  • This video shows speakers that I made to train my neighbors dogs to stop barking. The whole set up costs under $20.00. Over a few weeks I have stopped the dogs from barking. I received a lot of thanks from my side neighbors on stopping the barking.

    Laws need to be made MUCH stricter and then enforced so that neighbors don't have to go to war against neighbors. Nuisance noise like barking dogs and music should not extend beyond the property line. If government can't address this issue, why do we have government?

      @@LosAngelesPilot We wouldn't need such laws if we didn't have people enforcing their "freedom" while taking away someone else's, right? People should have the freedom to not have to listen to a fucking dog barking for hours and hours. That's not exaggeration for many people who have lived in such situations for years. For myself, I've ended up in this situation at each of the last 4 residences I've moved to. Each of which, I scoped out prior to the move and each time the neighborhood became a menace of dog owners that just don't give a fuck.

    My sympathies to anyone who puts up with insessent dog barking. I put up with dogs barking for over six years . . . not just occasional barking, but 24/7 at any time and for long durations. Cops were called, did nothing, so I called animal control, no help until I contacted city council and the dog controller's boss, who got on their case -- records were kept, animal control came out for a week and parked to listen -- then I and a neighbor went to court. This was first dealing with two pit bulls not far from my bedroom windows. I thought of doing window treatments to at least make my sleeping peaceful; however, being retired, I was a prisoner of these dogs in my own home . . . and you just get fed up with the lack of concern when the police drive by and the dogs, of course, do not cooperate as if “they know”. But the first time, I had a neighbor with school kids, who participated, and we both went to court. The dogs were a granddaughter's boyfriend's dogs -- the judge gave them three days or thirty days in jail -- the dogs were gone.
    About three months -- same family, only this time a grandson bought two more pit bulls, and I went through the same things all over again . . . even had to point out to the cop that there was a noise ordinance, let alone the dog nuisance ordinance, so he finally went to the door. I listened, and all the cop did was sympathize with the grandson. Again, animal control, but little to no help. A different neighbor, who had to get up early to work, finally had had enough, and she found out the name of the renter -- I called her and she realized she was responsible and the sad thing is -- she could have stopped it long before in both cases, because it was in their rental agreement -- NO DOGS. She quickly agreed and the dogs were gone in three days.
    With a number of months to a year, a NEW neighbor moved in unbeknownst to me as having FIVE (5) dogs, one of which was a border collie. Same thing all over again, cops, animal control, court (by myself), twice -- but this time, a basic slap on the wrist by what appeared to be an animal loving judge. I think she might have had to go to animal training, but she was saying in court that she “couldn't afford it” -- but consider the cost of animal feed -- FIVE DOGS, vet bills, etc., and not once in over six years did I see her walking the animals or hear much in the way of interacting with the dogs. She would not use a dog collar to train them and obviously did nothing else to stop them aside from putting up a tarp to stop them fromseeing through the fence . . . which did little to nothing to stop them barking. I did get a sound devise, that worked for a week or two and then must have stopped using it. Needless to say, I was furious. I did ask animal control about the legal use of the dog whistle, and her response, rather vague, but said she saw no problem “as long as you didn't blow directly in their ears!” Even animal control was annoyed when trying to notify her of a subpoena to court. The dogs CONTINUED to bark. The frustrating thing is that other neighbors will complain, but NOT get involved.
    I took this man's advice, but instead of making speakers with the PVC, etc., I bought some piezo tweeters from Parts Express, along with two capacitors to stop low frequencies and a small resistor to protect the little amp from too much ohm overload. It does stop them, but you have to be consistent . . . I had even tried a dog whistle, which helped, but one gets tired of jumping up and down and gets puffed out blowing a whistle all the time, so the setup helps there also.
    We have since then gained some more barking dogs in the neighborhood. City council won't help -- POLITICS, of course. But the dog whistles DO, so I have to remind them by simply turning it on for a few minutes if they seem to forget -- they do not like it.
    Some neighbors may complain if you use a recording of the whistles if they are too audible and are heard by your neighbors . . . just use the one's that are less to not audible to human ears. One more thing: DO NOT get yourself into legal problems by doing anything to the dogs or the owners -- you do not want to jepordize yourself legally by doing so -- that is not worth it, although I do empathize, trust me, with your plight, and the thoughts do cross one's mind to get relief. IF you happen to have neighbors who will stand with you, it will make it easier to get the dogs removed; otherwise, it is hard for a single home to do so -- trust me, I know!

We bought what we thought was our dream house and quickly realized one dog could ruin all the years you’ve save up and all the paper work we went though to get our home.. my kids now sleep with headphones in because they weren’t getting any sleep being woken up over and over takes a toll on you. I’ve called animal control, I’ve called police, I’ve posted on fo and all I get is “oh that poor dog” poor dog? How about the poor humans ! We bought a dog barking house gadget and it didn’t work ..I’ve read that the dum er the dog the less chance it will work and this is definitely a dumb dog. We are now talking about selling our house because it’s becoming to the point where I’m so frustrated I’m snapping and grouchy from not sleeping kids grades have gone down from no sleep... it’s sad how selfish people that don’t get a dog because they love it can ruin others lives!

      Wow you really went through it. I got one of the dog whistle cellphone apps and am about to try putting it on the megaphone.
      My guess is that the noise will only work when the dog knows his bark is going to have repercussions. So you have to time the whistle with the bark. Is that true?
      A lot of the dog bark devices I've seen stop working after a while. I could tell by measuring the output with an ocilliscope. It puts out a ~ 40MHz square wave when working or else nothing.
      I also got a piezo speaker, and an amp but need a little help making a circuit out of it. I'm not sure what value resistor will protect the piezo and if it should be in series or parallel to the piezo.. and the capacitor etc.

      Exactly. Neighbors that have dogs that occasionally bark are never an issue for people who get in these situations.

    I lived next to a barking dog for 7 years. I moved out 9 years ago, and I recently found out I have PTSD to this day that gets triggered everytime a high pitched dog barks. I had anxiety attacks randomly and went to a psychologist, who refered me to a hearing specialist who, after 4 appointments and many tests, confirmed it was PTSD from the dog barking all those years ago. I didn't think that was a thing, but apparently it is. So if you think you may have experienced that, you're not going crazy.

      It's easy to fix dog barking. Train them, when they start.You start the commands until the learn. If there is relapses you repeat the training. If the dog resist and ignore your command, put him in your bedroom for 30 or 60minutes, and then bring him back, if he barks again, correct him, if he insists, put him back to a room. Another method: the mouth device, your turn on, when he barks, he will shut up, and then he will learn gradually and won't need anymore to turn on the button, you just pretend it's on, keep using it even if it's off to make sure the dog won't get relapse. It's just like using those device vibration for pain, massage zzzzzzzzz. It benefits everybody and you live anywhere with no problems.

      It's so easy to train a dog to have good manners. There different methods: The Petco training included diploma graduation for good manners $100 to 200 training fee. Or put anti bark collar that will be less necessary gradually, you end up putting the collar without turning on because the dog already knows if he barks, something will happen, and then you don't need anymore the collar. And repeat the methods if there is relapse. Or the owner should train the dog, when barks: No! if he responds well, then compliments and treat. Has to be consistent the training over and over.

I haven't tried it on our area dogs yet but the fundamental problem is, this unit is limited to 20khz and many people can hear at that level. When I turn mine on my wife starts to complain. This is a fun project but not really what we're all looking for. The problem here is getting an ultrasonic unit that has enough power. All those cheap handheld units and those yard units are way too wimpy. Some day some wise person is going to market a super powerful high frequency (above human hearing range) device that can be heard for a mile or more. If such a unit can be produced at a reasonable price, that seller will make a ton of money once the word gets around. This is what everyone wants and so far nobody is doing it.

I didn't have a barking dog problem. My problem is keeping a neighbor's aggressive dog from constantly attempting to attack us in our own yard. I've talked to him about it but nothing is done. So I tried this unit hoping it would keep that dog out of our yard. So far it hasn't worked. And if I turn the volume up the "silent" dog sound is clearly heard by most people. I've since been told that the proper way to go is to order the KEMO Ultrasonic Signal Generator (sold on Amazon.com). One needs the proper speakers for it which are also sold on Amazon.

From earsplitting to dog-earsplitting (10khz to 40khz). No volume control, however...and no screw terminals, just short wire leads....but well worth the money!
      Can't seem to find anything on distance/ range though. I could do with something perhaps betweeen 50 to 100 feet, but perhaps I'll have to keep dreaming?

    I admire your spirit, ingenuity and handiness. I lack the handiness part. We made our final move away from subdivisions into a nice rural residential area on a four acre lot. The house next door sold to the nicest family -- who became hostile within 60 days, trespassing, walking back and forth along the front and sides of our home. So we had a survey and emplaced some fence posts so as not to restrict the deer's mobility but hoping the neighbors would see the property line and honor it. So the new wonderful neighbors bought a German Shepherd and since they don't have to go to work they walk and train that dog all day long every single day. They installed an invisible fence right up against our fence posts and now they walk it all day long. If we go anywhere near that side of our 4 acre property, the dog aggressively shadows us following u back and forth, barking and growling with human owners in tow, saying nothing. Except occasionally, "gee you're lucky we have an invisible fence!" I cant have something like this device Leonard made because they'd see me emplacing it, or see it in one of my trees and I couldn't really power it or connect it from the house 100 plus feet away. And we have a 400 foot property boundary. But I do wish I could have something like this. These neighbors would escalate somehow. They even send their little girl out with the dog to the far back corner of their property to stare at my husband while the dog barks at him. He feels so awkward. Then the husband comes running out like he was doing something wrong. Lord help us.

    The yappy dog my neighbor's got about a month ago isn't even a bark. It's a high-pitched shriek. They have random holes at the bottom of their block wall and it shrieks and yelps at everything it sees. I'm trying to get enough courage to go talk to them. It absolutely astounds me how people can just let their dog do that to the entire neighborhood. I see their actions as extremely aggressive.

    We tried animal control. Cops. All useless. Tried an ultrasonic unit that I had to set off whenever I heard the dog bark. Tried another unit that was audible to humans that beeped whenever it heard loud noises over the fence. That worked a little as it distracted the dog, but he kept barking all day long from boredom and anything else he saw or heard. We finally had to take our asshole neighbors to small claims court. That proved fruitless as the judge was a good ole' boy who obviously didn't think it was bad even though we had a neighbor's bark log along with our own and recordings.
    We finally moved. Problem solved.

Just like the old smoking and non-smoking sections in businesses. At some point, non-dog-owners are going to reach their breaking point and legislation will be enacted against barking dogs.

    Record the dog barking, then return it through loudspeakers at the dog owner's house until they take the constant barker inside. No more complaints. If it barks all day long inside their house, they will soon get the dog gone. See it outside during the day, just turn it's amplified barking back at it until they take it back inside, so they can't ignore it. Do not break noise ordinance laws by using it before 8 am or after 10 pm.

Why is it that the owners of these non-stop-barking dogs are not annoyed by the barking as much as we are?

    I think if you could generate an over 25kHz high power sound, any dog should shut up, our noise range only extends to 20kHz, after that the dog is still listening and is annoying, so the more power put into this frequency it theoretically should work. Note: There really should he a strike system for dogs, after 3 strikes the dog is taken away from the owner. My two neighbors dogs are driving me crazy.

    Thrilled to find your video. 3+ years I've been dealing with horrid, irresponsible, unapproachable neighbors. I live in an upscale area, was stunned by their responses to my kind approach, was even bearing gifts to help soften tension. Hillbillies asking me to squeal like a pig would make better neighbors.
    Few things I would love for you to clarify as I am not electronically savvy:
    What kind of amp did you get?
    Would you please clarify how to wire the speakers to power?
    I believe that you wired them into the male 3 prong plug, but it wasn't shown and I'm challenged by the neutral, ground, left, right identifications.
    I'm confused about the amp, where it is located within the chain.
    Is the amp kept inside your home for easy access to zap the dogs?
    As far as I can tell from watching your video multiple times, it goes
    speakers to male 3 prong
    3 prong to extension cord
    and I am lost as to where the amp is
    and how the amp is connected
    A simple, easy to read for the novice schematic would be greatly appreciated.
    I don't know how to message you privately to provide my email, so I'll post my public/spam email here so that you can reach out:

      hey man did you ever create on of these and was it effective? I ask because the sounds were audible to me and I don't want to the neighbors to find out...

      @@apersonontheinternet595 you could buy a power switch that is remote controlled, then when you hear them barking just use the remote to turn the sound on for a bit. then turn off when they stop. eventually they will associate bad sounds when they bark and should stop after a while.

    I watched a few tube videos from spaceman. He's got some good info on the subject about barking flea factories. Oops. I mean dogs.
    I built a sound cannon from some of the information I learned from his channel. A powerful one! When they start barking. I fire it up. All goes quiet now. They even cower under ther deck when it cranked up. I only use it when I'm trying to sleep

    What’s the max effective range? I’m at the end of my rope with 2 barkers in house behind ours. Animal Control can’t/won’t help. Thanks

    There is one video somewhere where the neighbor recorded all craziness and played back to the offender neighbor, and offender called the police, and the police cracked up and was on neighbor victim side.

    About to place my order for one of these. Sad when I have to spend $100 of my family's money due to my neighbors carelessness. They let out their dog numerous times throughout the night and it just barks all night long. I will have finally got to sleep and be jolted awake by it. I mentioned it to them and they said oh I think he thinks there's a dog down the hill, haha. No BS either way do you not know your dog is keeping everyone awake!!?? I mean just because you're retired doesn't mean all of us are. The law needs to do something about this It's BS.

    Will this bother cats? My neighbors don't care about their dogs barking.

      Mark D Thank you Mark. I feel the same way. Most dogs go better in light brown gravy to begin with. It's not the dogs fault. It's the owner but... A small piece dipped in lye. The dogs' appetite takes care of the rest.

    I just built this and it does seem to work real well with a single piezo. The only thing is when I turn the device on it first emits an audible sound as if it's working down to the subsonic frequency. Within less than a second it goes subsonic. Is there a way to prevent this ramp up process?

      hey man have you figured out how to solve that problem. Could I possibly buy one from you as I am not a tech guy...
