Bark Off is a specific tool to help owners who are frustrated with their dog’s barking get them to take a break or even stop barking entirely. It is claimed by some to be a miracle device, capable of finally giving you the good night’s sleep, or the dinner party with no interruptions that you just don’t get with a dog that is constantly barking.
Can it really be all that effective? The answer to that lies in a simple example. If anyone has ever seen someone blow a dog whistle, they will notice that while no humans notice a sound, dogs will often at least take a look to see what the noise is. Their hearing operates at a pitch that humans can’t recognize, and it definitely disrupts their rhythm. The Bark Off device works similarly. There is a ultra high pitch emitted that gets your dog’s attention each time that it is turned on and your dog barks. Can it lose effectiveness? Sure. But for people who are skilled and know what they are doing, it could be just what they need.
