Customer Review: No longer a hostage in my own backyard!
Summary: 5 Stars
I normally don't make time for reviews but this item is so wonderful I want to post flyers for it throughout my neighborhood as the barking dog problem is rampant. The short version...The pros: It will quiet a barking dog with sensitive ears,it really does shut them up! The cons: It doesn't work through walls! You have to be near the dog (w/in 50ft) for it to have an effect. Get this item if you have a barking dog problem and an inconsiderate neighbor who refuses to do anything about it.
The story: Everytime anyone used to go outside of my newly purchased house, the neighbor's dog would bark incessantly. Not to mention the fact than anytime anything happened w/in earshot the dog would be barking. I asked the neighbor if she could do something about this and she replied, "He's a Lab, they just bark". Unacceptable and not true, only untrained ones do. I tried dog treats, I tried coaxing then I resorted to the hose, and all it did was raise my waterbill and make a large stripe in my lawn very green. So we built a large privacy fence (at our expense) and the barking did not stop. This "Dazer" was my last hope. So the day came to try it out (read: "the moment it arrived in the mail" comes WITH batteries!)It works exceptionally well!!!! I can't tell you how empowering this thing is. I feel like John Wayne. To finally have something to stop the barking. It's so peaceful when my family, friends and I go outside. If the dog starts, I walk over, aim it in the dog's direction push and hold the button and say "Quiet", the animal stops and runs in the house so quickly, you'd think I'd maced it. So I am covertly training my neighbor's dog for her! I was skeptical but relieved to have a tool to bring respite to this barking phenomenon that appears to be taking over the peaceful homes of America due to socially irresponsible dog owners (don't get me started). PS: I love animals. I have 2 well trained dogs myself, that have never needed a Dazer as I took them AND myself to dog training courses. (I'd never heard of it before until I Googled "how to stop your neighbor's dog from barking") Get this, if you value peace and quiet.
Customer Review: Works great to control barking
Summary: 5 Stars
Luckily, this device works pretty good on our neighbor's large dog. The dog is left outside all day while the neighbor is at work and the dog barks at everything from delivery men to visitors to passers-by out of sheer boredom. The dog is so loud, I can't even do simple gardening or chat with other neighbors because the dog just explodes into non-stop barking.
So, I bought this dazer device and here's what happened: the first time I went outside to garden, the dog, predictably, lost his mind barking while simultaneously jumping at me from the other side of the block fence. I pointed this dazer at him and repeatedly pressed the button, maybe for a second or two each time. He instantly stopped jumping up at me and turned around to walk to the other side of his yard, still emitting a bark or two just to let me know what's what.
The next day, I went outside again to garden, and went straight over to the fence where the dog usually is, dazer in hand. This time, he heard me coming, and starting walking to the other side of his yard even before I reached the fence. He wasn't barking, but he was letting out a low growl, again just to let me know what's what.
The next day, again I went to the fence dazer in hand, and again the dog started walking to the other side of his yard before I reached the fence, this time no growling.
Fast forward to a week later and the dog still isn't barking or jumping up at me when I'm outside. I still go outside armed with the dazer, just in case. The dog, however, still barks at passers-by, delivery men and other neighbors. It seems the dazer has trained him not to bark only when I'm around. My next experiment will be training him not to bark when anybody is on our property - not sure how to go about that but I think I'm off to a good start with what he's learned so far.
I can see how a product like this doesn't work for every dog, but I'm sure glad it works for us :)
Customer Review: Be patient...it works!
Summary: 5 Stars
Our neighbor's dog barks at us every time we walk down the sidewalk in our side yard to throw away trash, take out the trash, go out the gate to the front yard...BARK, BARK, BARK!!! She would even bark occasionally if she heard us in our house with the windows open!!
In desperation I researched barking deterrents on the internet and found the Dog Dazer II and hoped it would be our way stop the barking once and for all without resorting to a confrontation with the neighbor, or worse.
At first, I thought I had wasted the money on the purchase. She just kept barking. Once even so viciously I thought she was going to come through the fence! I just kept trying each and every time I went down the sidewalk. Pulsing the Dazer for one second..off for about three seconds.
Well, after about a week of still thinking I had wasted my money, suddenly the bark turned to a growl. I would do extra training by moving the trashcans around (a noise that she was always freak out at) and just when she'd start to bark, I'd press the button and the bark would turn to a growl.
Once in awhile we still get a growl, but more often there is no sound at all. I AM SO HAPPY!! I don't dread going outside anymore! That dog was getting out of control and now I am in control thanks to the Dog Dazer II.
So the moral of this story is, be patient...and hopefully your patience will pay off with SILENCE!
O.k.. I don't know what happened, but the dog started freaking out again. Not as much when I'm outside, but when my son is outside. I think she can smell me and then knows I make her ears hurt. One day she just freaked while I was out there zapping her, then she started with the low growl again. I think I just have a psycho neighbor dog with a very short memory!
Customer Review: It works. Believe it!

Add me to the growing list here of people who swear by this product and are amazed at its effectiveness. It really does work, so much so that I felt compelled to tell others.
Like other reviewers, I bought the Dazer in desperation after all other methods had failed to stop my neighbors' two Schnauzers from barking at me and my children every time we tried to use our own back yard. When I first used the Dazer on them, the dogs actually stopped mid-bark and looked at me as if I had just called them Chihuahuas. When they started to bark again, I Dazed them a second time and again, they stopped instantly. I then gave the now-silent and clearly befuddled mutts one final shot of ultrasonic goodness for good measure (heh heh), at which they turned and scurried off into their house - not in pain, but clearly annoyed at whatever sound the Dazer puts out (humans cannot hear it, nor can my two elderly dogs).
The mongrels and I repeated this scenario for two more days after this, and that did the trick. Now when anybody in my family goes into the back, they either run off or ignore us completely. Oh, they still bark sometimes, but not at us. Like John Wayne (as one reviewer put it so well), I keep the Dazer clipped to my waistband just in case I need to remind them what it sounds like. I might even have done so once or twice, but that cannot be confirmed.
I don't know if the thing works on all dogs, or if it stops a charging dog, and I hope never to find out. I wouldn't rely on the Dazer or any other device to protect my children from an attacking dog, anyway, as Mr. Schinzer below might. But I know this: the Dazer has made my back yard a fun and QUIET place for me and my family to enjoy once again.
Now, if it only worked on loud people...
Customer Review: Excellent product!!

I also felt compelled to advise potential buyers of the effectiveness.
First, let me say, I was thoroughly impressed with the shipping time. I received this just a few days after I ordered it. I didn't expect it for at least a week.
Now, the Dazer. Our neighbor has a dog who doesn't like to be in the house, so they allow the mutt to roam the neighborhood all day. This is so they don't put up with his whining. Personally, I would get rid of the dog. In either case, this dog consistently found his way across the street, to my yard, to relieve himself. If we would try and stop the dog, he would start barking incessantly. If we walked outside and he was in the yard, he would start barking. There are times when no one was outside, and he was barking, in our yard, like a maniac. I have asked the owner, on several occasions, to correct this problem...obviously, to no avail.
I ordered the Dazer. After reading the other reviews, I couldn't wait for the opportunity to use it. I took it when I went for a walk. This dog came charging at me and I "Dazed" him. He stopped in his tracks, looking quite confused. I had to "Daze" him a couple more times before he decided I wasn't worth the noise, turned around and walked away.
When I finally caught the neighbors dog in the yard again, I "Dazed" him and he simply ran away - no barking. He hasn't been back since. Somehow our yard has become invisible to him. I've been waiting for him. I almost want him to come back so I can test it again. If he does, I'll be waiting.
I've had other successful incidents with the dazer. Bottom Line: IT WORKS!
