Is Bark Off Really Effective?

Have a dog who just doesn’t seem to know when to stop barking? Maybe you are living in an apartment, a condo, or a townhouse where your neighbors can hear your pooch barking and whining all day and night. A barking dog is indeed quite the nuisance and can even cause for you to get kicked out of your home and, in some situations, a dog’s bark may be enough reason to have him or her put down! Don’t worry though, there is an effective solution called Bark Off!

What is Bark Off?

The Bark Off device is a small device that can be placed both inside and outside of your home. If your dog goes into one of his or her barking tirades and he or she is within the range of the Bark Off, an ultrasonic signal (which is at a frequency that dogs can hear but humans cannot) is emitted, which then interrupts your dog’s barking and puts a stop to it immediately. Unlike the shock collar option or the cutting of your canine’s vocal cords, the ultrasonic signal does not harm your pet in any way. It does not hurt them or alter their behavior in a negative way.

Does Bark Off Work?

As with any product Bark Off may not work with every dog out there. Both old and young dogs can be trained with the Bark Off anti-bark system, but if your pet has a hearing impairment of any kind which may disable the effectiveness of bark offs ultrasonic sound waves, it may not work.

Dogs with severe anxiety disorders may not be trainable on Bark Off alone. The best way to use this product is as a tool in training and not as a sole solution. Talk to some dog trainers or other dog owners for tips and tricks on how to further discourage your dog’s barking habit.

One of my blog users made a great comment and I wanted to make sure that everyone sees it. Alice says, I bought my bark off device from the link you provided on your blog. I wanted to write and let you know that it actually works as demonstrated. I’m not a technical person, and I do not know how it works but I’m happy to say that it just does. Each time my terrier barks, I turn bark off on and he stops barking – just like that. I live in a townhouse and I was concerned that as she grows and becomes more animated she might get into trouble with the neighbors. So far so good, bark off works flawlessly, so that is one less thing we have to worry about. Now if we could get her from jumping on the couch! The price was right considering the cost of anti-bark collars and other anti barking methods. Just be sure to get a good set of AA batteries, turn bark off on and enjoy the peace and quiet.
