The Dog Silencer Max seems to have worked very well on both of my neighbors dogs. One neighbor dog in back of our home and one next door.

Efficient, discreet, easy to maintain.

I was all set to be disappointed. Seemed too good to be true. Well, it seems to be working! My two dachshunds are barkers. It is in their DNA ( just like digging holes). I am very pleasantly surprised. I turned the sensitivity down low so city noises wouldn’t trigger it but a close up dog bark will activate it or I just press the remote if they are out of sound range.
Birdie F.
Fantastic product and works great.

Works great!! Also, your customer service dept is wonderful!!!

I have lived in my house for over 2 years now. For those entire 2 years, my neighbors dogs have barked at me from the moment I walked into my own back yard to the moment I went inside. I have walked over to there house and asked them politely to help me out, but there was no change in behavior.
Within 2 days of setting this device up, the barking has stopped completely. I cannot believe I waited so long to get this. It is worth every penny!
Andrew B.
I set this up at the very end of the season, but right away there was a difference! Fingers crossed for next summer, but so far I highly recommend this product.
Rufus J.
3 to 4 pit bull dog, loud barking constantly day and night.
Not anymore! At least 85% less noise! Thanks
Steve A.
This device is amazing!! I have 3 dogs next door about 75 feet away that would bark 24/7. I actually
considered moving!!! Neighbors are very inconsiderate of other peoples privacy. Well it took about 3 days and it is back to how things were before the trash next door moved in! Its so quiet now! I would buy this product again!!! Its a miracle!
Michael G.
So far, the thing does not work. All three of my dogs are still barking relentlessly. I will give it another week, but if I don't see some substantial change, I'll be returning the device.
Christina S.
I raise dogs and have a kennel I bought two of your systems one to put outside and one to put inside the first night it seemed to be working but I haven’t noticed much of a difference since then
Roger L.
No results yet after a month.
Micheal Z.
The dogs are just across the street and it’s turned up , it comes on when they are barking, it has been 3 weeks no results.

The day we brought our 5 year old Anatolian Sheppard home from the shelter the skies darkened and it started to rain. Not just any kind of rain, it was an ominous rain the lasted for over 3 months. Meat is really a sweet dog as long as you are not a cat, a deer, a deiseal truck, or any other kind of noise that might bother him. At first we thought he had turrets because he'd just be laying there all calm and all of the sudden his barking would start. We equate his barking it to the annoying car alarm that is going off in the parking lot that is being ignored. We tried everything from a spray bottle filled with holy water, Benadryl, Trazadone , nothing worked! We were desperate when we found the Ultimate Bark Control online. We ordered it and got an email saying it would be here in 2 weeks due to it being held up in Tacoma Washington. When I got an email saying it had arrived I raced home in the pouring rain that hadn't stopped since Meat can home with us. Alas Fed Ex had ruined my day because it wasn't actually there. I didn't think our life would ever be sane again. I called and emailed Good Life and they sent a replacement the next day. A few short days later the rain begin to taper off and that afternoon when I arrived home the Ultimate Bark Control was waiting on our doorstep. As soon as I plugged it in the rain completely stopped, the sun came out and birds started signing again. It was like heaven had opened up and was pouring down on us again. Needless to say Meat has stopped his car alarm barking at absolutely nothing while in our home. Now if we could get a portable one for walks in the neighborhood so he wouldn't go nuts over a Tesla driving by that would be epic! Meat still hates cats but so do I so that's a non issue as far as I'm concerned.
Thank you Good Life!
You have made the sun shine on our family again

Best dog barking control I have used
Stuart J.
Made no difference at all. Not like it’s a large dog, but couldn’t position it any closer to the dog without it being in their yard. Gave it plenty of time but too long for refund so atm it’s just an expensive garden ornament. Best I can hope for now is the neighbour realises what it is and actually does something about controlling the dog.
Woodrow P.
My neighbor has a wire mariner. Doesn't constantly bark but takes spells 10-15 mins at a time of a loud bark that carries a distance in this relatively quite rural neighborhood. They're across the street but far enough away that I can't use the sensitivity adjustment because I have to set it on max (75') to be effective and too many other things are causing it to falsely go off. I've set the sensitivity on min (25') and manually set it off from inside the house with the included remote control, every time I here the dog bark. This device has been amazing and very effective using it the way I described. Just been using one week. Once in a while the dog will bark, I hit the button on the remote and barking stops immediately. If you want peace in your neighborhood, it's worth every penny.
Doug G.
Worked for a few days but dog is back to barking alot. Will be sending it back.
Gary F.
3 week so far. Dogs are still barking.
Vanessa S.
Device didnt even faze him. Barking did not increase or decrease. Waste of money for German Shepherds
Samantha C.
I wish a product was made that works at distances greater than the average suburban yard. We live in the country and I just don't think the range is there, even with the amplifying cone. So far I don't notice much of a difference, but that is probably because of the distance and presence of trees and brush that block the path.
Douglas H.
It has reduced the neighbor's dog barking by 90%.
Gary N.
Before getting this the dogs wouldn't shut up. I advised the owner to do something about it or something would happen. I purchased this little item And believe you me it works. It's gonna take a while for them to get adjusted adjusted to the sounds that's that's driving them nuts. The owner doesn't know what's going on And I'm not going to tell her she should have listened Thank you for such a wonderful item and I highly Recommend this to anyone
Chris R.
We have neighbor dogs from different directions barking at different times. The remote is wonderful for this situation!
William B.
Neighbors dogs are let out to fend for themselves. They bark all the time. My family and myself cannot sit out on the patio without being barked at and have to go back inside.
We couldn't tell any difference with the Bark machine and were dissapointed. We call the police, write emails, letters etc. Next will be legal action.
Unfortunately the Dog Silencer didn't appear to have any effect.
Thank you,
William Banaszek
Elizabeth G.
I have a pug and shenloves to bark at anything and anyone. Since purchasing this device, we have noticed the difference immediately. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Jay Z.
It’s wonderful to sleep at night again!
Taylor G.
This doesn’t work well at all I put it where my dogs bark the most and it didn’t help at all.
B A.
Have two dogs. When one barks more the other, one is always scratching his hears or yawning because if the device. But the barking g dog never stops barking
Kenneth M.
Beware of employing this device because it is a strong device to use if the dogs are having a hard time adjusting to barking less. I used this on my neighbor's dog who was barking so dang much that it was hard to concentrate on anything at my home desktop office. That along with the coverplate that it fits into is a combo that should end the dogs barking, short of calling the police for unnecessary noise. Awesome combo but if the neighbor two houses away has dogs curbing their barking then it could be a tad too much. I do not want to make any dog miserable, hence will use the least invasive means to stop their barking for the one causing the irritation next door.
Jennifer C.
The device did nothing to stop the barking dogs. Very disappointed.
Mark C.
It seems to work very well.
It definitely needs to be “ line of site” installed.
Had to move for best installation
Julie S.
I haven't used this part yet, as I gave been carrying the devise to different areas where the dog is, but glad to have it in case I decide to hang it.
Julie S.
Our dog barks at people in the neighboring school yard. Fortunately the school track has a fence and we have a fence, but he is still annoying. When I turn on the bark control, he turns and looks at me. This may take awhile for him to calm down but I have noticed he returns to me on the deck, but he still starts barking. It'll take time I think.
Sandra S.
One of the dogs quit barking, but the other was impervious to it, even on the highest setting. I hope they eventually get used to it and stop barking and whining a lot.
Steve H.
This device does trigger for a dog next door. Not sure if it's going to be effective or not. Leaving it in "audible" mode to hopefully annoy the neighbor as well as the dog with ultrasound.
Adam S.
It doesn’t seem to work at all. Dogs still bark non stop. It was worth a shot
mark p.
The ultra-sonic signal could be stronger, it seems not to work as well as the audio signal.
Troy T.
We live in a neighborhood where we are essentially on top of our neighbors. One of our neighbors shouldn't even own dogs, but alas, she does. Two of them, and they are outside on their deck (only) basically all day. And they bark...incessantly. They bark when I go outside to grill; they bark when I get home from work; they bark when we unload groceries; they bark when the kids are outside; they bark when there's nothing outside. She leaves them home while she leaves for the weekend and they yip for days, hoping to get back inside. We have been at our wits end for a year or more. We read reviews and decided to give this a shot. At this point, we had nothing to lose. After two-three weeks, my conclusions this: It's not perfect, but it is effective. We were looking for new homes and now we aren't. That's all I can ask. I imagine it will get better over time, but we are very pleased and thankful for this product, as it has dramatically decreased (almost eliminated) the mindless barking at nothing, and definitely has made a dent in the other occurrences as well. Thank you!
Steven S.
Been using it for almost 2 weeks and no difference going to give it another 2 weeks if no results I’m going to return it
Alan S.
Meh, kinda works. You may have a better experience.
Susan R.
It doesn’t make me confident that it’s working like I want it to. I want absolute compliance/silence and that’s not the case.
Rick B.
Little dog still will not stop barking I guess that is ok because the other two goes to the other side of the yard to bark.
Lauren V.
The dog silencer Max worked beautifully, dogs quieted right down. life is good
Patrick D.
The dog was looking all around when he barked so the owner spotted the device and has now kept the dog in. He is now barking indoors very loud. Pitty it don’t work through glass patio doors. It’s a very good device. Thanks Patrick in Northern Ireland.
Joan H.
Best product ever!!!!!! Keep up the good work.
Jeffrey E.
Does not seem to work on my neighbors dogs, definitely effects my dog even though he doesn’t bark, maybe sending back. Trying to move it around and mess with settings but so far no help
Edmund S.
the little dog in the yard opposite mine is left out for hours and doesn't stop barking..the owners don't care..it also sets off other dogs barking.i called customer service and they guided me on how to set up my device. CS told me the most important thing is to have it pointed directly at the area of the barking dog without anything blocking it..So far it works GREAT..i can sleep at night with no early morning barking.i can relax in my yard and hear myself think..So far i love this device
Asten B.
I was VERY skeptical about this product. The 60 day mint back helped ease my mind. And you have to keep in mind it might not work on all dogs. That being said I was expecting three weeks for it take effect. NOPE! It started working right away! Even worked through the fence. Both dogs (1 small, 1 medium) have stopped barking and I’m not getting woken up at night! Problem solved without ever having an awkward conversation with the neighbors.
Kirsten H.
Died in the first rain storm. Didn’t survive being outside.
Dennis J.
I really have nothing good to say about this product. I realize it worked for other people, but it was completely useless for me. I tried it for months on three different neighbor dogs, and had zero results. The silencer itself has a cheap feel to it, like something that should cost significantly less than it does. It gets set off by wind noise, cars, basically any other sound besides dog barking, so there is no training effect for the dogs when it's just constantly yelling at them. Or if you turn down the sensitivity, then it doesn't pick up the barking. Wish I could return it, but it's been too long. Overall I was quite unhappy - especially for the price. your results may vary.
David
After asking nicely, our neighbors did nothing to address their constantly barking dog (from 7:15 am - noon every day). Both my wife and I work from home. I ordered the Dog Silencer Max. After three days (doesn’t work immediately as dogs have to lean what’s causing irritation), no more barking! Neighbors requested after 2 1/2 months to see if he’d been trained so gave it a try. A week later, back to barking self. They weren’t happy it went back up … but If they can’t keep their dog quiet, my Dog Silencer Max will!
Char N.
I bought this with the hope of getting some relief from my neighbors dog who barks up to 5 hrs a day when she leaves for work. Yes I've spoken to her about it several times. People become defensive about their pets. Anyway, the dog is always inside one of those small Ceasar dogs but if she gets spooked she begins to bark uncontrollably. The neighbor had already mentioned the dog has separation anxiety and "barks at the wind". I said you need to get her some help. I dont think it's fair to me to have to hear a barking dog all day when I'm not at work. I deliver mail and get paid to hear dogs bark. I don't want to pay my mortgage company to hear my neighbors dog bark. Make sense? This device DOES NOTHING! However, when I take it with me to work it does quiet the rowdier ones when they come within 5 feet. So I guess in a sense it works but not in the way it was advertised. Not worth the money I paid.
Tego D.
Did not work with my dogs.
Deborah E G.
Although I set up the silencer as instructed, the neighbor's dog has learned to go onto the screened in porch or under the kid's trampoline where the signal is blocked. This dog barks loudly every 3 seconds for 5-6 hours at a time, until the owners return home and let it inside. Happily, I do have some control with the remote, however, and use it repeatedly for about 15 minutes before the dog stops barking, for intervals. By the way, I'd like to know if I can replace the battery in the remote, or must I buy a new remote when the battery dies.
Elliot N.
The bark control device was about to suppress three of four dogs of my neighbor's. One dog just barks right through it. I won't blame the device on that though.
What I have been disappointed in is that the thing seems to break within 3 months. The speaker just goes quiet. It "works" but it obviously isn't going to be effective. They replaced my first one but now that replacement has broke. I'm going to reach out again about the second unit that broke but, I wish that these things had some longevity.
Andrew -.
I've been using this device for a few days now and have noticed an immediate reduction in barking from my 2 dogs. The device doesn't seem to detect their barking that well. It has missed a few barks and it has also incorrectly detected barks from other noises. In particular - if we set anything on the table beside the device - it seems to go off. However - despite the problems with bark detection - it is working. We use the remote control to sound the alarm - and when it goes off my dogs immediately run away. They definitely seem hesitant around the device. So in that respect the device is working so far :)
Logan A.
I've lived in my home for 9 years and have had to put up with two annoying barking Beagles this entire time. Neighbors themselves are very friendly but are extremely rude when it comes to controlling their barking dogs. I purchased and installed two Dog Silencer Max devices and mounted them on a couple pieces of 2x4s (in the picture) facing the neighbors backyard. It took about 2-3 weeks before I noticed a difference in the dog barking. I can say the barking has decreased about 80-90 percent. It does not stop the barking when the dogs are being played with or when there are neighbors out in the yard working however it does control the "boredom barking" where they just sit and bark at NOTHING. That has almost completely disappeared.
The dogs are about 100+ feet from the devices themselves so I am pushing the detection limit but I can trigger the devices with the remote if I feel they are not picking up the barking. I tried alkaline and lithium batteries, alkaline only last between 2-3 weeks and lithium was only a few days longer. I want to purchase the solar packs but where I have to mount the units there is not enough sun in the area. I ended up running extension cords along the outside of my property and along the back fence to power both of them (in picture) this allows the devices to run max power 24/7 without ever having to worry about battery life. MUCH BETTER!
I am extremely impressed with how well these work and I was a huge doubter. My advice is to give these devices at least 2-3 weeks before you decide if they are working or not. Changing the batteries is annoying so I would recommend the solar packs or running direct power. I will be purchasing two more of these devices to cover my entire back fence area.
Michael L.
My retired neighbor has 4 dogs. 2 of them are Dobermans. One is old. The Dobermans are viscious and have attacked my Dachshund, then attacked me when I was trying to get my dog back.
Old dog and Dobermans barked constantly, so I gave this a try.
The Dobermans QUIT BARKING immediately. They don't even come to my side of their yard anymore.. it's absolutely amazing and beautiful..
Old dog is deaf so it really doesn't affect him, but he barks by himself now instead of the 3 of them always barking.
His barking barely bothers me now, because I know that when he barks it causes the Dobermans discomfort!!! I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!
Geordie A.
Hardly affected my dog at all. He keeps barking all the same. I notice a slight hesitation and lowering of the bark here and there, but generally speaking, this product appears to be pretty useless for a stubborn barker.
Buzz L.
for months we have been tormented by the neighbors dogs right across the fence line. all that it took was to step out of our front door that would set off three yappy dogs. Got your device on Saturday. today, Sunday, my wife and I sat outside basking in the quietness. the dogs now stays on the other side of their property and with a touch of a button we can still reach out and touch them when they bark.
thank you so much!
Neal R.
Doesn’t seem to stop much barking, have tried both settings, and have 2 of them, only the bark collar stops the barking of these Pyrenees
Kay R.
It works very well!
Ashley C.
My dog barks VERY loudly. The neighbors were complaining so I purchased ultimate bark control right away! My dog doesn’t bark when I leave home anymore she’s super quiet now I love it!
james S.
OMG! This product is great! For years I have been dealing with my neighbor's annoying dogs. This product worked almost immediately. Now after years I can finally start to enjoy my backyard again. I am telling everyone I know about this product.
Thanks,

I installed the device on a temporary PVC pole roughly in the center of my yard because I have neighbor dogs in a nextdoor home and in the home to the rear of my home.
The device has been somewhat successful. The larger dogs have learned and have curbed their barking substantially, but the little yappers don't appear to be smart enough to learn.
Although, they do seem to be somewhat discouraged and the continual barking has lessened.
Jane W.
Doesn’t stop the barking 1 bit. The device is on the shelf, the clicker can be right in front of them. Doesn’t stop them at all.
Dean B.
Paid a lot of money for this unit and the solar charger. It’s been almost a month since I’ve had it installed and neighbors dogs are barking just as much as they’ve always have. I’d say this doesn’t work and I’m very disappointed.
Kevin
If this machine has worked for you and your dog barking problems, that’s awesome. Consider yourself lucky.
However for me, for what I spent on this, and all the good it has done, I should have just kept my money and bought earplugs.
I have this device approximately 100ft from the dogs and it has done NOTHING to stop them from barking. I have tried the ultrasonic mode and the audible mode and it’s as if the device isn’t even there. There is nothing obstructing the device, and it’s plugged in and not operating on batteries. Reading additional information recently revealed that this device does not particularly work with German Shepherds.
Unfortunately the return window has passed, otherwise I would have it in the mail tomorrow.
Louise K.
Neighbors who will not discipline or train their two mutts tried to block the unit at my first install. So.....this old lady who loves to garden and having dogs charge her along the fenceline IS NOT tolerated and she has the tools....got out the ladder and strapped the dog silencer 25 feet up onto a fir tree. Covers their entire yard. There are a couple of spots hidden by a motorhome, but otherwise, PEACE. Worked so well I got one for their front yard as well. I LOVE THESE UNITS!
Do you have one that works on people?
Mateena H.
I was pretty skeptical because my neighbors 2 german shepards would bark at EVERYTHING. For the 6 years we have lived in our home they would come to the corner of their yard just to face our yard to bark at us, and we are even 50+ feet away. They had 4 dogs in this time frame. So their new pups were watching the older ones coming and barking in the corner at us. So me and the other neighbor were losing our minds. We would just play in the yard with our kids and they would just come and bark the whole time to where I was messaging their owner if they could get the dogs so we could enjoy outside without the barking. We could even hear it inside our home with our windows and doors shut!
I tried a couple other bark machines and they did nothing. I decided to splurg on this because clearly the owners were not going to do anything about it and my sanity is priceless. I asked my other neighbor if I could attach it to their tree right in front of where the fence is where the dogs come to bark. TRUST THE PROCESS. It took about 2-3 weeks for it to really take effect and IT DID!!! I almost NEVER even see them at the corner of their fenced yard ever anymore!!!! It truly does work. Now we are blissfully happy enjoying out outdoors in peace.
Mike C.
This alarm is not loud enough and you cannot change the frequency
Dale B.
When I first hooked it up the dog barked 3 times then stopped. The next morning the wife said the dog barked nonstop for 3 hours. Thought the dog was suffering. Then after that I only turned it on at bedtime (which is when neighbor let's the little puke out). It seems to work intermittently since using it off of AC current. The plus side I have it in my upstairs window and doesn't effect my dog downstairs.
Carolyn H.
We are still working to find right sensitivity. If I turn it up 1/3 of the way the dog slinks around the house and won’t get out of he bed often.
If I turn it down to the lowest level
It does not prevent barking.
William B.
Love this product!! The non stop baking dog next door is barely barking now.
Jan H.
This is our second purchase over 10 years. The "Max" is the best and worth the money. Our neighbor's would not stop the barking so we decided to do it ourselves. It works. We've only used it on smaller dogs so don't have an opinion about big dogs. We were losing our minds in our own yard.
Breanna T.
Absolute Game Changer.
Out dog howls like he's being strangled when he's left outside. The neighborhood probably has hotlined us many times. But he's not being abused, it's just how he shows his displeasure. We have tried collars, clickers, and everything in-between for 7 years now nothing has worked. This device stopped it in a day! Five stars. Also unintentionally quieted the neighbors dogs too. So glad we found this, wish we had found it sooner.
Jim T.
I had been living in my house for two years dealing with a neighbors two Pit Bulls that barked constantly. My neighbors would actually go away for the weekend and leave their slider open with a magnetic screen, so the dogs could go out when they wanted and bark at 2 am. One day while I was out on my deck and the dogs were barking at us a friend told me about good life and I decided to give it a shot this spring before all the trees filled in. It took about two to three weeks, but those dogs never make a peep anymore. I doubt the sound is penetrating the trees and bush anymore, but it doesn’t matter. I guess the dogs have been trained. I haven’t heard them once this summer. Even when I am out on my deck. And they are pretty far from the unit. Probably at the max distance if not further. Maybe it’s a coincidence that two dogs who use to bark all the time at nothing never bark any more, but I don’t think so. Thank you for letting me finally enjoy my deck. On the downside his two watchdogs aren't very good anymore.
John C.
Something like this is hard to determine how well it works. I bought it to quite, or at least decrease the barking of the neighbor's Lab across the street. I also have that neighbor's a Mastiff and a Shepard who gang together and bark at anything that within 300'. I had tried this brand Bark controller and determined that the dog across the street was too far away. The other dogs hadn't moved in yet. I sent it back for a refund. Easy. This time I bought the Max model and I put it a tree closer to the Lab. The results are in the gray area. A little less but not what I was hoping for. However, the two other dog's barking has got a LOT better. I think the Lab across the street is deaf or just too stupid to connect barking to uncomfortable noise. Since a dog can only be as smart as it's master, I think the latter is the case. Try it and if you don't see results just return it.
Terry T.
Im sorry but the device did not work. I have returned it. Your customer care said I need to give it up to 3 weeks for it to work. I let them know they should put that in the there advertisement. Then we as consumers can decide if that is the route we would like to go. Please consider this. Because most would like the device to work emediately. This was not conveyed.
Abbey T.
Worked great!! After the third day, zero barking. Had to use it on the highest setting, but it worked. So grateful as we live in an apartment and we had complaints.
Larry P.
It's working great.
David R.
I have a ADD Red Hellion. To call her a red heeler is an insult to nice hard working dogs. She would bark at grass growing, paint drying and air standing still. My country neighbors and I mean country neighbors, non complainers were like "REALLY!" I Installed two units at the perimeter of the backyard, facing inwards. Turned them on and within 15 minutes my Red Hellion tried them out. After the first bark I actually saw my dog flinch and her ears laid back. She look around like "what the heck!" She tried another bark and received the answer I hoped she would. She then proceeded back inside the house. Your product works. Thanks
Doug K.
My wife is very happy. I simply ask her if she's noticed a difference and her answer is a very positive 'YES'!
Jennifer B.
No difference in the dogs' behavior. They still come right up to the fence and bark/harass my dogs. It was worth a try but not effective. Tried using the remote too and it doesn't do any good.
Michael R.
I believe the unit works. The dogs don't stop barking right away but after about 2 or 3 minutes of listening to the bark control they eventually stop. I have to rig the transformer because the first set of batteries were worn out in 2 weeks.
Judy B.
My neighbor has 3 dogs. This works on the little one but the bigger dogs, they run to middle of yard and continue to bark. For the larger dogs you need something stronger and I don't know if there is such a thing.
Sarah B.
Ive been running out of options with my dog. I have to work and she likes to be outside. But shes very reactive to people or animals walking by or barking. Ive tried most things. We’ve done training, bark collars, etc but nothing works. At the end of the day she just likes to bark. I bought this with high hopes and while it does reduce her barking slightly, it really isnt as amazing as I had hoped. We've been using it for 3 weeks so ill give it some more time. But again, not the best.
Leah R.
I purchased this for my neighbors dogs, who bark incessantly if they're gone. The bark trainer worked great for about 6-8 weeks, now it seems to have quit working. Very disappointing for as much as I paid for it.
Angela H.
Neighbors have 3 dogs. It works for 2 of them. The other one, not so much
Matthew T.
Unfortunately the product did not work at all. I followed all instructions and was patient for weeks to see any kind of positive result. But it almost seems like it motivates the dogs to bark more...
Wade E.
It doesn't seem to have slowed them down. There are two large dogs that get each other going.
Stacey S.
The Ultimate Bark Control has been the greatest investment we ever made in our home. Our neighbors have always had dogs that bark constantly when they are outside. After years of going inside when the dogs are out or just having to listen to the non-stop barking we finally decided we had to do something. We purchased the Ultimate Bark Control and within a week the dogs no longer bark when they are outside. It has been the most amazing summer for our family. We are outdoor people and enjoy sitting on our screened porch and working in our yard. For the first few days after we installed the UBC the dogs would come outside and bark a couple times, but then immediately want to go back inside. It did not take long at all for them to be trained to the point they now come outside and don’t bark at all. I highly recommend this product. I wish we would have discovered this product 15 years ago!!
Barbara R.
Very nice neighbors, but their dog barks constantly, which they appear oblivious to. The barking improved immensely immediately. Now, 4 weeks later, I believe the dog finally understands the correlation! I would definitely recommend this product.
Mrs. Smith, Ohio
This used to be my life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW_s6EqOxqY but not anymore! i still cant believe this little box is doing the trick. worked right away. neighbors dogs would cry/howl during the day they missed their humans. now only hear a little bit once in a while. Boy i hope this thing keeps working. i still dont believe it. thanks for giving me back my quiet country life.
Alan J.
Insensitive neighbor decided to put a dog house /dog run very close to the property boundary nearest to my house (also nearest to my bedroom window). Two large dogs began what seemed like a barking contest every morning when the owner left for work. A request to move the cage/run was ignored. I mounted the Ultimate Bark Control in a tree near the fence line. It took a couple of weeks (not sure what the average learning curve is for dogs), but the results eventually became apparent. At first the dogs would bark for a minute or two (instead of twenty) and then stop. After two weeks, they stopped almost entirely. A couple of barks when occasionally disturbed is all that occurs now. I tested this positive outcome by taking the UBC down for a day to change batteries. The dogs immediately resumed lengthy barking sessions. I put the UBC back in the tree and they settled down immediately. A couple of suggestions: the woodgrain "camoflage" cover doesn't really hide the UBC. I spray painted it in grays and dark browns to match the particular tree I was using, which worked just fine. Also, a design issue: the small green LED light which activates when the UBC goes off is on the front of the unit. At night it is quite bright and gives away the location of the device. I put a piece of tape over it so the neighbor won't see it. I suggest adding a cover to this light (similar to the rubber cover for the power switch/intensity roller), but moving this light to the back of the unit would be a better idea. I want to see that the UBC is working, from a distance, but not alert the neighbor to it's presence. Better yet would be a Bluetooth connection to my phone so I wouldn't have to stand outside looking for a little light in a tree when I hear a bark. All that said, the UBC is impressive, and has made my life much more peaceful. If a neighbor's dog is out of control, this thing really works. Highly recommended.

The dogs that were barking were across the street. So i don’t know if the distance was a factor in its performance. it did not seem to have any effect. Maybe I was too impatient.

This product worked well for us! We were so shocked when our neighbour (nicely) told us that our dog was barking in a continuous and distressed way inside when we would go out. He would start as soon as we left. But was always so fine and quiet as soon as we came home, so we had no idea!
We placed the Bark Control indoors in the lounge room on top of the piano (which is a low type of piano) that faced the room in which he was mainly in.
Right from the first time that we used it, it has been successful in eliminating the barking. We feel much better knowing that he is not stress barking and that the neighbours are also not being affected by it. I would recommend this product, it is easy to use and really works.
