New 2023 Bark Box Anti Barking Device and Neighbors Dog Silencer 50 Ft - 3 Levels Bark Box Anti Bark Device, Stop Barking Dog Devices. Ultrasonic Dog Bark ... but on Amazon it only has 2.3 of 5 stars.
Had a neighbor across the street that couldn't sleep at night because a chained out dog near her property line would bark throughout the night. A big dog too.
So I bought one of those Anti Bark Devices and rechargeable 9volt batteries to give it a try.
The vendor says the device is good for up to 50ft but I find that doubtful. I tied the device to a tree about 12-15ft from the chained out dog and pointed right at it. The dog owners never knew or had a clue what was going on.
The device activates a high pitched piercing sound in response to noise ... such as a dog barking. And the high pitched piercing sound is beyond human hearing range. The dog can hear it though and it isn't a pleasant sound to them.
It only briefly activates when the dog barks and is otherwise silent ... if no barking or traffic noise and such nearby.
It takes patience. The dog should learn not to bark for no reason. Learns not to bark for no reason because each time it does, that high pitched annoying piercing sound screams at the dog.
Nuisance barking should slowly subside over the course of several weeks ... about a month, as the dog learns not to nuisance bark. After a month to six weeks, it will be about as good as it gets. The dog may need refresher training thereafter from time to time.
It works (when it works) for nuisance barking but the dog with pay the sound little to no attention if barking at intruders or something genetically predisposed to alert to or instinct barking.
So with the right situation and dog, the Dog Silencer could be effective. It was for my neighbor across the street and the chained out dog. The barking didn't ever stop entirely but nuisance barking greatly diminished.
And the best part was the lady across the street didn't have to do anything, the dog trained itself, or involve the dog owners at all. They are not nice people.
Honestly I can't broadly recommend the device. Only works in specific situations ... and with some dogs willing to learn not to nuisance bark.
Had to change 9volt battery in the device every 1-2 weeks. Wanted a fresh battery in there at all times and rechargeable 9volt pack fit the bill for battery change out rotation.
