PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Deterrent

My Husband came home with a shock collar for a Golden Retriever!! We did'nt have the heart to put it on!! Saw this device and decided to purchase! Our neighbors all have dogs and our golden is always barking around the perimeter of the fence.Our golden has NOT BARKED. He HATES it!!!However, we dog sit our friends Irish Water dog, this device doe not work with him. We're still in early stages (1 week in use) I still feel bad for our Golden. Now I am having to drag him outside and if another dog Barks it sets the device off and my golden starts scratching at the Door. It does work and like with people, All Breeds handle things differently. GOOD LUCK!

If you've decided to try the PetSafe outdoor bark deterrent, I suggest you buy it from a store like Amazon.com that has a good returns policy. After a 2 week trial I determined it had absolutely no effect on my wife's Shih Tsu. Yeh, I followed all of the directions. The yard is about 40'x40' so on it's highest setting it should have provided complete coverage. If customer ratings are to be believed, it works on about half of all dogs. My return to Amazon went without a hitch. Now if I can get my wife to permit using the PetSafe static (zapper) collar I bought, the neighbors may start talking to us again...

The product stopped my german shorthair pointer and the neighbor's cocker spaniel from barking, but the neighbor's foul tempered chihuahua sometimes ignores the Bark Deterrent if it's barking loudly and continuously. The only minor drawback, for me, is the lack of AC adapter. I wish I could plug it into the outdoor outlet rather than buying 9V batteries. The battery life is good, however.

I have an indoor kennel with 20 dogs I own. I have most of them trained with an electronic collar, so barking is not real bad. I was hoping that this would stop them from barking so I wouldn't have to continuously be trying to figure out which dog was barking to put a collar on them. I really can't tell that this unit is doing anything at all. Back to the collar.

This product is great. We have two JRT's that can be rather nosey when it come to our neighbors. We bought this to help everyone out. You may need to play with the positioning to make it the most effective but it certainly works!
