Will a Anitbark Device Stop My Neighbors Dogs From Barking?

I have been looking at several antibark devices to stop the 5-6 dogs my neighbors have in their backyard from ruining my day by waking me up many times while I sleep.

There are several on the market, including a few on EBay that have mixed feedbacks. Most all are automatic ultrasonic units. One did claim to be better because it was manually activated so other noises won’t set it off.

I have worked with the police/court system on this before and got it to stop. Problem now is that after 1 1/2 of the dogs being stored inside their garage, they have built a fence. Now the dogs are in the backyard again barking.
However it is not as constant as when they were kept out there on chains before. It will be considerably harder to go to court with it this time since they don’t bark over 10 minutes straight like before.

They bark now for a few minutes and just about the time you go to sleep again they fire back up.

And no, killing them is not an option.
I have used ear plugs in the past. Generally I roll over and they fall out. I even tried the expensive wax kind that forms to your ear.

I also have run a fan on high. Problem is the barking is so loud it won’t begin to cover it up. Not even close. A TV set on really loud does good to be over top of it.
These aren’t bark collars, they are boxes that emit sound when a dog barks.

If they bark for longer periods I can file a civil suit. I was close a couple years ago when they agreed to put them in their garage.

My lawyer found a VERY similar case where the person in my shoes won and was the only complainer, right here in my state.
Does anybody here have an recommendations on a specific device? There are about 5 on the market that I see.

Device to Stop My Dog Barking – Do They Work?

If you are at your wit’s end to stop your dog’s constant barking and you are sick and tired of being embarrassed when you take your dog out and he is continually barking at other dogs then at some point or other you must have thought “If only there was a device to stop my dog barking”. Now trust me, you are not alone in this situation, dog owners everywhere worry about their dog’s barking and the effect it has, not only on them as owners, but on the neighbors as well. I too have suffered from the frustrations of a very vocal dog and so I spent a while researching on line what devices are available on the marketplace and do they work? There are various devices available, depending on how much money you can afford to spend and these are namely:Spray collars – These collars work on the basis that when your dog barks they emit a spray of citronella into the dog’s face. Most reviews say that they had little effect on their dog’s barking. Some of the collars were too heavy for the dogs and in a short space of time they learnt to outbark the spray. Anti shock collars – these work on the basis that when a dog first barks they hear a beep sound and if this is followed by them barking again then they receive a mild electric shock. Persistent barking results in the shock getting more intense. I personally, and an awful lot of dog owners find this method inhumane since different regulations in different countries mean you can never be sure of the intensity of the shock administered. Ultrasonic dog barking devices – these work on the concept that an internal microphone picks up the sound of your dog barking within a certain radius, and emits a shrill noise that cannot be heard by humans. Mixed reviews state that the device works initially because it puzzles the dog, but then quite quickly the dogs get used to it and simply ignore the sound. The devices are also pretty hefty on batteries!After reading a great many reviews on devices to stop my dog barking I came to the conclusion that there is no “quick fix” solution and you have to be willing to spend a lot of time and patience on understanding why your dog is barking before you can go ahead and control the barking.
