how far of a range does the sound travel (50 ft.) to stop barking dogs?

there is no sound. this is for close contact to stop an attack. not to stop barking dogs off in the distance.

The pet convincer is more for close use. If the dog is very sensitive to the noise it might work. You may want to consider a bull horn for that distance.

I have only used the conviner up close. After using it a few times, I find all you have to do it show the dog the convincer and they stop their unwanted behavior.

I imagine that the sound can travel that far. However, it is not just the sound that makes the device effective, but the brush of air on their shoulder or hip that disrupts their behavior. My Pyrenees would practically jump out of his skin when he heard it. My German Shepherd could care less even if the air hits him. For 1/2 the price plus the purchase of the high flow nozzle from The Pet Convincer website, purchase a CO2 bicycle tire inflation device.

Hi Christine! I've owned this product for about 5 months now and I love it. The average range is about 60 ft but have gotten up to 90. The dog can be in any position, including their back against you. Remeber to buzz first and then shock (i recommend a setting of 5 or 6 for a bigger dog). They'll yelp from being startled. I only had to use the stimulation 3 times on my dog after the buzzer. After that, the buzzer is enough to remind them. Now, i dont even use it anymore. I take her outsode without a leash and she is now a model dog. Hope this helps!

No , I don't think it will work. We purchased one for the neighbors dogs who are small dogs that bark constantly, and put it as close as I could, which is about 40-50 feet away, which is what they say. The problem is the dogs move farther away than that. Anyway, it is just sitting out there now, and the dogs are barking.

it needs a direct line with no obstacles between it and the dog. It worked great when mounted flush with a wood fence and I bored appropriate-sized holes for the sensor and speaker to pick up the barking clearly and respond with the ultrasonic sound to a neighbor's nonstop barker. It was mounted about 20" from the ground and was pointed into their yard, where the barker resided most of the time.

The warning beep will sound anywhere from less than two feet to about 10 or 12 feet. You can adjust it yourself with the range adjustment knob that the kick comes with.

the dog may not hear so well due to breed. dogs over the years have been bread to do different thing for man. hunt by smell sight or sound. my unit works ok but there is a pack of small dogs next door.they do stop barking after a min or so. I wish my neighbors would just move I can only hope. Joe

Not sure of the range, but it is VERY LOUD.I have it on a backyard gate that is about 20' from the back door, and it can be heard WELL thru the entire house. Hope this helps!

It looks like everyone has already answered the questioin re the ample volume. Just want to make some comments that might help newcomers: Use the aperture(s) that are supplied, that will decrease the distance and sensitivity, if animals are a problem. Also I use mine on an electric timer so that it is only active at night. ALso don't aim the sensor at nearby bushes or trees because they will trigger the sensor during windy conditions. You can always find the perfect location that will provide adequate protection against human intruders.

45 feet away.... they will be able to hear it but I don't think it will be too bad. It's probably about 60-70 decibels when you are standing right by it as it does its job, and that is the level of a normal voice conversation when heard from 3 feet away. Just depends on the neighbors' tolerance level; everyone is different. After a while, it recedes into the background and you don't notice it as much -- at least I don't. When it fries a big one, sometimes it remains on the grid until it is literally burned away and there is this electric sizzling sound for several seconds. I wouldn't put it right outside my bedroom window, but I would put it in my yard if they are 45 feet away. They'll get used to it. 45 feet away.... they will be able to hear it but I don't think it will be too bad.

If they get about 30 ft away, the sound will be less 'noticeable' to the Dog. Meaning, It's easier for them to ignore. Hope this helps :)

I really don't know as the shipped me the pest control unit instead of the bark stopper.I emailed them and got no reply.However when the neibors dogs start there rampage with nonstop barking I set the unit I recied on the back steps and it does shut them up after a while.the farthest distance it has to reach is about 50 ft. away and it does ok.wish I had gotten the unit I sent for though.Ron

The 50 feet is a straight-line distance and reduces as it moves to the left and right. You have to try and point the device straight to the dogs

I sent the thing back. It didn't work at all from a distance of 40 feet. My best advice in dealing with barking dogs is call the police. There are laws concerning this behavior.

My neighbors yappy dogs are about 600 ft away and it works on them. Dogs barking usually doesn't bother me but they go into a barking frenzy. I open a window and aim. They stop and run up on their porch. It will not work through windows that stop uv rays. It will bounce back. Use open range. I use it on my house dogs and it works beautifully. This is a real good product.

I've successfully used it up to 50 feet away, but don't know what the longest possible range is. You do not have to be in line of sight -- it will transmit through doors and walls, though the range is reduced.

I put it on a fence gate and it rings, but it is not super loud. I don't know if it can be heard 75 ` away.

To answer your question we have not tested that far of a range. The sound gets weaker and fuzzy from the backyard to the family room.
