Our dogs bark like crazy (actually they bark like normal but we have 4 of them so it sounds crazy) and we got estimates for a privacy fence in excess of $10,000. We decided to use these in the interim. We zip tied them to the outside of our chainlink so the dogs cannot tear them up. It doesn't look tacky at all. We have a large gate and a small gate on one side, so I cut this in order for the gates to still open, then put a lighter up to the parts that I cut. Worked like a charm. Now only the smart one barks because she can hear much better, and also knows where the gaps between the gate and post is in order to see.

We have four dogs of which two will bark at the drop of a hat. We have tried other bark collars in the past, some costing 4 times what these cost. None of them worked, until now. I placed the two collars we purchased on our "barkers" this morning. From the time I put the collars on them we have had almost complete silence! I am truly amazed! Each of them has let out a few barks, but after they bark once and the buzzer on the collar sounds they stop. They have had these on for about 9 hours so far and these have been the most peaceful 9 hours we've spent in years!
I usually will NOT post a review on a product this soon from receiving it. However, I've got to say that so far they work as stated by the manufacturer in their description. An AMAZING product! I will update my review in the future if anything changes or have any problems with the collars. But for now I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these collars to anyone who has a dog with a barking problem.

Well mine hear it for sure. Some times it makes them bark more, I guess from wondering where it is coming from?
I will keep working with them.

Just got this delivered to us, seems nice but it has the most HORRIBLE high pitch noise every time it operates....almost like a dog whistle(ish).  We may send this back unless the sound magically goes away.  iCoffee...is this normal???

Let me say, we have 3 of the brattiest, barkiest dogs who we love dearly. (our fault because we have spoiled them rotten) I was skeptical that this would work on our dogs but I ordered it anyway because of the price and reviews. The very FIRST time we had a guest come through our front door, I said, "sshhh" and pushed the button. All THREE immediately stopped barking!! My daughter and my jaw dropped. Needless to say, my family and a few friends are stunned by the results. We can sit in our backyard without the constant barking. I am shocked by how well this worked.
I was not paid for this review. I am really a very satified customer who will definitely recommend this!

Annoys the neighbors that let their dogs bark continuously.

I bought one of these last year because my Husband works nights and my Cairn Terrier kept him up all day barking.  It works really well except I could hear a quiet high pitched noise whenever it was turned on. Now, a year later, my dear Cairn Terrier is gone and I have a new puppy barking. I misplaced my old Bark-Off so I am purchasing two more as they are half the price I paid last year.

I have two beagles who can be pretty vocal at times, which is a problem since we live in an apartment building with neighbors close by. One dog responds immediately when this comes out. He just has to see it to calm down and will stop making noise. The other dog does not care at all; he continues to bark, squealing each time he gets shocked.

If you have a well behaved dog, he'll probably respond well with this. A stubborn dog won't change his ways just because of a shock or two.

We have a large, six-year-old dog (great pyrenees and coonhound mix), and when she barks it's quite loud.  In the house she can make our ears ring.  We've tried to curb her barking through various means, but nothing seemed to work.

A few weeks ago we got a note from a neighbor asking if we could not let her out so early as she works late nights.  We had been trying to wait until our neighbors went to work, and didn't realize she was waking people up.  She starts barking as soon as she's outside, at nothing in particular.  If we go out with her, she will stop periodically to get a scratch behind the ears, but then it's right back to noise making.

After our recent troubles, we bought the birdhouse but were skeptical.  With mixed reviews we were worried our dog would simply think the new noise was an additional reason to bark.  We were amazed to see how well this worked.  One yip to set it off and she's silent.  Now when we send her out, we have to remember to check for her periodically as she won't even bark to let us know she's ready to come back in.  She just sits silently on the porch.  It may not work for all dogs, but in our case it has been more than worth it.

We have an Australian Shepard/Dachshund mix who barks non-stop when he's outside.  I was afraid of getting noise complaints because he enjoys being outside but is so incredibly noisy.  A friend suggested getting the spray type of collar and it seems to work well.  I'm hoping that he learns and doesn't need it over time, but for the time being when he has it on he's pretty quiet.

Our dog suddenly started barking at all of our neighbors and their kids. She wasn't listening to us when we told her to stop, so we got her this collar. The first time we put it on, the spray was set off by my dog shaking her head. She was so afraid of the collar after that, and we thought we'd have to return it. Every time we would try to put it on her she would run inside with her tail between her legs. Two weeks later we tried again, and it has worked so well. She still likes to be a guard dog but doesn't bark at anyone anymore! This collar worked so well and I love how it's a humane way to discourage barking. Thank you!!

So far its working but it freaks my dog out as well. . Got this because my neighbors dog barks all day long literally.. it still barks but for not as long.

Doesn't seem to deter the neighbor's dogs from barking.  They are small yappy dogs that bark in the middle of the night.  We have the unit close to that fence.  The other neighbor has big dogs and they bark also.  Thank goodness for silicone ear plugs!

We have a 3 year old yorkie, and she has always been a barker.  Tried everything citronella collar, water pistols, shock collar, rewards, and dog whistle.  The whistle worked but we were using all day.  Tried the Sonic birdhouse bark control, installed it on our porch, and after 2 rounds of barking, it has been over a month and she hasn't done it again.  And since it is like a dog whistle we never heard it.  Than she of course barked on everyone on our street, so placed one in the house.  That took only one bark, and she has not done it since.  I highly suggest you try this product, you will be amazed how quickly they learn.  We had 3 years of barking at everything, now we enjoy the quiet.  Plus, our neighbor dog was barking, since it has a 50 yards range, he doesn't bark anymore, bonus!!

This is an amazing collar for excessive barkers. But dogs are dogs and barking is a way to communicate and you've got to allow some freedom to bark. My dog insists that we must be outside for her to run around the yard and to play with her many toys. We can't always be there and a few minutes after being outside... on a perfectly nice day... she will HOWLLLLLLLLL!!! She sits at the back door and howls at us. Obviously we don't want to upset our neighbors, so we bring her in... reinforcing that if she howls, she gets what she wants... to come back inside. This will break that terrible habit. One shock was enough to put the message in her mind. Just seeing the color makes her run to her bed and lay down. I feel bad that she is "scared" of something... but it was effective. I wouldn't suggest wearing this all the time. We do want a dog who will alert to strangers, just not howl as she's staring in the door at us.

I used it pointing it directly at  dog & used the audible & the silent mode, but the dog never stopped barking.  The dog was a lab & OLD.  MAYBE HE had bad hearing?  I tried manny times to get the dog to stop barking, but to no avail. thus I felt it was a wast of my money as the dog never stopped barking.

Unfortunately this had the exact opposite result than we expected. Apparently the sound and sting scared my dog and made him bark until it stopped zapping him. Now he hears the noise when he barks loud (from across the room, because he isn't wearing the collar) and he barks even louder as if to tell the collar to "be quiet"...or maybe it's "I hate you"
