Why it matters
Hang the birdhouse within 5 ft of the ground on a tree or post. When a dog barks, it emits an ultrasonic tone until barking stops, covering up to 50 ft or about 1/4 acre. One 9-volt battery lasts up to 2 months. It reacts to any dog in range, including a neighbor's.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Yard barking
- Discreet placement
- No collar
Look elsewhere if
- Homes with other dogs you don't want affected
- Dogs barking from fear or anxiety
- Deaf or hard-of-hearing dogs
Pros and cons
Pros
- No collar
- Discreet
- Covers 1/4 acre
Cons
- Affects all dogs
- 9V battery
- Dogs habituate
Limitations to weigh
- Find out why your dog barks first: boredom, fear, separation distress and alerting all need different fixes, and a bark collar can make fear or anxiety worse.
- Stations react to any dog in range, including neighbors' dogs and visiting pets, and can bother cats; many dogs get used to the sound.
