Doesn't deter any barking
This doesn't do anything at all and is a complete waste of money. We've tried it for weeks. It makes absolutely no difference in the dog barking.

It really works!! :-)
Last week we put an offer in on a house only to find out once we walked into the backyard, the neighbor's dog started barking incessantly. I looked up some ways to deal with the problem and this was one of the products recommended. By the time I got it, we decided to rescind our offer, but we kept it because our own dog can get barky sometimes. He is a Shih Tzu and is sweet as pie, but whenever anyone comes up to the door, including us, he starts barking as if there's a burglar trying to get in. He's fine as soon as we open the door, but it is pretty nerve wracking. When I opened up the package, I was surprised at how large it is. The picture shows what it looks like in comparison to the door knob it hangs on. It was very simple to install. It has a 9 V battery included and you just have to take the strip off the end and attach it, and it's ready to go. The instructions say to hang it facing near where the dog is most likely to be. You test it by turning it on, then bark into it. If the green light flashes, then you know it's doing its job. The signal is only supposed to be heard by dogs, but I swore that I could hear it just faintly because I had it right up to my face. The real test came when we tried it with our dog. We did a few test runs, where we would bark really loud with him in the room. We could see the green light flash and lo and behold, our dog got this funny look on his face like he couldn't figure out what was going on. So every once in a while we would do that, and regardless of wherever he was in the room the same thing would happen. The next day we left as usual, and when we came home, we walked up to the door jingling our keys. This is normally his cue to start howling. But this time he only barked a couple times and then stopped. That night I was up past midnight and he must've heard something outside and he started his alarm bark. This time, though, he barked a couple times, stopped and then barked a couple more times, and then stopped altogether. Since then he hasn't barked at all. Now when I come in, I go straight to him and give him lots of pets to let him know he's done a great job. He looks much more relaxed and happy. I'm understanding from another product I checked into that it's recommended to change the frequency every so often, maybe every 1 to 2 weeks so that the dog can't get used to it. I don't think we'll have that problem, maybe that's more for bigger dogs if they're outside most of the time. This is really a fantastic product! Am going to recommend to our vet. :-)

Does not work.
I’ve given this product a month in my house and it doesn’t work one bit, I can tell that the product is on because the battery is already dead, but this didn’t affect my neighbors dogs at all, they still incessantly bark into my yard at my dogs all day, everyday. Unfortunately this was a giant waste of money for what I needed.

Great range and effectiveness
Neighbor's dog barked a few times and caught on. Ended up about 60 ft away right next to the garage. Parked a bit when near the garage but not too much. Dog is catching on now and realizes that when I am outside it better not bark.Great product. Can't wait until the extended, extended range version is available. 🙂🙂👍

Does not work
I had very high hopes for this only to be extremely let down. Does not phase dogs barking at all. Will be returning and getting a refund.

Yes and no
It works great for my big dog. I don’t think my little dog can even hear it. But there seem to be two design flaws. 1. It’s super sensitive. It will go off if the tv is on or my teen is being noisy or we close a door, or even wind. Therefore, we only turn it on for short periods of time when the dog is barking. 2. There isn’t a clear on/off switch. It’s just a button and you cannot tell if it’s on or off without tapping it and making the sound go off, which hardly seems fair to the dog.

Works well
I have 2 Bassett hounds and bought this device to keep the barking at a minimum, since they like to bark at all the squirrels and birds and leaves in the backyard. I can honestly say that it worked for one of the dogs but not the other for some reason. I tried adjusting the device as it comes with 3 settings but again only worked on one as that dog did not bark when device was on. I seriously doubt it’s the device and more the dog himself. I give this device a 4 star rating. Thank you Amazon for having these devices available and love the fact I received it within days.

Does not work .
I have a 90 pound female Rottweiler that since she has seen a dog in the golf carts flips out whenever one passes by and I bought this hoping it would help and it DOES NOT work at all . I hope this review hells someone else . It’s getting returned .
