I have 3 large dogs whom I wanted to keep away from the front for when it was open so I placed the bark box approximately 2-3’ away from the door and sitting on an end table in hopes that the dogs would stay away but no matter which position I placed it in, it had no effect on their behaviors.
Vincent N.
The device is too sensitive to wind which constantly set off falsely. I had to return it.
Anna L.
My 2dogs we’re barking at every little thing and the neighbors did as I had to move them to the side yard and they weren’t used to seeing them all the time. Haven’t heard a bark since I plugged this device in!!! Very pleasantly surprised.
Colleen R.
The neighbors Beagle will no longer bay next to my fence. Unfortunately he still bays in their backyard, side yard and inside the house through open windows. If I had the money I’d buy 2 more devices to surround their property. It might work better. It’s definitely a line of sight device. We’re thinking about just moving.
Tom L.
great product stopped the neighbors dog from barking. product exceeded my expectations

So far this thing is a lifesaver. I WILL say, we live on a city block, where about 6 yards converge in one area, with lots of fences between. We mounted ours from a 2nd story-patio pointing down into an adjacent yard where two VERY territorial dogs reside in the backyard. The owners let them randomly run in and out for every little noise they year through the doggy-door to bark for HOURS. The device is quite sensitive, I have to keep it turned down almost as low as possible so it doesn't go off randomly (in audible mode), for every little sound it picks up. But it does go off for the dogs, and it does seem to work on them because they'll immediately whine after 3 barks and then circle the backyard before heading back indoors. No more barking at every single neighbor for simply opening a door, or LOOKING OUT A WINDOW DOWN AT THEM, or even seeing a silhouette behind A CLOSED CURTAIN. YEESH. Very happy with this device, just wish it wasn't SO sensitive considering the dogs are close proximity and we're in a louder-than-usual-living-situation, also wish the AC Adaptor had a sliiiightly longer cord.
David H.
The device seems to inhibit my two dogs, but only when they’re in direct line-of-sight to the device. They still bark at every passing dog, bicycle, kid, but not as much.
The downside is that the device is triggered by all sorts of noise, which seems to punish the dogs for nothing.

I was suffering from the constant yapping of a Jack Russell that my neighbour owns, they bought the dog and just let the young daughter chase it around making it bark, I had asked them to try and keep the dog quiet but they did nothing, in fact it got worse, decided to try and fix the problem myself and purchased the dog silencer. I live on 1.5 acres so there is lots of trees and bushes between the houses, I mounted it high up pointing directly at the area where the dog made the most noise, it took only about 1 to 2 weeks to shut the dog up, I now have my peace and quiet back.
It still barks but shuts up very quickly, as it remembers why it shouldn’t bark.
This device is absolutely fantastic, wish I had researched and got one sooner.
Can highly recommend this device, and the company who sell them. Don’t put up with peoples untrained dogs, who don’t care. Get a dog silencer today.

It has helped a little bit !!!!!

Yellow lab stays out all night next door barking , this has slowed or even stopped the barking all together.
janet D.
Well it does work. However, one of my dog is a barker the other is not. And it unfortunately spooks the one that doesn't bark. Usually, all I have to do now is threaten him with putting on the machine and it usually quiets him. Which is all I want from him - is quiet!
Breck A.
Expensive but we needed distance. Works well when dogs are visible. We use AC to save batteries. Some Dog people are very inconsiderate not training dogs for life in neighborhoods. Why do some dog people not hear the annoyance. These people on both sides do not walk their dogs. They stay outside all day and bark at everything. Thanks for giving me some sanity
Sarah A.
We purchased this item to silence the neighbor's dog. It was easy to set up and worked immediately. The amount of barking has been greatly reduced and we are able to do yard work without the constant noise. Bliss.
Dave M.
NON stop barking from Sun Up to sun down. Now not even a whimper and if so lasts only 1.5 barks and that is great. This Machine is great, even works on dogs over 400' away, just push button when need to and they shut up. Where have you been all my life.!
Justin M.
Doesn't work worth a damn been having 3 weeks wasted money
Eric P.
The neighbors dog continues to bark when just a few feet from it. We have it set at max. Everytime the dog barks, the green light comes on, but the dog continues to bark. Feel like this was a waste of $$. Have had it for several months and it has not stopped the issue...
Glen C.
Check back in a few weeks.
Neighbor Dog is a Husky. May be extended learning..note worthy
He can definitely hear it!
And it's not a happy reaction.
Let's see how it stands up to the Elements. Long term.

I expected several days for this device to be effective. It worked right out of the box! Not only the dog right next door but the dogs(yes…3 dogs) two houses east and across the street have become very respectful with the barking.
Thanks for making a product that does exactly what it’s touted to do!
Steven P.
Not working great. Seems to be triggered by ANY sound.
Dennis B.
We read the reviews and seemed promising but as always, you think that you are the ones that it won’t work for. Let me tell you, our neighbors started out with 5 dogs and now have close to 30. When one starts barking or howling, every one joins in until it sounds like Call of the Wild. We installed the Dog Silencer after selecting the right spot. Attached the optional mounting bracket to a gutter downspout and aimed it right at the kennels. They picked up after a day that symphonic barking will no longer be acceptable in this neighborhood. You can almost see the dogs working it out in their minds….”if I bark, that irritating noise begins. And when I stop barking, the irritating noise ceases.”
Sometimes they need a little extra encouragement; and that is what the remote is for. Press the button…..3 more barks….then silence. It doesn’t stop them from barking completely but the 2:00am bark-fest and 5:00am howling choir has been eliminated. Now we can sit in our sun porch and watch television at volume 12 instead of volume 93. Our other neighbors have come over and commented on why is the entire block so quiet? We just smile and say, Dog Silencer.
It is a little pricey, but worth every penny! It has been up for 2 weeks and the change has been immediate. There are other units out there which are less expensive, but don’t throw your money away. You get what you pay for.
Candace C.
We have two 3 year old dachshunds, who are sooo barky. We have tried bark collars, clickers, training etc. Not effective. We have been using this bark deterrent device for a couple weeks and I see such an improvement. I seem to have difficulty setting the sensitivity level? It's a work in progress. When I'm around I tend to use the remote. All in all things are going well and I hope to see continued improvement.
Jameela W.
No change in amount of barking after several weeks of use
Thomas F.
It works great. I press the remote 3 times on the Ultra setting and they quiet right down. The owners never told them to stop barking, but they do now. They know when I have the device out because of the dog’s reactions. Great product.
Sharon H.
Cute pair of little dogs moved in behind us. They are very vocal and would instigate our big dogs to a brawl at the fence. It had gotten so bad we hated going outside. We mounted the Ultimate Bark Control on the back of a shed pointing toward the fence and used the remote control when they barked. Within a week the dogs would only scratch at the fence and now, not even that. A quick push of the button reminds them and they scurry off. Our pups don't like it much either so they are not tempted to go engage at the fence. Thank you! We got our yard back.
Shawn L.
Moved into a new neighborhood where the homes are on top of each other and with 2 outdoor labs I was very nervous. After a couple of short days we have perfect days and nights of no random barks. And the first couple of nights it was only a couple of barks for which we activated the remote and quickly it was quieted. This device has completely exceeded my expectations. Thanks for helping us with the transition to the new neighborhood.
William M.
Neighbors Chihuahuas barked almost all the time they are in the back yard. After watching some videos I ordered the Dog Silencer Max. I does work, there is large reduction in the constant noise. For the negative, the little sh!ts still bark more than I’d like, but now they bark for a little bit & shut up. All & all it’s better than it was. Would definitely recommend this…..just don’t expect a miracle.
Kathleen S.
I can't believe how well this works. I am a certified pet center and deal with nonsense barking I. My business of 12 years. This work so.well. I set it on low and after 2 barks the dogs are quiet. They go and lay down. Finally peace at last. I will be trying it on the neighbors dogs so ce they bark continually at times. But so far I am amazed and it was worth every penny. No more scolding or waking up at night. Thank you Good Life!!
Denis M.
After 3 months of service, installed following directions, this device has not helped a bit. I have tested the device manually with the remote to be certain it is functioning, which it seems to be, but not effective at stopping the barking. The neighbor's dogs bark just as much as before, if not more so. I had been so hopeful that spending more than competitive devices on the market, I would see results by now. I continue to be awakened early in the mornings, very annoying. The dogs bark whenever they are outside, for no apparent reason and for long periods of up to 10-20 minutes, until the owner takes them inside. When I am outside the house, I can hear them bark inside their house. Perhaps these dogs are deaf, or stupid; I wish they were dumb/unable to bark. At any rate, I wish I had not spent this money on this device, and spent on something else with some value.
Jadon H.
I didn't have high expectations but it actually works. Doesn't completely solve the problem but definitely worth it, most of the time I just have to hit it once and the dog stops. I would recommend to not over use it and only use it manually
Ryan M.
I have thin walls and my new neighbor didn't love the dogs barking with every little sound that our elevator or stairs made. So I got this device and it works very, very well. My dogs would bark and make noise every time I come home and use the elevator and now it's quiet. They are waiting quietly by the door and it's amazing. My neighbors are happy too.
Carly G.
Works way better than other products we tried. Within 2 weeks, there is such a change! Definitely worth the money, we can enjoy our yard again.
Colleen B.
We were desperate to get two German shepherds and a smaller dog next door to stop barking. Our neighbors kept them directly below our deck and beside our pool, and they barked so loudly that we couldn't hear each other talk while we were in our backyard. We'd stopped using the deck and the pool altogether, and begun to whisper every time we went outside. As a last-ditch effort, we bought this dog bark machine. It took literally SIX MINUTES before both German Shepherds learned to stop barking. They still try it on, but when the deterring noise goes off they both stop immediately. We have since bought three more and we're going to situate them all along the fence line between our properties. THESE REALLY WORK.
Daniel T.
Kennel raising German shepherds just behind our subdivision. Constant barking driving everyone in range crazy. We don't want to go outside. No noise ordinance in our County (Bexar). sOME OF US THINK DOG SILENCER HAS HELPED, BUT NOT COMPLETELY
Shannon C.
I am working on close if not past two weeks. If I had to guess made it bothers them when they are just barking to bark. If they are barking because we are in the yard or something along those lines, it’s seems to have no effect.
Thom L.
Please send this survey again in the late fall. There is construction going on next door and the barking dogs have been temporarily relocated.
Carlton S.
I bought this product to reduce my dog's constant barking have had it for a week they still bark but not as much I will increase the volume which should help
Jen L.
After a few weeks of having it I have personally noticed a difference. I have 2 working german shepherds with high activity levels so the barking can be very annoying at times. It doesn't stop it 100% of course considering the type of dogs I have but it definitely has minimized. Doesn't do much against howling though. The only thing I would say is that if you're running it on batteries be prepared to change them quite often if your dogs are stubborn. I did also buy the solar add on so I will give it a shot.
Audrey E.
It works like magic, I love it, when this dog came over the first time to bark at me, it turned right around and went to the porch, the barking is 80 % less just in the first week. I am getting another to place on a tree to face the front of the neighbors property, to catch their dogs up there. So I now have two silencers facing their property.
The neighbors do not do anything with their dogs, it is sad. People like these people do not need to own any animal. Loneliness is cruelty too. I try to talk to the dogs, but it is a lost cause...
Thank you again.
Robert N.
Never thought it would work as fast as it did. Literally 2-3 days. 99% of the barking stopped. I live in large apartment complex and had 3 different dogs on balconies in the courtyard. Sounded like a kennel often. 2 - 3 days after getting this, almost no barking.
Mary L.
After just a day, my dog's barking has improved SO much! This thing works miracles! Having said that though, I wish there was a way to turn it off and on from the remote. It goes off when my kids or the neighbor kids are playing in the backyard. I don't want the dog to be afraid of being out there. I have to turn it off when they go out, which is a major pain because I have to go down a flight of stairs. Also, just a word of advice, if you have a yard that wraps around your house, I would get two of these. The sensor doesn't pick up sounds through a wall, so my dog still likes to bark at the fence where the sensor doesn't reach. Overall though, I am SO happy with this product!
Debra P.
Our neighbors dogs use to bark almost consistently at night. It’s been 1week and I only have to use the remote control once and they will stop barking. Amazing unit.
Barry S.
This is my second week with the unit pointed at 2 yappy dogs in our neighbors yard behind us. I think they know how irritating they are so at least they bring them in when continually barking, so I can’t tell if it’s working or not.
One question, does the remote work thru my shed, I have it mounted on the back side with a clear view of their back yard.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks,
Barry Stevens
Ross T.
My neighbors have two german shepherds. The device works on one dog but not the other.
Shirley S.
Well someone complained and there using e collars.so it's been quite..but are still going to use it..
It's still in the box
Elsie P.
I had such high hopes for this item. Thought I'd found a solution. Unfortunately it didn't work for us. Probably too many obstructions and distance. I am very pleased with the company response however, they were very helpful in returning the item. Tamara was so attentive and took special effort to get me a return label when the email didn't arrive. Thank you very much even though wasn't the right item for my situation.
BRAD B.
I was skeptical but this actually works! The neighbors dogs bark early in the morning and later at night. We placed the unit across the fence and just push the button every time they bark and they stop, very cool!
Ronald W.
It seems like it was more designed to as a teaser in order to make the customer purchase accessories rather than as a real solution to a major problem. For example, although it provides an electric chord, it's so short as to make it impractical for serious use to solve the suburban problem of irresponsible neighbors and their dogs. To use it in that capacity, I would have had to purchase the extension chord. Maybe the electric chord that came with the original purchase might function well if the problem dog was yours and you put it in a room, not the house or yard.
Sarah O.
Immediately we heard the difference. There is one area in our yard where our dog immediately runs and barks. The barking would last for a long time- perhaps 15 minutes if we would let it continue. It was interrupting our enjoyment of our yard and made us crazy. After installing the silencer, the barking stopped. We have one or two barks, but then there is silence. Our dog seems happier too- and our relationship with him is less strained. I am very happy and thankful for this device.
Melinda M.
It's been up for three weeks and I think it's having an impact. The neighbor dog is 10 years old so this is a long term habit to break. It still barks but not as long and it seems to be running around the corner of the house to escape the sound. The big breakthrough last week was when a squirrel was on the fence. I could hear dog tags jingling as it chased the squirrel along the fence but no barking!
Judy B.
We have been very pleased with this product and the two large dogs next door have certainly been quieter. They used to wake us up in the mornings and were constantly barking. We followed your instructions as it was not our intention to harm them but just to have some peace and quiet.
Thanks for the great product and the price was well worth it!
Mike c.
Neighbors have a German shephard..it would bark every time we went outside and bark at everything. After just a week it has been a big difference. This had been amazing..we are enjoying our outdoor space once again..thank you
Steve B.
1 week in and the two units seem to be doing the job .
Sunny here in AZ so the solar panels make good sense.
Thank you for your support.
Gary P.
Installed the unit on the gazebo facing 3 backyards. When one starts barking it cause a bark along.
Will see what happens.
Traci R.
It hasn't worked out well for us yet. We are giving it more time. So far not satisfied with it.
Chaz K.
It just annoyed them and made them bark more.
Brent H.
The neighbors and I chipped in to stop the relentless assault of dog barking across the street. We mounted the device in my neighbors tree pointing right at them. After a few days works like a charm. I can even hit the remote from my home office and it goes off...nioce!!
Paul P.
Dogs still bark when others walk by on sidewalk and when hungry they mostly growl now instead of barking. How important is It to change the volume as the instructions said? What ever sucess as there" seems" to have taken place is added a
lot by the neighbors seeing the box on a pole freaking them out
Justin O.
Neighbors German shepherd was totally unphased by the device. It did not work in my application.
Olivia A.
It is hard to figure out the sensitivity. If l have it a bit higher it goes off for EVERY little sound but if l turn it down a tad, it wont go off at all. Its not easy trying to figure out how to get it just right so it will go off for my dog barking and not every other noise it detects. A bit frustrating. Does not completely stop my stubborn dog from barking but MAYBE annoys her a little enough to deter her slightly. She still barks a lot and ignkres it when it is going off.
Christopher S.
Maybe decreased neighbors dog barking by 10%. It still wakes me up almost every night. Dog silencer is pointed directly at the dog maybe 30 ft away but the dog does not care. Keeps barking
Justin J.
Great product that works.
I saw instant results on neighbours dogs 40m away. Money well spent.
Rebecca A.
Neighbor has 3 dogs, sometimes 4. They bark all the time! I used the controller 4 days and it did not make one iota of difference. The dogs never, ever, shut up! So I called customer service and sent it back! Was told I'd get my refund.
Hannah M.
It works better on sunnier days. On rainy days the dogs seem to ignore it - maybe because the rain interferes with the sound?
CHARLES L.
It seems my whole life, neighbors' dogs bark for the sake of barking. Stupid people equals stupid dogs and vice versa. This dog machine works perfect. And if the dog isn't loud enough to turn the speaker on automatically, you get a remote control to make it work. This is the best device money can buy and it is absolutely absolutely absolutely worth it! Buy it!
Theresa T.
Seems to be working great
richard k.
This dog barking all the time been turned in to police and animal control she was fined and did
not care, life is better and sleeping. Thanks I just hope it keeps going
Masyn M.
Bought a cabin in the mountains only to realize my neighbors left their two-year-old great Pyrenees in the back yard abutting my property 24 hours a day. And before anyone gets too excited, she has access to the house and goes in when they go to bed. Sadly, she never draws breath... just barks and barks and barks. I installed the dog silencer on a Thursday afternoon and by Saturday morning she was completely done. She barely even wants to go into the yard anymore because she is so disappointed. I checked to make sure she wasn't being harmed by the machine by allowing my Basset Hound near it when she was barking. He was unphased. I can't begin to tell you how this has changed my life. I was apprehensive about the whole thing but am here to say it lives up to its name and is amazing!!!! Complete game-changer and worth every cent!!! Thank you Thank you
Kanen S.
Doesn’t appear to have any effect what so ever. Tried different locations, with no luck. The area is only 15-20’ away from the unit. Rather disappointed for the price I paid.
Spencer D.
Dog still barks but not as much. It’s been about two weeks and I think overall it works.
James L.
This did wonders with the two older barking neighbors dogs. It took about a week to see major improvement. The neighbor on the other side got a barking puppy. I moved the unit to test on the puppy which had no affect. There was a backslide in the progress of the first two dogs, so I repositioned the unit. Resolved 2/3 of the issue.
Stephen B.
Have been using device for two weeks and not entirely sure if it has had an effect on neighbors' dogs. Three dogs (2 medium size Labs, 1 medium sized mutt) less than 75 feet away, bark constantly while we are out in the yard. I'll keep using devise and hope for the best.
steve m.
I physically have to be there to activate remote because of reception distance. Is essentially ineffective over 40-50 metres even though sound travels in a straight line and dB are high. The smallest obstacle (shrub on their property) interferes with effectiveness/efficiency. Ineffective with more than one dog and I can't afford to purchase several to fine tune to individual animals. Not useable in a Rural situation.
Michael S.
Took about a week to train big dogs across alley . Working on ones in front across street thank goodness for the 300 ft range. Will be purchasing 1 in the future that has solar power. Thank you so much for the peace and quiet.
Sandra G.
My dog is not really much of a barker. She’s 2.5 y/o and has never had an issue with barking until new neighbors moved in next door. Still, she’s not a nuisance barker until they antagonize her. I bought this device hoping it would quiet her even when they’re outside pestering her. It seems to work! I can see her shake her head in response to the ultrasonic sound and she does stop barking. I only wish it would work on our human neighbors : (
Cynthia R.
Non-stop nuisance barking!
Even when placed in clear line of site with highest sensitivity and adding audible tones, still no results.
Deann T.
I cannot go on my deck or anywhere on my outside property without the neighbor's dog going nuts. My husband found the product and we had ordered it with high hopes. The first one came, when we put brand new batteries in it, it didn't work. Only the power plug worked. We exchanged (the process was nice and easy) and the new one works as far as batteries go. We have been using the product for a few weeks now, and haven't seen much change with the neighbor's dog :( Slightly less barking, but not like we were hoping for.
Sherri O.
First day worked a little after that did not work. Sent them back
William B.
I understand results may not be immediate. The device has been installed almost two weeks. The dogs seem to be aware of the sound and don’t seem to be barking as much. They seem to be making the connection. Instead of continuing to bark, their barking seem to be interrupted. Eventually, I hope they stop barking all together.
Kathleen M.
My neighbor has 3 dogs that are outside all the time. They receive no love or attention. Therefore, they barked all the time. The owners have absolutely no regard for anyone else who has to listen to it. It’s not the dogs’ fault, it’s the owners. Since I have been using this, peace has been restored! It’s wonderful!
Felicia C.
It's great took about a week for our dog to fully calm down but it's been smooth sailing since
Meghan F.
My neighbor has dogs that bark nonstop all day starting at 7am and ending at 11 pm on the really bad days. They bark for hours on end with hour long breaks in between on good days. We can’t enjoy our backyard peacefully. It’s not your average dog barking, there’s a small one with a very shrill high pitched bark and the huge German shepherd that sounds like it’s trying to get through the fence to maul anybody on the other side of It. I have a handheld ultrasonic bark deterrent that works pretty well but, obviously only when I’m in the backyard using It. I had high hopes for the ultimate bark control device and was very pleased It came with a remote I could use from inside the house. I installed It as instructed and It worked sometimes…more often when I had the remote but even that was hit or miss. Had it plugged in at all times with the extension cord i purchased with it. Gave It three weeks to give the device a fair chance, but ultimately It was unsuccessful. It definitely didn’t work well enough to justify paying $180 for It.
Kevin D.
This has been a great purchase for our peace and quiet. If there is a person walking with a dog they still bark, but not to long. But the daily barking is gone. It has been a great purchase for us.
Louis W.
This product works!! Only took 3 days and the dog’s behavior changed. Money well spent. Thank you
Susan S.
I'm using batteries but it doesn't seem to stop them. I'm going to try plug it in see if it works better.
Jeanne M.
This has been a long and ongoing struggle with this neighbor about their dog. I love dogs and have never blamed the dog. The dog is left alone, outside, for hours on end and it's a Beagle. I tried in every which way to reason and/or suggest remedies to this neighbor to no avail. Since they weren't ever home, they never heard it. Thus, it was me that was being unreasonable. I finally began doing a search for ways to deter their dog's constant barking. I found your site and took a chance. I couldn't be happier that I did. It's worked like a charm and I am ever so grateful. The dog 'may' bark once or twice now & again, but then stops. It's a far cry from hours on end of Beagle barking. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has a barking dog issue who wants it to stop!! Thank you for your GREAT product.
Erica B.
I have 3 dogs - all are barkers. One more than the others. This works on him. It works on all 3 but specifically on him. Which is 'mission accomplished' i suppose but it bothers him so much that he barely wants to leave the house now. We only turn it on just before our neighbor gets home since that is when they bark the most. Hopefully overtime he will realize it isnt on all day and will be able to relax and enjoy his outside time this summer.
Andy K.
In 48 hours,dead silence.
Uwe M.
This system is to supposed to be effective up to 300 feet. I placed it within ~75 feet of the dog but it has no visible effect on him when I activate the Bark Control with the remote. Also, I turned the Bark Detection Dial to max, but it stopped working completely after about 3 days (I van make a loud noise right in front of it but there is no beep. The silencer beeps when I use the remote, but I am wondering now whether it is actually working, i.e. sending out the high frequency sound.
Judith C.
I have been tormented by neighbors barking dogs for a year. One dog so aggressive he would be dripping foam from his muzzle. Barking was non stop. Today I live a very peacefully and once again enjoying my yard. Love, love, love, this product. No more barking!
Blanton O.
German Shepard, smart as a whip. Learned to face away and change the tone & volume to avoid setting the unit off.
Ha, got the remote - now I give him 4 -6 consecutive hits of the 3.5 second high pitched noise.
Ahh,silence!
Nicole N.
This product was not effective so I tried the barking collars instead and they work 100%.
Robert N.
Bad untrained barkers that shut up after one or two barks.
Dezmond A.
It definitely does its job. The dogs started being quiet almost immediately.
Gary & T.
I have had it set up for about a week and a half. It is set up near my neighbor's fence. This is where
the dog's barking is the biggest annoyance. Most of the time the dog is less than 50ft from the device. Sometimes I believe it works. There are others, where it apparent that it is not working.
I am border line asking to return it!
Lori P.
My 20lb westiepoo is still barking on week 3 .. I'm sorry but I will be returning sadly - I had high hopes but my pup is just danmed stubborn oh and I listened to it and his squeeze toys made it go off.. just sayin
Ron M.
Fortunately for us, unfortunately for Bark Control, the neighbors got rid of the offending barking dogs two days after we set the unit in operation. We did notice less barking on our side of their house after I put the unit in service.
Heleen J.
Best thing, since sliced bread ! Like many other people I hesitated a long time to make the purchase due to the cost and could have saved myself a lot of sleepless nights if I bought this sooner. My neighbour has a German Shepard and another big dog. Their favourite time (although not the only time) is to bark through the night in close proximity to our bedroom window. Both dogs are untrained and the owners don't care about the nuisance their dogs are causing. The German Shepard's barking improved within a day. The other dog is older and still barks, but less and now goes to the other side of their property where the barking is not causing such a nuisance. We have mounted the device on our TV antenna on top of our roof due to the neighbour's property being higher than ours and will raise it more, which may perhaps help sort out the barking on the other side of the house as well. When the dogs are out of reach of the bark pick-up zone, I simply push the remote, which works great from almost my whole house. The remote and I are now inseparable when I am home. It has become my security blanky. I Love the dog silencer max ! Now if only you can make a device to train inconsiderate dog owners.
