Customer Review: Viatek - Super Bark Stop Ultrasonic Dog Training Device BC16G
Summary: 2 Stars
I tried this item because it had 4 D cells instead of an anemic 9V, and also because some of the ads stated it was 130db, instead of the usual 120db.
It is a little too smart for my use. I guess it is programmed to recognize dog barks, but, my huskies howl at sirens. They don't bark. I finally caught it failing to trigger, with my husky howling at the top of his lungs 10ft directly in front of this device. He was answering a siren. The unit was set at max sensitivity and max volume and 1 bark which is the most sensitive setting.
I have another issue with this device, also. The control switches are very small and covered by a clear plastic screw-in dome. If you want to keep it protected from rain, you have to use a screw driver to access the controls, even to turn it off and on. This is unacceptable, because I wish to allow howls during the day, but stop them at night. So I turn it on during night, and off during day.
Perhaps this device works well for barking dogs. It seems well built, but it failed to trigger a single time at my howling husky, while at the same time, 20ft away, my other bark stop that looks like a bird house, was repeatedly triggering. The 'bird house' one didn't stop the howl, but it at least triggered, and from twice the distance.
(For reference, the bird house one really only works well, on a brand new 9V battery. After a couple days, it starts to loose its transmitting power, and my husky starts to ignore it.)
