I live next to a house with a fenced in back yard that has been occupied by a variety of tenants and their canine friends. Normally the dogs don’t bother me since they are outdoors and I’d just as soon be inside. But every once in a while such as at 0600 this Thursday early morning barkfests are enough to wake me up before I am ready. So seeing this device in my RSS reader caused me to chuckle. The Outdoor Bark Control is designed to detect dogs barking and to respond with an ultrasonic noise. This irritating noise only audible to the dog (though I wonder if cats could hear it as well, that’d be interesting…) would train the dog not to bark as much. I think it’d be easier and cheaper just to talk with my neighbor should there be more morning incidents. Outdoor Bark Control can be purchased from Hammacer Schlemmer for $70 or from Amazon for $48. There are other products similar to this such as the Dog Silencer Pro which can be had for $90. |
