Tools and Hardware Reviews of Viatek BC16G Super Bark Stop
Customer Review: It works great for me.
Summary: 4 Stars
The person next door leaves a small dog out in their back yard 24 hours a day, and, that is usually how long the thing is barking. Talking with the neighbor, animal control, police produced no results.
My unit arrived after a night long barking session a week ago. I mounted it under an eve of my house with a clear line of sight into the dog's area, about fifteen feet away. The dog barked three times, the third sounded like a question mark. The constant barking has stopped! The dog will still bark once in a while but it is at a much reduced volume and only one or two barks (smart dog).
For this to work you will need to mount it with a clear line of sight at the offending dog. The dog will need to have good hearing, some older dogs, like people are a little deaf. This dog is about a year old and seems to have very good hearing, also, it appears to be a very smart dog.
Good dog (now) and a great product.

Customer Review: Works well but..
Summary: 4 Stars
It works well but I had placed the device only 20 feet away from the dog. It took 3 days for it took work effectively. The first 48 hours, the dog barked its head off even more because the sound was aggravating the crap outa thing. It started growling too. It works great now but I still have two complaints:
1-There was no manual on how to make the device work seamlessly. There could have been some info on how to tweak the device, even though it seemed simple (Keep sound all the way up, sensitivity level should be adjusted according to other noises in the area, etc..)
2- It's not waterproof! Why wouldn't the manufacturer make the damn thing waterproof!? It's an outdoor device for christ sake.
Anyway, if you want a dog to shut the hell up, buy this product. Worked for me!
Customer Review: If it doesn't annoy the dog, make it annoy the owner

I bought this bark stop because my neighbor has a pit bull that stays out 24/7 barking, and the shared fence is about 15 feet from my bedroom window. The dog barks so loud, there is no where in my house that I can retreat to for silence. I bought this super bark stop in hopes of quieting the dog. The dog is so stupid that it barks even more when the noise starts up. So we turned the volume up so that the neighors hear it too. That's what did it. As soon as the dog started barking and the alarm sounded, the dog was brought in. That was until the neighbor broke it with a broom stick so we are buying another one. Too bad for them.Customer Review: Works great!

We actually bought this item to use on our own dogs. They were barking a lot and I was getting complaints from the neighbor. So instead of buying them an individual collar, I bought this unit. It worked great within the first few minutes of using it. The neighbor reported that barking was WAY down and he was happy. My only complaint about the unit is it does not come with the adapter to plug it in, so you have to use it on batteries. They only last a month at a time maybe and then the unit becomes to weak to work well. So I am going to search for the adapter for it now. We have had it over a month now and love it.Customer Review: Worked for me!

I have a very talkative and stubborn Yorkie and purchased this device to use inside my home. I can't say that it completely stopped him from barking, but it has drastically reduced the frequency and duration of his barking sessions. Even on silent mode the device sets off a slight high pitched tone when activated that is audible to the human ear. Most folks probably wouldn't notice this, but if you use it inside your home I (something the manufacturer does not recommend) you will probably be able to hear it.
