ultrasonic dog

I’ve tried the bark controllers, the citronella spray, the ultrasonic sound device, puttig peanut butter on his nose, putting him in a crate everytime he’s barked, spraying him with water everytime he’s barked. Nothing has worked, he doesnt’ bark when he’s inside, only when he’s outside. I live in a mountainous area and think there are wild animals in the far distance, and that may be causing it.
I did get the shock thing, it worked for the first month, then he started going crazy and barkng louder when he’d get zapped. and i felt it was inhumane at that point, so i started using the other methods.
i work most of the day so i ony spend like 4-5 hours of my time with him when i get home, i just wanna send him outside around 12 midnigh till morning. if i do end up talking with it, problem is, he starts barking even more to grab my atention in the future.
I walk him 3 times a week for like 3-4 miles each time, he’s a white german shepherd.

Does anyone know if electronic/ ultrasonic pest control (like riddex or sunbeam) harm pet birds? I know that it doesn’t bother cats or dogs.

ultrasonic dog

Hi, I got a ultra sonic bark collar for my dog and fortunately he does not like the sound (I have friends whose dogs totally shrug off the sound) but unfortunately this collar is going off even if he bumps into things so he is getting really paranoid. I like the collar because with a 9v battery it has lasted months (unlike some other collars, esp shock ones) but I could use something that say takes vibration into account before sounding off (ok, and something that escalates the sound if he continues barking would be nice as there have been a few occasions where he does shrug it off [only about 3 times in 4 months so far]).
For the record, I have found the perfect collar (http://www.amazon.com/SportDOG-Rechargeable-NoBark-Control-Collar/dp/B00173CWDW/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1295088958&sr=8-7) rechargeable, can escalate, etc… except its a shock collar (For my dog I know that the ultrasonic one is sufficient)
Hmmm, apparently there are some ESL’ers reading this. I found, did not buy the shock collar, it is perfect in its functions except it shocks. As for the training, we have tried, for months now, has not worked.

dog silencer

Its pretty funny to hear how people think it is overpowered. i think it is a waste of a perk. you run too slow, chances are you have a silencer which does nothing unless your trying to hide, they are probably wearing hacker which is a waste too if you have good vision. i mean if you shoot down kill streaks from good angles and keep spyplanes outta the air whats the point of using. its funny cause i have never met one remotely skillful person who would want to use ghost. I average 33 kills and 7 or 8 deaths on summit using lightweight pro sleight of hand pro and marathon pro. i believe those are the best killstreaks cause by the time you show up on radar your at least 30 feet away haha. and on larger stages just using hardline pro seems better than ghost. Maybe i am missing something but personally i dont have a problem with it. i am just tired of hearing my teammates complaining cause they stare at radars 24/7. it was the same with crouching in halo 3 but mlg took out radar haha. So please everyone chime in. feel free to leave your fav class setup too.
mine is: m16 red dot
machine pistol
lightweight pro
sleight of hand pro
marathon pro
stun and semtex and claymore
killstreaks. mortar sr71 and dogs

thanks for readin.

neighbors barking dog

okay my neighbor has an English Setter 2 German Shorthaired Pointers and a Pointer…well the English Setter barks CONSTANTLY see our houses are kind of close together and their backyard is fenced in…her dog barks at me the second i step out the door…no matter what…he even barks at me inside my house b/c he can hear me inside my house…my neighbor cant shut them up either…she tries and he keeps on barking…she even has shock collars and as soon as the battery dies the dog starts barking again…im sick of this…its to the point where im miserable at my own house…ive done everything…squirted him with the waterhose…screamed at him…threw stuff at him…idk what else to do…and no i cant call the police…i live in the county theres nothing they can do about a barking dog…what can i do?
i cant bring him to my home…i own 4 dogs also…i prolly have done a lot of things he doesnt like…b/c ive tried and tried and tried to shut his ass up and i never can…i mean sometimes i want to get a gun and shoot the dog…i know that sounds cruel but i really feel like it sometimes
no i cant do that either…thats one reason why he barks is b/c i tried to shut him up once and gave him a little bit of dog food…well guess what? now everytime i come outside he wants me to feed him something!
DogCrazy: i done your idea and gave him a dog bone and he is finally quiet…i will tell my neighbor when she gets home that i gave her dog and bone so he would be quiet (she doesnt get mad about stuff like that)

dog deterrent

I am 23 years old and I’ve lived in America my entire life. I am thinking about moving to Australia (Melbourne to be exact) and would like some tips on things I need to prepare for and some information on their cost of living. Will I be welcomed? Will it be easy to find a job? I have visited websites that show many job opportunities but I am curious to know if being an American will be a deterrent for employers there. I will be bringing my dog, will he need to be quarantined?

Any information you can supply me about any and everything is much appreciated.

Thank you!

ultrasonic dog

I have some major problems with a neighbor and his dog barking into all hours of the night. I tried purchasing a ultrasonic device that is supposed to stop neighborhood dogs from barking but it doesn’t work. I looked into why and the decible rating just isn’t high enough.

So I bought a 152db train horn. This thing is incredibly loud as you can imagine. In fact it’s loud enough that if you’re about 10 feet away it will give you an upset stomach. You can actually "feel" the sound inside your body.

I’ve altered the horns so they emit their sound at around 22000 to 21000 hz and I believe. I know I cannot hear the sound but it’s blatantly obvious the neighbor’s dog sure can.

My question is, is being around this harmful to one’s hearing? Since a human cannot hear this hz sound but it is being emitted at such a level can it cause hearing damage?

ultrasonic dog

I have been looking at several antibark devices to stop the 5-6 dogs my neighbors have in their backyard from ruining my day by waking me up many times while I sleep.

There are several on the market, including a few on EBay that have mixed feedbacks. Most all are automatic ultrasonic units. One did claim to be better because it was manually activated so other noises won’t set it off.

I have worked with the police/court system on this before and got it to stop. Problem now is that after 1 1/2 of the dogs being stored inside their garage, they have built a fence. Now the dogs are in the backyard again barking.
However it is not as constant as when they were kept out there on chains before. It will be considerably harder to go to court with it this time since they don’t bark over 10 minutes straight like before.

They bark now for a few minutes and just about the time you go to sleep again they fire back up.

And no, killing them is not an option.
I have used ear plugs in the past. Generally I roll over and they fall out. I even tried the expensive wax kind that forms to your ear.

I also have run a fan on high. Problem is the barking is so loud it won’t begin to cover it up. Not even close. A TV set on really loud does good to be over top of it.
These aren’t bark collars, they are boxes that emit sound when a dog barks.

If they bark for longer periods I can file a civil suit. I was close a couple years ago when they agreed to put them in their garage.

My lawyer found a VERY similar case where the person in my shoes won and was the only complainer, right here in my state.
Does anybody here have an recommendations on a specific device? There are about 5 on the market that I see.
