Bark Control Ultrasonic
When it comes to training your dog to stop unnecessary barking, an ultrasonic bark control device may be the way forward. Among the many accessories and tools that eDog offers for training dogs, an ultrasonic device is one of the most versatile. Using a high-pitched ultrasonic sound that only dogs can hear, this device alerts them not to bark.
An ultrasonic bark control device detects barking from a certain distance and emits a high-frequency tone intended to irritate your dog and distract them from barking. In fact, that's what all bark modification tools aim to do: disrupt your dog's barking at the moment to reinforce better barking behaviour in the future.
With continued use of the device, your dog will eventually learn that the really annoying sound only occurs if they bark too much. Most dogs self-correct their barking habits by associating ultrasonic sounds with their own barking. However, it is important to remember that bark behaviour tools should not be used to suppress your dog's instinctive barking. These devices are best used in cases of excessive and unhealthy barking that stresses the dog out unnecessarily.
eDog offers a wide variety of dog essentials, grooming and training products to meet every dog owner's needs. We want you and your canine companion to live your best lives together.
How to choose the right ultrasonic bark control device?
In order to train your dog not to bark, you will need a device that matches the barking behaviour of your dog.
Bark control with ultrasonic energy is useful if your pup barks excessively, but be careful not to try to suppress their intuitive barking, which is part of their innate nature. We just want to disrupt any excessive barking behaviour.
Bark control ultrasonic devices are a humane and safe way of influencing your dog’s barking behaviour and, combined with other positive reinforcement training techniques, can be effective across most breeds.
Ultrasonic sound is directional, travelling like a light beam using sound waves. Barking control devices must be positioned so that they are as effective as possible since distance decreases the impact of sound. The device speaker should be placed near the area where your dog barks most and should not be mounted higher than two meters above your dog's head.
Our ultrasonic devices are suitable for use both indoors and outdoors undercover. They’re easily portable and have adjustable sensitivity settings.
If you have a large space, you might want to install two bark control ultrasonic units to ensure that you’re getting the right amount of coverage. Keep in mind that the sound likely won't travel through fences, buildings, dense foliage and plants, so when installing, ensure a clear path to where your dog spends their time when they’re barking excessively.
It is also possible that some dogs simply will not respond to dog anti-barking devices, especially if they are particularly stubborn. If this proves to be the case, we have a range of bark control options to try instead. If you’re looking for a collar based barking solution, we stock anti bark collars, including our spray based citronella collars and static electric collars for dogs.
How long should a bark control device be left on?
It’s recommended that bark control devices, like a bark control ultrasonic unit, are used between 8-10 hours and not used continuously throughout the day. It ensures your dog gets a break from the device and gets some time to process the association between their excessive barking and high-pitched sounds.
With time, you will see a change in your dog's behaviour, and you may decide to reduce the device's use. Nevertheless, all dogs learn at different rates, and you need to be patient and gentle with them. You might even see an increase in barking after initial exposure but give it a few days of use till they start to settle. Sometimes it might take up to a month to see improvement. Still, we encourage you to be consistent with using the device and supplement their training with other positive reinforcement techniques where necessary.
