This product has been a life saver for our young son with a life threatening allergy to dogs. Works best in a 15ft range. It does work and stops unleashed dogs from approaching.

I normally don't make time for reviews but this item is so wonderful I want to post flyers for it throughout my neighborhood as the barking dog problem is rampant. The short version...The pros: It will quiet a barking dog with sensitive ears,it really does shut them up! The cons: It doesn't work through walls! You have to be near the dog (w/in 50ft) for it to have an effect. Get this item if you have a barking dog problem and an inconsiderate neighbor who refuses to do anything about it.
The story: Everytime anyone used to go outside of my newly purchased house, the neighbor's dog would bark incessantly. Not to mention the fact than anytime anything happened w/in earshot the dog would be barking. I asked the neighbor if she could do something about this and she replied, "He's a Lab, they just bark". Unacceptable and not true, only untrained ones do. I tried dog treats, I tried coaxing then I resorted to the hose, and all it did was raise my waterbill and make a large stripe in my lawn very green. So we built a large privacy fence (at our expense) and the barking did not stop. This "Dazer" was my last hope. So the day came to try it out (read: "the moment it arrived in the mail" comes WITH batteries!)It works exceptionally well!!!! I can't tell you how empowering this thing is. I feel like John Wayne. To finally have something to stop the barking. It's so peaceful when my family, friends and I go outside. If the dog starts, I walk over, aim it in the dog's direction push and hold the button and say "Quiet", the animal stops and runs in the house so quickly, you'd think I'd maced it. So I am covertly training my neighbor's dog for her! I was skeptical but relieved to have a tool to bring respite to this barking phenomenon that appears to be taking over the peaceful homes of America due to socially irresponsible dog owners (don't get me started). PS: I love animals. I have 2 well trained dogs myself, that have never needed a Dazer as I took them AND myself to dog training courses. (I'd never heard of it before until I Googled "how to stop your neighbor's dog from barking") Get this, if you value peace and quiet.
Thank you Dazer!!! July 13, 2007

I am very pleased with the Dazer!!
The next-door neighbors own 2 dogs that they by the way they don't care about hence they leave them out in the backyard all the time... for them to bark and torture me very effectively.
The `fence' between the 2 houses is a 6-feet wall. When someone comes out to the backyard the dogs immediately run towards the common fence and bark as loud as possible; though they are small/medium-sized, their barks are quite loud and bothersome.
I used the Dazer today for the first time... I heard them barking and went out into my backyard and went close to the backyard where they ran to immediately, barking and barking non-stop.
I `dazed' them once and they immediately ran away from the fence and one of the dogs quit barking- the small one. The larger dog -though also ran away, kept barking.
But I decided to invest 5 minutes to train them and stayed there so every time I heard barks -mostly the large dog because the small one wouldn't bark again, I hit the button on the dazer and though the dog became more irritated, it was clear that something was bothering him but he ended up quitting the barking...I know I probably will have to invest a few more days/weeks to fully train them, but it was very effective.
It is wonderful, it works!!!! I couldn't hear a thing but clearly it was very effective on the dogs... I am very happy with the product, it works!!!!

I love this thing. My wife has seven dogs and a couple of them are a real pain. The two that stay outside are barkers and have gotten animal control and the ploice called on us by our wonderful neighbor. I tried a $50.00 bark coller on the loudest one but the battery lasts a little over a week before you needed a new one and the battery was $6.00 at radio shack, though it did work while the battery was new it got to be costly and a pain to replace the battery every time he started barking again.
We purchased the Dazer 2 and I was amazed. The first time I used it the dog acted like he'd been slapped and stagered back a step. He doesn't like the sound at all though I can hear nothing.
That was a month ago and he has all but stopped barking completely. Using verbal commands with it the dog knows I mean business and all I have to do now is point at him and say HUSH and he takes a quarter step back and is silent and stays that way. The other dog is 13 y/o and 3/4 deaf and can hear it but it hasn't worked as well on her though she stops while you're in front of her.
The other issue is the 2 y/o black lab that is as hyper as a cat in a rat trap. [we have cats too, its just a phrase.] The lab responds to it and does what she's told but usually goes back to the behavior when I'm out of sight [sigh]... she's going to take a bit more work, though she has stopped jumping on the door when she wants back in after I spent two days waiting just inside the screen door to daze her when she jumped on the door. She is a smart dog but wants it her way most of the time.
The wife watches that dog whisperer guy [I read or find something else to do] but I was stunned the other day watching him handle a dog when he turned to the owner and said "Dogs learn quickly,... its the humans that need training".
This Dazer isn't a magic cure all but it gets their attention while you let them know what you want them to do, then positive reinforcement with a pat and a "good boy" when they stop the behavior.
With all the inbreeding and cross breeding going on you're going to find dogs that are just dumber than a post and it will take more work but they WILL learn. Wish they had these for kids back in the day. [just kidding]

I bought this for my neighbor's dog who has a tendency to sit under my kitchen window in the evenings and bark at any activity it sees. With the Dazer, I slide open my window and give him a shot and he runs home where he belongs. As long as he doesn't see me in the window it works fairly well, but he likes me and if he sees me all bets are off. This dog is medium-sized. I have tried it on larger dogs and it didn't seem to have an effect. Oh, well, I guess nothing is perfect. It works well for the purpose for which I purchased it. What irritates me are irresponsible dog owners who don't control their animals behavior and don't realize or don't care how annoying the barking is to their neighbors.
