We’ve researched all types of bark-collars and sprays in the past, and none of them seemed to be effective or trained by causing pain a BIG No-No in my eyes. The BarkOff works by emitting silent ultrasonic waves that are only audible to animals. It effectively focuses the dog on the sound and it distract the dog from barking too much. It’s not supposed to be painful.

Then we saw this on the local news channel here in Buffalo and that clinched it.

It costs $10 plus S&H and you get 2 little BarkOff devices. It comes with a wall mount, and all it needs to work is a 9 volt battery (not included). You can put the second one in your pocket when your outdoors with your dog, they are not that big.

It arrived in just under 2 weeks and I am trying it out. It is touted as being safe, painless, environmentally friendly, and easy to use. That sounds good to me-if it works.. I hung the wall mount by the door and I will let you know in a week! Let me know if BarkOff worked for you.

OK, so here’s my UPDATE (Sept. 23, 2009)

Potty Patch made my impossible pet into a clean freak

Do you spend too much time cleaning up after your pet because it needed to go out but couldn’t? You may have every intention of returning earlier, but if something comes up and you can’t get away, it might not be able to wait until you arrive home. When that happens there is another mess to clean up – if you can find it. Some pets are embarrassed about the situation and use a hidden spot for a potty, so it could be days before it is discovered, making the clean up even more difficult. The resulting unsanitary condition in your home could be a health concern for your family. Eliminate that problem by purchasing the Potty Patch and your pet will become a happy and contented clean freak. Your pet will be more comfortable, and you will find life much less stressful, since you won’t need to be so concerned if it is sometimes inconvenient to come home in time to take it outside.

Using the Potty Patch in the winter is the only way

When snow is blowing and it’s freezing outside, wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t always have to take your pet out? Some pets don’t like cold weather any more than you do and would really rather stay inside if they could. There is a better and more comfortable solution to the predicament. Using a Potty Patch is an easy and inexpensive way to avoid the necessity of going out with your pet in cold or icy weather. Just imagine how much more pleasant your winter will be if you don’t have to bundle up in coat, hat, boots and gloves to take your pet out unless you want to. After purchasing the Potty Patch, you and your pet will both think you were very wise to find the perfect answer to a chilly problem.

How the Potty Patch works

The first layer of Potty Patch is soft imitation grass that lets liquid run through it to a tray which can hold up to a gallon of fluid. Separating the tray and grass is a grate that holds the top layer and keeps it dry. It is simple to clean by rinsing with soapy water. Because the tray has a large capacity, it can be used several times before it needs to be emptied. This product also works well for training puppies. You will find the Potty Patch a real value for the money, only $39.95 plus shipping and handling for the regular size. There are many advantages to this amazing product:

· Two sizes available – the regular measures 17” x 27” and the large is 27” x 34”
· Cleans easily with soapy water
· Large capacity tray can be used several times before emptying
· Convenient for your pet to use when you can’t be there
· Great for use when weather is bad
· Helps keep your home more sanitary
· Wonderful for training puppies

When you can find a simple solution to create less stress for both you and your pet it is really priceless. You will be so happy with Potty Patch that you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.
