Bark Arrester, September 17, 2007
By R. Potter (West Coast, U.S.A.)
We’ve been bothered by a neighbor’s dog that comes out periodically day and night and just barks for 10 to 30 minutes — usually facing our house. We got this product, found a spot in the trees facing the dog, and set it up. It’s really worked as advertised. The dog starting barking, as usual, but then seemed to bark fewer times, and with less noise. As three weeks have passed, we hear the dog give one or two “test” yelps (more than barks) presumably to see if it still gets
“zapped’ by the machine. Since it does, it stops barking immediately. No more gritting teeth (for us) for 10 to 30 minutes, as before. So, I’m delighted with this and wholeheartedly recommend it.

OMG, why did’nt I buy this months ago, November 8, 2007
By Michael Fekel(los angeles)
If you have dogs like mine that bark just for fun, over EVERYTHING, and you want ton fix it buy this birdhouse. It worked instantly! We have 3 very vocal dogs, a german sheppard (THEY ARE NOTORIOUS BARKERS)and 2 little yippy dogs. It has even helped with their indoor barking, they definately think twice before they do it. I am not telling you anything but the truth, I wish I had bought this months/yrs ago. It has helped even our neighbors dog who would get it a bark-off with our dogs. Now they are angels. It has only been up for about 14 hrs. and I feel
compelled to promote this product to anyone considering buying it. It is well worth the money!

I bought this item out of desperation. I have done everything I could reasonably do to get the neighbors to get their dogs to stop barking (I called them, they were cited by the city once, I even would go out there and sound off a boat horn that is really really loud) but they would eventually let them back into their normal pattern of barking every 10 – 20 minutes for a couple minutes at a time sometimes ALL DAY LONG. It was horribly intrusive (as I can hear them throughout my entire house when they bark.)
I put this product on a slender pole so it is stationed 1ft over the fence line directed at where the dogs bark. Since that day the barking has almost completely stopped. The only time I hear them ( and now it is not very often, maybe once a week) is when they bark once and that’s it. I can only think they are stopping because the ultrasonic device is doing its job!
Thank you PETSAFE! I was almost to the point of putting my home up for sale and moving. Now I can enjoy my home and backyard!
