I don't want to sound like Yogi Berra but here it is anyway. The Bark Stop worked when it worked.
The Bark Stop was broken when it arrived. I called the number on the box (not the retailer) because it said that if the product was defective that I should call them. There didn't seem to be any shipping damage. I talked to a person at the Viatek company ("Lisa") who told me to send proof of purchase and a letter and they would send a new one out right away. I wasn't supposed to send the Dog Bark, just the receipt. After waiting three weeks, I called back and there's no answer. I've called them several times with no answer.
I got fed up and decided to try to fix the original. As it turns out the push button switch that operated the device was defective. After messing around with it I found I could get it to work if I took off the orange "trigger" and just played around with the button. Once I got it to work, I was able to quiet the next door dog (small yippy poodle). It really worked. The dogs across the street seem to be immune though even though I had it just a few feet from them. I think it actually made them madder. Still, it took care of the neighbor's dog so, I was fairly happy with the performance which is why I gave it any stars. About a month later the device stopped working again. I can get it to work somewhat intermittently now but as it turns out the point is moot now. A few weeks ago some coyotes got through the neighbors fence and ate their dog. I know it's gross but that's what happened.
The device is VERY poorly built. The laser is stupid too. (I disconnected it when I took it apart.) The current price is about half of what I paid and it's probably still too much. I honestly can't recommend this device because of the build quality and the inconsistent way it operates. (Some dogs, yes, others no.) I also don't trust the manufacturer ("distributer") at all. On the other hand it worked when it worked so if you're really desperate, you might want to give it a try. Not everyone can count on coyotes...

This item works like a charm and of course is totally harmless to its intended targets, meaning those pesky neighborhood pooches that bark at anything that exhibits even the slightest sign of life (there is also a setting for cats but I haven't yet tried it so I don't know how effective it is). I call mine the "Illudium PU38 Doggie Disintegrator" in honor of Warner Bros' 'Marvin the Martian'. Also neat (but not necessary) is an actual super-wow built-in laser aiming light (I covered mine with electrician's tape to prevent visual evidence of my frequent sniper attacks on the neighbor's overly-vocal pet that barks even when a mosquito passes gas).
Another advantage of this particular doggie trainer is its superior range; it's rated at 50 feet and from what I can tell it is effective to at least that distance (I'd say 60+ feet is more accurate); it works when shooting through window screens with no noticeable loss of effectiveness due to interference/scattering of the sound waves by the screen mesh. While such a range isn't needed for indoor barking-training of one's pet it really comes in handy with those 7 a.m. "wakeup calls"/11:30 p.m. "operatic arias" emanating from the neighbor's yard that are a serious detriment to one's sleeping patterns. On the positive side, it's just like rising at dawn to do some morning hunting but from the comfort and convenience of one's own home. There's an element of satisfaction after being rudely awakened from a sound sleep and a feeling of no longer being a helpless victim of this uncontrolled racket when drawing a bead on Fido and pulling the trigger: "Take that, you manic little noisebox!" :-) Once again, this item's ultrasonic emmission is completely harmless; it's just a distraction/deterrent that causes the offenders to temporarily desist from their annoying cacophany (the more stubborn specimens usually require multiple zaps).
So, for anyone tormented by such vocal disruptions/irritations, this item is highly recommended. Besides, it looks cool kinda like a vintage 1950s-'60s ray gun many of us had as kids. :-))

For us this item did not do a thing. All my dogs wanted to do was chase the laser beam. When the neighbor dogs started to bark at our fence, I aimed it and nothing. They didn't even flinch. So for us it was NOT a stop bark. I returned it with no hassles. Thank You. Papa Bill

I have two small dogs that go balistic at the slightest noise and also in the backyard protecting their territory. I chose this type of deterrant because I want to know what's going on after the lights go out at night, but I don't need the extra noise in the yard. One shot and it's instant silence. It wasn't a training issue. It happened the first time I used it. Now all I have to do is pick it up and I get the desired effect.
Every dog is different and what works for mine may not work for yours. At this price it's certainely worth the price to give it a try.
By the way .......... the laser is a stupid idea. This is not a toy. Aiming doesn't need to be precise. My dogs hate the sound and that's enough.

I received this product and have tried with several new batteries, but the LED does not light up, and the sound emitter appears to have no effect on dogs on cats. Very disappointed.
