There was a similar thread about the same issue...not sure if it's about the same dog though.  It's under the "general" section...check it out.  The headline is "Say NO to dogs barking all night long" or something similar to that.

Diesel05, did you know that certain breeds of dogs are more prone to barking than others?  All 3 of my dogs are under 2 years of age and enjoy running around and barking at each other. I don't have neighbors behind me or on either side of me - or on the other side of the empty houses next to me. I also don't believe that the machine "hurts" the dogs. Simply a sound correction that the dogs do not like. I have had all 3 of my dogs through obedience classes but there wasn't a good solution for barking dogs. Since you seem to be an expert, maybe you can give me a good method to teach them to stop barking?  Muzzling my dogs sound like a much better option!!! Give me a break. Maybe I should just beat them until they stop barking? The obedience class teacher said yelling at them doesn't work either because the dogs think you are joining in on the fun. The only option the obedience teacher gave was to squirt them with a water bottle. My lot is 10K sq. ft. and running outside with a water pistol isn't going to get the job done.

Since it sounds like your dogs are perfect, I'm sure you won't have a problem with a neighbor wanting to purchase one of these machines.

I'm sure I will be able to turn my machine off in the next couple days and hopefully my dogs will bark less.

Diesel05 - you can borrow the machine when I'm done with it if you want!

You guys are funny!!!

Hey Diesel05, I heard the device Tio is talking about also keeps away flies and Section 8 renters. Can't be that bad huh?  

Diesel05- Simple question. Have you ever put a mussel on a dog? I am thinking no since you would then know how it works. Since it restricts them from opening their mouth far enough to bark. So when it is 112 outside and your dog can't open its mouth since you have a mussel on the dog dies and that is ok? I am figuring you don't know how dogs cool themselves do you....

"Dogs pant to regulate body temperature, as dogs have fewer swear glands than humans, and most of their sweat glands are located along the base of their feet. By panting, a dog can cool the mouth and tongue, along with blood which is circulated through the head, keeping body temperature at a safe and normal level. Although dogs pant to control escalating temperature, they cannot protect themselves against extreme heat, and pet owners should carefully monitor their animals during warm weather to prevent heatstroke. When dogs pant heavily during hot weather, it may be a sign of distress." -http://www.wisegeek.com/why-do-dogs-pant.htm- 

Believe me when my dogs pant they open their mouths farther then when they bark.

SOOOO I should mussel my dogs and cause them harm? Why don't you put duck tape on there mouth to keep them really quiet!

Seems Tio is about the only one trying to be mindful of his neighbors but yet you attack him. So if your neighbor had put one of these houses up to stop his dog from barking
1. You would probably never know about it
2. You would be happy about no barking dog
3. If your dog was the noise maker you probably would try anything to make it stop if your neighbors hated you for it.
4. You have a dog yet you lack the knowledge of how a dog survives.

So can we put a mussel on you and put you outside all day?

PS- If your dogs are inside and your neighbors had one of these sound machines your dogs would never hear it inside. FYI

Diesel05 - when you wrote: "The owners of annoying dogs should muzzle their dogs when they are outside or better yet be a responsible owner and take your dog to an obedience class. Not buy a machine that hurts their dogs when they bark. Thats some great pet ownership there!!"

Who were you exactly talking to? I would guess me, since I said I have annoying dogs and posted about the noise machine. Then you suggested my dogs need obedience classes, that I'm not a responsible owner, that I hurt my dogs and that I have poor dog ownership.

You weren't "attacking anyone originally" but that changed in your second reply. What type of reply did you expect from me? Like I have said before, I put my dogs in at night so you will never hear them while you are trying to sleep. My dogs are obedient (besides barking) and are inside for the hottest parts of the day, but when I put them out in the morning and in the evening, they run around and bark at each other. It started annoying me and since I do not know a good way to verbally change their behavior, my wife bought a machine that safely and effectively stops barking. If you don't like the machines, call Wal-Mart and complain that they shouldn't sell them.

The machine works up to 50 feet, so since it is in the middle of my backyard (my lot is over 100 feet wide) no other dogs besides mine would be affected.

Nowhere on the box does it have a disclaimer that this machine "hurts" dogs. It says something to the effect of "the dogs do not like the noise." I could have purchased a shock collar, but I don't think shock therapy is the best way to go about it.

I have an alarm system in my house and when the alarm goes off, it is the loudest, most aggravating sound I have ever heard. It doesn't hurt me, but it makes me never want to accidentally set it off. This is the way I look at this machine - aggravating, but not hurtful.

Don't gopher machines make the high frequency sound constantly? This machine doesn't. My 5 year old has gone up to it and screamed and the dogs were right next to her and they didn't run away or put their heads down in a fashion that they were in pain. Obviously I scolded my 5 year old and hopefully she will never do it again.

So I stand by my decision to purchase this machine and it seems to be working. If you don't like it, then I don't know what to tell you. Call animal control or the humane society on me.
