Dog silencers 17:30 - Jun 10 with 971 viewsjeera

Do they work?

I mean the type you point at a yapping thing and omits a signal and magically turns it into a nice doggy.

Or a whimpering mess, right now I don't care which.

Shouldn't this be on the american gun thread?

You could go the other route and buy some noise cancelling headphones. Your dog or someone elses is probably key. If it's your dog, then training the dog is the answer. if it's someone else's, then training the owner is probably better.

Is this an actual thing?

Our year old golden retriever has taken to patrolling the public footpath opposite our house and barks like a mentalist every time someone accesses it.

Was going to call that tall northern guy from TV that can talk dog, but this sounds way better.

I am not sure if you are talking about a hand held device that admits a very loud sound, that can only be heard by a dog

or an attachment (like a gun silencer) that can be fitted to a dog

I don't have a dog and when I did they were well trained.

Bloody cheek.

Also the mutt in question is a pug and headphones won't fit on it.


Edited for a bit of context: It's been going on for approx 4 years now Swanners and the owners aren't the most approachable. One neighbour knocked on the door one time and got a stream of abuse from the mad woman who lives there. I tried to mention it to the bloke and all I got was a shrug.

They've had letters from Environmental Protection and polite letters from neighbours. It calms down for a few weeks then goes back to normal. The barking can go on for hours on end and you can't be expected to sit in your own home with headphones on all day every day.

The worst was one summer's Sunday when they went out at 8:45am and got home at 8:30pm that evening. The dogs were shut outside and barely stopped for 12 hours.

I was thinking of this sort of thing:



Though not through Amazon.

I found with my own a small water pistol soon stopped unwanted barking. I don't mean half drowning the thing with a supersoaker just a quick spurt to the face. All you get is an indignant look but they soon get the idea.

Preferably try patrolling the area yourself and shoo your dog away each time it comes near. Command that area and make it yours.

Either/or Harry.

Whatever works first and the fastest.

Thanks mate! That’s a great shout. He’s as good as gold(en) the rest of the time and has the sweetest temperament, but by Christ, he has a bark on him. He seems to be very territorial over this footpath - it’s the only time he barks. Will try a small water pistol and obviously make our way up to water boarding

If I thought for one moment I'd get away with it I'd be out there with the pressure washer.

F**k me! You'd have thought that they could have come up with something a bit smaller than that! Don't think I'd bother carrying that around with me every time I took Rover out for a walk.

But the dog is suitably intimidated and is sitting quietly.

There are compromises to be made.

You can't have everything.

Or something about the dog being very far away and the device close up.

I'm not taking anything for a walk. I want to hold the thing out of the window and point it at the offending creature.

Like a remote control.

I've found that fitting a dog with a swazzle (what a Punch and Judy man uses) is more effective than a dog silencer, which does require a vet to fit

The dog soon becomes aware of how silly he sounds and, stops excessive barking.

So if you want to stop your dog barking..............

..............that's the way to do it




It is advisable not to let the dog near a string of sausages

We have a jack russell chihuahua cross which yaps at everybody who walks past the house especially if they are walking another dog We have tried everything to stop it barking including a silencer which has not made the slightest difference!
