[@ShieldMaiden452]

So I mean, these things work to a degree. You really have to take into consideration a dogs breed and training. All dogs can hear it, but many dogs with a high prey drive can ignore it and keep on barking due to that breeds drives and tenacity. Terriers small and large, or other small and large breeds meant for hunting vermin etc have a high drive. They work for many instances but you also have to train your dogs, and fence fighting between neighbor dogs is a normal thing, so you have to trouble shoot more then just the barking issue and it comes with training your dogs.

[@vladimirkraus1438]

People like this are what make people hate dogs. Such a shame to be so irresponsible. And NO, the bark boxes do NOT work. We tried that cheap little bird house box, complete scam. Then we bought a 130,00 model, didn't change anything either. What we had was a guy move in with 3 Shepherds and a pug. One dog over the legal limit for our area. Animal control did nothing until the dogs started escaping their yard and invading neighboring yards. They came and confiscated one dog (stupid) because all 3 were escaping and all 3 were chronic barkers. The solution is to hold responsible, the lazy person that took home the dog/dogs and terrorized their neighbors. Because our neighbor was afraid they would eventually take his other dogs, he took them to live on his father's ranch outside the city.

[@mamag2332]

The handheld ones work. I don't even have to press the button anymore. Just show it to them and they stop.

[@sptrader6316]

There is a simple solution. Problem dogs (those that have more than 2 complaints) must be forced to have their vocal cords removed. Then owners would have quiet dogs and neighbors have peace and quiet neighborhoods. Removing the tension between neighbors and stopping the unnecessary calls to the police-animal control, would be a huge benefit.

The current neighbor has a stupid loud barking german shepard that is left unattended outside 24/7 that they never even do anything with, like ever. It just sits in their backyard 25 feet from my living room and barks very loudly whenever it wants to and the owners NEVER stop it, not even after I've talked to them about it.

Really screwed with potty training them but figured out that letting only one out at a time for short potty breaks 5x a day kept them from barking. Let 2 dogs out and they'll bark and play thru the fence with the neighbor's dog. Really weird how they need a packmate to feel secure enough to bark.

These devices terrorize the dogs. The problem is that the device will go off on any loud noise not necessarily a bark so if a car drives by or if any other noise happens the device will just admit the frequency constantly if set to a sensitive setting which can just terrorize the dog. So if it’s your dog you are trying to train I would not get this device but if it’s a neighbors dog and you’ve had enough and you’re very angry and you’ve tried everything then that’s up to you to decide if you want to subject the neighbors dog to this terror device.

Three different devices and $150 dollars later, and, no they don't work.

[@mauiintheclouds]

A couple things that get the attention of your neighbor right away since their dog probably doesn't bark at THEM is as follows: Disclaimer here: These mental recommendations are strictly NOT to be used in any way but it sure is fun to consider doing it. Implementing these mental exercises may result in legal issues, your wife may not like you anymore, further discord between neighbors (or make the dog stop barking) and thus backfire on you and also attract legal ramifications. Soo, well it is a LOT of fun to think about doing these mental exercises and turning them into reality, you should NOT do them......... Think of this as a mental venting of things I know I would love to do if I had such a four-legged hemorrhoid barking constantly next door that was owned by an inconsiderate neighbor. That being said, here they are. I have it on really good authority that both of these work! 1. Record their dog and put the recording into a camera such as the "Topodome S21C home security camera" sold on Amazon. Aim the camera their direction then set up motion alarm with their own dog's bark as the default noise. Now every time they walk in THEIR yard, the recording of their own dog will bark at them every moment they come into the view of the camera. Yes, it will piss them off and yes, it will send a clear message that it IS super irritating to get barked at on your own property! when they ask you to turn it off, make them a deal that you will if they will. For an added extreme function, add an external amplifier to your speaker so it cranks out at 200 watts. OMG. Taste of their own doggy medicine. A totally different way to do the same goal is as follows: #2 Buy the following items that are easily found on Amazon. M048N - Ultrasonic Generator kemo l010 piezo speaker (Or greater) Basic 110VAC to 12VCD power supply Plastic plumbing pipe to mount it all in and aim like a cannon towards the offending dog. Use a smart plug to turn on or off when needed. For an easier on/off, wire a small relay into a anti bark device that has an adjustable microphone and piezo in it but bypass their wimpy speaker and add your big guns to it so all is not on steroids and automated. Now instead of a 25 to 50 ft range, it will reach out hundreds potentially depending on how high you crank it up to the speaker. Both of these work, so I am told. (Insert innocent face here) Seems some women can hear the devices and you WILL get complaints if turned up too high so be prepared for this. So, don't you feel better that you have mentally built this to vent your frustrations? Again, do NOT build these unless you consult your attorney, call the police to try to have them take care of business with warnings and fines ect...... By going beyond the mental exercise of mentally building these, you may get yourself into legal trouble so while I hear these work very well, don't do it, resist the urge. Stay safe, buy earplugs. Do NOT build either of these!! If you build these very effective anti-bark home brew methods, you assume any and all liability should you do so, especially after I am telling you NOT to. Happy venting with this MENTAL exercise.

I agree yappy dogs are obnoxious, but big obnoxious dogs aren't exactly pleasant by comparison if you've ever had to deal with several or even just one that barks incessantly.

[@babotkho4358]

could not agree more...want to kill them...

[@Asleh23]

It works for our dogs

[@frithbarbat]

I"ve read elsewhere that it can take up to 3 weeks to train the dogs using these devices.

[@Colin12475]

A few antifreeze soaked dog treats takes less than a day to permanently shut a dog up.

[@sf49erswarriorsgiantsgumba99]

I need one of these for my business, the damn rumors and shit talking by my employees are getting really bad!!

[@chadspinalbosd007]

Im getting myself one

[@debracarter7680]

I just bought one it does work It works just as good as the one on Amazon I use it to train the dog to be quiet whether they're barking in the car or in the backyard playing with each other I just tell them quiet I tap the button and it does it's noise and they shut up and then I reward them for being quiet! With how b***** these neighbors are and these neighborhoods that are very close together is the least we can do to help out.

[@aljnddlgdl]

So annoying. Theres a rat like that..i mean small dogs next door. 4am barking...just like kids some people shouldn't have dogs

[@tommylucero2931]

Maybe they should make them for humans that don't know when to shut their mouth up if it safe for the dogs then it should be safe for humans

[@christopherperry35]

Those aren’t dogs

[@atb1040]

You have to get the really powerful one online and it's expensive

[@skyearthocean5815]

Maybe it needs to be louder! Of course the solution would be to not have damn dogs in the first place. Sadly, I have to suffer idiot neighbors who have them.

[@Bitcoin-Busa]

One or two dogs maybe it works. But if you have 10 dogs they don’t care about any ultrasound device.

[@williamwilson6499]

I know what would work.

[@ordinarygirl2424]

I bought something like that one... didn't work. I really wished it worked :(

[@silviowebdesign]

I need a giant one, with 1 meter 🙂 😀

[@thatbiguy1975]

i suppose you could just train your dog. still no clue what to do for the neighbors dog that barks at me. buy one of those marine/sporting event air horns and get some payback?

[@centralscrutinizer7374]

Poor ownership. These dogs are pinheads.

[@imhoman8423]

You tested one product off the boat.

[@GrowingWithJames]

So what about the fact that I don't want my quiet dog to hear that while my neighbors dog barks it's head off. '

[@3schnauzies]

My dogs don't have free roaming to go out and bark whenever they want. They will bark if there is a disturbance, or they hear noises outside the house, as they should. If they are outside ever, I am right beside them, and no barking will last for more than a minute. Bottom line, years back, in another house, I smirked when a neighbor with ONE NOISY, albeit very cute, Yorkie, yapped whenever I took my dogs outside in the large fenced in front yard to run around a bit while I was with them. Then the Yorkie would be up against the adjoining fence making non stop noise, so my three would bark back it it and I'd tell them to stop, they would or I'd take them back inside. Well, the neighbors bought one of these devices and pointed it at my dogs, on my side of the fence. I was like, you really need to point it at your own dog and put it on your side of the fence, because until your dog stops yapping, my dogs won't stop responding. Some people just do not get it.

[@lorrainewilliams2549]

There are always outside noises so your dog is always barking and barking for one minute at a time is disturbing more than you're making it to be. Probably takes a minute in between. Excessive! Stop deflecting and control and train your dog.

[@QuietAZdesert]

Its a training tool - not a lazy womans catch all solution to undo the damage she has already done. She will have to be involved in the training process, not just sit back & listen. 🙄

[@jpondabuck]

Just light off a quarter/half stick . That will most likely do the trick.

[@crownofhair]

I want to try firecrackers 🧨 and scare them good!

@@crownofhair those poppers that use gun powder that you throw on the ground to go off work pretty good they make a loud noise but don't hurt anybody...

@@ernestinemaloy8680 I have some stashed away somewhere, maybe I'll give it a try. Woke up this morning and every day in the last week to these dogs barking. I'm getting extremely frustrated.

[@flickwtchr]

Why the puzzlement? It clearly worked inside in the same room as the dogs. Outside of course it wasn't working because this is a weak device.

[@fionadavis9526]

It’s does not work in or out doors I have one

[@jeffzest8393]

You know of stronger one?

I do not . But this one definitely does not work at all in or outside don’t waste your money

[@slimpaco3561]

Awful neighbors. Dogs should be put down.

[@QuietAZdesert]

Maybe both dog owners should invest in a privacy fence (or back set solid panel run) - so the dogs are not in line of sight & the other neighbors wont have to hear the constant nuisance. Ft

[@wenmar19]

Does anyone use the bark box?

[@marih3286]

We can put men on the moon yet not come up with technology that can safely discourage excessive barking! All dogs bark, that's nature. But so many people don't train their animals at all and the rest of us end up being sleepy sufferers. Oh vey...

[@Mr-Clark]

Hook it up to a car battery and run it 24 hours.

There is no electronic substitute for proper positive reinforment training.

This story reminds me of those " Sonic indoors bug repellers " that were being sold a few years back, they never did work, total and complete rip-off!
