Should you wear it or mount it? We break down the differences between Bark Collars and Ultrasonic Devices to help you choose the perfect solution.
At Good Life Inc., the most common question we get is: "Which device do I need?"
The answer usually comes down to two factors: Who is barking (your dog or a neighbor's), and Where the barking happens (at home or on walks). Let's look at the two main methods: The "Box" (Ultrasonic) and The "Collar" (Wearable).
Method 1: The "Box" (Ultrasonic Devices)
Best for: The Neighbor's Dog, Multiple Dogs, and Yard Defense.
Ultrasonic boxes are "set it and forget it" devices. They detect barking and emit a high-pitched sound that dogs find irritating, training them to stay quiet. Since you don't need to touch the dog to use them, they are the only solution for a neighbor's barking dog.
Bark Control Pro
The Standard Choice. The Bark Control Pro is our original unit, perfect for standard-sized yards and average barkers.
- Range: Up to 150 feet
- Detection: Up to 50 feet
- Power: Battery or AC Adapter
Dog Silencer MAX
The Heavy Hitter. 40% louder than the Pro. Designed for large properties and stubborn breeds.
- Range: Up to 300 feet
- Detection: Up to 75 feet
- Durability: IPX4 Water Resistant
Method 2: The Collar (Wearable Tech)
Best for: Your Own Dog, Walking Training, and Precision.
If the dog barking is yours, a collar is often the fastest solution. The BarkWise Complete travels with your dog, meaning you get peace and quiet in the kitchen, the backyard, and at the park.
Why choose BarkWise?
- Consistent Training: Because it's attached to the dog, the correction happens instantly, every single time.
- Vibration Mode: Unlike the ultrasonic boxes, BarkWise has a vibration setting. This is crucial for hearing-impaired dogs or dogs that respond better to physical cues than sound.
- Advanced Recognition: It distinguishes between your dog's bark and background noise, reducing false corrections.
