There's a dog somewhere behind us, I think kitty corner. Barks all night. Has anyone used this a little farther away and had it work?

I use this device every night. It was more than a month of use before my dog stopped barking ALL night. It was 3 feet away from her. Now, most nights she doesn't bark but I think she's just tired.

It doesn't work over block fences or through walls, my neighbor has 5 dogs that bark constantly. three of them are outside and two are in an enclosed porch area, it works on the ones that are outside but not the ones on the porch. I have it pointed in their direction and about twenty feet away through a chain link fence.

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.

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.

Mine stopped my dog from barking in a few days and haven't needed to use it anymore. I have loaned it to several friends with similar results

I wouldn't. It's not 100% when kept inside out of the elements. I've placed mine inside adjacent to my back door. I live next to a busy street & can hear the barking, when the volume is turned all the way up. I still like the product & use it every time I leave town. Hope this helps!

I've never tried it with this kind of behavior...just barking, but I imagine it will work for your situation. I would definitely try it.

I had zero luck with this thing. The only thing that worked for me was talking to the neighbors and/or calling the cops. Our township has regulations about barking dogs and I took advantage of them. It's a shame you have to call the law on your neighbors but it may be your only recourse dealing with people who lack common sense.

Yes, it will work through a window. I have not personally used it to control barking. The only problem I see with using it like you ask it that the dog really needs a verbal command to go with the GENTLE reminder from the Dogtra. Otherwise I would be concerned that the dog may not fully understand what's going on, but would I'm sure start to associate the reminder buzz with his barking. Sometimes it can really upset the dog and they can get confused and even more anxious and barky when they are zapped. It really has to be used carefully and with the guidance of a professional dog trainer.

We used ours to stop excessive barking and from running off. After you have used it on them a few times, when you pick up the unit and they see it they usually will stop what they are doing. You would have to catch them in the act and then shoot them with it. Good luck.

In my opinion, yes. Ask a trainer or behaviorist for help with barking or maybe get a citronella spray collar

Unfortunately, this particular product did not work for me. I think it may have been defective. I also bought the First Alert Bark Genie Automatic control device and it did work, at first. I should warn you that once my dog got used to the device- the product lost it mojo.

hi, I don't remember seeing this... *But be warned of the possibilities of it not working :( We have a dog that lives next door that makes us so miserable with his barking.... Every time the dog barked .... I also heard a HIGH PITCHED sound inside the house that was killing my ears!

Arika, I have had my Ultrasonic Bark Deterrent about 3 weeks now, and it began to work immediately for my female (mid sized dog/Australian Shepherd). I believe it would help with the whining based on placement of the device. My neighbors have smaller dogs (Yorki sized), have purchased the same unit as they have seen the results from my purchase, and they simply have the device lower to the dogs, as their yips are not as loud as my dogs' barks were, and they have been 100% pleased with their results as well. I hope this information has been helpful to you.

The sound is loud. It depends on how close to the bedrooms you place it as to whether it would wake the family.We have used ours on a storage/sitting bench in front of our kitchen window.Our sheltie would jump up ,look out the window and bark at everything that she saw. We tried several ways to stop her. It only took about 3 days for her to avoid the bench completely. I have had it turned off for about 2 months and she never has jumped up again. This product was a really wonderful solution for us.

I think you would have to couple the sound with a quick jerk on the leash. In other words, hit the device and quickly give her a sharp jerk and tell her "down." That way she will tie the sound to the down command. Over time, you should be able to just tell her "down" and in order to avoid the sound, she will comply. It does work well for barking, but I also couple it with "quiet!" then a quick blast on the device. They are now at the point where just telling them "quiet" gets the desired response.

The beep is about 2 seconds and I would hear it if it was out side my bedroom door. Perhaps putting it to the side a little would mitigate the noise. If you happen to get a motion detector that works well, it doesn't seem to take many "beeps and sprays" to keep the cats away.

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.

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
