BarkOff

My husband brought home a new ‘toy’ – one to help with dog barking. If our two dogs see a rabbit outside, they go nuts!

On their website, they say http://www.barkofftv.net/

Just switch on the BarkOff™ device and an ultrasonic signal, inaudible to human ears, instantly captures your dog’s attention and immediately interrupts the barking pattern.

Also many reviews say that the owners did not know if it was on or working, they could not hear anything.

While watching the series ‘The Greatest American Hero” on hulu.com, I kept hearing a whining / squealing noise. I would pause the show and it went away.

I later told my husband about it. He walked away, asked if I could hear it still.. I could. Another few seconds, could I hear it then? no. I looked at him and asked if he heard it. He said no.

He had turned the BarkOff on before I got home. I did not realize there was one. He would turn it off and on, and I could hear when something from the Hulu show set it off.

I would say it worked, the dogs stop barking after it goes off. But, on the other hand, for some reason, I can hear it too.

In all the reading I have done, and the reviews I have seen, I have not run into this yet.

Makes me wonder if I could hear a dog whistle.

One for the wall of weird.

Have anyone else run into this or used this product?
