When you run a Rescue in a residential area, barking dogs are a major problem. Now, let's get real. Even most shock collars won't stop a dog from barking when they spot that pesky neighbors cat taunting them by walking the fence or the fire station a few blocks away gets a call, or one of my elderly neighbors pressing the panic button they ware around the neck, falling and needing an ambulance. If you are expecting the sonic blast birdhouse to stop barking dogs when these things happen, well, when the dogs began to calm down, it will encourage them to stop sooner. Most dog barking causes are loneliness and boredom. Hanging a tire on a rope for large dogs to play with helps a lot! Taking your dog to the Pet Store and walking the toy aisle, ( usually, they will find a favorite.) can help. Tire your dog out with walks and fun. Where these sonic devices work the best is at night when they just want to bark and other dogs join in. These devices DO work but the environment has everything to do with the effectiveness. Four stars because other than a shock collar, which I will Never use again, is the only thing I have found that even comes close to working. My biggest pet peeve with these devices, they EAT the batteries like popcorn at the movies! So if you invest in a sonic deterrence, buy a battery recharger and lots of batteries. On the high 50 foot blast, most will not last 24 hours.Read full review

This little house is amazing! So glad I tried it before resorting to a shock collar for my 3 non stop barking dogs. I turned this unit on and there was total silence instantly after 1 bark. My dogs are quiet now..at ages 8, 9 and 10. Never too old to learn after all!

I wasn't sure how this would work, you never know. We have this placed outside against our fence towards the neighbors MOST ANNOYING BARKY DOGS EVER. I was super pleased to see some modification in their barking. We haven't been able to go outside for the past 10 years (since they moved in) without nonstop barking from their super annoying dogs. They do nothing to stop them. Since placing this outside I noticed immediately their dogs are experiencing something. They back away from the fence and their barking is now low and quiet like under their breath, haha. It also doesn't last as long. It's SO NICE to be able to go outside and enjoy our backyard again! We have dogs, lots of them. I run a doggie day care/boarding, and none of our dogs bark here. I don't let them annoy the neighbors. I would recommend this product. It may not work for everyone and get rid of the barking completely, but it helped us and I am pleased. Great price too!Read full review
