[Dailydrool] barking deterrants

[Tina Zantrofski]

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience good or bad with the
anti-bark devices.  I have 3 dogs now and one of them has become a barker.
He barks at the neighbors and anyone or anything in the neighbor's yard
constantly.  I work at home and the sound of a barking dog drives me
absolutely nuts, especially when its my own dog!  I do not want him to
transfer this annoying behavior on to the other two.  I went online to
Petsafe.com and they have an antibark birdhouse, believe it or not. It looks
like a normal birdhouse but when the dog barks, apparently it emits a high
frequency noise that only the dog can hear and supposedly this will stop
them from barking. ??  They already wear the Invisible Fence collar so I
really can't put a second collar on to prevent the barking so that's not
really an option. Then there's the device that looks like a remote that you
can control remotely which again emits the high frequency noise.  I'm just
wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of these.
