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 neighbour's dog without drawing unwanted attention.

Keep your own dog quiet while you're away at work.
Use it
Reduce your neighbour'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 reduce 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 reduce 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 reduce 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.

Didn't work for our situation but nice design

After exhausting all the "extra loud" and "long range" dog bark tools we have found that this did not work. To be fair we are 80-100 feet from the offenders. It was nicely built and the mount was nice. Had to send it back and build one from research online.

Hi Jon,
Sorry to hear this did not work out for you. I do see you have the RMA set up for return for refund. We will get you refunded as soon as we get this back. If you have any questions just let us know.

Neighbor still barks but neighbor’s dogs bark no more

I complained to my neighbor but he barked too. Please make one that will work on highly inconsiderate dog owners.
It certainly works on his six barking dogs though. Every now and then a quip, but that’s it.
Quiet mornings at last.

We are so glad to hear this has worked to get your peace and quiet back. As for the inconsiderate dog owners, maybe one day there will be something that will work on them as well!

Thank you for an amazing product!

I and my husband recently purchased the dog silencer max, we had the unfortunate ongoing issues with our neighbors dogs, after speaking with the neighbor, and trying to become somewhat friendly with the pesky nonstop barking, we did our research and came across this product! Thank you for making a great product! No more barking! It’s been almost 2 weeks now and we can finally enjoy our beautiful yard without the constant barking! I highly recommend the Dog silencer max, my husband placed it on our home high enough that way nothing could block the signal. Bark free so far! 🙌🙏🏼

We are so happy to hear this is working out so well for you. If you ever have any questions or need anything just let us know.

Seems like it is working, but...

My dog loves to bark at UPS Trucks and Mailmen and does it to excess. I bought the Dog Silencer after buying some smaller units from another vendor, as I thought I needed something more powerful.
My dog still barks, but he seems to stop quickly, especially if I can correct him. I have only used this product for a few weeks, so hopefully he will start getting the idea that barking isn't good.
Lastly, given the fact that I have the sensitivity way down (at 20 feet), I think that it will work for dogs barking at a great distance.

So far so good

I have set up the device and the dogs has been quite. Barks once or twice but them nothing for a few hours. Hopefully its learning to stay quiet altogether, although barking once or twice now goes a long way for me.
