Anti Bark
There is a new product which is being shown on TV a lot recently, Bark Off anti bark device. Does it really work as well as the ads on television say it does? Actually as seen on TV products are usually pretty good and actually do what they are supposed to do. They have to have a wow factor for them to be able to sell that way. Bark Off is no different. The commercial shows a dog barking, the lady turning on barkoff and the dog just stops, pretty simple.
The anti bark device is pretty simple. It emits an ultrasonic sound which only dogs can hear. When the bark and the barkoff turns on they get distracted from what they were barking at and listen to the noise. It works really well.
The website barkoffparade.com has lots of information regarding this exciting new product. You'll find a person from New York, testing the bark off product. She has 3 small dogs which are driving her crazy. As soon as the dogs start barking she flips on the bark off form barkoffparade.com and they are instantly silent. It works like a charm. And it's safe too!
Anti Bark
The Bark Off device remained behind with Connie for further testing and she eventually gave it a "two thumbs up" review. She was diligent and even tried it on her neighbor's dog with success. Connie did have some reservations, and I'm glad this was brought up. Sometimes we want our dogs to park. A dog instinctively is protective, and there's nothing better than a dog's bark to alert us to danger. Whether it's a middle of the night alert to danger, or a signal to us that our toddler is getting into mischief, we all appreciate our dog's barking at these times.
We've probably all heard stories about a dog saving the day with some type of heroic action, so turning off our dog's ability to alert us to danger is not something which sounds beneficial. So Connie, and I'm sure many others came up with a simple solution. She just turns it off during those times it's ok to hear some noise.
I would like to point this out though. The bark off device works only after the dog barks at least once which you can see at wwwbarkoffparade It is the sound of the bark which triggers the ultrasonic pulse, which cannot be heard by humans, to be released ultimately quieting the dog. So even when the device is engaged your dog will have the opportunity to "speak his mind" at least once. In my case, this would be enough to alert me to some danger. But, if you are in the kitchen and the dogs are out in the yard with the kids, I would keep it off just in case.
