PetSafe Outdoor Bark Control - Dog & Puppy Ultrasonic Howl Control PBC19-11794
If yours or your neighbour’s dog is driving you bonkers with his barking, help is here! Our ultrasonic outdoor bark control unit looks like any ordinary birdhouse that can hang in a tree, on a fence post or anywhere outside. It detects barking from up to 50 feet away and has 3 range settings. Whenever your dog – or your neighbour’s dog – barks, he will hear a safe, high-pitched sound (inaudible to humans) that will cue him to stop his annoying habit.

BARKING - What works best?
Ultrasonic – These products have a good success rate but some dogs might ignore the sound. If the dog is old, has a reduced hearing range or is on the stubborn side the chance of it working will be reduced. For example a dog left out in a garden that barks at birds or other low level concerns would find the noise annoying and probably stop or reduce their barking but a dog that is guarding or has separation anxiety may still bark through it. If using ultrasonic units for multiple dogs you may find some will still need collars. We have successfully quietened multiple dogs in our training kennels by fitting the ring leaders with collars and then using ultrasonic units for the rest.
Spray – These have a very good success rate as most dogs will find it hard to ignore the spray correction. The jet of spray surprises the dogs and works on all of their senses because they can smell it, feel it, see it and hear it. However, strong willed dogs may still ignore these spray corrections and some dogs might get used to them over time.
Static correction – This deterrent type is literally 99.9% effective. It has a very high success rate as dogs cannot ignore static surprise because although the corrections start at low level the strength of the correction increases if the dog tries to ignore it. Static correction aids sell better than any other type. Please note that timid, nervous or very small/toy dogs rarely need static correction models and for these dogs we recommend you try a spray correction model first.
