PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Control
This unit can be used to reduce barking from your own dogs outdoors or to help control neighbouring dogs.
It looks like a bird house so if it is used for neighbours' dogs, they will not necessarily be aware that it is helping to control the barking.
An internal microphone picks up barking from up to 15 metres away and activates the ultrasonic signal. The unpleasant (but inaudible to humans) sound stops when the dog stops barking. The dog associates the unpleasant noise with its barking and reduces its barking to avoid the sound.
The unit can be hung up, attached to trees, posts and so on or placed freestanding at a maximum recommended height of up to 1.5 metres. If the unit has to be mounted above 1.5 metres, it should be angled down toward the dog's location so that the speaker faces toward the dog, without intervening physical barriers such as fences (open mesh excepted) between it and the dog.
Barking should be reduced within a week or so.
Please note:
1. The unit will not be activated by dogs barking beyond the maximum detection range of 15 metres and will not have any effect on them.
2.
Best results are expected with smaller to medium dogs but it may work for any dogs that are not deaf or hearing impaired.
3. Barriers such as solid fences between the unit and the dog are likely to prevent it from working to control barking.
