This is a question for all of the negative reviewers. Where does it say anywhere that this will get your neighbors dog to stop barking?!

I'm sorry I never had a chance to use it. I started calling the police every night since the first of this year because of the noise,(they didn't seem to be doing anything) so I ordered the bark control just in case the police didn't correct the situation. They did & I gave it away to my brother. He was dealing with 3 barking dogs. 2 dogs stop barking, 1 still barks, sister in law thinks it's deaf. My neighbor no longer has the dog & we are enjoying peace and quiet after 2 years of nonstop barking. Good luck to you.

The sound is activated by bark. My neighbor's dog will come near the device, but as soon as it barks the dog heads off in the opposite direction.

A collar is not your best investment to stop barking. I've done some research on this, even though I have a very quiet dog. Zero barking is not normal, neither is excessive barking. I very much suggest finding and hiring a reputable trainer in your area to help if you have a 'big barker' on your hands.

This device will start barking constantly after six months of use regardless whether there is someone in its trigger range or not. If neighbors can hear the barking through the walls, they will definitely complain about the constant barking.

Some dogs learn not to bark. Our dog is a difficult dog and didn't learn to stop barking. We use it when he goes outside so he won't disturb the neighbors with his barking. We use it inside when we need to take a nap or at nightime or when we don't want to hear him barking. Overall, it solved a huge problem we were having. Our dog was driving our neighbors crazy with his barking and it was causing us a lot of stress. This device doesn't hurt the dog.

It actually isn't made for dog barking but for pet containment. It can't sense the pet barking only when and if it gets close to the wire barrier then gives a correction.

I have actually bought 3 bark collars for my dog! None of them seem to stop whining. I don't mind whining, because my dogs bark is very high pitched and loud, making my ears ring for weeks if he's close to me and barks. I find a spray bottle w/water works wonders. I've never had a whiny dog (he does whine sometimes w/bark collar on.) The directions all say not to put it on the dog during play; that is when my dog barks the most! I then carry a water bottle, and that does the trick. Perhaps you can try that w/whining.

It will help with howling but not whining/wimpering. If the dog is more than 30 to 40 feet away from the unit, it might not work. If nothing else, the dog will probably avoid that area but still bark on the other side of the yard.

It seems to only be activated by the dog closest to the collar. I've barked loudly right next to my dog and it has not gone off. But it has gone off without anyone including my dog barking, so it is a little unpredictable.

I don 't think it will work. I put the device about 10 feet away from our neighbor 's dogs and it didn't stop them from barking. I had the device there for about a day and still barking. Save your time and money.

My dog is not a howler or a whiner. What it does is startle the dog into not doing what they were doing. But if the dog is really upset, then they will probably go past the startling and continue. It has worked great to make our TV room a bark-free zone.

Unfortunately, no. There was not only zero difference with the neighbor's dog, but my dogs had no problem barking freely once the lead barking started. It did not bother any of them - as if it wasn't even there.

All I can say is that I've had no luck whatsoever with this whistle with any dog at all. You can change the volume by sliding the two pieces in and out. I've tried that. My cats can hear it, perk up their ears and then sit/lie back down. That's the only response I ever get. I'm sure the dogs can hear it, but responding? I doubt it. Just my experience.

My neighbor's dog is a mutt, which constantly barks. As I stated before to other people purchasing this item. It does work because my neighbor's dog has quit barking about 85 to 95%. Also remember that if people are cutting the lawn next to you, make sure you disconnect the machine, because that is not going to stop the dog from barking. My neighbor's dog has learned to go bark on the other side of the house, that's how good this thing works. I'm very satisfied with it.
