I just moved into a new house about 15 minutes from Chiang Mai. Great neighborhood, dead end street and nice and quiet, except for my neighbors 3 stupid dogs.

They bark all the time, especially when her maid lets them out first thing in the morning. Now she is a nice old lady in her 60's so yelling at her to tell her dogs to shut up is out of the question.

So what can I do? Poison, shoot with paintballs or BB's, throw stuff, etc. Nope. A bit of searching and I came up with this beauty.

The "Dog Dazer Mach II". It sends out an ultrasonic pulse that only the mutts can hear.



I just got it in today and decided to give it a test run. I aimed and fired in semi-automatic bursts. The fckers went running! No more barking for now. It works as long as you are within 15-20 feet of the dogs. And as a bonus it is fun and satisfying to use. An eye for an eye I say; They hurt my ears now I'm giving them a taste of their own medicine.

The manual says something about how only "responsible adults" should use it but it's just too fun to be responsible with.

Dog Dazer II = $30 on Amazon
DHL 2 day shipping = $20
Tax and duties = $11

Sleeping in the morning = Priceless

Brilliant! Must get me one for those pesky dogs in Hua Hin.

It works great by just annoying the dogs. It doesn't hurt them as they can just run away from the noise. The way I see it is I'm training their dogs for free.

Here's the website for those who think I'm cruel and/or unusual.

Ah, the inner child!

(Question: we'll have a dog soon, how will it affect our little one, or does it work by aiming it at a certain area?)

mobs00

So maybe I misread, do you mean little ones as in your kids? If so it says it has no affect on humans as the pulse frequency is beyond the range that humans can hear.

Basically it is an electronic dog whistle.

Now this handheld model may start to get boring or I may just get lazy so if it does work well I am going to upgrade. They have a unit out there that does it automatically. You can set the unit to activate on noise = 1 bark, 2 bark, 3, 4, 5. It will sound only when the correct number of barks are heard. Sometimes they activate on loud noises so its nice to be able to set it for say 3 barks in a row.

^^ It is directional so will only affect the area it is pointed at. You may get some feedback but I don't think enough to upset an animal you're not aiming for.

Here's a view of the front of the unit showing the metal piece the sound is produced from.

Can you get one for stupid yappy wives? Put me down for one if yes.

The arms race has begun. Looks just the ticket.

mobs, I congratulate you on finding a way of solving the problem that hurts no-one. Can you give some feedback on this thread in a few weeks, to let us know if it works long term? If it does, I'll be purchasing one to stop my own dogs barking at people walking past etc (and it might just work on my neighbours' dogs, too - as they bark at night!). Something like this sounds like win-win. Well done.



Well, guess you didn't guess my reaction correctly, this time, did you, Travelmate?

Guess not. I'm shocked really. I'm beginning to think you're normal in fact.

Hats off to your sir! Certainly beats the locals way of enticing the poor bastards in with some poisoned loog-chin then waiting a couple of hours while the dogs die an agonising death.

Fortunately I don't need one at the moment but its nice to know they exist.

what's wrong with good old poisoning ?

Rural Surin

Cheaper as well...

Killing someone pet is no answer. Do the dogs deserve to die because they bark? The dogs are probably bored and need to be taken for walks. Go and talk to the lady and she maybe able to do something about. Imagine how she would feel if you poisoned her dogs.

Kids come in my yard and take things and steal food, does that give me the right to poison them? I think not, same goes for peoples pets.
