BARKING DOG DETERRENTS

http://www.petco.com/product/104027/PetSafe-Outdoor-Bark-Control.aspx?CoreCat=certona-_-ProductList__3-_-PetSafe%20Outdoor%20Bark%20Control-104027

The Ultrasonic Barking Dog Deterrent -
Disguised as a birdhouse, this patented device quickly and humanely restores peace and quiet for those vexed by a dog's barking. When a dog barks within range of the birdhouse, it emits a harmless ultrasonic tone, inaudible to humans, that startles the animal into silence. The dog quickly associates its bark with the unpleasant sound, which conditions him to curb this undesirable behavior. An on/off switch with three sensitivity levels (15', 30', 50') lets you control the unit's effective range. It can be hung from a tree limb, mounted to a fence post, or hung on a wall less than 5' off the ground. Requires one 9-volt battery. For outdoor use only.

Digital Bark Free Pro -
Ranges from 30', 50' and 60'. Safe, effective and humane way to quell barking dogs.

The Indoor Barking Dog Deterrent-
This patented device quickly and humanely restores peace and quiet to a home vexed by a dog's excessive barking. No special collar is required; when a dog barks within 25' of the unit, it emits a harmless ultrasonic tone, inaudible to humans, that startles the animal into silence. The dog quickly associates its bark with the unpleasant sound, which conditions him to curb this undesirable behavior.

The unit can also be activated manually to help you correct a dog's other bad habits, such as lying on furniture or foraging through the trash. One 9-volt battery (not included) provides power for about two months, and an LED indicates battery life. For indoor use only.

Premier Gentle Spray Citronella Anti-Bark Collar -
-Humanely and effectively deters excessive barking
-Spray collar releases an all-natural citronella spray
-Twice as effective as electric shock
