A Bird House Stops a Barking Dog?

Training your dog to respond to you and your commands; i.e., “quiet” when barking, “come” when called, etc., is very important. There are times when you aren’t at home or unable to get to them quick enough if they are extremely distracted. For those times, I found a great product. It is made to use outside.

The product (my personal assistant) is made by Guardian. It is designed to look like a bird house. It is made of plastic and houses an electronic device that triggers a high-pitched tone when a dog barks. In other words – your dog runs outside, barks and the dog will hear a sound at a frequency heard only to them. It distracts them and since they don’t enjoy the sound, they refrain from barking.

Depending on the distraction, it may not work 100% of the time. It’s meant as a tool – as an addition to training. Perhaps you’ll find it useful too.
