Description

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.

Customers say

Customers are divided on this outdoor ultrasonic bark control device. About half report rapid, dramatic results—barking stopping within hours or days, with some noting effects on neighboring dogs too. However, effectiveness varies significantly by individual dog; many find one dog responds while another ignores it entirely. Nearly four in ten customers report complete failure, with no barking reduction despite correct installation. Some mention devices stopped working after weeks, requiring battery replacements or exchanges. A few note rapid battery drain, ultrasonic tone audible to humans, or dogs becoming agitated rather than quieted. Overall, results are inconsistent and unpredictable.

This product promotes no barking, however, it did not stop one dog walking our fence line or even our own dogs from barking back, the bark fest continues. Trying to find a project that actually does what it says, stops all barking.

Completely useless waste of money. Tested it, verified it works. Tried every setting over the course of 3 days. Arguably made the dog bark more having it In front of its face. Find something that actually works, this isn't it. Not sure how it is the #1 recommended deterrent on Google and through a.i. Must have an incredible marketing team.

Doesn’t work on a small yappy dog. I have it hung 5 feet from the ground in a dead tree but the fence is a foot higher. I hung it higher to clear the fence and it still doesn’t work

No, I do not recommend this product.

I bought this to help with neighbors excessive and loud dog barking. This didn’t help at all. Like , not even a little. I bought a 9 volt battery and put a post in the backyard to hang and everything. Didn’t help in the slightest. Only thing that it did was the green light kept flashing. So the battery worked but this thing did absolutely nothing. Don’t waste your money. Money is already tight these days. Look elsewhere. This is an absolute rip off.

Questions

1 - 10 of 13 Questions

My neighbor's small dog has a loud but high pitch yelp. Will this device activate when it receives a pitch much higher than an average dog bark?

  1. Yes it should work. I got my info from a dog trainer.



Can more than 1 unit ne used at the same time? I have a large yard with neighbors on both sides.

  1. 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.



What age is this unit safe for

  1. 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.)



Our dog barks for 8 hours straight whilr we are away from the home, will this placed indoors stop his barking?

  1. 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.



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

  1. 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).



Will this bother my cats if they are outside and not in the direction of the barking?

  1. 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.



If we hang the unit outside will it affect our indoor cats?

  1. 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.



Can this be used on small (4lb) dogs? Can it be used indoors?

  1. It can be used indoors and for small dogs.



Can I use this indoors? This model seems to have better reviews than your indoor model.

  1. Yes



If there are chickens outside the dogs kennel, will they set off the ultrasonic sound?

  1. 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.
