Anti-Barking "Birdhouse" ... 🤔

[Snattlerake]

This is why it amuses me when people talk about what a ***** I am. I'm not a *****. What you are is a grade A ******* for causing me to BECOME a ***** to you.

I'm sure glad the education I have included the vocabulary ****, ****, *******, ************, and *******. Otherwise, I would be way under the bed in this thread.

I guess I don't make the grade. At least I now have something to which I can aspire.

Thank you THAT Girl for posting this.
Very good info, I'm way behind of all kinds of new technology.

JHFC the silence this morning has been nothing short of breathtaking!

MissYappy's owners don't leave her out any longer. They either come outside with her and stay until it is time to go back in or they let her back in when she STOPS barking. So 2 or 3 yaps at the most.

The GSD is a little more persistent but he will stop after a minute or 2.


Man ... This is GREAT!

What made you decide on those 2 devices? I'm getting them, just want a bit more info as there aren't any reviews that I see

Nothing. Just luck of the draw. One of them I thought was cute. The other one fits on top of a post in the backyard.

I do need to move the one aimed to the GSD' s yard a little bit. I think it's effectiveness is dampened a bit going through the wood panel fence. I know it works -- he's not out and out barking but he has found a "volume/pitch" of yarring that let's him voice his displeasure for a minute or so before he gives it up. I wish I could take that dog. He's so frustrated over there.

I'm gonna try out the one with the 50% coupon!

Yes, "aNUTHER" neighbors dog won't stop barking thread ...

So yep. Little MissYappy piece of ****'s playground is right outside our bedroom window. Big, honking GSD to the north that stays chained up to a big ass, old growth maple tree, in a big backyard. But he is at least on the other side of the yard from my bedroom.

First off, let me start by saying I do NOT blame these dogs for the situation we all find ourselves in. On the contrary -- the blame goes SQUARELY on the idiot owners who see their dogs as 1. their "baby". You know -- "pet parents." The people who not only don't understand dog behavior and how to work with their pets to produce happy, well-adjusted, POLITE animal companions, but also DO NOT WANT to understand because ... It's their "BABY" ... and 2. the exact opposite. Their pet is simply a possession to show off when they want and then slap back on a chain and toss it back into the yard when they are done, leaving the poor animal insanely frustrated.

However, NONE of any of this changes the fact that I have almost constant barking going on on both sides of my property anywhere from 5 to 6 in the morning to 11 to midnight, and occasionally even later into the early morning hours EVERY DAMNED DAY. All this has just been made worse by the fact that my windows are open because of all the construction going on in the house. (We are almost done! Thank you!! I can hardly wait ...) Anyway, it is like that little yappy thing is in my bedroom with me -- because ... Well ... SHE IS!

OK ... I've had all I can stand -- both figuratively and literally so off I go to Amazon. Last time I looked into these little ultrasonic things they were $100 each (granted that was a LONG time ago). I got 2 of them for $40 each. Thank you Amazon.

It took little Miss Yappy 2 barks ... A set of 2 right after I set up the birdhouse, and then another set of 2 little yaps a minute or two later, and she was done! OMG! I never in a hundred years thought I would get what can only be described as instantaneous results! Funniest thing about THAT whole deal?? Yeah, Mr. I Own Little MissYappy came outside to check on his damned dog BECAUSE SHE STOPPED BARKING!! And when he couldn't figure it out he took her back inside with him.. So ... All these years he let his little old lady yappy dogs carry on HE COULD HEAR THE LITTLE *****! (He said they couldn't hear their dogs barking because the AC -- or the heater -- was running.)

The GSD is quite a bit smarter than MissYappy. He has tried barking in several different pitches. He's also tried growling in several different pitches too! And he is sitting under his tree looking over here, trying to figure out just what it is that is making that crazy ass sound!

I'm not lifting a finger today. I'm gonna sit in my backyard with a beer and MY dogs and enjoy the peace and quiet ...

Thanks for the "not another barking dog' thread....timely...something I didn't yet know I needed. New family moved in next door....really nice young couple with 2yo boy, 4yo girl....twins in the oven.....and a damn Rottweiler 6mo pup. Dog barks constantly, especially at people on the paved trail behind our houses. Don't want neighbor problems, love hearing the kids playing, swimming in the pool when I'm on my deck. May give this a try. Have fence line trees I could hang the unit in, cover most of their yard, deck. May paint camo for less visual awareness, maybe look for a more natural housing design....something that looks like a branch extending from trunk. Thanks for the input. Geezer on a mission.....

We are dealing with this too. Their dogs are left outside all the time, in this heat and humidity and bark all the darn time. One of their dogs will bounce off of their side of fence, thinking it's a Mcbadass. One time our pit had had enough and used her head to hit the poly fence slat and knocked it loose. Little Mcbadass stuck its head through the fence and found out what a mistake it was. Our pit looked as happy a bird dog bringing the shot bird to hand. Granted, she caused no damage to the dog, but the owners were screaming and yelling for help. I handed their dog back to them and said this is a life lesson. Your dog has been doing this for months and you haven't done anything about. Maybe it's time. So far, it has been nice but that little turd will still bounce off the fence every once in while.
