People don’t take their dogs barking seriously enough. This issue came home to me when we received a letter from council informing us that somebody had complained about our dogs barking. The letter explained that the matter was under review and if it was upheld measures would be taken.
Now this came as a complete surprise to us because in our opinion are dogs do not bark excessively. Yes they do bark but is always a reason for it somebody coming down the drive or somebody is passing nearby. Now the person who complained obviously thought that this was excessive barking.
We were forced to keep a diary and in the diary we had to put a date and time and a note explaining why are dogs were barking. I can tell you this was a pain in the butt and very stressful knowing that are dogs were on trial.
It was then that we started looking at devices that could help us prevent a dogs barking. The best and most humane of these is a device that emits an inaudible sound the only your dog can hear every time it picks up a dog barking nearby.
This sound irritates the dog and eventually the dog makes the connection between the sound of his barking and the irritating noise. Overtime the barking is reduced or even completely eliminated. Until recently these devices have cost hundreds of dollars but now there is a cheaper alternative that works just as well.
It’s called BarkOff and it’s a small device that is easily portable that does the same job as its more expensive counterparts.
Remember one person’s territorial barking is another person’s nuisance party and these days we all need to be careful and keep a pet safe.
