Can't get a good night's sleep every night with your neighbor's barking dog ? Want to stop them from barking ? Sometimes you want to poison ( God forbids ) them just to solve the problem or just shoot them dead ( God forbids it also ) ? Did it ever entered your mind to feed these dogs laced with sleeping pills ? Here in our country, where a neighbor can have noisy dogs and still get away with it. Because either they are local officials or have a relative of the local officials, in short they are "malakas" or well connected with the authorities. I can't understand why there are careless people, people that don't care if they are giving other people inconveniences. If you file a case for disturbance in the local level, you will be spending your precious time to a unimportant matter. Either it will be heard on deaf ears or the case will be dragged for so long you will not have the intention to continue, but sometimes it can be resolve.
Let me make it clear that I am not endorsing any brand or product, just plain solution to a problem. I have found a humane and safe way to stop or at least reduced significantly the constant barking of dogs. I discovered a cheap but effective device from the internet to counter this barking dogs at day or at night.

| As you can see, this is a battery operated Anti-bark device |
Aside from its effectiveness, my only problem with it is its very costly for me since I have to turn it on at night and shut it off the next morning. With one 9-volt battery, you can use this device for three consecutive nights. One cheap 9-volt battery will costs you 25.00 pesos. So to solve this problem since I have a few understanding in electronics, I converted it to work on dc adapters.

As you can see, I am not that irritated with our neighbor's nightly barking annoying DOGS. Yes, they are more than one. Aside from my front neighbor, there are many more other neighbor's barking dogs at day and night. And yes, I seem to be residing in the middle of a dog zoo.

You might want to know how this device works ?
The device has a built-in microphone and speaker. When the device hears the barking of the dog it will activate a sound. We humans can hear frequencies 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz, we can't hear below and above the range of the mentioned frequencies. But pets like dogs can hear from *67 hertz to 45 kilohertz, while this device emits a 25 kilohertz short ringing sound that attracts the dog's attention much like patting a dog to stop when they bark. At 25 kilohertz only dogs can hear the emitted sound. But an indicator light ( red ) indicates that the device picks-up the barking then it will activate the short ringing sound. So, it is a sound activated anti-bark device.

I have also seen a similar device but it is powered by a dc adapter. And its downside is you have to add additional extension cables to power the device. I haven't tried this device for effectivenes as I just ordered it online. Will update this blog for further news.
