Dog Silencer: It's Not Activating Anymore!

The Dog Silencer is dead and that dog is barking up a storm! It doesn't activate; it's just plain not working.

Before holding a funeral, let's do a bit of testing. It's quick and easy. First, grab the Dog Silencer, batteries, and the AC adapter.

Using the AC adapter, power the Dog Silencer. (Remove all batteries.)
Turn the switch to the “Ultra” sound setting.
Raise the sensitivity dial for bark detection up high towards the + sign.
Place the Dog Silencer down, so you are not touching it. If the green light flashes, great! It's getting power. Wait for approximately 5 seconds until the green light stops flashing. Move on to step 5.
Clap at least 4 times loudly in front of the Dog Silencer to simulate barking. Does the green light flash? If so, your device is working.
Tip: Use clapping to test versus just the remote control.
If the lights do not flash, repeat the steps, but remove the AC adapter and use batteries to power it. (The Dog Silencer/MAX uses six “AA” batteries while the Dog Silencer Pro uses one 9v battery.)

If the Dog Silencer works with batteries, but it doesn't work with AC adapter, then the AC adapter is most likely the culprit. (It may be covered by a Manufacturer's Warranty, so contact us to see.)

If the Dog Silencer isn't working on batteries or the AC adapter, I'm sorry for your loss, but we may be able to fix that. The Dog Silencer (and its older model, the Bark Control Pro™) come with a Manufacturer's Warranty. Give us a call for help with a replacement at 1-541-245-4488!

Oh this works great on my dog’s barking. I used it once… just a super short correction. He stopped barking and after that I just had to say his name , show him the unit , he stopped instantly what he was doing.

I'm able to get the neighbors dogs to reduce their barking.

I had to purchase a second dog silencer, one close to the dog on automatic was not enough. The second I use with the remote to activate when the dogs keep barking to silence. I would be nice to have a setting to have silencer active for extended period of time, like 10 to 30 minutes to make the stubborn dogs get the message not to bark. Now the most effective way to get the dogs to stop barking when they won't stop, is the press the remote every 10 seconds for 5 to 15 minutes. The continuous activation make the dogs quite down for awhile.

Ultimate Dog Bark is the best!

I've been using their products for years and can' say enough good things about their service and the quality of their products. They're the best.

They really work !

I am surrounded by neighbors who let their dogs bark day and night and who don't care about their neighbors, nor the CC&R rules of our HOA. Talking to the neighbors has been a waste of time. This has been going on for about 10 years with the HOA nor the City of Las Vegas willing to do anything about it. I tried different dog barking silencers and then about 6 years ago bought these. It took a while, but the dogs finally started to stop barking when the Dog Silencers would sound. Out in the desert sun for 6 years, 1 of them started to work intermittently so I bought 2 more, replaced 1, and installed 1 on my side of the block wall set on automatic. That really shut those dogs up fast. The range on the manual transmitter is also excellent. Try these. They work.

It is as described and as expected.
