How it Works:

When a barking dog is within 15 metres of the Barkmate Ultrasonic Bark Control device, the microphone Bark Sensor of the device picks up the annoying barking sound. Then it emits a high pitched ultrasonic sound heard by dogs but not by humans. Startled by the high-pitched sound that is safe and effective, the dog should stop barking, as it will associate its bark with this unpleasant noise. When the dog stops barking the ultrasonic sounds also stops. The Barkmate ultrasonic device has 3 sensitivity levels to choose from that indicate what barking level activates the unit and a test mode. This device is great to help to stop neighbour's dog barking. Hang it on or near the neighbours fence!

Installation and Setup: 
The Barkmate Outdoor  stop barking device should be placed facing the dog and within the range of the dog (Max 15 metres). The unit is designed with provisions for hanging or mounting and should be positioned at a height of no more than 1.5 metres. It can be also placed on the tree, fence, pole, etc. For best results, the area between the Outdoor Bark Control device and the barking dog should be free of any large obstacles.
