PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Control
Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
Bring peace and quiet to your backyard using the PetSafe Outdoor Bark Control. Cleverly disguised as a birdhouse, the unit can be placed anywhere in your yard or hung from a tree. Whenever your dog (or your neighbor's dog) barks, he will hear a safe, but annoying ultrasonic sound that's inaudible to humans. As soon as he stops barking, the ultrasonic sound stops. The unit can only detect your dog's bark when he is in front of it, so picking the best placement for your unit is key! This weatherproof unit covers 1/4-acre area, but if you need more coverage, simply purchase additional units for your entire backyard area. The battery-operated device uses 1 9-volt battery and lasts up to 2 months depending on how often your dog barks. With a little time and patience, your dog will learn not to bark in the backyard so you can enjoy the outdoors together, peacefully. Trust PetSafe to help keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.
- - Ultrasonic Bark Control - When your dog (or your neighbor's dog) starts barking, the unit emits a safe, but annoying high-pitched ultrasonic tone; when the barking stops, the tone also stops
- - Discrete Design - Hang the cleverly designed birdhouse in various places around your yard or property line; keep the unit within 5 feet from the ground
- - 1/4-Acre Coverage - Hang the birdhouse in a tree, on a fence post or anywhere in your yard to cover up to a 1/4-acre area; if you need to cover more space simply purchase additional units
- - Weatherproof - Use this bark deterrent in any season and during all weather conditions to stop excessive barking
- - Battery-Powered - Unit uses 1 9-volt alkaline battery (not included); battery lasts up to 2 months depending on how often the dog barks
- - No Bark Promise - All dogs respond differently to ultrasonic tone; if this product does not work for your dog please reach out to PetSafe Customer Care to find the right solution for you and your pet

The PetSafe Outdoor Bark Control should be placed facing the dog and within range of the dog. The unit is designed with provisions for hanging or mounting and should be positioned at a height of no more than 5 feet. The Outdoor Bark Control can also stand alone. It can be placed in a tree, hanging from a pole, on a fence post, etc. For best results, the area between the Outdoor Bark Control and the dog should be free of any large obstacles. Place the PetSafe Outdoor Bark Control within range of the dog with the unit switched to Low, Medium or High Sensitivity. Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Outdoor Bark Control is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and stop barking. You should notice a reduction in the dog's barking within the first two weeks that the Outdoor Bark Control is in use. Please note this product may not work on deaf or hearing impaired dogs. Has 3 levels of sensitivity: Level 1 - up to 15 feet Level 2 - up to 30 feet Level 3 - up to 50 feet.

Questions
Can more than 1 unit ne used at the same time? I have a large yard with neighbors on both sides.
- Thank you for asking about this, Susan! While multiple units should not be used in situations where their areas of effect would overlap, it would be possible to use multiple units to cover a large enough area where the units would not overlap. With that being said, it is crucial to remember that the most critical part of any training tool to deter barking is the positive reinforcement provided while working with your dog- high value treats and praise when they cease barking after hearing the tone, etc. Since this is not possible with dogs that are not yours, this does create more variability in effectiveness.
Helpful?
What age is this unit safe for
- Thank you for the great question! We do not have a age restriction for the Ultrasonic Outdoor bark control, however it is recommended that the dog is over the age of 3 weeks. (This is when most dogs hearing is developed.)
Helpful?
Our dog barks for 8 hours straight whilr we are away from the home, will this placed indoors stop his barking?
- Thank you for your question! The Ultrasonic Outdoor Bark Control is designed for outdoor use only and should never be used indoors. The ultrasonic is too loud for a contained, indoor area.
Helpful?
If its pointed towards a neighbors house to stop their barking would my dogs still hear it if they are behind the bird house? Wondering how the range works
- I think if your dogs hear and respond to it, it won't matter what direction it is facing. Unfortunately, my dogs totally ignored it (schnauzer and yorkie).
Helpful?
Will this bother my cats if they are outside and not in the direction of the barking?
- No it will not bother your cats but it won't bother the dogs either; it didn't work at all for me. I put it outside to deter my neighbors' dog's barking and the dog was not phased at all! I wouldn't recommend this product at all.
Helpful?
If we hang the unit outside will it affect our indoor cats?
- Thank you for your great question! This unit must be in the same vicinity as the pet for them to hear it. With your cats inside and the unit outside, they should not be affected by it.
Helpful?
Can this be used on small (4lb) dogs? Can it be used indoors?
- It can be used indoors and for small dogs.
Helpful?
Can I use this indoors? This model seems to have better reviews than your indoor model.
- Yes
Helpful?
If there are chickens outside the dogs kennel, will they set off the ultrasonic sound?
- Thank you for this question! The PetSafe Ultrasonic Outdoor Bark Control is activated by a dog bark. It is possible the unit will be activated by other pets depending on the pitch and volume of their sounds.
Helpful?
Will this work in wooded area? Will the trees obstruct the signal?
- Great question, Juliet! You will see the best results when this product has direct line of sight to the area where barking is the most active.

do ultrasonic hand held devices stop dogs from barking whenever anybody walks by our apt.door?
Is there a device to stop my dog's barking when she sees passersby with dogs? (she does it constantly) but I would still like for her to bark as a guardian dog, especially at night
My dog will not stop barking I have tried bark collar don't work he barks after I go back in side and will not stop barking he had food water and all toys but all he does is walking back and forth and barks after I leave him he's an outside dog
Hello I have a 5 month old rescue dog who won’t stop barking at night (probably separation anxiety once he comes out of deep sleep). What are thoughts on anti barking electronic devices? Recommended or not kind to animals? Do they work?
My dog is petrified to go outside after shock from invisible fence
Please help me train my dog to stop barking!!!
After speaking with our veterinarian I was able to train my dog not to run up to people or other dogs while off leash by using premium treats outside and less premium treats while indoors. My current issue is shes running into our neighbours backyard (new subdivision, no yard/fences etc.) because they throw food back there. I don’t drive and there’s no dog park nearby. I want her to run and play ball. Do you think it would be a bad idea to get a remote shock collar?
My dog is a chihuahua mix who barks at anyone who passes our house as well as anyone we pass on the street as she goes for a walk. She went for dog training at Petco and they finally suggested I should buy a anti-bark collar. I hate to use a anti-bark collar. Any suggestions as to how to remedy her barking?
So my puppy chews her fencing of her dog run. A high respected trainer recommended a remote stem collar, as it isn’t SA as she doesn’t care about me when she comes out just wants to sniff and play outside, so what I’m going to do is have someone leave in a car and stay and if she chews the run she gets a stem, the trainer said she trained a few dogs with same issue and fixed within a week -2. I got Esky Dog Shock collar a good brand? Is this mean? I think it’s crueler to let her break her teeth
So we are going to use a remote collar to train the puppy to never chew the chainlink fence she doesn’t do it often . A trainer on YouTube Solidk9 training recommended. I think it’s better to have a mild stem correction than broken teeth one day. Also going to use to work on her recall she is 80% reliable everywhere but backyard that’s 10% she comes back. What brands on amazon are good? And how do I condition her to the collar?
My one year old chihuahua screams loud when I leave him. I want to purchase a pet safe bark collar he weighs 5lbs, can you recommend a product?
What is a good option for stubborn barking dogs other than "shock collars"?
