What the AI looks for in Sonic Dog Repellents

Line of sight
The device must face the dog with no wall, fence or window in between. Ultrasound is blocked by solid objects.
Short effective range
Expect it to work only when the dog is fairly close, not across a yard. Ultrasonic sound fades quickly with distance.
Dog's hearing
Do not count on it for older or hearing-impaired dogs. Dogs that can't hear the frequency will not react.
Habituation
Treat it as an interrupter paired with training, not a lasting fix. Many dogs learn to ignore it with repeated exposure.

Brands that matter

  • Dazer: Handheld ultrasonic deterrents for walkers.
  • PetSafe: Outdoor and handheld ultrasonic bark and behaviour devices.

What to avoid

  • Relying on an ultrasonic device as personal protection against an aggressive dog.
  • Using it near other pets in the home who will also hear it.
  • Generic wall-plug pest repellers marketed for dogs.

Questions

Can I hear it working?

Usually not, since the sound is pitched above human hearing; most units have an indicator light to confirm they are firing.
