PetSafe Deluxe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Control - Elite No Barking Deterrent for All Dog Sizes - Up to 1/4 Acre (50 ft) Coverage - Weatherproof - Timer for Scheduled Activation - Bird House Design

Pésimo, yo creo que tirar mi dinero a la basura hubiera funcionado más, es difícil de programar, los perros se asustaron la primera vez y después lo ignoraron por completo, pero lo que más me molestó, es que el dispositivo se activa con, literal, cualquier sonido, entonces, realmente no es correctivo, porque si fuera molesto para el perro solamente cuando el perro ladra, entendería la función del aparato, pero si el aparato se activa con absolutamente cualquier sonido que rebase los decibeles a los cuales está programado, el perro realmente no sabe ni de dónde viene el sonido ni por qué, es como llamarle la atención por hacerse del baño adentro de la casa, cuando no lo está haciendo. Me arrepiento de haberlo comprado, ahórrense el dinero y úsenlo en algo que realmente funcione.

Avoid. Do not buy. Stopped working outside within 10 days. Absolute tat.

I sit here at 6:50am on a Sunday not because I normally get up at 6:50am on a Sunday noooo. I’m up because the neighbors dogs were barking t their normal wake up time of 6:50am. Bark bark bark bark. I enjoy being startled awake every. Single. Morning. From these dogs I get to enjoy a heart rate that skyrockets from being startled awake followed by a migraine the size of Kentucky, followed by rage of epic proportions. Let me share the story of how I know this does not work on ALL dogs. I bought the “elite” out of desperation in hopes I would not have to confront my neighbors after 4 YEARS (yes you heard correctly 4 years) of this non stop barking. I test this out of the amazing box like Ralphie in A Christmas Story opening his air rifle. I immediately put the batteries in. OOOPS! I have a beautiful kind and VERY quiet golden retriever. He runs over to me like WTH momma???!? Runs to the door to do outside. Runs to end of driveway and just stares at house. I can’t get him to come back in. Oh. I but also Yay! It works! I’ll shut these neighbor dogs up once and for all. So now I have to plan. I’m 3 houses away from the dogs. So I plot to sneak over to my first neighbors house at night. I’ll hang it in their pine tree, they will never notice! So night comes. I “sneak” over to my neighbors back yard. Give away # 1. We have 4 feet of snow so now there are track to the tree. Oh well it’s March it has to melt soon. Keep going! I think to myself. So I get up to the tree and find a good Branco. Suddenly BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK! These dogs are like 5 feet away from me, behind a fence luckily. But they are supposed to be inside for the night!! So they scare the crap out of me with their blood curdling barks. And then, I smell cigarette smoke and see a tall silhouette out of the corner of my eye. It’s the dog owner staring at corner of his lot watching me hook up this thing. So now the dogs are out of control, he’s sitting there and in a spineless tone that you can’t even hear above his dogs death barks “hey be quiet”. Then he sees me in the dark, just stands there looking at a tree trying to pull a branch through the hoop it comes with, like this this doesn’t look weird at all. So he says “Uh, sorry about my dogs”. This unleashed the beast in my 110 pound 5’1” frame. Oh I lectured him. I told him how I am losing my mind with his dogs. He needs to control his dogs barking as all the neighbors are sick of it. That I’ve called the cops 10 times and still he does nothing!! He responds in a Forrest Gump like tone “Yeah we tried training but it doesn’t work” (dogs are still barking at this point!) so I say “Get a bark color! They have ones that spray, emit a high pitch tone or shock them…Control your dogs!!” And I walk away (using my same snow path I made going directly to my house). So now I sit and wait. 6:50am next morning arrives. BARK!….and then nothing. Omg this might work!! I celebrate. I was feeling relief for the first time in years not being woke up by satan dogs. Then…Sunday morning. I’m startled awake whilst dreaming. I sit there and I count…30 barks. 10 minutes later. 30 barks. Oh! Just now! More barks. I’m about to have a coronary. Last ditch effort will be to ask my passive aggressive neighbor if I can hang this on their fence to get a coupe feet closer. Now these neighbors…those barking dogs attacked their golden costing thousands in vet bills and traumatized their dog to this day. Hopefully they will let me hang this on their fence. If that does not work I am returning this. BTW. 2 days later my dog is still staring at me like “Why did you hurt me?”

Buen producto, funciona como debe. La batería le dura aproximadamente 3 semanas. El cableado que conecta la batería se ve algo frágil y tiene exceso de cables se batalla un poco en acomodar para cerrar la tapa.

My neighbors dog was driving me insane. I purchased this item thinking it was worth $50 just to give it a try, but really didn't think it would work. I set the timer to turn on at 3:30 which is the time I get home from work and turn off at 10 pm which is the time the dog usually stops barking. At 4:00 the dog let out 2 quick barks and instantly stopped. Since then it's like the dog has vanished. No barking AT ALL! This product works beyond my expectations. My wife says the dog does bark during the day when I'm not home and the unit is turned off so I may need to adjust the timer. But for now we're so happy to at least have peace between 3:30 and 10:00. The dog's owner plays the drums for 1 hour everyday around 4:00. My next wish list is that a product comes out that can handle that nuisance, but I won't hold my breath. When testing this unit at work prior to setting it up I could not hear the high frequency sound. I'm 50 years old with poor hearing. 2 people in the office that are in the 20's said the noise was unbearable. I held it right up to my ear and still could not hear it. They were 20 feet away and holding their ears closed to avoid the noise. That could be a problem for some people. I hung the unit in a tree right by the wall that separates our houses. The neighbors house is significantly lower than my house and I thought that would be a problem, but apparently not. I would definitely recommend this product. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. UPDATE: After 1 week the dog is barking again and seems to no longer be affected by the unit. I was so optimistic about this product, but 10 days later it's not working anymore. I'm going to leave it up and see what happens over the next few days, but I'm beginning to lose hope that it will survive the test of time. Maybe 6.5 hours a day is too much time to leave it on. I don't know. Back to the drawing board.
