Would these be suitable for everyday use around a dog who barks in an enclosed space?

Yes. Honestly though the cheap foam ones seem to be the best. These ones do work better for daily use as the don't make things as muffled and let sound in.

I would think so. You can still hear with them in but they seem to block out the very loud stuff that can damage your hearing. I use them around loud music and sometimes while working as a bus aide with really loud children. I also like the container they come in. You can put it on your key ring and then always have them with you.

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.

They do a great job at an indoor firing range, so I'm sure they would work for general noise. However, they are bulky - have you tried the foam ear plugs? If this is what you are looking for, these would be a great choice

Sorry I don't know. I use mine outside but without much luck with the barking but I think that it has helped with the howling issue.

i would think they'd do the trick for you. they don't block out everything, but definitely take the "hard edges" off sound. i work in a very noisy office, and since using these, nobody is in danger of getting smacked anymore <grin>

Yes most definitely. They block out barking dogs, so they'll help with noisy dorms. I've used them in foreign countries where my hotel room overlooked busy train stops and noisy walkways and have been very impressed with their effectiveness. The nice aspect about these is that they generate white noise, which is very effective at blocking noise.

I said no, as I do not have a dog who barks constantly. I would go to his website and read the FAQ's, I believe he addresses the issue

You may want to try looking up the Db rating of these specific tools and comparing them to the average firearm. I'd say if they come close to a firearm, but being constantly on, these may not be enough protection. They work well for a gunshot here and there, but if I were going to shoot a fully automatic weapon, knowing how well mine work, I'd probably put earplugs in first. I agree with the other answer as well, in that you'd need earplugs for indoor shooting.Personally, from my experience in a workshop environment, I think they'd work just fine.

The dogs WILL hear it and, as in my neighborhood, they will probably bark more. You can buy things that will bother their they're ears (not permanently just while they are barking). Look up NO BARK PRODUCTS. GOOD LUCK

I wouldn't. It's not 100% when kept inside out of the elements. I've placed mine inside adjacent to my back door. I live next to a busy street & can hear the barking, when the volume is turned all the way up. I still like the product & use it every time I leave town. Hope this helps!

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.

I don't think so, however, I would ask your local Vet. He/she could tell you how sensitive their eardrums are.

Could be used for indoor use but don't know if the sensitivity used for outside would set the sound off too often.

I train dogs for a living. If any of the dogs in the house has very sensitive personalities it may be to much. If they are not sensitive at all it may not work because they may not be sensitive enough to care about the sound. What every you use has to be more important to stop then why they are barking in the first place. I hope this helps

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

Yes i think they would provide adequate hearing protection. But, the product is not the most durable, i suspect they will eventually break.
