How well does it detect the constant yapping of a neighbor's Chihuahua?

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.

i like it because you don't waste batteries. it comes with a all weather cover so rain does not affect it. you would have to put in on the fence/wall facing the chihuahua down at it's level to work. i works for 25 to 5o feet and it has 3 settings.

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.

Ours never worked for the neighbor dog ! It cost. 48.00 and the dog continues to bark. We even moved it from our yard across the street to the bushes next to the dogs porch still barks

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 husband used this on a neighbors large dog that was always barking and it really worked. Your dog will probably hear it. Make sure you follow the directions and use at a safe distance from either dog. It MUST be used according to the distance the instructions provide. We used it on our barking small breed puppy so she would not disturb our neighbors during her 6AM walk. and at first it worked great, but then she did not react at all. Seems to work on some dogs, and it is impossible to determine which ones without buying the device and trying it.

The unit is quite responsive to movement near it. You may need to do an experiment with your cats to find out for sure, by using the chime function on the unit.

My neighbor's dog will stop barking when he's within 15' or so of the unit. If he goes down to the other end of the lot - about 30' away - it doesn't affect him. I'm thinking about buying a 2nd unit for that corner of the yard.

Yes just point it at the dog and press the button..works ok at a distance also..just hold it down for a second..you wont hear anything but you should notice your dogs ears perk up..and they should stop barking..my girlfriend uses the one I bought her on her chiahauhaus and they got trained very fast using it..

The device is absolutely sensitive enough that you would be able to see even relatively small changes in sound levels. (For example, in a quiet room, I can actually see this device detecting a loudly ticking clock or the sounds of residential traffic at least 150 yards away reaching the inside of my home with my windows closed.) However, this sensitivity may also be a problem for you. When you first turn the device on you will see a spike in the reading for a few seconds until the device "normalizes" to the environment you are using it in. While you will be able to determine that overall the sound levels have changed during a commercial, those sounds levels are not constant, that is, you may also see wide fluctuations as each word is spoken or as music is played. Sound levels change constantly in a normal household environment with each spoken word, each movement of the device, traffic outside the home, other sounds turning on/off (e.g., heating systems), a dog barking two houses away, etc. So while the device is sensitive enough to detect an overall level change, I think the sensitivity could also be a problem if you do not consider EVERYTHING causing changes in the readings. Hope this answers your question !!!

I'm not sure. We use it for problematic cats and to deter nasty neighbors from letting their dogs crap in our yard.Inside the repeller there is a mechanism to adjust the ultrasonic tone, depending on what animal you want to scare away. It shows you a range for cats/dogs, rodents, etc. I think you'd be able to do experiment until you found the perfect tone. If you have a county agricultural extension office you may want to get their advice on the frequency. But I think the device is pretty self-explanatory and it *should* work for you. I could hardly believe how effective it was against cats and dogs. I think once you get the right frequency you won't have any problems. I'm not sure.

Yes, there is a Bark Correction Mode. I haven't tried it (my dog isn't a barker), but guide says the device does.

I have my Dakota passive infrared sensor pointed across my driveway. It's triggered by cars, people, dogs, birds, squirrels and everything. I walked past it and gave it a wide birth (thirty feet) holding a wireless home phone set on intercom to listen for the alert. I'm very happy with it and don't mind false alerts. Works well. The sensor is more than three hundred feet from house in woods. Super. The batteries last a long time, also.

It works for growling, but my dog doesn't whine. If the whining is loud enough, I'm sure that the microphone on the collar would pick it up too and spray.

Hi, I have a small Dog and the motion sensor normally turns on with she passes so I will assume it will detect your cats as well. Regards,

I think it all depends on how heavy or loud the whipper/whine is because I believe it works on the vibration it picks up. Most likely it will. About the one you activate, that could go both. If your not near by you could miss the opportunity. I had one previously and hit the zap level dial by mistake before the activation button and giving a zap for a 120lb dog to a 30lb dog makes you feel really, really bad. Huskies tend to be on the smarter side and I feel this could work.

yes the motion detector is sensitive to pets you have to adjust it trial an error

I have a unit for my 5.5 pound chihuahua...who feels like she needs to bark 24/7. (even at us) I have never used the H1 for her. The vibration is my go to...I've used the L1 only a couple of times. The vibration does a good job at "reminding" her to stop barking. I had everyone in the family that might use it, try it out on themselves so they have an awareness of what they are doing. the L1 is just a small pulse... but it is effective.
