The "NO" Machine
Date: December 6, 2005

VERY dissatisfied
Date: October 26, 2009
"Purchased two of these and both were defective. When barking occurs the light should illuminate to designate that it is working. No light and no response to barking unless the manual button is pushed which isn't helpful if you're not in the room."

A GREAT SOLUTION
Date: October 3, 2009
"My one-year old chihuahua is well behaved, but barks up a storm when someone comes to the door or sees another person or dog through the window.
I bought this and in under a day he has given up his barking ways.
I couldn't be happier with this product!"

It works
Date: August 27, 2009
"After reading all the negative reviews I was wondering if I am wasting my money. This appeared to be a pretty safe product so I decided to give it a try. It works great on my Schnauzer, but my long hair Dachshund is not paying attention to the signal. Since the Schnauzer was the cause of all the barking and my Dachshund just went along for the ride I am happy that I now have a quiet house. I have the bark control only for 24 hrs."

Didn't work for me, but might for you.
Date: July 28, 2009
"I think this item could work well... for the right dog. It does what it says it does, but our old dog didn't pay much attention to it.
A more skittish dog might respond well."

PetSafe Ultrasonice Bark Contro L Pet Training Sys

"I do not recommend this product. My chihuahua-mix completely ignored any signal that may or may not have come from it. It did not function with her barking. I manually pushed the button but she did not react to it."

Cats Hear it Too!
Date: July 3, 2009
"Desperate times call for ignoring the reviews... DON'T.
I have a collie who was 'distracted' the first day and then it didn't phase her anymore. Her desire to bark was stronger.
The worst part is i may have just kept trying but the cats became very distrubed whenever it went off and would run out of the room. Apparantly it bothers them more!"

"Worked great on my 9 month old lhasa apso. I used it on my patio where he likes to bark at my neighbors. When he barked the sound startled him so he learned not to bark or to bark softly. My neighbors haven't complained since i got it. Worked a lot better than the more expensive static collar which really scared him and which he learned to scratch off to the side so it wouldnt work. This was a better solution for small areas."

Does the job
Date: June 8, 2009
"I bougth this product because I live in an apartment building and my 1 1/2 year old lab started barking when anyone opened or closed the front door, walked up or down the stairs or came anywhere near the door to the apartment. I already have a bark collar, but I don't feel comfortable leaving it on him when I'm not home incase it malfunctions. I use the collar in the car for extended rides, but for house use it's not as effective. I bought this to help when I wasn't home to cut down on his barking, so far it's been 3 days. The first day he would bark a few times, then stop...bark a few times then stop, each time barking less. Now that I'm home from work he barks maybe once when someone opens the door and then he stops. The buzz only goes off for extended barking fits so it doesn't completely stop him from barking, which I like! I don't want him to forever stop barking.
CONS: No on/off switch. Also, fairly expensive for what it does, BUT it solved my apartment/neighbor issue so I am happy with the purchase."

less than satisfied
Date: May 1, 2009
"We bought this product because our two Australian Shepherds get a little bark happy. They bark when someone rings the doorbell, when they see a car pull up(even if it's our neighbors,) when they see strangers... etc... Although at first the noise made them stop in their tracks it definitely did not meet our needs or expectations. It seemed to affect our older 3 1/2 year old Aussie more than our 1 year old. It also went off constantly anytime my husband raised his voice to either talk over the TV or was in another room trying to have a conversation. Maybe I am niave to think that it should be able to differenciate between a human speaking loudly and a dog barking continually but it seems like a simple design flaw. The product also does not let out a correction tone when they do their "excited bark" which occurs when a friend comes over. Even now, the garbage collectors came past, they barked.... no tone.... So all in all, this product did not affect our dogs and I would not recommend it."

Depends on Dogs Personality
Date: January 16, 2009
"I have two small dogs (Maltese and Yorkie). It works awesome on the Maltese. As soon as she hears it she runs to the other room and hides. She is also scared of the vacuum, bikes, strollers etc.. The Yorkie thinks it is a game. He actually likes it and barks up at it, wags his tail and runs in circles. He is not afraid of the vacuum, bikes, stollers etc.. So I think it will work if you have a timid dog like my maltese. The microphone does not work. (Maybe because they are small dogs) so I have to actually get up and hit the manual button for it to work. I don't really mind using the manual button because then I decide when they get punished and I also tell them quiet at the same time so they can associate it with a word. At least I have one dog on the way to being trained but on to the next idea for the Yorkie! Good Luck & its worth a try!"

Do Not Buy!!!!
Date: June 18, 2008
"I purchased this about a week ago because I have 3 Poms. The two little one(4 and 7 lbs) love to bark when outside. We had tried bark collars in the past, but those did not work and I felt bad that I may be hurting them. So I bought this, and it does not work. It has never stopped them from barking on its own. I always had to push the button on top. But that only worked for the first day. Now it does not work at all, no matter how long I hold down the button. I will be taking this back today, and hopefully will be able to find something that does what it says it will do."

Bad Purchase
Date: April 19, 2008
"I bought this to keep my two dogs from barking when someone knocks on the door, it did not affect them what-so-ever. I do not suggest that anyone buy this, it is a waste of money, and it constantly went through batteries."

PetSafe Ultrasonic Bark Control Pet Training Syste
Date: March 17, 2008
"It works for about 5 minutes. This was a complete waste of money. You have to take it and hold it near the dog and manually push the button, because it does not work on it's own. After a short time, even doing it manually, you have to push the button about 4 or 5 times before the dog pays any attention to it."

"Worked for the very first day. I was impressed. Now my German Shepherd isn't even effected by it now. Was told I can return it, if it didnt work. On my way back to Petco now to exchange, or even " Upgrade " to something that does work.

Poor Product
Date: February 8, 2008
"I bought this product yesterday. I have a Beagle who barks every morning at 5am. I put the PetSafe right next to the crate (about 2 feet away). The Beagle started barking this morning...and kept on barking. I think this product may work for a limited number of dog breeds with a certain bark tone. The product does work when you press the button to manually activate it. The dog stops what he's doing and starts looking around. Too bad it doesn't work the way it's supposed to."

Bark Control
Date: January 21, 2008
"Worked at first but after a few days my dog kept barking. I could have returned this but my dog stopped reacting to this right after the return time period. I wouldn't waste your money on this item."
