I know what you're talking about, I had one until the weather did it in. I had one dog it didn't work with, it drove him nuts. Maybe he had sensitive ears, but it worked for the others. I still have the paperwork and its called the Ultrasonic Kennel Silencer, manufactured by Powell Enterprises in Buda, Texas. Who knows if they're still made, as this was in the eighties. This was before websites, so there isn't one listed on my paperwork. I also have one like Stormy's and I haven't used it in ages.

It's not a soundless thingy at all. There are no buttons to push and you do not hold it yourself anyway. I wish I could find the paperwork here! However, I know others on this list have, in the past, been concerned about barking who got it and it works fine. It's something you HANG ON A WALL OUTSIDE. It'll ONLY work WHEN A DOG BARKS. Whatever it is that happens, or is activated by the BARKING, causes the dog to shut up. It works by electricity and has a 50 foot cord that comes with it so you can hang it far from the outlet if you need to do that. It is waterproof so can be outside without protection. I had not only my own dogs, but many boarders thru the years and it never affected any of them in a negative way. I am asking, herein, if someone on the List can tell Stormy and others the name etc. of this device. The manufacturer has a website showing other products as well. I just can't remember the name of the manufacturer or I'd tell you more.

Yo Barks. He doesn't bark all day and all night, just barks before my son gets home and barks everytime my son opens the door to his house. Drives both of us crazy. Annoys the heck out of my son. Soooo, Norma, I read what yo wrote about the noise only dogs can hear as a deterrent. I had one of those trainers (I have EVERYTHING yet LOL) that has a button to push to emit that soundless sound. (And, oh yes, I've tried training him to bark on command. Does it great. Tried crating him for a time out...he loves it. Tried the eCollar...doesn't faze him). So back to the soundless sound. I pushed the button and Tennie, my "home again" little bitch, Yo's sister, comes clinging to my side. hmmmmmm. Well, o.k., I"ll put her in the crate in the house, go out closer to YO!. I truly think Yo loves the soundless sound...he glances at me, and woof! Well, maybe it takes a while, so pressing button for 1/2 an hour...no change. Tonight, time for Yo to bark. YO Barks. TENNIE comes clinging to my side. Guess what, Norma (no L), I have now trained Tennie to be upset when YO barks, as she thinks the soundless sound will be coming...and SHE of all (now:-(, five dogs is the only one that has any reaction to the thing.! Don't we love our dogs? Stormy; not Sue. "You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
