Does BarkOff Really Work?
BarkOff describes itself as a humane way to train one’s dog to stop barking at inconvenient times anytime, anywhere. They say that with this product, the job can be done more easily. This is because BarkOff uses ultrasonic technology to help you control your dog and stop them from barking. The ultrasonic signal that is sent out from BarkOff is inaudible to human ears, but it will instantly capture your dog’s attention and interrupt their barking pattern, they claim. The sound will calm your dog down and they will stop barking. BarkOff will help your dog learn the difference between nuisance barking, and barking that helps to protect your family and your home, they say. BarkOff is completely portable and has no wires or cords. It is small enough to fit in your pocket so you can take it virtually anywhere, and it can be used both indoors outdoors, they claim.
BarkOff Reviews
BarkOff worked for my barking Maltese. I had to purchase more than one though. I had them on all the time for the first week and after that I only turned them on when he started barking. The product does need a light or something to show that it is working.

A mini Schnauzer, and a Jack Russel would randomly start barking at the same time every night and if someone would come to the door. Once bark off goes on the dogs give a retreat bark as they head off to get out of ear shot. The trick is to just turn it on when they start barking so they know the pain is a bad thing. All I can say is that is works for little dogs.

I put new batteries in it and I could not get it to turn on. Never got to use it even once.

Got it, tried it, did not work. In fact, I just realized by reading the other reviews why my dog had been barking more – it’s the BarkOff!

Thank god i got these half price, they didnt work AT ALL! I put one where my dogs sleep at night (outside) and one farther down the fence where the neighbor waters his roses….they stood right in front of it and barked their heads off! Better off shelling out the money for the GOOD bark collars if barking is a problem.

!!!!! I could hear it but my aunt and cousin and uncle couldn’t. My pup kept on barking at anything. Oh no! There he goes again, barking at thin air.

This product works, but you can’t leave it on all the time, they get use to the sound, plus it drives them nuts. To train them you have to only turn it on when they bark, Then turn it off. Then back on again. they will get use to it and learn to not bark. It works great if you know how to use it.

I have a Lab/chow mix and the Bark off works great. I figured out that if I only turn it on when he barks and I tap it. He instantly stops barking. I also use it to call him in the house when he is outside, I turn it on and he will come running back to the house. I think this works great. But it seems to not work on little dogs. My dog is trained now that I don’t even have to turn the bark off on, I can just hold it up to show him it and he will not bark. I love it. I take it everywhere. It stops other dogs from barking at us. Even on the beach. :)
