FAQs
Are these products painful to barking dogs and training dogs?
No. our Ultrasonic anti barking devices produce a loud sound that dogs can hear — an ultrasonic output that is 115 dB at 0.5 meter reference and is harmless to barking dogs or when you are training dogs. The sound pressure level is well below the threshold levels for pain for dogs. This frequency range is at 25 + or - 2 KHz; humans can hear to about 14 KHz, dogs as high as 40 KHz.
Anti Barking devices work by emitting a high pitched sound to produce a startle effect, or more technically called an alpha wave interruption — (much like when we hear a smoke alarm — our hearing is not harmed but the sound gets our full attention.) The dog's reaction to the Ultrasonic bark device is alerted to the sound and therefore being repelled from the source of where the sound is emitting and changes behaviour.
Watch this video of using the Dazer II on a barking dog.
Will the Anti Barking Device affect my own dog when I use it?
The Dog Repeller emits the ultrasonic sound in a 30 degree arc, so aim it away from your own dog when trying to deter other barking or aggressive dogs. A device was recently purchased by a horse rider who uses it to calm an aggressive dog when she rides. There was also no effect on the horse. The horse rider (Angel) wrote a review

What are the technical specifications of the stop barking device?
The ultrasonic unit produces output from a scanning disc at 0.5 meter, 115 dB. This frequency range is at 25 KHz ( + or - 2 KHz), humans can hear to about 14 KHz, dogs as high as 40 KHz. The benefit is to provide a startle effect, called an alpha wave interruption - (like when a human hears a smoke alarm - their hearing is not affected), the dogs’ reaction is deterred from the source of the strange sound.
