dog silencer

My neighbor has been complaining about my small dogs barking when I am not home. I have bought several items, including the Bark Off, which do no good to stop or even cut down on their barking. We live in a high traffic area that is close to a high school. There are teenagers walking by during much of the day and my dogs bark at them. I don’t want to have to get rid of my MinPin and Chihuahua.

I got the Dog Silencer Pro and set it up on our patio. I cannot tell that it is doing anything. According to the instructions it looks like it has to be pointing directly towards the dog in order to work. The instructions said it would not work through fences, walls, windows or doors & it may take up to at least 3 weeks before I notice anything. I have 30 days to replace it.

Although they say it should also stop nearby dogs from barking, I don’t see how that would be possible since all of our dogs have to be inside a fence or our home.

I would appreicate hearing about any experiences you have had, both good and bad, with various products used to stop your dog from barking.

Oh yes, I sure wish the Bark Off had worked; but, I got no results from using it. Does anyone have suggestions as to things I could be doing wrong?

I appreciate all replies.

neighbors barking dog

So my idiot neighbor bought this tiny dog, its annoying as hell, literally just woke me up in 7:30AM and I’m pissed as hell!

Neighbor is an idiot, a 70 year old woman who has nothing better to do than let her dog out in 7:30AM to wake up her neighbors. Typical low-life who enjoys bringing misery to others. But, I can’t do anything about her, unfortunately, she borrowed some money to my parents not a while ago, even though that has absolutely nothing to do with me, I can’t do anything about her. Now, onto the dog, it’s a bit far from my yard, so I can’t really throw anything at it, is there anything else I can try? Like a dog whistle? Will that help me? It literally barks 3 barks/second.
If I didn’t make it clear, the dog is outside. I don’t believe law is going to help me, so I need some practical solutions. Can I just use my speakers and a high pitch noise?

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)

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?

dog silencer

My neighbor’s dog would bark all night long and disturbs my right to live in a reasonable environment. At first I wanted to be nice to the neighbor but now it has reached my limit. Dog silencer wont work because his house is far (but the dog bark is so loud). He basically owns this farmland where he keeps his dog to watch and bark at his sheep or somehting so he is away when his dog barks. Writing a note to him wont work as I hear rumors from other neighbors that he is someone you wouldn’t want to argue because he is not nice.(I really don’t think he cares about anything as he lets his dog out there in the rain barking sometimes)
So I found a sheriff website where I can report barking dog problem, great, no answers. I sent out more than 5 letters, still no answers. I came to face the fact that they wont help me. If there is anything left I can do please help. (Please no answers like "shoot the dog with ashotgun" because Im serious and I really want to get this solved.)

ultrasonic dog

My neighbor has an annoying little dog that won’t shut up. Unfortunately she is also local councilwoman. We have spoken directly to them (before anyone called the police) in the friendliest manner possible and they simply replied that it doesn’t bother them so we should just deal. As she is one the council (and sets the police departments budget) the cops refuse to act. We (and our neighbors) have called the police multiple times but to no avail. Also my roommates have cats so they won’t let me get anything ultrasonic.
While I like the idea of going to the news I live in a small town right next to a large city so all our local stations are the city stations and there’s more than enough other stuff for them not to care. I’m not gonna lie I’ve thought about hitting it with a paintball gun or something but I couldn’t bring myself to abuse an animal.

ultrasonic dog

I have a 4 year old havanese and during the past year she has developed the bad habit of whining. I already keep her in an enclosed space with a comfy bed, a toy, the TV on, food and water. I got dog appeasing pharmones (DAP) which worked for a while, but not long. I also already tried the ultrasonic barking thing that emits an annoying noise when she barks. I think my last try is a shock collar because the neighbor keeps complaining and she works from home. What do I do?!?!

ultrasonic dog

My neighbor’s dog is left outside in his backyard all day. During that time, he barks incessantly. I cannot even turn on the television in my home or it will trigger crazy barking from this beast. When I go outside, the dog barks, growls, and acts as though it wants to kill me even though it has seen me a 1000x in my yard.

I have tried to talk to my neighbors and ask that they do something on numerous occasions. Nothing has happened. I called the police once because there is a dog barking ordinance in our city. But, the police told me it is very difficult to enforce since you have to show extraordinary barking over a long time (even though the police heard and saw the beasts angry, callous yowling and growls).

In addition, I have attempted everything from a ultrasonic bark control gadget to saying nice things to the beast to screaming in fury at him. Nothing works. I am at my wits end and want some peace in my own home.

dog deterrent

Alright, I just received a call from a past client. She has a kennel run for both her dogs, but one has started to guard the housing unit of the kennel, and the other dog won’t stop barking and whining because he can’t get inside, and her neighbor is complaining.
Another issue is that the kennel is about 100 yards from their house on the back side of their property so getting to the dogs in enough time to correct the behavior when it is happening is impossible for her, and I do NOT make 3 am. house visits to clients. She put an ultrasonic bark deterrent in the kennel run portion, and that has worked to cease the dog’s barking, HOWEVER, the dog with the guarding issues needs to be corrected, and the issue resolved. We’ve already removed one source of contention between the two from the kennel, but the fact still remains that there are 2 dogs in 1 kennel that is too small for the both of them.
I suggested the dogs be crated within the housing unit of the kennel so as to avoid the guarding issue, and that worked for a few weeks before the client explained that she had relented, and let the dog out because she could hear the dog whining and barking over the baby monitor she’d set up in the housing unit.
We’ve tried crating one, and leaving the other free, but that is still an issue. Because the one dog has issues being separated.
I recommended crating the dogs inside the house, but she is completely against that idea due to the inconvenience of having to fold away the crates every morning.
My most recent recommendation was to give the dog’s a freedom trial run. The dogs have a dog door that leads into the house’s attached garage, and I recommended leaving the kennel door open at night so the dogs could go in there, or into the garage. Our only concern with this is that the dogs may bark out near where the neighbor lives and cause her to complain again. (dogs are contained by an invisible fence.)
The fact the dogs are soo far removed from the house, and the client is borderline unwilling to adhere to my suggestions in regard to this issue is a bit of a challenge here, and I’m starting to run out of ideas that don’t include bark collars (I hate them, but the husband is thinking about using them)
I’m beginning to think that it would be best to use an e-collar on the dog guarding the kennel when he’s guarding it because the e-collar would offer the correction from a distance, but at the right time. Now, I would only instruct my client to use the pager setting, and the shock button would be taped off so there wouldn’t be any mistakes there, but I don’t really like this idea, and it’s a last resort sor of thing.
If any of you have any recommendations as to how to handle this I’d be grateful. I’m trying to offer them a cost effective solution, but I’m thinking their best bet would be to put in a second dog door on the housing unit of the kennel, and divide the kennel run with a fence so the dogs have their own housing unit and kennel run.
It is extremely irritating to try and help someone whose dogs are so decidedly removed from the family, and all the dog’s want is to be near said family. The dogs do well in the house, but the owners insist on having them outside at night. This is something I have told them repeatedly I’m not a fan of, but hey, that’s how they want it.
If it matters at all, the dogs are both 9 mo. old adolescent, altered males. One is a Catahoula mix (the one with guarding issues), and the other is a hound/lab mix.
They’ve done well with all the other training, but this one issue has just recently reared it’s ugly head, and I’m at a loss.
Hate to say it DOG, but you really should read the entire thing because if you had…you would know I’ve already, REPEATEDLY told them to do so, and they won’t.
I’m pet sitting for them on Saturday, and we’re going to schedule another session to "talk". I’m basically going to kindly put the hammer down on them, and let them know what needs to be done. After the initial training the way they’ve got the dog’s living is basically undoing all the work we’ve done.
Ironically, I’ve told them they need to walk the dogs, but they argue that the dogs get enough exercise running their three acre yard. I host pack walks around town, and have even invited them to join…offering to assist if need be.
It is becoming clear that they feel I haven’t done anything for them…in this area. Well, frankly, as you all know, I can’t do anything if they won’t listen to reason. SOOOOOO, the hammer will be brought!
