Whether it's your dog or the neighbor's dog that barks incessantly, here's a great solution to problem barking. New from PetSafe, this "decorative birdhouse" is really a highly effective bark- deterrent in disguise. Designed to be hung easily from trees or quickly mounted on fence posts, this bark-control device uses ultrasonic tones to quell excessive barking from dogs nearby. When the dog barks excessively, the unit emits a high-pitch ultrasonic (inaudible to humans) tone that quiets it down, so you, and your neighbor, can enjoy the day and have uninterrupted sleep at night.
Equipped with an internal microphone, the "birdhouse" detects excessive, repetitive barking up to 50 feet away. The system has 3 settings that let you control its sensitivity to barks. Safe and effective for all breeds and sizes of dogs; durable and weatherproof construction offers years of reliable bark control. And, a low-battery indicator light lets you know when it's time to replace the 9-volt battery (not included).

We've been bothered by a neighbor's dog that comes out periodically day and night and just barks for 10 to 30 minutes -- usually facing our house. We got this product, found a spot in the trees facing the dog, and set it up. It's really worked as advertised. The dog starting barking, as usual, but then seemed to bark fewer times, and with less noise. As three weeks have passed, we hear the dog give one or two "test" yelps (more than barks) presumably to see if it still gets "zapped' by the machine. Since it does, it stops barking immediately. No more gritting teeth (for us) for 10 to 30 minutes, as before. So, I'm delighted with this and wholeheartedly recommend it.

HERE'S THE SCOOP ON IT:
A new family moved in next door. They brought with them a german shepard looking dog that they keep in the back yard. This dog barks non-stop all day long, and it's a very deep and violent bark. It boggles the mind how these people next door can be so oblivious to the barking. We couldn't enjoy the inside of our own home due to the barking. Something had to be done immediately. I read the reviews on here which seem to have mixed results. I didn't care if it was going to be a waste of money or not because I had to try something. I bought it and hung it on a tree next to our wooden privacy fence. The instuctions say not to hang it higher than 5ft but we had no choice but to hang it higher. It's hanging on the tree about 7-8ft high and it's pointed down toward the middle of their yard. IT IMMEDIATELY WORKED. We were amazed. It barked once and I guess it heard the noise and it didn't bark for 2 days after that. After about the 3rd day it would give a test bark and then it would quit. We thought it was so funny. Finally relief. However, after 2 weeks the dog started on a rampage of barking non-stop again. We were thinking to ourselves that the dog must be used to it. But after taking it down, we noticed the 9 Volt battery was already dead. I guess we just have to replace the battery every two weeks, but we will. I don't think the 9 Volt lasts very long in the cold.
But, to sum it up, it worked. Also, the dog looks fairly young so I'm sure it's hearing is acute, meaning that it's getting blasted when it barks. HAHA, we win.
Update on 02-27-09 - The dog next door seems to have adjusted to this bark deterrent, and now barks when he wants to, although he doesn't bark non-stop like he once did before we hung this device in our tree. So it worked for a while and trained the dog a little I guess.

This "deterrent" has had zero effect on my neighbor's dogs. In fact, they run right up near the thing (within 2 or 3 feet) and seemingly bark AT it. And they don't stop. They just seem to be annoyed at it rather than learning not to bark. I am not impressed with this product and question the legitimacy of the 5 star reviews. I do not recommend this item. The merchant, Key Products, was excellent, however. I did receive it within 4 days of ordering with regular shipping and I would recommend them. Just not for this product.
