The Safest Way to Stop Dog Barking - Anti-Bark Device Guide
Using your Ultrasonic anti bark devices Safely and Effectively to Stop Barking
Is your dog’s barking causing tension with neighbours, disrupting your home, or disturbing others in your community? An ultrasonic anti-bark device could be the safe, humane solution you’ve been looking for.
At DAZER Australia, we specialise in safe, portable, and easy-to-use bark control tools that help stop nuisance barking and improve behaviour—without causing pain or discomfort to your pet.
How Ultrasonic Anti-Bark Devices Work
An ultrasonic anti-bark device emits a high-frequency sound (around 25kHz) that only dogs can hear. This sound startles and distracts the dog, interrupting the barking cycle. Humans cannot hear the tone, and it will not damage a dog’s hearing.
The effect is similar to a “startle reflex”—a natural instinct that makes the dog pause what it’s doing. With consistent use, dogs learn to associate the sound with stopping barking.
Benefits of Using an Anti-Bark Device
✅ Safe and Humane – No shocks, sprays, or harm to your dog.
✅ Effective for Most Breeds & Sizes – Works for small, medium, and large dogs.
✅ Portable & Easy to Use – Ideal for walks, training, or at home.
✅ Versatile – Stops barking, corrects unwanted behaviour, and deters aggressive dogs.
When an Anti-Bark Device Can Help
Stop a neighbour’s dog from barking at you or your property
Prevent your dog from barking at other dogs or people
Train your dog to bark only on command
Deter aggressive dogs during walks or outdoor activities
How to Use a Handheld Anti-Bark Device
Point the device toward the barking dog.
Press the button for a short 1–2 second burst.
Ultrasonic sound will startle the dog, encouraging it to stop barking.
Repeat if barking continues
Be patient and consistent—it may take time for the dog to learn the connection.
Training Your Dog with the Device
Anti-bark devices can reenforce training your dog to respond to a verbal command:
Press the button when your dog barks.
As soon as the barking stops, reward with praise or a treat.
Repeat until your dog learns to stop barking on command, even without the device.
Deterring Aggressive Dogs
If approached by an aggressive dog:
Stand your ground and avoid running.
Point the device at the dog and press the button.
The ultrasonic tone will startle the dog and cause it to retreat.

Safety Precautions
While ultrasonic devices are safe and humane, follow these guidelines:
Avoid pointing directly at dog’s ears or use at very close range.
Limit activation to a few seconds at a time.
Not recommended for puppies under 9 months or pregnant dogs.
Always use as a training aid, not as a punishment.
Why Dogs Bark
Barking is natural—it’s how dogs communicate. But excessive barking often stems from:
Boredom or lack of stimulation
Anxiety or stress
Territorial behaviour
Attention-seeking
Addressing these causes alongside device training leads to better long-term results.

Training Your Dog to Stop Barking:
Anti bark devices can also be used to train your dog to stop barking on command. To do this, simply press the button when your dog is barking. The dog will be startled and distracted, and it will stop barking.
Once the dog has stopped barking, give it a treat or praise. This will teach the dog that it is rewarded for stopping barking when it hears the ultrasonic sound.
