(4 stars) - Works Great!
This little device sure surprised my 4 dogs when they went running to the backyard fence to bark at hikers passing by! You could tell there was something different by their reaction. They backed off and now bark at the hikers from a distance which I would consider to be less offensive. I can also see a little light blinking (as they bark) in the birdhouse to let me know it's working and the batteries are still charged.

(1 stars) - It's a cute yard decoration, but that's about it.
I have a "Barker Breaker" that I use when I'm at home to keep my dogs from barking. It releases a high-pitched beep when you press the button, and it works well. Unfortunately, it doesn't work too good on the automatic setting, so I purchased this item to try to keep my dogs from barking when I'm not home. I have two dogs, an Australian Cattle Dog and a Corgi/Border Collie - both about 50 lbs in size.

This thing didn't do anything for my dogs. They would stand right in front of it and bark, and the little red light would flash, but it wouldn't make them stop barking.

I don't know if they are just too big to be affected by the "ultrasonic" noise, or if they are used to the audible high-pitched beep, or what. Regardless, I'm sending this back because as cute as it is, it's not worth $45.

(1 stars) - did not deter dogs from barking.
our neighbors have 3 poorly trained dogs. perhaps this device only works well when a dog can easily associate his/her bark with that of the noise.

(3 stars) - Works on some dogs, not on others
My husband and I bought this product hoping it would be our relief from the 3 barking neighbor dogs next door. They are untrained, mixed breed dogs. We have our own dog, a golden retriever, but she does not bark. We put the birdhouse along our property line and pointed towards the neighbors dogs. It has absolutely no effect on them. They don't seem to be bothered by it at all. The continue to bark even when the device is activated. Our dog, on the other hand, is terrified of it. She's smart enough to know that when neighbor dogs are barking, she better not go outside. She trembles if we force her outside and runs for the door. So, if the dog(s) you are trying to use this on are trainable and intelligent, this product will work. If the dog(s) you are trying to use this on are stubborn and not trainable, don't waste your money.

Also, there is a LED light that flashes every 5 seconds to let you know the battery is good. This creates a problem if you are trying to use it on neighbor dogs and be discrete (it can be seen at night from a distance). You would need to conceal the LED with duct tape or something else.

(5 stars) - It works!!!
This works great. We have 2 dogs, and our backyard backs to a greenbelt with a walking path that has lots of people out walking their dogs. Needless to say, our dogs feel it is their duty to bark like crazy to defend their yard.......this product has greatly reduced the unnecessary barking. I love it, and I'm sure my neighbors do too!
