Where to Use It

Unlike traditional collars that can only be used on one dog, the Dog Silencer MAX can be used virtually anywhere, on any dog. It's even discreet enough to use on your neighbor's dog without drawing unwanted attention.

Use it
Keep your own dog quiet while you're away at work.
Use it
Stop your neighbor's dog from barking all night so you can wake up refreshed.
Use it
Quiet multiple dogs who get each other barking at the fence.

How It Works

Every time the dog barks, your Dog Silencer MAX will send out a powerful high-pitched tone. Dogs find this sound extremely annoying, similar to fingernails on a chalkboard. Most dogs learn pretty quickly that if they are quiet, they won't have to hear this irritating sound anymore.

For best results, the training device needs to have a clear line of sight with the dog(s) you wish to train.

General Steps

  1. The Dog Silencer MAX automatically detects barking.
  2. In response, the device blasts high-pitched sounds that only the dog can hear. This process is completely safe and humane. The sounds annoy the dog, but don't harm him.
  3. In a few short weeks (sometimes sooner), the dog learns to stop barking to avoid hearing the sounds. Be ready to fine-tune your device's settings during this initial training period for best results.
  4. Success! Enjoy your peace and quiet.

FAQ

  • What is the shape of the coverage area?

    The ultrasonic sounds will emit in a cone shape of about 130°, or about 65° on each side. The sound is directional, and will have the best training results if the device is pointed directly at the dog(s) you wish to train.

  • What is ultrasonic sound?

    Ultrasonic sound is above the hearing range of humans, but is attention grabbing and irritating to dogs. This makes a safe and effective tool for dog training. It takes your dog's focus off of barking and towards the high-pitched sound.

  • What is the Audio mode?

    When using “Audio” mode, you will hear the device activate. It's recommended you use this mode when adjusting the bark sensitivity when first setting up the unit. In addition, you can use the audio mode for older dogs or dogs with poor hearing as an alternative to the ultrasonic sound training.

    Using the Audio mode when setting up the device will be key into accurately gauging the sensitivity of the microphone. You will be able to hear if the device is activating too often or not often enough. Adjust the dial up or down as needed and once you hear the unit ONLY activating when the dog is barking then you can flip the switch to the Ultrasonic mode.

  • Will this bother my other pets?

    Cats and dogs have very similar hearing ranges, so if your cat is near the unit when it's activated, yes, it will probably bother the cat. But, the sound from the MAX does not go through walls or around corners. For example, if the device is located in the backyard, and your cat is in the front yard or even in the house, the sound should not bother him at all. If the MAX is being used indoors, you'll want to keep cats and / or rodent pets out of the room where it is being used.

  • Will this work for whining or howling?

    If the Dog Silencer MAX is close to the dog, you may be able to adjust the microphone sensitivity higher to pick up howling or even whining. If this doesn't work, you might consider our BarkWise™ no-shock training collar for your dog. Also keep in mind that a dog might be howling or whining for reasons such as discomfort, fear, or anxiety. These issues should be discussed with a veterinarian instead of “punished” with any bark control system.

  • Is there a volume dial?

    No. There is no volume control by design. The device volume is pre-set and will fluctuate on its own to keep the dog guessing. The training sounds will always travel up to 300 feet (90 m)with a clear line of sight.

  • So then what is the Hi-Lo Dial?

    Think of the Sensor dial as a distance setting. If the dog is nearby, you'll want to keep it low. If he's farther away, you'll need to turn it up higher. You want the device to hear the dog barking, but if you turn the dial up too high it will detect other sounds nearby, activate too often, and will not train the dog to stop barking. In fact, turning this dial up too high can actually make the barking worse!

  • Can I use it with a puppy?

    We do not recommend using the Dog Silencer MAX on puppies under 1-year of age. Please consult your veterinarian.

  • Will this work through fences, walls, windows, or bushes?

    No. The high-pitched sounds emitted by our training devices cannot penetrate any solid objects such as wood fences, windows, walls or thick shrubbery.

    However; sparse trees, window screens, chain link and wrought-iron fences should be okay.

    Related Post:  What will ultrasonic sound go through?

  • Can I use it with an invisible or electric fence?

    We recommend you do not use any ultrasonic bark control devices in combination with invisible fence systems. This is because the sound frequencies emitted by our bark control devices are very similar to those emitted by the invisible fence collar. This may cause confusion and interfere with the dog's training.

  • How does the remote control work?

    Your purchase includes a keychain-size remote control which can be used to activate the device manually. The remote can be used up to 75 feet (23m) away from the main unit, and is convenient for on-demand training.

  • Should I use batteries or electricity? How long does the battery last?

    You can use batteries or electricity — it's your choice. But for best results we do recommend using the included AC adapter, especially in the early stages of training when the dog will be barking more. Battery life will vary depending on the weather, the quality of the batteries used, as well as how often the unit is being activated.

    If you need to use batteries, rechargeables are a great option to save money. We also offer a new Solar Panel add-on!

    Note: Please do not use aftermarket AC adapters ( those not purchased from Good Life® ) as this will void your product warranty.

  • Will it hurt or harm the dog in any way?

    No it will not. All Good Life products are designed to be safe and humane, and they are only designed to stop excess or nuisance barking. The high-pitched training sounds are not painful or harmful, and if a dog really needs to bark, he can. They will not stop a dog from barking out of instinct (at an intruder for example).

    Although not harmful, the sounds emitted by our products may be too intense for puppies under one year of age as they are still developing their hearing. Please consult your veterinarian before using this product with puppies.

  • How long before I should expect results?

    While many customers see the effects within a few days, this unit is a training device and will depend on how quickly the dog associates the sound with his barking. Some customers also report the dog barking at the unit, or barking more than usual in the first few days.

    This is a normal part of the learning process. We strongly recommend you give the device two to three weeks to see full results.

  • Does it have to be on all the time?

    For best results, the unit needs to be on and in use near the dog at all times (it will go into standby mode when the dog is not barking). For best results, the unit needs to be left on so that it can activate consistently each time the dog barks.

  • What is the range/angle/coverage area?

    The ultrasonic sounds will emit in a cone shape of about 130°, or about 65° on each side. The sound is directional, and will have the best training results if the device is pointed directly at the dog(s) you wish to train.

Barking has stopped

I own 3 bassett hounds that love to bark at just about anything that walks, flies, or flutters. Neighbors were complaining it was nonstop barking all day. Since they have doggy door, as we work, keeping inside was not optional. So I was hesitant to invest this much but had to do something. Oh my goodness the barking is now rare!! This honestly really works!! Living on a pond our neighbors constantly have parties thru week as well as weekend. My dogs woukd bark constantly at movement. Now they don't!!! If you are in desperate need of noise reduction, I HIGHLY recommend this product!! I would and will buy again when my current one retires!!!!

worth EVERY penny!

i was nervous about purchasing this product, but the incessant barking of my neighbor's FIVE dogs made it impossible for me to enjoy my deck. i put up with the noise for a year or more and then made the purchase. i'm SO GLAD i bought your silencer max. over the course of three days, the barking gradually tapered off and now, after having it installed for a couple weeks, there's hardly any barking. i cannot thank you enough for marketing this device and i enthusiastically recommend it to anyone. our properties are 1-3 acres so i was concerned that the distances were too great for it to work. instead, i finally have regained peace and quiet. my favorite story to relate is that i was walking near our property line when i heard the biggest dog bark once (normally, whenever i'm on the lawn, the barking is constant). i looked to where i'd heard the bark and realized that the dog had gone to the far side of the neighbor's house and barked from behind it! i have to smile while wondering if my neighbors have noticed that their dogs no longer bark and that, when they do, they do it only after walking behind their house! thank you again. not only is it functional, it's entertaining and worth EVERY penny!

Does what it was designed to do.

We are surrounded by neighbors who own aggressive dogs. Not being a confrontational person, we decided to deploy this device to reduce our anxiety from loud barking and aggressive dogs nearby. We’ll let me tell you, it only took a few days and now we have peace and quiet. We move our device around the fence line directed at the issues for maximum effectiveness. We enjoy our patio and garden so much now without all the dog aggression. We appreciate the effectiveness of this device so much and are happy with its performance. I keep the setting at maximum level for retribution and our quiet enjoyment . Big likes from our household to Dog Silence Max!
