Do you know that dog barks are very important? This is how they try to get your attention. They may have sensed trouble and would like you to know about it. Smaller dogs bark because they are hungry or they need to go outside and play. Simply put, dog barks are normal.
However, you also do not want your dogs to bark non stop. It will piss off not only you but also your neighbors and even guests. If you are planning to live in an apartment or condominium, tenants would be reluctant to accept you just because your dog cannot be kept quiet.

How They Work
These birdhouses have 50 feet range. This means that any bark that goes within such limit would immediately be detected. If your dog barks and the device happens to pick the sound up, the device will automatically send out ultrasonic sounds. These types are not heard by humans. Thus, you do not have to think about disturbing your neighbors or guests by such sounds.
However, because dogs have sensitive ears, they would be able to hear the sound. The high pitch noise will be enough to capture the attention of your dog and stop barking. As time goes on, your pet will also realize the relationship between his or her barks and the sounds produced. Eventually, he or she will stop barking uncontrollably.
