How to Stop a Neighbour's Dog Barking at Night
What to Do About a Neighbour's Barking Dog
Tired of Being Woken by Barking Dogs?
Whether it's your own dog or a neighbour's, constant barking during the night can disrupt your sleep, increase stress, and affect your quality of life.
The good news is that excessive barking can often be reduced once you understand what's causing it. Common reasons include boredom, separation anxiety, territorial behaviour, wildlife activity, environmental noises, and underlying medical issues.
In this guide, we'll cover practical ways to reduce night-time barking, explain what to do if a neighbour's dog is causing the problem, and answer common questions about ultrasonic barking deterrents such as the DAZER II, HUSH U20, and HUSH UB122
How to Stop Your Own Dog Barking at Night
Before considering any barking deterrent, start with the basics:
Ensure your dog gets adequate exercise during the day.
Provide mental stimulation through training, puzzles, and enrichment activities.
Establish a consistent bedtime routine.
Minimise triggers such as outside noises, passing wildlife, or visual distractions.
Consult your veterinarian if barking behaviour changes suddenly or seems unusual.
Fun fact: We receive many orders between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. from people who, like you, are searching for help right when the barking happens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a dog barking deterrent?
A: A handheld ultrasonic device that emits a high-frequency sound to stop barking. We have three models: DAZER II, HUSH U20 and HUSH UB122
Q: Is it loud?
A: Not to humans as it is almost inaudible. Dogs and cats, however, can hear it clearly (115 dBA).
Q: How does it work?
A: It works line of sight—if you could throw a tennis ball (or shine a torch) and hit the dog, the sound will reach it. The ultrasonic beam interrupts the dog’s thought process, breaking the barking cycle.
Q: What is the operating range?
DAZER II — up to 7m
HUSH U20 — up to 10m
HUSH UB122 — up to 15m
Beyond these distances, effectiveness drops.
Q: How quickly can I get one?
A: We post daily from Brisbane, with free standard shipping (now also to New Zealand) and Express Post available for faster delivery.
Q: Do anti-bark devices hurt dogs?
A: No—they do not harm the dog. They simply get its attention.
Q: Will ultrasonic anti-bark devices work for me?
A: In most cases, yes—results vary depending on the dogs and the situation.
