Important Factors for Success
The effectiveness of any ultrasonic device to stop barking depends on several factors:
Age of the dog – Younger dogs may be more reactive.
Is the dog hard of hearing?
Distance – How far away is the barking dog?
Is this your dog or your neighbour’s?
Does the dog respond to voice commands?
Is the owner in control of the dog’s behaviour?
Please be aware
Some dogs may be deaf or have poor hearing, which can affect how well the device works.
Also, ultrasonic sound cannot pass through glass, brick, solid walls, or wooden fences.
How to Use the Device
Our diagram shows the ultrasonic sound arc. These devices operate line-of-sight and are effective up to:
7m with the Dazer II

Simply point the device over the top of the fence, in the direction of the barking dog, for best results.
How to Stop Neighbours Barking Dog
Understanding the Challenges
A dog won’t stop barking can be a frustrating issue for both responsible dog owners and neighbours. Many factors can contribute to this behaviour, including the dog's age, hearing, distance from the anti-barking device, ownership, and training. Younger dogs may bark more frequently due to curiosity or excitement, while dogs with hearing impairments might struggle to understand their surroundings. Effectiveness of anti-barking devices can depend on the distance between the device and the dog, and whether the barking dog is yours or your neighbour's. Many factors can influence your approach to the problem. Additionally, dogs that are well-trained and respond to voice commands may be less likely to bark excessively.
The Role of Anti-Barking Control Device
Ultrasonic bark control devices can be valuable tools in managing animal behaviour — especially for nuisance barking.
However, they do have limitations:
May be less effective with hearing-impaired dogs
Cannot penetrate solid walls or fences
Effectiveness decreases with distance
