Dog Barking Control Devices 3 Modes Ultrasonic Dog Training and Anti-Barking Device Rechargeable Dog Barking Deterrent Devices,Alternative to Anti bark collar,Barking Silencer Indoor and Outdoor

I have two cats. One is a well-behaved elderly female (Demeter), and the other is a very clever but mischievous 2-year-old (Lucy). I’ve been trying to break Lucy of a few behaviors I *really* don’t want her to continue (including scratching furniture, jumping atop my headboard to reach the chain that maneuvers the 1950s-era heating vent, biting/breaking window blinds, clawing holes in my sheets, etc.). Yelling at her and/or squirting water at her were having very little effect (unless you count teaching her to become more sneaky about misbehaving so she won’t get caught!), and I kept finding evidence indicating she was simply waiting for me to leave the house before doing things she has learned she isn’t allowed to do. Therefore, I began searching for a more reliable and effective way to discipline Lucy that won’t *harm* her in any way way, but which causes enough discomfort and/or surprise that she will stop misbehaving once she feels it. That’s why I ordered this bark controller after I noticed several other cat lovers had posted positive reviews about it.I haven’t even had it for a week, and already it is proving to be a great purchase! As soon as I press the button, Lucy *immediately* stops what she’s doing and runs several feet away; she then gingerly returns to where she was while avoiding doing what caused me to activate the device. It is working so well as a deterrent that I haven’t needed to activate it more than twice for the same prohibited behavior. Therefore, I am very pleased with this item!I think I got lucky because so far Demeter hasn’t seemed to notice it at all. Perhaps she no longer hears as well as Lucy does, although I know she *can* hear because she comes running when I call her (and quite often also when I call Lucy, LOL ... “Hey, jealousy!”). However, this most likely means this product doesn’t work on *all* cats, so keep in mind that if you decide to order this item, it’s possible you’ll want to return it ... but at least it’s very reasonably priced so you don’t need to spend a big chunk of money to try it. The fact that it apparently doesn’t work on *all* cats would probably cause this item to lose one star had I wanted it to work on both my cats, but since it works as *I* need it to, I am *not* deducting anything in my review.All you’ll need to get this “bark controller” (it’s probably more accurate to describe it as a “pet behavior modification tool”) operating right out of the box are four (4) AAA batteries.Negatives: (1) It’s difficult to attach the wrist strap to the device; I actually had to pry apart the two halves of the device from each other in order to do so - but at least I’m confident the strap will remain attached! (2) It’s a little *too* easy to inadvertently push the button and thereby activate the device, so keeping it in a pocket isn’t a good idea. In fact, I have to be careful not to unintentionally activate it while holding it in my hand. I deducted one-half star (or a total of one star altogether) for each of these issues.However, I still recommend trying this device and am giving it a four (4) star rating.Please note: I submitted this review in exchange for a second bark controller (to be sent at no cost to me). However, the promise of a free bark controller did not affect my evaluation or review - other than to cause me to write/post my review sooner than I otherwise might have. 😉

just as I stated in the headline it works for 1 of 3 dogs well and is reminding me the owner how to train her dogs.So it is worth the price as I am serious about the constant barking being stopped.I didn't expect miracles but was surprised when a Mini Doberman Pincer and mini Dachshund did not respond to the 3 modes But as I stated it Reminds me to say no and reward good behavior every time not just when I feel like taking the time. constancy is the key to training

I honestly didn't know if this would work or not, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. Our neighbor's dogs are always out barking at us when we are trying to enjoy our time grilling and we can barely hear each other over them barking. As soon as I heard the dog run over to the fence and start barking, I pushed the button and literally within 2 seconds the dog stopped barking. He paused for a min and barked again and when I pushed the button for a second time he stopped and ran away from the fence which never happens. I was thoroughly impressed and elated that we could finally enjoy our time outside in peace without the barking. I gave it to a co-worker to try who was also skeptical, but after I told her what happened, she was eager to try it on her pugs who won't leave the neighbor's dogs alone when they're out. She tried it as soon as she got home and they too also stopped and moved away from the fence, did their business and went back inside. Her mom's dog however was a different story. Her mom's dog is older and any loud noise in general scares it into having minute long seizures. She said when she turned around after having successfully used it on her dogs, her mom's dog was on its side, having a seizure. It lasted for a minute but then was ok. She won't be using it again since her mother's dog is always around her pugs and she doesn't want it to have another seizure, but she was impressed with what the device could do. I myself have tried it at work to see how it would do on the dogs that bark excessively and it seems to only work on dogs roughly 2yrs to 9yrs. As dogs age, just like people, their hearing changes and they can't hear at certain decibel levels. This doesn't mean that it will only work within these age ranges because each dog is different. I will say to be cautious with the sensitivity that some may have to sound as it may have an adverse affect. You can't personally hear the high pitched noise as when you push the button you can only really hear what sounds like a soft static noise coming through the little speaker, but obviously since a dog's hearing is better than a humans, they can hear the intended noise. Wouldn't hurt to give this device a try and if it doesn't work for your dog, it may work for your neighbor's.

It wasn't what I though I was ordering, but I still like it. It has helped me get my puppy to stop bothering my 18 year old cat. Also, it helps me stop my puppy and 7 year old dog stop fighting over toys. I still don't know how to charge it or completely use it properly, but I will got back and reread the directions.

Used for training dog to stop barking continuously and wouldn't stop.Used device for 1 week,and dog now shuts-up when told to.Would recommend device strongly to anybody.

I bought this product to stop my cockerpoo pup constantly barking every time somebody walked past the window or he heard a strange noise.The first time I tried it he was doing his usual, stood up at the window barking at nothing . I said stop barking .No response.i said quiet.No response. I pressed the button and he instantly stopped barking and looked at me confused. I said quiet again and that was it. His barking has now decrease by 50% . When he does bark at someone walking by I just say Milo quiet and he shuts up .i haven’t needed to press the button.I have now started taking it out on our walks as he tends to try and eat everything from discarded tissues/wipes crisp packets etc.etc..Again I say leave he ignores me . I say drop it he chews faster. I try to take it off him and he runs around with it in his mouth with a proud look on his face because I can’t catch him.I tried pressed the button when he wouldn’t drop a plastic bottle and he instantly dropped it . Going for a walk now is so less stressful I don’t have to use the device anymore .just show let Milo know that I have it when out on walks and 9 times out of 10 he doesn’t pick random items up , just glances at them and carries on. If I do have to say leave or drop it he leaves or drops.Unfortunately it doesn’t work with water though. If he sees a pond ,brook,puddle or lake there is no stopping him and he comes back soaked.Update3 years later .I haven’t used this for over a year as he is now a chilled out perfect pouch.The only problem is he is terrified of anything that beeps .In the kitchen he hates the microwave. Induction hob and anything else that beeps he cowers away to his bed . Even delivery trucks reversing scare him . I am now trying to reverse this by treating him every time he hears a beep. 🙄

My dog barks. A lot. He barks at people, animals, inanimate objects, the door bell. For the past year he's taken to barking when my phone rings and will not stop until I end the call. As I'm hard of hearing my phone conversations are difficult to say the least.I came upon this product by accident and decided to give it a go.It arrived a day or so ago and I waited for a phone call. As soon as he started to bark I pressed the button to activate the device. Instant, and I mean instant, cessation of barking. That's it. Used it once and once only. Now if he looks as if he's building up to a barking session, I pick the device up and let him see it. He just lies down at my feet and dozes. Reward him in whichever way you see fit.For me and my dog this product works brilliantly. Whether that's the case with all dogs, who knows? It's working for me and selfishly that's all that matters.Funnily enough although the frequency of the sound emitted is beyond human hearing, when you are wearing hearing aids that doesn't apply.

I have two dogs, both Terriers and with Terrier traits, i.e., if you can, bark at it. The only thing I can see this doing is lighting up for ten seconds, the dogs both completely ignore it. As I do not have the range of hearing of my dogs, I can't confirm whether it is actually producing a sound at all, if it is, it doesn't stop them barking for one moment. I feel I have wasted my money.

This actually seems to be working. We have a greyhound which since it has came into season has had a personality transplant and has went from being really quiet to continually barking, whether it has been walked, fed, brushed. It just wants to bark. Opening the window in our bedroom when it barks and zapping has definitely quietened it a lot. Not exactly stopped it but it has Made a difference.
