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 :)

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.

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.

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.
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.
Nathan L.
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.
Miia P.
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.
Trevor P.
Can I start out by sating that we are doggy people who have owned dogs almost all of our 70(ish) years and understand that dog do bark.
In line with the product description, device had to be lifted above the fence-line (approx 2M) to have any effect. I placed in into our lemon tree with a line of sight direct into the backyard of the back neighbour. We have 2 dogs on our back fence and another 2 on one side fence.
On the back fence, I think the main protagonist was mentally deficient as it barked almost continuously and nothing deterred it. The older, bigger dog in the same yard seemed to figure out that he could bark without any problem but the new device definitely had a deterrent affect.
The dogs alongside were spurred into action by the demented dog at the back, and when I activated the device in their direction, it again, definitely had a deterrent affect.
In the end, I made a written complaint to our local council who attended on site to our neighbours the very next day. Happily, the barking, particularly behind us, ceased almost immediately and has only been intermittent since then.
I have loaned the device to a friend and am waiting for his reaction to its effectiveness as he has his problems with his own dogs and will not have to deal with fences.
Dean B.
Barks x 1 then stops. Very effective
Jandi C.
I am soooo glad we got this product! It has helped tremendously with the constant barking we used to hear from our neighbor’s dogs!!
Bob H.
So far ,so good. It's controlling 3 dogs in one small back yard.
Batteries have lasted since I installed it, but will change them soon.
Thanks
Barbara R.
Our neighbors dog barks constantly at us and our dogs. We mounted the no bark device approx 50 feet from where she spends most of her time barking, and had high hopes for improvement. There was NO reduction in barking over a trial period of about 4 weeks. Batteries were changed weekly and the product was emittin the sound when we utilized the audible function. Very disappointed.
Steven S.
The dog bark day and night.! Put this in place within 8 hours to barking ceased! He continues to bark. After a session of his barking 5 to 10 minutes it's quiet again highly recommend this product all my neighbors are wondering why the dogs have stopped barking I have not told anyone that I put it up
Robert L.
LOVE this product (to be honest was skeptical) !!
Our neighbors across the street bought a dog 1 year ago and did not train it properly, when it barked outside they would sweetly call it's name and ask it to stop. So needless to say the dog learned to bark often and loudly to get attention which would then set off other dogs in the neighborhood... uhg!!! The dog actually started barking more and more...
A friend told us about Dog Silenser Max months ago but I figured it was a gimmick... but after a year of barking I gave in and bought it along with the extension cable and positioned it under our hedges facing their backyard across the street (approx 50 feet away).
OMG... it worked immediately. The first day or two I would use the handheld remote to trigger the unit every time the dog barked on top of the automatic built in sensor, I figured an extra high pitched blast to reinforce the seriousness of the "bad habit" would be good. The dog would actually "grumble" and then lie down on the lawn all submissive. By day 3 I no longer needed to use the remote, the auto sensor was enough and the barking has no ended... we can sit on our porch again without the constant sound of barking.
I can honestly say that for the past 2 months the only time the dog barks is if another dog walks past the yard, and only 1 or 2 barks which is fine. And because it no longer barks the other 2 neighbors dogs hardly ever bark either... This product is a god-send!!
Terry V.
Works extremely well, I wish I could afford another but unfortunately I having to replace my wife's cell phone now. Nice job!
Cheers, Terry

I purchased this to stop my near neighbours dogs from barking, they are various dogs in close proximity and once one barks it starts the others off, I placed this in a tree about 6” above my 6ft fence, a certain dog is let out around 3-4 times a day, since I have had this device plugged into an electric socket I have noticed a drop in the barking, it’s been up for around 3 weeks now, I notice the dogs bark for around 2-3 minutes then shut up, early days yet but I am persisting with it, at least we are getting a bit of piece & quite now and start to enjoy the outdoor space, this product is by far much better than others I have purchased but worth it even at the more expensive cost, just a shame it did not come with a 3mtr cord, that’s why I purchased the extension cord, I have the option to move it around the garden, I did not want to run it with batteries, my personal choice, buy with confidence and stop those nuisance dogs barking, Thx
Robert G.
My dogs do not bark as much at all once I started using this product.
Dave S.
It seems to be working, i'm glad. thanks
John T.
This is only mildly effective for the neighbors two dogs who are no more that 60 feet away. I would not recommend this product for annoying neighbors dogs.
Keetie H.
It did nothing to quiet the neighbors dogs. They have 4 small yapping dogs and it never phased them. The unit was within 20-30 feet at all times.
Susan L.
We put the Ultimate Bark Control device on one of our garden stake poles, which is quite high, to keep out deer. It is high enough to sit above our neighbor's 6-foot privace fence. She has a Border Collie that was making us crazy--nonstop barking from the time she got home from work until the time she took the dog in (late) in the evening. On weekends, it was all day Saturday and Sunday, from early AM to later PM. The only break we got was when she went out of town and took the dog with her. After about two weeks of using the device, the barking drastically decreased. We are also fairly certain she heard the device going off and figured out that we had installed it. She does not leave the dog out anywhere near as much any more, and when he is out, the barking is very sparse. Thank you so much for helping us to get this problem under control and get some rest from this!
Steven S.
Had unit at property line and neighbor flipped out, so I moved it toward back of my house. Now I have only 40’ range instead of 75’. So unit only works when dogs are closer to property line. However, when we are outside and we hear the dogs, we use the remote. Does not seem to do much though. Don’t think unit is helping much if at all. We have trees that form a border, but are not yet forming a wall yet, so not sure if they hinder effectiveness.
Irene B.
great great tool!! - works terrific! used manual mode to stop barking at night. works terrific! Dog stops immediately!
jeff f.
Tried it for a few weeks didn't do anything to stop neighbors annoying labs.
Tried adjusting sensitivity nothing worked. I dont see this being effective
Randolph L.
Shut that damn dog right up. He turned tail and ran into his house as fast as you can say "lickety-split"! Thank you!
Joe B.
A new neighbor moved in about a year ago with a dog that constantly barked morning, noon, and night! I was growing resentments toward the poor dog but realized it was the owner who failed to train him properly. At first I tried to approach the owner but was met with hostility. So I purchased the Dog Silencer Max and I trained his dog not to bark! It took a few days but the dog has now been quiet and has stayed quiet! Some of the other neighbors wondered why and I told them about my Dog Silencer. We are now well armed all threats to our peace and sanity!
Mike N.
Worked great. Neighbors have three dogs that would bark for hours on end, especially if you were outside. Now they go to the other side of the house along the street to bark.
Kristin M.
Well I'll start by saying it definitely works. Maybe too good though. My dogs hide behind bushes and under the stairs. I have the sensitivity turned down and everything seems to set it off. Birds, wind, anything really. I had to stop using it because I felt like it was torturing my two labs. It's unfortunate.
Victor W.
seems to work quite well, but there is quite distance involved. The only problem I have is setting the correct balance of when the unit is activated. Therefore I have just set it to lowest point and only activate it manually as required. Any tips would be welcome
Leon P.
I had every bit of faith this device would save me from incessant barking from hell, it just did not. I've literally placed it at the chain link fence no obstructions in the dog face adjusting the volume to no avail. Maybe the dog is from hell and the device would work for others, for me not the case.
Carol G.
It was working soooo good that someone jumped over our fence and stole it. Too bad our outdoor camera was not on that day. I sure would love to know who took it. And I wish I was able to buy another one
Ed O.
It seems to work with the neighbor's dog. Non stop barking Babe non stop barking all night long.
Andrew P.
I mounted the Bark Control & Solar Panel/Charger to a 5 Gallon Bucket Lid. I placed in on my patio roof aimed at my neighbor’s house behind me to stop their obnoxious ankle biters from yapping all day and night. At times I use the remote to trigger it for faster results. And it works quickly and bringing quiet back to the air.
MARILYN D.
My dog would bark for long periods of time when I left for work or where ever, according to a neighbor. Now with the DogSilencer he only barks a couple of times and then stops.
Dena L.
I live in an apartment with upstairs neighbors who are working from home. I bought two units, one for my living room and one for my bedroom where my dog, Louie, looks out the window all day long watching for movement of any kind. These units work amazingly where nothing else could keep him from barking. It is painless but startling the instant he barks. Well worth the cost!!
Robert M.
Took two weeks but the dog stopped barking
Joanne D.
It worked great for the first few weeks, then the dog got used to it and now it has no effect. He tunes it out. Nothing is wrong with the unit. It’s my mother’s dog that is stupid.
CHRISTOPHER P.
Dog still barks…. I already called. Y’all offered me a call refund…… My response was I don’t want a refund, so want the dog to shut up!!!!!!
V. Stephen T.
It was down to call the cops daily and mess up neighbor relationships or find another option. This was the option and I'm so thankful that we found it. I mounted the control under the eves of our house so it covers the neighbors back yard. It took a couple of days before the barking slowed. After a week or two the barking almost stopped completely. We get a few short barks when the squirrels torment the dog, but at least the constant habitual barking is over.
Robert L.
I bought this for our dog that barks mostly just to respond to other dogs and sometimes territorial barking behind a block wall fence. We set it to the lowest setting and then activated it via the button provided. She definitely heard it and stopped barking for about 5 mins. We praised her for not barking. Then we set it to react to her back automatically. it worked for the barking response behavior to other dogs but she completely ignored the sound when at the fence. We made sure it faced her and she was within the "sound cone" but it just didn't work. After a few weeks, we turned it up to be more sensitive and it just didn't get her attention. Great quality product and idea, didn't work in our case.
Randy B.
It was useless in the sense that for one there has to be a clear view of the dogs and secondly it does not work on hound and beagle dogs Indeed a waste of money
Winda K.
It doesn't work for both of my dogs :(
Robert S.
Unfortunately did not have any success with this product. My neighbors dog has a very particular place next to our chain link fence that he runs to and will not stop barking. I place the device directly in front of that spot 1ft from his face and he never stopped. Left it up for a couple weeks before batteries died. Charged it up and it’s still there. He still barks uncontrollably all day. Super disappointed this product couldn’t repel him.
Janet B.
Has done a little has been over a few months still working on the problem
James K.
They just shake their heads and keep barking.
Kim E.
It hasn’t stopped them completely but it’s way better than it was!!!!
Robyn S.
I attached the device to my back patio covering. I have two dogs, a lab/hound and a lab/pit bull. It was my lab/hound that was barking all the time. However, it upset him when it went off and he stopped wanting to go outside. At all. Plus it would go off randomly even tho no dogs in the area were barking. My dog is epileptic so I didn't want to push the issue and have him start having cluster seizures. I realize I could have sent it back put chose not to. Except for the fact that sometimes it goes off for no reason I think it's a good device and I may try using it again some day, just not with the dog I have now.
Tommie W.
We have tried everything to stop our dog from barking all the time. We tried shock collars, various scent collars and obedience school. Nothing worked until your product. We are very happy with the results and would recommend it to everyone with a similar problem. Thank you. TJW
Virginia S.
I got this for both my dog and the neighbor dogs. I thought this would send out a sound frequency that only dogs could hear. It doesn't, but it still worked out pretty well.
Micheal B.
I live in a community of very close homes. I had three neighbors with dogs that continuously barked day-and-night whenever let outside. Within hours after activating this device the dogs in the neighborhood were almost silent.
Those that attempted to bark were met with the silencer and would give up barking within seconds. I watched as my neighbors looked into my yard to see what it is I was doing to silence the dogs. Thanks to the camouflage silencer my neighbors were unable to detect what was eliminating the barking.
I laugh now watching my neighbor's dogs not even want to come out of the house for fear that one of the other dogs in the neighborhood would start barking.
This device has literally saved my sanity and the rest of the neighbors around me couldn't be any happier. The critics that say this device is cruel have no idea the anxiety and suffering I have been living with for over 12 years listening to these dogs bark night and day.
Summer N.
It’s unreliable. Mine is located on a high windowsill outside the garage. It Activates when birds are chirping and car doors are closed. I chose not to return it purely so the local council can see I’m trying to stop them barking and don’t take my dogs.
Tasha M.
I brought this machine because we live next to an untrained German Shepard that barks at the wind and birds in the air. We live in a town home and share a gate with our neighbors. We tried the egg, nest, and bird house machine to stop that monster and to no avail. Finally I looked up the best machine on the market to stop that crazy dog and this came up. I was reluctant at first, because of the price. However, it was on sale and comes with a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. So I went for it. My husband was skeptical, but you cannot put a price on peace.
I use my machine to train the dog and their humans. When she gets out of hand, I turn on the audio with the sonic sounds, that way the dog is freaked out and the humans know she is causing a disturbance.
Cons:
I hate that the dial is not numbered. It is hard to see which option you need when there is no measurement. So if you have the sonic sound to sensitive, the dog "could maybe" get desensitized...I don't know. You will never know unless you test it with the audio and that could get tricky as it will cause a lot of attention if you are trying to be discrete.
Also, you don't know if its too low.
A cool feature I would like for the money, and I am willing to pay for this peace, is if the remote was able to control the machine with me getting a ladder to constantly tweak it, and so that brings attention as well. The thing I am doing to combat this is leave my machine unplugged until the dog comes barking at us, then I plug it in, so I know I can properly train her. This doesnt work when you are upstairs and the dog is doing it to your kids outside.
For this reason, the remote should have all the options of the machine. Turning it up, off, down, audio. That's the point. As of know, it can only trigger the machine when the dial is turned all the way to low.
I really would like a set it and forget it, but this machine requires a bit of work. I would also like more options on the remote.
For these reasons, I gave four stars. Five stars would be perfect, it is almost there! The other machine I used previously, "supposedly" reached 50 feet. The dog is not even 50ft from us, and they did not work. The Dog Silencer sends her running and her people running out to save her from the noise. A win win. Sometimes, you have to train both dog and owner. Especially when they know their dog is nuisance and refuse to get it proper training. If their response is keeping her inside, GOOD! There are other ways to go, like contacting Seacca or fining them with my HOA, but I chose this way better. Its more peaceful, but at a cost.

Neighbors have 4 dogs I moved the device about 20ft away from where they bark and doesn't do anything to them.

Was sick and tired of my neighbors small dogs yapping all the time..put on a tree facing the dogs and plugged it in..it works awesome,!

The neighbor's dog used to bark all of the time. Since we used the device, the barking has decreased quite a bit. The dog still barks at times but we don't find that to be onerous. The dog is at the limit of the range described in the directions, so we may not have gotten the full benefit of the device, but the improvement has been significant.

I have 8 rabbit hunting beagles outside in a 20 by 30 pen. I bought your product to stop them from barking at feeding time and when seeing someone outside, and barking when seeing the neighbors cats in my yard. I think it's been about 4 weeks. I've tried it on both settings and it hasn't made much difference.

I have two Dog Silencer Max units. I have dogs on either side of my house that are left outside about 12-16 hours a day in the Las Vegas heat. The one dog is a moderate barker and and the Dog Silencer Max has done a great job of silencing this dog. On the other side of my house I have two neglected labs that bark at anything that moves. The Dog Silencer Max has reduced these two from barking all day too only barking in short spurts through out the day. Overall I am very satisfied. It's not the perfect solution but it's done a great job so far in the month that I've had them.

Sheltie next door has a long history of these types of bark control not working, and yours is no different. She stands there & barks at it!
On the good side, the "clicker" does seem to work better than other ones.
This is too expensive for what it is.

The dog still barks but does not continually bark it gives a bark and then stops is this how it is supposed to work . Life is so much better with out it continually barking. Had a bit of trouble with the neighbor to start with as she was complaining that the dog was traumatised .

I have thoughtless neighbors on both sides of me. Their dogs bark loud and continuously. Until I put three of these on my property line. On one side the dog completely quit barking, on the other side, they bark a few times and stop. The peace of mind and quiet is invaluable!

I have dealt with the new neighbors for over 11/2 years with their dog running up-and-down the fence line continuously barking, The neighbors wouldnt show Responsibility in trying to control they dog from barking, So start looking into dog silencers,, And from researching dog silencers, Dog Silencer Max from good life has been an excellent choice for me , Now he just looks over at me and doesn't bark. Thank you

I got this for my lab who barks at everything and everyone. The collars don’t work so I paid for this stand alone unit. I had it outside with the dogs since I bought it and the barking hasn’t stopped. It doesn’t work for my dog at all but he is stubborn so it might work for other dogs.

I noticed a big difference in just 1-2 weeks. This device has worked very well in stopping my neighbors' dogs from barking. It has become peaceful again.
