ultrasonic bark control

Prawn Farmer · Jan 28, 2014

Has anyone used one of those ultrasonic bark control devices and do they work? Coyotes must be moving and my dog is driving us (and our neighbors) nuts with non-stop, until he gets hoarse barking at night. He's almost 10 and actually belongs to my youngest that moved off to the city due to a job change.

They work. My dog would only bark at me and no one else. If I were home he would bark himself hoarse.

However in your situation, stopping the barking without significant protecting the dog could get him killed by those same coyotes. They jumped/scaled an 8 foot fence and killed my friends dog. He had installed a similar bark free setup. Can the dog be moved into an enclosed kennel?

Yeah, its a catch 22. Need him to watch the barns and the house but unlike a few years ago we now have several 5 acre neighbors to the south of our farm that we need to be considerate of.
The kind of ultra-sonic bark control I looked at this morning at 3:00 a.m. :-( look like a bird house and emits a high ultra-sonic pitch. I thought about installing a couple of them around my southern border and that way he would only be limited to barking in that area near the neighbors. My wife says that only the dog and I could hear it. (?)
As far as a kennel - we considered renaming him "Digger Dawg" so it would need to be on concrete.
Every once in awhile there will be just the lower leg below the knee of a deer on the back porch so I have a feeling he's robbing a coyote's kill.

I've been thinking about trying one of the bird house models - I'm not sure of their range though.
My neighbor puts her two Jack Russels out when she leaves for work, and they bark non stop until she gets home

Yes, they do work. My new next door neighbor has a yard full of dogs, frustrated, fenced in dogs that never get walked or petted.

So, to pass the time, they bark. Someone turned her in, she thinks it was me but it wasn't.

She put shock collars on all of them. Quieted them right down, now only the big one trys to bark, comes out as a muffled woff woff.

Are they humane? Probably not, but neither is the lack of attention this lady is giving them. In reality, she should get rid of all of them, she doesn't have time for them.

To put one on a ten year old might be a bit of a strain. Maybe a new home would suit him better if he's not working out, just a thought...

"To put one on a ten year old might be a bit of a strain."
Huh? I said "ultrasonic" - I never mentioned a shock collar . . . . note the subject line and text?

"Maybe a new home would suit him better if he's not working out, just a thought..." Who said that he is not "working out"?
He is just doing what a dog does - barking at intruders - in this case coyotes. Giving up a good dog of 10 years isn't going to change his tendency to bark. My question in the text was "do ultrasonic bark control devices work?" as I'm trying to be considerate of my neighbors (who haven't complained yet) and find a solution here. Why read more into it there, Steve?

Sorry, I misread that. My apologies.

I"ve got a redbone hound that would lead a robber into my house and show him where everything is, but he hates coyotes and will bark all night. Before I had him they would be right in my yard. So, I can put up with his barking and thank him that my other animals are safe.
