Great for small breeds
Date: November 16, 2009
"I bought this for my shihtzu and toy poodle, they will not stop barking! Shock collars wouldn't work spray bottles...nothing! So I tried this and it is a charm they have completely stopped barking."

Sleeping again
Date: November 14, 2009
"If you have had dog trouble, you must give this a try. We have been woken up daily at 5am, took them to court, two months later they get a third dog, let them out daily at 7am, then a bark at 5am, then out 7am till 9am. This unit is pointing at my neighbors yard, our fence and thier front door. The dogs won't bark, and if they do, they don't put much effort into their bark and won't bark repeatedly. I'm sleeping again, are you?"

stops them in mid-woof
Date: November 2, 2009
"I have four small dogs. This worked on all four of them. My Shih tzu particularly hated it so I had to move it to other side of my garage so she would go outside. (my garage is in the middle of my back yard) I have an audible alarm on the other side and that doesn't bother her as much. Works great."

Doesn't work for all dogs
Date: September 20, 2009
"My 9 month old chihuahua loves to bark. I bought this product with the hope that it would finally stop. Unfortunately my little tough guy wasn't even phased by it. His barking did not even skip a beat. I guess it is most effective if your dog scares easily?"

It actually worked!
Date: August 24, 2009
"After reading all of the reviews I figured I had a 50/50 shot at getting my neighbors dog to stop barking at 5:00 am not to mention throughout the day and evening. I bought it at a Petco store and paid $79.99 but I wanted to make sure I had a place to return it if it didn't work.
So, I brought it home, put in the battery, tested it and put it up where the dog would be within 50 feet. I only had to wait about 15 minutes before the dog came outside. She barked once and stopped, then it wait about 30 seconds and barked again and stopped and finally a third time and she stopped again. It has been 5 days now and the barking has completely stopped. I have left it on 24/7 from day one and I might start turning it off during the day but the dog still goes outside, she just doesn't bark!
I was skeptical about this product but it has worked on this dog and now I can sleep in on the weekend!!"

From skeptic to firm Believer!!
Date: March 17, 2009
"I reluctantly purchased this silly looking birdhouse from Petco tonight after deciding I was desperate to keep my barking chihuahua from making me the annoying new neighbor. To my delight, I put it to the test and rang the doorbell. As usual my dog barked, then suddenly shrieked in horror at the sound. He's totally freaked out right now but I haven't heard a peep from him ever since. This is a miracle product!!!"

Suprisingly Good Product
Date: March 3, 2009
"I have a Sheltie and German Shepard Mix and we have tried several products to stop the out of control barking every time someone walks by the house, comes to the door etc. with no luck. (The Shepard would respond to deterrents but not the Sheltie.) We bought this product and within an hour of turning it on the noise level from those two dropped by at least 75%! They still have a few little outbursts but, they are short outbursts now instead of continual barking fits. Well worth the money, I would buy it again and have recommended it to others. This is the only way we've found to stop the barking without cruel shock collars and the like."

yorkies
Date: February 25, 2009
"Does not work on Yorkies. There are 3 of them. It does absolutely nothing to stop their barking. Very disappointing. We can't even step out our back door. Petco's customer service was excellent though. We would order a product from them again. We are also looking forward to having one of their stores in our town. Maybe Yorkie's just don't know it's supposed to hurt!"

My Yappy Dogs Stopped Yapping!!
Date: January 20, 2009
"I have a Pomeranian who would bark his head off the entire time he was outside, and a Cavachon that loved to join him. I was pretty sure my neighbors weren’t enjoying this (especially at 5am) so I looked into buying bark control collars. When I came across the bird house I was pretty skeptical but figured I’d give it a shot. When it arrived my daughter and I couldn't wait to try it out so after we put the battery in my daughter started acting like a dog and barking at it. Sure enough, it made a barely audible beep and the dogs took off - not like it hurt but like "what in the world was that!!" We hung the bird house outside the door so I could just turn it on when the dogs were out since I read about short battery life. Cub, the Pomeranian and leader in mischief, barked a few times and was quiet... one more bark, then nothing! It’s been 4 days and the dogs don’t bark at all when they are outside now - even if the bird house isn’t turned on!! Unbelievable!! I couldn’t be more impressed!"

Didn't work for our dog :(
Date: December 31, 2008
"Our dog barks from the second he's let outside until the second he's let inside. Unfortunately this didn't work to deter him. He would bark, and it was obviously bothering him, but he would just bark right through it. Plus, we have 2 dogs, so I felt bad for the other dog because I'm sure it was bothering him. Had to take it back and take a different route :(."

Works great!
Date: September 20, 2008
"I have 4 miniature schnauzers. One of them is the ringleader and her barking stirs up the others into a frenzy when dogs walk past our house. I put the birdhouse in the back yard yesterday, and at the first bark, 2 of the dogs immediately tucked their tails and ran inside. The ringleader shut up immediately and ran to the corner. This morning several dogs walked past the yard, and I watched 2 of my dogs run back and forth barely whimpering for fear of the piercing noise. The other 2 ran inside and kept quiet. I'm recommending this to everybody I know. Time will tell whether it keeps them quiet in the long term."

Works on some dogs
Date: September 9, 2008
"I bought this birdhouse in desperation to get my yellow lab to stop barking. It does work on him but on my pitbull/lab mix it doesn't. He barks right through the sound. He even looks at it while he is barking. This product does work but it depends on the dog."

Thank you PetSafe!!
Date: July 17, 2008
"In desperation for peace and quiet, I purchased this to cease the extremely loud and obnoxious barking of my next door neighbor's very large dog. Having read many reviews saying it absolutely does not work, I was very skeptical. To my surprise and great relief, it works with this dog. The first couple of days the dog barked occasionally. After, about a week the barking completely ceased. I have had Bark Control for 5 mos. now and I never hear barking. At one point in time, I thought the dog was gone it was so quiet. Thank you PetSafe!! I would have given 5 Paws, but I took one Paw away because it runs on batteries (one 9v). I would prefer the option of an ac adaptor. I've had to replace the batteries every two months or so because the dog never barks. The more the bark the shorter the battery life. My advice if you are skeptical like I was, purchase Bark Control and keep your receipt in case it does not work for your dog or your neighbor's dog. Each dog responds differently and I don't think it has anything to do with size or breed. Good luck to you!"

It worked for Us!!!!!
Date: May 30, 2008
"Our Goldendoodle had been barking nonstop EVERY night, but only in the backyard. I didn't want to hurt him and didn't want him to stop all barking -- just not in the backyard at night. This birdhouse did the trick! I hung it up and didn't hear a peep from that moment on! I'd recommend it."

Great Product
Date: May 20, 2008
"I have two German Shepherds that bark all day, everyday and we bought this product a few days ago. To our surprise this product actually works. We tried a lot of things to stop the dogs from barking and nothing ever worked, they just kept on barking. After setting up this little contraption, they stopped barking almost immediately. I can't remember the last time it was this quiet. I'm very impressed by this product and would recommend it to anyone that has a dog that has uncontrollable barking."

Good piece of gear
Date: March 10, 2008
"This little bird house really worked well for us. We have 6 dogs ranging from a 5lb yorkiepom to a 120 lb Mastiff. Took them one day to figure out not to bark with this thing turned on. We keep it off now, and if they happen to bark all I have to do is act like I'm going to turn it on and they shush."
