Gadget Silences Noisy Neighborhood Dogs
Does your neighbor's dog bark incessantly all day and night, or worse, tell you to kill? Put down the arsenic-laced Scooby snacks and instead pick up Bark Free, a nifty little gadget that silences the sound of a dog barking from 30, 50 or 60 feet away depending on the model. When Fido barks, Bark Free flips on and emits ultrasonic sound waves, which are undetectable to the human ear. When the barking stops, the sound is switched off. Though not harmful to the perpetrating pooch, the ultrasonic sound is rather unpleasant for him and he quickly learns not to bark in the vicinity of your yard. Prices range from $70 to $120.Man, cats are gonna have a field day with this one.

Oh - how about one for trucks with no mufflers and very unruley kids? Sign me up for those - the dogs I don't mind .. but those stupid giant wheeled trucks (usually small guy driving - ha ha) and those kids - forget about it!

I found a dog collar that also emits sonic sound that dogs do not like and you can put this one on your own dog if he or she is a barker, and it cost me only $7 plus shipping on ebay. Now I am happy and my neighbors are happy.

I would be upset if someone was training my dog NOT to bark. What if this device was left on the day somoene decides to rob you?

Do not waste your money.I bought one of these for very noisy dogs next door that barked 24 hours a day.It did absolutely nothing to stop the dogs from barking. It is a rip-off!!!
Shirley @ Sep 26th 2007 7:24AM
Lee, which collar did you buy and did it work? My dog barks uncontrollably when doorbell rings which is very annoying!!!
Dotty @ Sep 26th 2007 7:26AM
This is made for training a dog not to bark BY THE OWNER. Not as a cure all by every person who wants to shut up a dog instantly.
MAD @ Sep 26th 2007 7:39AM

My neighbor's dog used to bark at me every time
I went out into my back yard. I went to the fence and TALKED to the dog, and made friends with him. Now "Mr. Barkley" doesn't bark at me. He just wanted someone to talk to him.

Hey Mad and Don how far away were you from those dogs when you tried to get it to work because I want to buy something to shut my neighbor's dogs the hell up!!! Arsenic-laced scooby snacs sound like a good idea

Having done rescue for 10+ years and over 700+ dogs through my hands, this is not an inhumane treatment. Sounds such as these have been attempted to be used for many many many years by those in the dog training field. Having been retired from showing and rescue now for years and moving to a neighborhood from a very rural area, I find myself smack in the backyard of a barking dog.
These people have no fence, and we have a leash law. So, to let their dog go out to potty etc, they take it out and put in on a dog runner. Well, this dog will begin barking after it does it's business and does not stop. My husband works at night and they will leave this dog out there for hours on end. Barking non-stop. I did try a device like this, that I had from my show/rescue days... does not work. This is not about stopping a dog from barking because you are breaking in a house... a good piece of steak and treats can do that if someone wants in your home. This is about dogs that just sit in a yard barking non-stop. It's about people who care little for the effect of that on their neighbors and selfishly think of only theirselves.

A rifle is good solution to barking dog. Dont kill dog, have fun: Use a BB-gun and shoot at its testicles.
