it has some effect on the neighbor's dogs since they tend to go to the other side of their house to bark more often!

sorry,cant rally comment as i dont have any dogs next door,but it does seem to have made a difference with my dogs,the secret is to turn it on at lots of different times,when your in as well as when your out so they never no when it's on

he/she wouldn't like it and there are better things on the market to correct excessive barking. This unit "repels" an animal .. you surely don't want your pet to run from you when they bark. I'd suggest a "shock" collar or something like that. Shock collars are more expensive but invaluable tools. Don't buy expensive though as using a shock collar once or twice is all you need. Good luck.

It will help with howling but not whining/wimpering. If the dog is more than 30 to 40 feet away from the unit, it might not work. If nothing else, the dog will probably avoid that area but still bark on the other side of the yard.

Hi Patsy, About 4years ago I had purchased one and it worked fine. Animals would squeal when they came within the sensor. I have just purchased 2 new ones and they do not work like the first one. The light comes on as you say, but the animals don't even notice. I recommend you return them. They don't work. I have tried having them closer together. I have monitored at night time when the racoons and skunks come. I don`t know what the problem is. I have tried varies things to see if it would make a difference, but no change. Send them back, the company should know that they do not work. There is no volume control to adjust the volume to see if that would make a difference. Mine are going back too. I am sorry if I misled you. I am disappointed with them. I hope you can find something that works. I`m trying to find something as well. Joan

It didn't work for me either. Neither of my dogs heard it. One is a puppy and one is an older dog.

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.

My daughter swares by it. She has 3 Chihuahuas. I bought it & had to hide it from my husband who began using the sound as entertainment! I hate the thing! It scared my dogs. So yes, I would say it works. Just no for me :-( . Good luck!

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, it will only work with a bark. I would recommend a remote control collar. We purchased one for around $50 that allows us to use a remote to activate a loud tone, a rattle, or a small shock. I think that would work better for whining. Good luck!!

Sorry, not sure what your question is. But if you want to use that to get your neighbors dog to stop barking, I really do not think it will work. It barely worked while less than a foot away from my dog's ears. At some point, they became immune to it and we went with a different option. But the option we went with requires a collar, and spray into the dogs face area of citronella smell. Works wonders!! I hope I answered your question, if not please let me know and I will respond.

My husband used this on a neighbors large dog that was always barking and it really worked. Your dog will probably hear it. Make sure you follow the directions and use at a safe distance from either dog. It MUST be used according to the distance the instructions provide. We used it on our barking small breed puppy so she would not disturb our neighbors during her 6AM walk. and at first it worked great, but then she did not react at all. Seems to work on some dogs, and it is impossible to determine which ones without buying the device and trying it.

It worked for my cat who would wake me up at 4am...I put on floor by my bedroom door...I think it's the sound that scares them...it works great on my dog too, who would come in room and bother us if there were thunderstorms... The product says you can get like 200 sprays out of a can...I don't believe that, the can was empty within a week...I reordered more ...these has last longer but my animals won't go near room now just by them seeing it on the floor so its not spraying as much...my own leg sets it off more than the animals..lol..I have gotten good at high steppen around/over it...hope this helps you!!

Ours never worked for the neighbor dog ! It cost. 48.00 and the dog continues to bark. We even moved it from our yard across the street to the bushes next to the dogs porch still barks
