The best ultrasonic bark deterrent

The Modus Ultrasonic Bark Control Device is a manual, standalone device that you can use to help curb your dog’s barking or discourage other unwanted behavior.

As an alternate anti-bark tool, an ultrasonic deterrent is a device that will emit a high-pitched frequency when a dog’s bark is detected. Dogs are capable of hearing frequencies as high as 47,000 to 65,000 Hz, while adult humans cannot hear frequencies above 20,000 Hz, according to the American Kennel Club. Most ultrasonic deterrents will start at frequencies around 25,000 Hz so that only dogs can hear them.

The Modus Ultrasonic Dog Bark Deterrent is a manual, standalone device that you can use to help curb your dog’s barking or discourage unwanted behavior. When your dog barks, just press the battery-powered control device (a green light will illuminate), and a 25,000-Hz signal will sound. Only your dog will pick it up within 16.4 feet of the device. Remember, any dog within range can pick up the frequency, so it’s best to use it in a single-dog home.

To turn the device off, simply hold the control button down for 10 seconds and the green light indicator will turn off.

Although there is a range restriction, this device is a great tool because it allows you to correct different types of barking in various situations. Dr. Houpt explained that dogs bark for many reasons. Sometimes, we hope, they bark to alert us of an intruder and sometimes they bark because they want the Thanksgiving leftovers.
