..... silence using conventional ultrasonic devices due to challenges presented by lack of effective range, false triggering and inconsistency. Dog Silencer Pro addresses all of these challenges - with more of an edge than competetive devices.
How anti-barking devices work ? Typically, automatic devices work by emitting a corrective ultrasonic sound in response to barking. A tiny, internal pick-up microphone detects barking, or, similar sound, then triggers a corrective ultrasonic tone heard by dogs. When this training sequence is consistently repeated, in response to barking, the dog learns to associate it's barking with the corrective ultrasonic tone and ceases to bark. With most devices, an offending dog's bark must within 25 to 50 feet for the device to function reliably. A dog positioned facing away from the device when barking, wind, obstructions and competing sounds all act to limit, or negate performance. False triggering caused by sudden loud sounds, even gusts of wind, serve to disrupt anti-bark training and confuse, even torment an offending dog.
Two excellent such products are Super Bark Free, by Lentek/Koolatron and, of course Dog Silencer Pro from Good Life. Each has pros and cons. Super Bark Free is a highly reliable, more affordable and water tight product great for within 50 feet and it has lots of battery power making it very, very adaptable for remote use when an AC power outlet isn't feasible. Alternately, customer satisfaction seems to support the Goodlife product, Dog Silencer Pro, for extended range beyond 50 feet and, of course, the ultimate accessory - a remote control.
Dog Silencer Pro The manufacturer, Good Life, claim an effective bark detection range of up to 75 feet and a corrective tone reach up to 200 feet. Such capability is purportedly accomplished by an "exclusive high pressure transducer" (speaker) to produce potent corrective sound waves effectively heard by a dog within 200, possibly 300 feet, away. Further, they hold, a range of sounds are produced to target the dog with various tones for optimal effectiveness.
Dog Silencer Pro utilizes exclusive Bark Recognition Technology™ to "hear" and react only to the sound of barking.
A useful feature and this is where this product shines, is the key chain remote control. Similar to a remote control car key, this feature allows you to independently trigger the main unit from up to 500 feet away ! So if Fido next door is barking incessantly you can ensure triggering of the corrective tone with the push of a button to step-up consistent, anti-bark training. No other product on the market has this feature.
What you'll receive from TESCO Ent...this is important Dog Silencer Pro Deluxe includes accessories that allow the most flexibility of installation and maximum effectiveness. If powered by the 9 volt battery only, the device won't effectively do the job because a frequently barking dog will simply drain the power and wear out the battery. The included AC adaptor with 6 foot power cord eliminates that fault and the included 75 foot extension lead gives you plenty of slack for optimal placement of the device on a fence, tree, post or high up on the side of a house.
