PetSafe Indoor Ultrasonic Dog Bark Control System

Es wird nicht DIESES abgebildete Gerät geliefert sondern zwei kleine Ähnliche jedoch ohne manuellen Auslöser. Hier sollte der Anbieter mal das Foto aktualisieren

I am so excited! Have you ever had a dog so yappy and aggressive that it woke you up all hours of the night barking and growling at other members of the household who were just getting up to use the restroom or getting a drink? I have! I have been contemplating rehoming my dog because she never let’s me sleep at night. I decided I’d give this a try. It’s only day one and it’s working SO well. My house is at peace! I’m not EVEN joking! I used the training button to stop the growling and after two growls and two button pushes, my dog has not growled since! My sons were never allowed to enter my home without her going ballistic and if they had friends over, she wouldn’t stop barking until they left, even if they stayed the night! My son had a friend over today, she did two barks. That’s it. Later My girlfriend came home and Luna did a bark and a half. Usually she goes psycho when she sees my girlfriend. I am in LOVE with this device. I’ve never seen my dog so quiet and calm. I even take it outside with me when I walk her since she literally starts acting like a psycho the moment her foot crosses the threshold from inside the house to outside the house. Thank you so much for restoring peace in my home. I might actually start to love her all again. The struggle has been real. I’m a mom of 4, a student, and working. I need my sleep! I’m looking forward to sleeping through the night tonight.

This quit working after a couple of weeks. I sent it back and got a replacement, it did the same thing. Worked for a couple weeks and then quit working. It would go off over little noises, but not actually produce a sound. The sound can be heard by younger kids by the way. I couldn’t hear it, but my kids would get annoyed by it.

I’ve only been using this for three days, so I will update this review in the next few months BUT..

I have 3 yorkshire terriers. I also dog-sit dogs at my house. So, at any given moment, I have between 3-6 dogs at my residence.
My yorkies are definite barkers. They bark at everything and anything. They bark at each other all the time (if one of them takes a toy another one wants… or, my favorite, if one of them is laying on a pillow or a spot on the couch another one wants. Once one of them starts barking, the others usually all follow. If I am not there to stop it, it can go on for HOURS.

I moved into a townhouse recently and started to get REALLY anxious about leaving the house because there were multiple instances where I would come home and hear one of my dogs barking from the outside of the house. I can differentiate their barks (I know which one of them is barking and what type of bark they are using… like, they have an intruder bark, they have a annoyed bark, or they just have a bored bark, etc). My girl dog was barking her bored bark… the Bored Bark usually goes on for hours, there is no telling how long my neighbors must have been subjected to her barking. I was mortified.

I tried setting up distractions for them while I leave the house. I don’t leave the house a lot, I work from home, but I go out for about 2-3 hours a day to run errands or see people. So I tried giving them bones to gnaw on, toys filled with treats, anything. But they would just end up barking at each other because one of them would want the other one’s toy.

So I finally got a shock collars. I tried it for a day and felt too bad. So I returned them.

I also I purchased “spray collars”. Those are coming tomorrow and I plan on using those in conjunction to this device. I also purchased muzzles and will be muzzling them if ever needed. Hey, it’s better than getting complaints from neighbors and fines from the city and god knows whatever else. I have one neighbor who didn’t say anything to my face about my dogs but who wrote a long complaint on Facebook about us.

But, anyway, I purchased this alongside my muzzles, and it works beautifully! one of my male terriers has high anxiety (he is scared of everything) and so I feel a little bad for him because he immediately jumps onto my lap and tries to hide his face in my shirt. The other two don’t have anxiety but immediately stopped barking when this thing detected them. I manually pushed it today and all three of my dogs SCATTERED.

I can hear the noise on some level. But then again, I am very young and my hearing is extremely good and I often hear high frequency pitches that others cannot.

I have a frequent larger terrier that I look after (dog-sit) who loves to bark whenever I leave the house because she has separation anxiety. She has a deep, woofing bark that is much louder than my yorkies and much more annoying. She is over right now and this device immediately stops her barking as well.

I think it is a hit-or-miss, completely depends on your dog type… but for my yorkies… It is working great and I am so happy. For the first time in weeks, I don’t feel anxiety leaving the house. I actually finish all my errands and the thought of “having to go home ASAP just in case they have started a barking war” is no longer entering my mind. Even though I am only gone for 2-3 hours at a time, I still feel bad for my neighbors and truly just want my home to be quiet when I am gone. I even considered getting a two-way voice pet cam so I could check in and tell them to stop barking if needed. I might get one of those regardless, I am just so set on stopping this barking for the sake of my neighbors.

Again, I will update this review in about a month or so but I actually am thinking about purchasing several more of these for more coverage!

Despite some shaky reviews I bought this because I have a Petsafe collar that works great. Unfortunately this unit is absolutely not functional due to being much, much too sensitive. I have a quiet house in a rural area, and even when I was trying to tiptoe around, this bark deterrent unit was constantly going off for no reason. It is useless as a training tool because of this, and will just confuse and upset your dog. I returned it. Don’t buy it. I’m going to get a manually activated one instead, which I was hoping to avoid. Also as other reviews have mentioned there is no off switch, and it’s really hard to disconnect the battery. Not that it really matters since there’s effectively no time it can reasonably be left on.

I purchased one for myself and one for my daughter. Neither one of us saw much improvement in the way our dogs bark.
