Neighbor has a stubborn hound dog. I can tell when the batteries I put in it are dead because the dog barks more. With this thing the dog barks once then stops. He still barks but not as much. I just hope the dog doesn't lose his hearing anytime soon.
Connie Y.
Love love love it! He came out to our fence gave a bark than halfway thru a second bark he stopped turned around and ran away. Haha it was sooo funny! Thank you for peace and quiet. Keith and Connie Young

I have the switch setting on (Audible) and I have adjusted the Sensitivity where it picks up the barking, but very few other noises.
After about 10 days in use of the Dog Silencer Max I’ve not noticed any change in my neighbor’s dogs, but I’m not ready to give up.
My neighbors raise Pit Bulls and they have a yard full. I was hoping there might be an accessory available for the MAX that would be more offensive to the dogs. Something with a much higher DB of ultrasonic frequency. At this point, I would even consider something that would rattle their windows (LOL).
Evan A.
Put the thing up against the side of the house under the soffit facing the yard with the dogs. I made sure there’s free line of sight to the dogs hoping that the bark sensor would pick up on the barks. It’s only about 30 yards to the furthest portion of the neighbors yard. I’ve tried adjusting the sensitivity and it just won’t work automatically. If I go out there and use the remote control it works great.. but that wasn’t the intent of the product or how I want to use it. I really wanted this product to work. Would not recommend.
Adam L.
It just goes off to any loud noise, when anyone is cleaning dishes or cooking, and even laughing to loud sets it off. The dog has learned to do "subwoofs" she barks just under the sensor, we make it more sensitive and she barks just under.
Also she started to make these strange crying/whimpering sounds that do not set off the alarm. The barking has gone down a considerable amount I just have to deal with peiriodic subwoofs and death cries now.
It makes a better people trainer to be honest. I had two noisy roommates and they are much quieter now. They do not bang around the kitchen in the morning. I wish I bought this ten years ago to train my humans.
Robert O.
Works great, much more peaceful in my yard now!
MICHAEL S.
Quieted down the hounds on the first day. Hand held unit returned since it confused the dogs when walking. Waiting on credit to be issued.
Murray M.
Dog is 250 feet away behind a fence. Dog barks whenever someone walks by. Too far to use the automatic feature but when I am home I use the remote. It seems to work but hoping it will survive our cold winters here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Dawn H.
A friend with dogs moved into a apartment. She is so very grateful for this gift. Now she doesn’t have to worry about upsetting her landlord or new neighbors. I knew this product would work because I’ve used it myself. It’s truly the best on the market for nuisance barking!
Max O.
Unfortunately it didn't work for any of the neighbors dogs. Not even as close as 15ft away. I figured that the neighbors dogs couldn't here it in both of my two home locations. Company was nice and gave me an RMA # to return it. Customer service was great.
Dennis A.
Sometimes it stops we have to keep pressing remote these neighbors are very mean and they dont stop their dog from barking it goes on for about 15 mins ir 20 it so aggravating
Conrad R.
Worked fantastic!! We used the remote option and got the neighbor dog’s attention immediately. Stopped the dogs barking within 2 days.
Melani Z.
It doesn't work AT ALL with or with out the remote. Either the dog is deaf, completely doesn't mind the sound, or the machine doesn't produce one.
Chris D.
It doesnt work at all. they still bark. Plan on shipping back
Amanda S.
Does not keep our hound dogs quiet. They bark so loud they don’t pay any attention to it
KARL B.
neighbors dog is a bullie breed very high pain tolerence dog silencer max stays plugged in ac outlet pointed directly at back yard doesn't seem to faze em at all. but i'll keep trying.
Carter B.
Just does not detect to the claimed range. My neighbors dog is 50 ft across the street, and a loud dog with a big bark. Not a busy street, and this thing doesn't detect the barking at all, and the remote is useless, as I am often asleep when the barking starts and don't want to have to use the remote all the time.
Willie B.
Tried it for 2 weeks . Did not impact neighbor nuisance dog at all. Returning for refund.
Jed M.
We have some great neighbors who have several dogs, one or two of which bark far too much. After several years of enduring it I decided to try this Ultimate Bark Controller. I mounted it to our house about 10 feet above the ground and pointed directly into their yard. I turned the sensitivity to max and set it on audible so I could tell when it was being triggered. Almost immediately it began to have an affect. It didn’t stop the barking completely or all at once, but over time it has greatly reduced the amount of barking and especially the needless barking. If people walk down the sidewalk the dogs still bark, but without anything to instigate barking their problem barkers are much quieter dogs now. This has helped out our neighborhood. Almost all of our neighbors have dogs and all of them bark too much, including our own dogs. However this device has helped reduce barking all around just by reducing the barking in this one yard. Don’t expect miracles, but you can expect results. Furthermore it does not appear to hurt any dogs in any way. I have not seen any painful reactions to the device. It seems to annoy them so they quiet down.
Janera J.
this does not seem to be silencing my dogs or the neighbors dog who is basically in my back yard. Any suggestions?
Trudy C.
The neighbor's 3 dogs come bolting out of the back of their house into the fenced yard, barking, several times a day, whether anyone is outside or not. If we are outside, they come right to our side of their yard & bark. I bought the Ultimate Bark Control & mounted it with velcro ties to the wrought iron fence on our upper terrace. It has been a godsend. In the beginning, when I went ouside, I took the remote control with me & zapped them every time a bark came out of them. The little white dog & the black Lab were the worst of the 3. If those 2 quit barking, then the old goldern Retiever did too. The Black Lab began to associate his pain as coming from our way. I could tell by the way he'd look over at me, if I was outside. At that point, he'd quit barking & mosey around his yard. The white dog took a litle longer to catch, whimpering a couple of times. All in all, it has reduced the barking by 90%.
Carl M.
I never write reviews, but this product is the best money I ever spent. We moved into a house and the neighbor's dog was barking nonstop. We tried talking to the neighbors but they didn't really care, hence why the dog is the way it is. I installed the dogsilencer and heard instant results, well, didn't really hear anything from that moment on. Peace and quiet. The dog seemed to realize pretty quickly that whenever it barks, it will get that ultrasonic noise, causing it to stop. If you're on the fence about purchasing, just do it. It works like a charm. Make sure to place it within earshot of a barking dog. I placed it under the roof overhang near the neighbor's fence. I couldn't be more pleased with the result of this product.
Dewey H.
I had it for about two weeks,mounted on a tree about 4 feet from the ground. Its aiming right at the Is neighbors dogs. Ranging from 3' feet to 60' away. They have four dogs, a Saint Bernard and three mutts . It has now affect on them whats so ever.
Charles M.
First I tried using batteries and no success now I’m using the plug-in transformer let’s see what happens if no success I will be returning it
Jorge
New neighbors let their large dog run wild barking at everything that moved. It got to the point where we couldn't enjoy our yard due to the barking and increasing aggressiveness of this dog. I bought the dog silencer max but was honestly skeptical of it working on this dog.
From the minute I powered it on we've had PEACE! The dog barks and either immediately stops or barks very softly a few times and stops. I walk in the yard and he just stares (certainly contemplating whether it's worth barking at me) or walks away.
We just had heavy rains and no problems at all.
Kevin K.
A really nice product, well made. I purchased the product based on reviews of other customers. I installed the device and set it according to the instructions. Unfortunately the device was completely unsuccessful in stopping my dog from barking like a crazy dog. It did not even reduce her barking. I guess that for some dogs the device just doesn’t curb the barking problem.
T S.
We had new neighbors move in last year - they had two dogs and they barked nonstop. If we even walked in our yard they would bark . If they heard us inside our own house, they would bark. If they saw our lights go on inside the house at night, they would bark. We were miserable - then I Googled and found this. IT WORKS! We installed it on a tree near the property line, and within a few days we noticed a huge difference. Now they will let out a few barks and stop. If they are on the opposite side of their yard having a bark-fest where the unit can't reach them (75 feet) we will use the remote (300 ft I believe) and they stop. Best ~$150 I have ever spent - it saved our sanity
JOHN L.
Putt it facing the b dogs pen, barked for about 15 minutes then stopped. No more.
Greta K.
We purchased this about 3 weeks ago for our neighbors dogs. They have 3 full grown collies, and 1 Bernese mtn dog. The collies all have a high pitched bark/screech and the bernese has a lower more normal sounding bark. So far, this has not worked on them. We have it mounted on the railing of our deck pointed directly at them, and they are anywhere from 20'-70' away from it and can still bark through it, it doesn't seem to affect them.
Our neighbor on the other side of us have an older mixed breed dog and he is further away that I have used the remote for him, and he seems to respond quicker than the other dogs.
Thankfully, our neighbors with the annoying collies are moving in a month. But hopefully we get someone else in with no dogs, or quiet dogs. We will keep this until then, but will probably be returning it because it just has not seemed to help at all, unfortunately.
jen c.
I see no difference honestly. And it goes off randomly for no reason at all. not a fan.
Dustin V.
It's been weeks. Doesn't seem to stop the barking.
Frederick C.
Works very nicely, mounted it on top of my garage pointed down into the neighbor's yard. Set the sensitivity on high. Within a couple of day it significantly reduced their barking, not completely, but than they now seem only to bark if there is a reason.
Julie G.
I'm using it inside for my two dogs and it's effective when the sensitivity is turned all the way down and we activate the sound with the remote. However, we've tried adjusting the sensitivity to pick up just the dogs' bark and not a louder noise (chopping food, pots hitting the counter, tv, etc.) and we have not found a setting that we trust for an automatic activation, which is really disappointing. We don't want to carry around the remote all the time. So it's an expensive purchase that doesn't work the way it's advertised :(
Brian M S.
Neighbor dog barking all night whose owners refuse to do anything about is the reason for purchasing this device. Unfortunately, though we had a clear line of sight and the dog was within 75ft its barking failed to activate the device. The control would activate manually but meant we would have to stand outside pressing the button all night. Even so we tried that, but the dog didn't seem to even notice. I think the device can work, just didn't in our circumstance and would not recommend not trying it. Staff of this company are great and helpful. As pointed out in literature, there is a difference between instinctive and habitual barking. Our problem is likely due to instinctive barking which may or may not be affected by the device.
Nolan G.
I have the little wheel set to max. The little green light flashes when they are barking. I tried hitting the button on the remote. The dogs are within 50ft of the unit. It's been over 2 weeks and no changes to the dogs behavior. I guess I'm just unlucky.
Johannes D S.
I Installed on my garage wall that is facing my neighbor back yard where the dog is outside 24/7 day and night I putt batteries after I have it installed with an extension cord not just on batteries and the dog is about less than 40 feet
I have it set to ultra and the higher range and the dog still barking like it is no divice there
I press the bottom too and same same he do not stop and I have it installed for over 3 weeks
Keith T.
Neighbor has two small dogs that stay inside and are put in the backyard barking without stopping until they are let back inside.
Installed bark silencer pointed over fence pointed directly at the neighbors back porch. Been there for about two weeks . Dogs still bark but seem to bark a little less.
Julia T.
It doesn’t seem to be phasing either or our dogs. One a puppy and one a 6 year old. I don’t like knocking products but I haven’t noticed the slightest change. Sits at the back door and barks to come in, and the unit is set up on the wall of the back porch
Brian P.
Have two problems with neighbor dogs: the come to the fence on the property line and bark, and they bark in their outside kennel which is on the other side of the neighboring property.
I purchased the basic unit, and it immediately made a difference in the barking behavior at the fenc line. So for that alone it is worth the money. However, it does not do a thing for the distance barking, as the unit will not trigger that far away. I would use the remote, but it does not work given the angel and distance from the house to where I have it mounted in the yard.
So, 50% of what I wanted this unit to accomplish was met. Hence my middle of the road rating.
Lisa B.
We have three noisy dogs next door. We followed the instructions and found that two of the dogs quieted down quickly. The other dog still barks a bit, but we are trying to take the unit down and then put it up again after a few days, so the dog may finally learn rather than barking over the machine sound. It may take some time but it is worth the effort. The long range (300 feet) was a must for us, and is worth the extra cost rather than buying a cheaper unit that won't carry the sound. Love this product!
Louis H.
This Barking Dog Device
shuts the mouth all my neighbors dogs
to a whimper from all 3 sides of my house in the back.
Bar NONE buy this.
Christie Lee L.
Doesn’t stop any dogs from barking at all. Not worth the money.
David H.
We had two dogs behind us that would have dueling barking contests many times of the day. I mounted the device on my tree and aimed it to cover the yard behind us and the yard next to that and a bit further away. We are amazed at how the unit has retained both dogs. Now we might hear 2 or three barks then silence. The smaller yappy dog will sometimes bark once, then a muffed bark, then silence. We and our other neighbors are so thankful to have the barking wars behind us!
Thank you for making an effective yet gentle bark deterrent.
Sincerely,
David Harkness
Steve E.
I have had my unit up and running for about three months now, and the results are phenomenal. The neighbours dog no longer barks and barks when she is outside. She will bark once maybe, then stop and she will not bark at all on my side of their property. Her behaviour has remarkably changed. Great product, does what it says it does.
Briana A.
So Iv bought this 2 weeks ago. It SEEMS to work. By “seems” I mean that whenever my annoying neighbors dog barked, the dog seemed to move away. However, yesterday the dog seemed undisturbed by the deterrant because he barked right close to where I had it. Today I will set it to “audio” so it can make that loud annoying sound when the dog barks. I’ll keep y’all updated. Hopefully this does work.
Levent A.
This seems to be a scam. I haven't noticed not an ounce of difference in the barking with or without this "device". For all I know it is an empty box. Doesn't do anything. Doesn't provide any output.
Rachael S.
This didn't work for us. We placed very close to the dogs in question but they are bluetick coonhounds and it did absolutely nothing to deter their barking. We gave it a few weeks before admitting defeat and returning it.
Kim Lye T.
The good life bark control pro is just around 20-30 feet from the barking dogs and yet the dogs were not affected by the frequency.
I do not know how long more I have to try before telling myself it is not going to work.
It seemed like a waste of time and money investing in this product.
DOREEN S.
The Dog Silencer arrived quickly, well packaged and was easy to set up.
The neighbors' dogs are a young male and a senior male Terrier mix. They are not trained and allowed to bark at whatever tickles their fancy. Within a day or two we noticed a reduction in the barking. The senior dog still barks "at squirrel farts" (or nothing at all) ... Not sure if he has a hearing issue or dementia ... he wanders aimlessly around his yard but now closer to the opposite neighbor. So, I believe the Silencer is having an effect. The younger dog rarely barks at all now.
In addition, the dogs being walked in the alley behind our house are quieter too! Hopefully this will keep being the case. I would recommend this Dog Silencer as it not only seems to be effective but also has the benefit of being able to plug it into an electrical outlet, as opposed to only using batteries (which wear out quickly om past brands of similar units I've used).
Ray S.
has no effect on small barking dog next door

I had to buy a second dog soilencer as my neighbours dog found a place in the garden to hide,

Has worked well to keep the neighbor’s dogs from barking in the night

I live by a road and big trucks set it off, so she's not paying a lot of attention to it. Hasn't really stopesD her barking any ideas?
Xiping Z.
Hi, my next fence neigber's dogs like barking during midnight for some years. I tried all I can do , but not good result. I am so glad that you creat this dogs sileance max. I believe it is working,but still need to improve it. It is hard to find good spot to instill. My husband tried three spot. near my roof, the three, the fence....I have to adjust it during midnight. I think it need expend wider,because dogs always can run another corner barking. We tried a litter far away, but no strong wave. We tried on the fence,but can limit cover area.....I hold the Max to barking dog three miters, they run away two miters and still barking back. The dogs are Germen Shepherd, big and strong. So I may need a stronger ultrason. thanks! Let me know some things new. Also, could you built a button that we can choose working night only. I bought Max but thinking a week to use, because I do not care if dogs barking daytime.
Ronald M.
The product "looks" good and seems to have good features. Originally, we thought it was working. However, problem neighbor dog is still barking. It has been over two weeks. We moved the device even closer to the dog's location with a good field of view. Not sure if it made a difference. Willing to keep trying for a while longer, but not satisfied yet.
Brock M.
Unfortunately my neighbor's dog was unaffected by this product. Refund requested
Robert V.
It works wonders with my neighbors dog, when I am available to work the remote. It has no effect when I don't use the remote, even when the dog is only 25 - 30 feet away from the unit.
Jose P.
Our dogs would bark at every human or human with a dog that walked by. After 2-3 tries my dogs learned not to that anymore!
Alyssa S.
My dogs didn't care for the noise at all. They still kept barking regardless of the noise. If my dogs weren't so stubborn this would have worked.
Hayes C.
Received the unit and it worked great and with immediate effect. Unit stopped working the next day for some reason, but I contacted customer service and they promptly sent me a replacement before even receiving my return. Replacement unit works great and immediately and completely stopped my neighbor's dogs from their constant barking. The product is good and customer service is excellent - a rarity in today's world, would recommend highly.
Svetlana M.
Set the device with clear view of the area without any walls but still didn't stop my dog from barking. Tried this device for at least 2 weeks and no change. This product is not cheap and should work better.
Kyle C.
Unfortunately it did not faze the intended dog. I used every setting to include the remote and the dog continued to bark without any response to the unit. I even bought the mount so I could try different positions still with negative results.
Michael D.
Seems to work with the barking, but it super sensitive to all noises, not just barking. Not sure how effective it will be if it's always getting triggered.
Marlin T.
Hardly ever hear the dog barking anymore. Peace and quiet
Mark W.
Did work for me, it's been about 3 weeks and the neighbors dark still drives us nuts with all his barking. I have the unit pointing right at their house about 25' away, doesn't work.
Chris H.
Our neighbor across the street - 220 feet away - got a black lab that sat out all day and barked at everything that moved. We bought the Dog Silencer Max and mounted it to our front porch aimed at the dog. Within a couple of weeks the dog stopped barking. Then, it disappeared altogether, we don't know why. Our next-door neighbor has a 2 year-old German Shepherd that has a huge bark and although it wasn't out barking all day, when it did come outside it would bark so loud that it often woke us up from a sound sleep. I moved the Dog Silencer to the back of the house and aimed it at the neighbor's backyard, within 1 day the dog completely stopped barking. In fact, it got so quiet I thought that dog disappeared too. More than a week went by and then I realized the dog was actually outside, just not barking. That dog hasn't barked more than 5 or 10 barks in the past two months. It's like a miracle. Now, the neighbor on the other side recently got a big dog that also has a loud bark. These neighbors mostly keep the dog inside but they have their windows open in the summer and the dog barks so loudly that it sounds as though it's in the back yard. We are buying another Dog Silencer Max for that side of the house and we'll see if it can train the dog in our neighbor's house! I'm betting it will. The Dog Silencer Max has saved our summer and our sanity. I have read that it doesn't work as well on yappy dogs, but it has worked very well on the bigger, loud dogs in our neighborhood.
Ivan S.
Don’t helping too much I have almost one month or I don’t see too much difference I will try another month if don’t work I will return back Thank you
Larry D.
My dogs barking has decreased in short time I have had Dog Silencer Max.

Once I set the sensitivity, it seemed
To start working right away. Very
Happy about dogs not barking all the time.
Colleen K.
I've talked to the owners on several occasions and they did nothing. Their dog broke my wood privacy fence and I had the police go over to chat with them as well (in my state it would be a civil matter but I wanted the officer to let them know that "officially"). And the Dog Warden has been over there for wellness checks. Plus the other neighbors have called the police about the nuisance barking on multiple occasions and the police have "warned" them. Ironically the dog is easier to train from my yard with the Ultimate Bark Control than the humans are from multiple visits from officials about the same issue.
The training is kinda slow and you have to be consistent if you use the remote only as I do. It also requires patience (this is not an immediate fix). It even works on cats. This is a god send when its obvious "bored barking" (you know, that repeat bark that is just annoying) and of course when they bark at me or my cat or dog. They've learned to hush when I come outside instead of the crazy bark feast it used to be. I do not want to train their dogs not to bark when its OK (ex. someone at their door, car pulling in the driveway, etc.) so the remote has been very helpful with that aspect. I don't have it secured as I take it and place in different areas as needed and only use the remote function. Yeah its more expensive than some things but it works. Even dogs three houses down can hear it in my situation and shush so its a huge win in my opinion!
I love animals and have several of my own. My dog is not allowed to bark like a wild dog and he knows it. I've spend a lot of time on his training. I am not a fan of obnoxious owners who cant be bothered. Thank you Dog Silencer for designing something that actually works. I just wish it worked on the obnoxious human owners too! LOL!
Kenny K.
Dogs still bark. Will relocate and if no better results will send back for a full refund.
David B.
My dogs bark at our neighbor whenever he comes out. He doesn't like it much so I bought the Dog Silencer. As far as I can tell, it does nothing. I have it pointed to the area where they run to bark at him, but I don't really see any change. I'll keep trying it, maybe over time???
Jeffrey Z.
I bought a home in a nice quiet nature-filled neighborhood at the peak of insane real estate prices and was extremely dismayed to discover my next door neighbor had an insane dog that would absolutely lose its mind barking at things it saw in the backyard. Every night after dinner they would let the dog out and almost without fail the dog would start barking for like 20 minutes straight and at times sounded like it was dying. Poor thing. It never occurred to my neighbors that it might be to the dog's benefit to teach it not to bark. I'm happy to report though that the dog silencer was up to the task. On max setting it was a little too sensitive and I was concerned non-bark noises could set it off and degrade the effectiveness of the training. So I lowered the sensitivity somewhere around 25% to 50% and that seemed to do the trick. I haven't heard the dying dog sound since. Maybe one or two barks every now and again. But now it's quiet after dinner. The dog silencer is amazing! I only wish I had known about this before because this is not the first annoying dog I've dealt with.
Raymond T.
Have it hanging out and facing my neighbors yard for the last 2 weeks and haven't seen much improvement as of yet, will give it some more time and hope for some resolution...
Kenneth H.
Instant relief! I was not expecting results that fast. These dogs would act like they wanted to kill us through the fence. We could not even be in our back yard. We set up our controller about fifteen feet from them. They barked at us, spun in circles, ran the other way! Nearly 100% instant results! Worked all weekend near the fence, slept every night. Amazing
Mariah T.
I have 2 dogs - chihuahua and a jack Russell - both breeds are about the worst offenders for yapping!
Everytime Id leave my chihuahua would start yapping
Ever since I purchased the product it has stopped I haven’t had neighbour complaints it’s fanstastic
Bárbara G.
The has stopped my dogs and the neighbors dogs from running the fence line barking ! I’m so happy with the product. I took it to my sisters for her dogs she can’t wait to order one too!
Arnold G.
Our neighbor's five dogs bark loudly from a front gate that is located no more than just a few feet from our window. They also bark through a fence into our backyard. We can never have enjoy our backyard anymore the way we did before these neighbors moved in last year. You can hear the dogs barking throughout our home and the dogs bark day and night sometimes. We purchased this product because it claimed to be one of the best on the market and because of the high price, we felt, "You get what you pay for." and was expecting a device that would be effective. This is not only difficult to install and operate, but it is completely ineffective in even deterring any of the dogs from barking. My wife and I are completely dissatisfied with this product and really wish we could just get our money back.
Vincent B.
I built a metal "harness" out of flat alumium strips from Home Depot so that I could hang it on the neighbor's side of the wall right where the dogs like to stand by their gate and bark.
It is plain view and so I told the nieghbor what it is and why it is there. I had spoken to him on seveal occasions and told him that I would resort to this and he was Ok with it.
I must have gotten very lucky with the sensitivity setting. The 3 dogs stopped barking within days. I'm talking less than a week.
Sometimes you could hear where they forgot and then it was only a bark or 2. A few times they were testing how loud they could bark - pretty smart dogs - but soon gave that up too.
For a while the dogs would go to the other side of the yard and bark. We don't have that now either.
We can't tell they even have dogs now. So either the neighbor finally took me seriously or this thing worked like magic. I'm leaning toward the latter.
Michael P.
We live in a tight neighborhood and there is only 5 feet between property lines and houses on the sides. For four years we have had troubles with these neighbors and their barking dogs. The dogs are large dogs and get no exercise and are not walked. At the same time they are cooped-up in a small yard. This leads to really bad barking. They would look into our master bedroom and bark when they saw movement at night. Earlier we were never able to open the windows.
The owners believe their dogs have a right to bark and we do not have a right to sleep. We were preparing a lawsuit against our neighbors which would be quite expensive. I thought I would try "Ultimate Bark Control" (UBC) before getting into the cost and more grief with this neighbor.
I eventually used two UBC devices, one facing toward the front of the yard and the other facing toward the back and center of the yard. Only one unit worked modestly, but these two were like magic. No barking and it is amazing. Our bedroom window is now open at night to let in fresh air.
I am now using a higher current 9V AC/DC adapter to be able to power more than one unit from house electrical power. I had to string a 9V DC power line to the UBC units. Earlier I used rechargeable NiMH batteries and changed them every two weeks. But since the installation of the second unit, and with such favorable results, I made the installation permanent and provided a more permanent power source.
Brad H.
This works. 95% of the barking has stopped.
Roy Q.
The product doesn’t work, is a waste of money, you guys need to come up with a system that sprays water when the dogs bark, that would train dogs in minutes not weeks like you expect the ultrasonic system might do, but this might work for some small dogs or something but it doesn’t work for hound dogs or shepherds, don’t buy this product or any ultrasonic system.
Catherine E.
5 dogs within 12' of my deck: next door decided THAT was the best place for their dog yard!!! So for the last YEAR, DCO has written countless tickets to them: EVERY TIME I exit my deck door or front door, I WAS GETTING BARK-BLITZED!!! Property owner's new gf was weaponizing the dogs as a means of manipulating me!!! Owner was more responsible but he even continued to allow it.
I am a LICENSED WILDLIFE REHABILITATOR; I run a wildlife HOSPITAL out of my home. Ppl would bring me injured/orphaned animals & I COULDN'T TALK TO THEM TO FIND OUT ANYTHING BECAUSE OF ALL THE LOUD INCESSANT BARKING!!! It became BEYOND ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY TOLERABLE.
Enter the DOG SILENCER MAX!!! I installed it right on my deck rail w/screws, & hard corded the power supply, on June 2nd. It has a high-pitched audible switch that indicates when the unit is actually working, so I switched that ON so I could gauge when & for how long it was emitting the ultrasound; deliberately done so I could gauge how to reposition wildlife caging. On June 6th, police showed up in my yard, insisting on an explanation for the "strange tone" coming from my house...they had received a complaint!!! Sure enough, it was next door, INSISTING THE POLICE SIEZE THE UNIT!!! I explained the entire situation to the Officer, SHOWED HIM the unit & the box it came in, then referred him to the DCO & her OVER 100 TICKETS written in the last 12 months, for BARKING. He smirked, told me if I had any further problems, to call the station house, & left. The next day I switched off the indicator tone... it's been working in ultrasound ever since... They were BEYOND RIPSHIT next door... Over the next week, the gf made repeated calls to DCO & Police, insisting the unit was MAKING THE DOGS BARK, CAUSING THEM TO GO DEAF, DAMAGING THEIR BRAINS... along with repeated threats to file lawsuits against all the Town officials, the Town itself, & me. To date, NONE have been filed, & the Police now know that essentially the neighbors called the Police on THEMSELVES!!! The Unit IS WORKING AS DESIGNED & I have 90% of my PEACE & QUIET BACK!!! THIS UNIT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!

I’m only 50 feet away and I had some cheaper ones but they didn’t help so I paid the money for an expensive one and it doesn’t work either. No matter whethernn be I use the remote or just the unit the dog continues to bark all the time. I am so disappointed

I knew it was going to be a gamble and I'm willing to give it more time, but it really isn't working for our neighbor's Aussie-mix dog. I think nervous and needy dogs, who are compelled to announce themselves and complain if they aren't the center of attention, are going to ignore this kind of training. I think barking is just too ingrained. I'll keep trying, because I have it set up in a perfect location for detection, but I fear my return wind will close before there's any noticeable reaction on the dog's part. So frustrating.

I have to be honest and say I was prepared to have wasted my money on another bogus device. However, my new neighbor's dogs were barking consistently for 7hours straight all through the night (not an exageration folks) even causing my Golden Retriever distress at bedtime. I was at my wits end, having called animal control and the police several times. Nothing changed. Until I got this little savior in the mail. We hooked it up and even though the directions stated 2-3 weeks for results, I saw them that night. We tested it out on my dear pupper ( she got lots of biscuits after) and it worked, she could hear what we could not. I have had this baby in the garage window, pointing at the neighbors dog kennel for over a month now. We can all get a good night's sleep. Don't get me wrong, dogs should be able to bark, but these two huskies next to us were whining and barking at a pitch that would shatter glass. The one pitchie dog will still whine and bark in moderation but it is definately WAY quieter than he used to be. This devise is well worth every cent and I am 100% satisfied. If you're neighbor's dogs are affecting your family's quality of life, buy this today. You won't be disapointed!!!!

I needed to learn how to use the unit. Once I did, it started working well for correcting bad barking behavior. You need to follow the directions for sensitivity. I prefer the Dog Silencer Max for distance. Use the Audio setting until you dial down sensitivity. You only want this producing sound after a bark, not other noises. Audio setting allows you to hear it as well as the dog. After you have sensitivity just right, move the switch to ultrasonic. Now only the dog hears it and not you. You should see the LEDs blink when it is activating. I bought two of these. One inside the home where the dog is most of the time, and one for outside where she is most of the time. The outside one I use solar for keeping it active, and use the AC power adapter for inside. I bought a silicon cover (I think it is silicon) in the hope it will protect from the heat of direct sun, where the outside one is placed.

It doesn’t seem to stop my dogs from barking. It says it can take up to 3 weeks but still doesn’t seem to deter them from barking…

It was having an effect until the tree leaves came out this spring.

Complete pain in the butt. Was considering a bullet, but this device saved me....

It did not work. Whenever my dogs barked there was no indication that it was "activated" nor did it help to lessen the amount of barking from my dogs.

The neighbor's dog was barking non-stop for 10 hours when I put this up a small stick in the air and attached it to the fence and turned it on automatic the animal was not interested in parking after about a week it was very quiet and peaceful in our neighborhood again it is worth the purchase and it is very effective

my neighbor has seven, yes 7 quacking pomeranians and it does not help unfortunately. I thought spending this amount of $$ it would at least put a dent in the barking/quacking.

No difference at all. I was concerned that maybe the device didn’t sense the dog barking (as the neighbor walked it by our house within 15 feet of the box) so I’ve pushed the button on the remote, which I’ve tested, and still nothing… the dog keeps barking, without even a pause.

Bought a home and moved in to find the next door neighbor has 2 big dogs whose favorite game is to out-bark the other. My daughter recommended this device which she successfully used at her home. I got one and mounted it on the side of my house approximately 30 feet from the neighbor’s chain link fence. It seemed to help initially but after a few weeks not so much. I checked it and found the batteries died. After installing new ones it definitely is helping. I think I need the power cord extension.

Our mastiff barks incessantly. We have used bark collars but the prongs irritate her neck. I bought this product as a last alternative. Failed miserably. She heard the sound, tilted her head and went on barking. Save your money. Didn’t work!

Worth every penny!!! Finally have peace and quiet. Best investment ever!!

Works. Like the remote. Expensive

My neighbors have two very annoying German shepherds that act like we are trying to hurt someone. They react to visual as well as just hearing a door shut when go outside to water plants or check mail. The neighbors simply don't care .After talking with them I purchased this product and put on our tree/property line , it seems to help but I wonder should I put two and is there a way to make it louder . These dogs are ignorant, the neighbors moved in 4 yrs ago and they still act as if we are out to get them , but like I said it has helped but for the cost I was hoping for something a little more effective. Thanks
