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.

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.
Bailey R.
My neighbors dogs would not stop barking and it was so obnoxious we were going crazy. Once we set up the bark control, it was clear it was going to work! They are really stubborn dogs they still try to bark every now and then, but almost immediately stop once the sensor goes off. This purchase was definitely worth it and I will never not have one again!
Brent W.
It’s my girlfriends two little yipping machines. Shrill and annoying, the device was most definitely working but it did nothing to deter the belligerents from barking; in fact over the 2weeks it seemed to have zero effect.
Kerri W.
Not gonna lie... I was super sceptical about this but had become so desperate for sanity from the neighbours dog that I was willing to take the hit if it didn't work. Blow me down - it worked almost immediately. Within a few days, the barking had reduced by 90%. I am actually able to enjoy relative peace now.
Craig L.
Stupid dog always barked at me whenever I was outside.
After a day or two the stupid thing seldom barks at all.
Markus G.
Scares the crap out of them (and shuts them up)!
Carole W.
2-3 bulldogs. Fairly noisy, still in test/training but seems to be working. Have mounted on second floor window with mount and double stickyback tape. Covers their whole yard✅
Phillip D.
There are several barking dogs around us. It's rare that I can go out on the patio and have a cup of coffee or grill some burgers in peace without multiple dogs barking at me. It's really a nuisance!! So, I decided to get serious. I've only used it a few weeks, but I am noticing the barking dogs want to get away from the ultrasonic noise triggered by their barking. It also comes with a remote that I can activate. Device instructions state the range is 300 feet, so I can proactively press the remote to deter the dogs from even starting to bark. So far, I am satisfied with the results.
Judith K.
2 weeks ago we were just about ready to sell our house and leave. The annoying dogs still bark, but they stop after one or two barks rather than carrying on for hours. So far, it's great!
Steven H.
Neighbor's dog is about 70 ft. away. Even on high sensitivity it's not activated. When I push the button on the remote, the dog hears it and it works well. There are also no obstructions between the dog and the device.
I also was hoping it would cause discomfort to my neighbor's brain as well, although I realize that wasn't a promise that came with your product.
Janet L.
I bought this brand because it had really great reviews. I have a neighbor with three barky dogs but one, in particular, not only barks at everything (or nothing) but has a very deep, carrying bark that often wakes my daughter up.
We have it angled so it hits a large break in some bushes in the neighbor's yard, where the pups spend most of their noise-making time. We know the unit is working because my teenager can hear it if she's outside. At first it seemed to help. The barking didn't last as long, there was a little whining here and there, but in the long run it just isn't effective at all. Part of the problem is the dogs bark so much that the battery wears out too fast even with the solar panel. I still have to change the battery every other day! Even using the fob doesn't help.
I'm incredibly disappointed with this product.
Sharon S.
Our Great Pyrenees didn’t seem to be affected by the silencer, but returning the product and working with the staff was an easy experience. Haven’t gotten our money back yet but I am confident we will. Good company.
Frostie O.
Didnt work for our dogs. They heard it the first day and ignored it after that. No change in barking behavior.
Paul M.
The concept is great, but unfortunately it doesn't work with my 6 year old Border Collie. He notices the tone when he barks, but he will continue to bark through it like its not even there. I am at a loss of ideas to curb the barking, but I think the barking is just in his nature.
Carrol S.
We have three neighbor's dogs approximately 75 feet across the road from our home. The device works well. When we have the device up and the dogs bark, they just go inside rather than deal with the noise.
Kenneth C.
It seems to be working. Very little barking this week.
Ned B.
I installed it approximately 10 feet up a tree, across the road (60 linear feet) from the 2 dogs (3 hours average of constantly barking dogs). I dialed in the lowest setting as per your directions to reduce the effect of traffic and other noises....so as to not confuse the dogs (?). That was about 2 weeks ago, I installed the day after receiving. I've heard the dogs bark twice, very briefly, in that time period. I suspect, if my neighbors had observed me installing the device, they could see what I had done and made other plans for their animals. I don't know that. I had previously requested from the dog owners some resolution. They declined any change in how they would handle the barking dogs. We both live on 5-acre lots, there's room for barking dog re-location (change). So, I'm not sure what really happened, the evidence and presence of your device OR its effectiveness of the Dog Bark apparatus. In either event, I am very well pleased. Thank you very much, Kind Regards, Ned Byrd, Colorado Springs, CO. Elevation 7,300 feet

My neighbor has 4 dogs that bark constantly when they are outside (no exaggeration at all). This makes our backyard unpleasant whenever they are out, so I purchased this thing to try to help. In the 2ish weeks that I have had this mounted on the side of my porch in direct, unobstructed view of the entire yard where these dogs are, I've seen/heard zero difference in the way the dogs bark.
Penny H.
My husband mounted it on our roof pointing at our neighbors back yard last week. They have a German shepherd that was barking non stop at everything from the wind blowing to people, birds, animals anything that moves or made a sound. He is outside from sun up to sometimes a couple hours after sun down. Since mounting the box last week Ive only heard him bark a few times the first two days and now nothing at all. I wish we had discovered this last year when they first got him. I highly recommend this product if you have a non stop barking dog that you need peace from. Also we bought the solar attachment so it would charge up during the day and we didn’t have to worry with changing batteries being ours is mounted so high up.
Very satisfied!
DWAYNE D.
Seems to work on the two small dogs but my catahoula continues to bark without regard. Running out of options with him!
Kim T.
Neighbors have two German Shepherd has room do you still barking by 80%
Ron P.
It's been installed for about 2 weeks and when the dog is out there's still barking. I haven't noticed any difference. Hope this wasn't a waste of money.
Jeremy P.
My neighbor has a small yappy dog and a large Rottweiler. It doesn't seem to have any affect on the small dog. But the Rotty is completely silent. Maybe it has something to do with how dumb the small dog is.
Michelle L. M.
I had discussed the issue of their barking dog with my neighbor and asked them to put a collar on the dog (She told me a bark collar was cruel) but they finally did. (She had told me a bark collar was cruel.) He still barked but it was a short and repeated back.
It seemed to be working great the first week I set it up. I have it on a post inside a 6" x 6" square plastic box for weather issues and above the fence line.
The dog barked nearly all day yesterday. I think I might order the additional electric line cause I'm not sure how to see if batteries are still in working order. It's been up for about 2 1/2 weeks.
Please Advise.

I have two large loud dogs that barked at anything and everything they could! I was so anxious all day, yelling at them, trying to be a good neighbor. Now, they no longer bark!! It has made such a positive incredible difference! Thank you!!!
jeri B.
This worked exactly as promised! Our neighbor let's their 2 dogs out at 1 or 2 am, and they would bark non-stop., right next to my bedroom window! Now. I can sleep through the night! Thank you!
Karyn B.
Great device!! It works perfectly to keep my dog quiet when he’s outside in the backyard
Ronald M.
Works very well. No barking!!
mervan s.
barking is a little better except early evening and night or if another dog barks in the area, then it is really hard to get him to tame down. Overall the barking is some better ,but, has a long way to go to keep him from barking. Still very hard to get any sleep especially after sundown. Thanks for asking.
Arvel B.
It works great. One or two barks and they stop altogether. We thought the male dog was getting stressed out about it because the female barks first and he gets punished because she's barking , but now that doesn't appear to be the case. We've only tried it indoors.
IT WORKS!
Richard B.
Only when I received your product and read the instructions did I find out it has to line of site. Can’t penetrate a fence or any objects. Most neighbors have 8ft fences and I would have to buy one for each fence and they would not like that. I sent it back for a refund. On max the loudest dog was only fifty feet away and didn’t bother him.
Robert K.
Its been two weeks but not quite there yet
Richard F.
We've had it for a few days. So far so good but time will tell.
Steven L.
Really to soon to leave a review. Works okay on the bigger dogs but our smaller dog just barks harder, louder, more aggressively, and constantly at the device. I assume the device is going to have wear the little dog out for him to learn that the noise only happens when he barks. I feel bad for the bigger dogs that are being affected by the little dog not getting the hint. The big dogs have sort of attacked the little dog and I thinks it’s because they have learned why that sound happens and the little dog keeps making it happen. Maybe a little patience and I might see results but I’m not sure if I want to continue issuing this.
Reba S.
I am in the process of returning it because my dogs are completely oblivious, regardless the setting.
Christine G.
Desperation to stop the constant barking of our neighbor's dog led us to search the web for a solution. We found this product but were skeptical about how well it would work. We took the plunge and placed an order. The Ultimate Bark Control arrived and we plugged it in. Within one day, the dog stopped barking! We are elated at how well this product has worked. The neighbor's dog would stand in front of their back door and bark for hours to be let it. Now the dog sits silently, pawing at the door to be let in. Not one bark since the first day we plugged in the Ultimate Bark Control. We wonder if the neighbor's are baffled as to why their dog has quit barking.
Thanks for saving our sanity!!!!
Pauline N.
Absolutely did not work, main culprit is a young dog who clearly noticed it but then didn't care at all. Gave it several weeks and zero results. Distance and placements were all assessed and should have worked according to the product description. Really wished it would have brought a little peace on the street but it did not. Good customer support though, they were very responsive when I contacted them. The timing of the return did not match the conversation so I got stuck with the device not working for me but maybe others will have better luck.
Brian F.
Helping, but still barking, but it’s getting better
lynette p.
It's slow down but he does still bark.
ANdrea D.
We currently have this in the house and anytime our dogs want to bark at the wind we push the button and they are silent. We have gone through 3 different dog bark boxes and collars and this is the ONLY thing that works. We will be putting it outside to stop the neighbors from barking,
James B.
I have had it installed and running for 2 weeks now. The dogs do hear it because I can see their ears twitching but they don’t seem to care about it. They are roughly between 30’-80’ from box at all times.
Terry D.
When there are people outside the unit does not stop him from barking
Sarah P.
My dog is certainly barking much less when the bark control device is plugged in. It had an immediate impact on him from Day 1 - the only thing that has worked ever! He is still barking when the device isn’t on but less than before. It’s early days - only 8 days in - so I am hopeful we may eventually not need the device at all.
Chris W.
Don’t hesitate works like a charm. Neighbors dogs have learned that barking at us when outside isn’t a good idea. Only using when dogs start barking but turn off once barking has stopped they have quickly learned no too.
Ted S.
Jury is still out. I installed it more than a week ago but they still bark loudly and constantly when out and the owners won't do anything about the noise. I know it takes time and I'm trying to be patient but ....
Dogs (2) are two doors down (one yard in between) - probably, most of the time a 100' away. I read and re-read the instructions but not totally sure. Do I hit the remote (since they're more than 75' away) once or continuously? What happens when I trigger it once or hold it down?? Any other advice you can provide w/b helpful. I cabled the bark deterrent to one of my porch posts so its elevated (maybe 9 1/2') and pointed towards the yard.
I really want this to work and not have to return it cuz I'm nearly out of options and do want peace & quiet.
Alan S.
Three Alsatian’s two doors down.
Life was a misery, 6 to 8 hours a day barking at all hours.
Two weeks after installing the device all is quiet. All the neighbours are happy too
