Too expensive, not worth it.

I just don't see how that little thing could be loud enough to mask barking literally 10' away from me. I have kick ass speaker right by me on my bed that I use the Ipod app PureSleep with and even that can't mask it. This ain't no cheap speaker either.

True life experience:

We have 10+ dogs on our block. They are for the most part pretty quiet. However a few years ago there were a few that barked all night long and the owners were (evidently) oblivious to it. So when the dogs barked for 10 minutes or so Kipp would go out on the porch and start yelling "Hey your dog's barking, hey shut up dog" and other comments about all you do is bark shit and howl at the moon as long as they kept barking...then the dogs owners would come outside and tell Kipp to shut up and he'd say I will when your dog does. They'd either go back inside and put up with his shouting or shut the dogs up.

ya just kill someones best friend instead of asking first. great person you are.

Problem solved.

These do work good as we got one for our 2 dogs and they just stopped barking it was great. But you shouldn't have to buy one they should to be respectful.

hmmmmm I would have to find a pretty high place to mount that as the yard has a 6' privacy fence.

Our neighbor called the police on us for this issue. We were out of town, and it was during the afternoon. (We keep our dogs in at night.) After he also threatened to shoot our dog, we bought her a shock collar and built a nice new wooden fence to obscure our view of the guy.

Both strategies have had their intended effect, I'd say.

Obviously it isn't their best friend if they leave it outside like that for hours and ignore its pleas for attention.

But please do ask nicely the first time. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how much farther that gets you with people like me vs. thumping your chest out and having me cackle in your face. Some of us are the easiest going people in the world until you try and push us around. That's the only time I'll get defensive. I'll go out of my way to accommodate you if you show me the respect you deserve in return.

On a side note, this shit never comes up with me because I trained my mutt when she was a pup. She's a Jack Russell, so she barks, but every time she does she looks at me, hangs her head, and goes to bed. I don't even have to say it anymore.

Moral of the story, just like some people can't train their kids, even more people can't train their dogs.

Thats me right there:thumb:

Hopefully today is a better experience. Otherwise I will have to meet with him.
