PetSafe Outdoor Bark Control, 15 m Range, Automatic, Anti-Bark, Ultrasonic Stimulation

We had trouble with our normally placid labrador barking at a dog next door so bought this. It worked straight away but terrified our dog so much that he wouldn't even venture into the back garden to do his business and had to be pulled out on his lead. We switched off the device but even the sight of it seemed to make him nervous! It is now in a cupboard! Thankfully our dog is now venturing into the garden again but it has taken several weeks for him to regain his confidence. If we had problems with barking in the future we may consider trying the device again but this would have to be weighed up against the stress it seemed to cause our very sensitive dog!

I bought this as I have three dogs that are outside while I'm at work and we had heard a few complaints about nuisance barking during the day. I honestly can't say if this works all the time or not as I'm not actually there to witness it but I check its working every day and my dogs seem to be calmer and more settled when I put them outside. It doesn't stop the barking if they are not directly in front of it or if they are just playing but I'm hoping its done the trick! I also bought the bark deterrent for indoors and so far it's reduced the noise when anyone comes into the house.

I should have listened to the others and saved myself £33. I have 3 Yorkies who are relatively quiet until they see someone or another cat or dog dare to walk past my house! It worked the first day and after that they totally ignored it. I thought perhaps it didn't work if they were in the garden in a corner or somewhere where the signals would not get through, but I have even tried it indoors and, although the light shows when they bark, it does not stop them. They don't even hesitate or look to see when the sound (if any) is coming from. That's the problem with something that's silent, you never know if it is working or not. At the moment I just use a whistle. They are trained to know a whistle means treats so they soon shut up and come running in! Do not waste your money on this. Once the dog realises that the noise will not hurt or there are no consequences, then they ignore it.

I have two dogs and one of them used to bark late at night so we decided to buy this product to overcome the problem. The detterent worked very well on the barking dog but it had absolutely no effect on the second one. We are lucky that the barking dog is dettered. Our problem is partly solved. The second dog barks in day time but there is no way to detter it as the gadget does not seem to be working on him. Neverthless we are happy with the result as we can sleep without being awakened by the dog's barking at night. We are using no bark collar on the second dog but we are not happy with it because the dog finds a way to push it a side so when he barks, it has no effect on him.

It just didn't work and I'm sending it back today. The manual says give it two weeks. We did. Our problem barker sat underneath it and barked uproariously whilst looking up at it. I fear it has only given him another reward for barking.Unfortunately for us it had another unintended consequence. Our puppy, who was well housetrained, got such a fright when Mr Barker got going and the device did it's stuff that she decided to come inside to empty her load. She's in therapy now.

Very dubious about buying a product like this as bad and good reviews but read what people have said and tips and tricks it all helps, the Product is small and compact looks like a little bird house I have it sitting on garden light hook just in front of the fence on the lowest range setting,I've not tested the unit to see if waterproof as only received it this Thursday.we have 2 border collies, youngest 3 1/2 years old who has become a Barker upsetting neighbors which is the last thing I want so purchased this product after reading reviews and Google searches on ratings etc and honestly it's brilliant the noise admitted stops her right away but she runs and hides but it does take a week to two for dogs to associate barking with noise so she should get better in time ,down side does not seem to work on my 11 year old male collie or 6 mth old puppy but puppy doesn't really bark anyway lol & too many other exciting things to do lol but the other dogs in houses either side of us have seemed to go quiter also 👍 I wouldn't pay full price some at £80 I got this reconditioned from Amazon at £33 ish only down side no instructions but you can easily download them or read online direct from pet safe with no issues . Well worth trying this product recommend 👍 hopefully neighbors are happier

Purchased based on good reviews unfortunately doesn't work at all, contacted customer support to be told its still covered under No Bark Guarantee. Few emails exchanged and then nothing since 3rd of May. 3 follow ups and still no one even bother responding . Feel cheated and disappointed as its not a cheap item therefore DONT BUY IT so you dont end up like me .Many thanks to the customer care for ignoring me

Oh Emm geee (over the top but hey its that good) this is an amazing product. let me set the sceneNext door neighbours three dogs who live out all year round( personally.... what's the point of having PETS if you don't have them inside... afterall they are pets aren't they? working dogs different issue perhaps ! Rant over So, mad barking dogs goaded by town foxes who cackle. from dusk and ALL NIGHT end result, one very frazzled me... being a pet dog lover ( see aforementioned rant) having managed to get neighbours to put doggies to bed at 10 pm or later ( again depending on whether errand son is in/ high/ drunk/ up to and including not at all = "I forgot".I didn't want to create dispute so purchased Petsafe outdoor Bark Control, which works like a dream. They tried initially to outbark it but now skulk and throw begrudging looks at it and are reduced to minor bark fests which last mostly a few minutes before they ralent..... It works over an amazingly large radius but is definitely effective when clear unobstructed and relatively low level to dog( mins about 1 m high) but think pinning to garden fence with strategically placed cut holes...... Thank you from myself and my neighbourhood for silencing not only the dogs but the foxes too... added bonus!
