 Lentek Bark FreeMay 09, 2007
By N.W.
I was skeptical that the Lentek Bark Free would help with my dog's barking, but I was at my wit's end and willing to try anything. She barked at anything she saw, heard, or THOUGHT she saw or heard. I placed the unit on our patio, and the first time her barking set it off, she stopped immediately. She resumed barking a few moments later, and when the unit beeped, she stopped again. By the end of the second day, her barking was just about eliminated. Now instead of barking, she just growls. I can live with that. I'm sure different dogs respond to the unit differently and some may not be affected at all, but for my little terrier/"terror," it's been great.

Do Not Fear the Negative Reviews!Dec 03, 2008
By Brad F.

Having found that this worked wonders with my dog, I'm back to pick up another as a gift. When a new neighbor moved into my building, I first learned that my dog barked for a good half hour every day starting shortly after I left for work. I knew she barked on occasion, but I didn't know it was so consistent or bothersome. Even though the negative reviews here gave me caution, I decided it was worth a shot, and I tried the product.
I now have a dog who is a wonderful neighbor. I've received confirmation from my neighbors (others, it turns out, had been too polite to say anything) that my dog has been silent during the day since installing the device. It's been fantastic. I notice, too, that she doesn't feel the need to bark uncontrollably when the bell rings, when she hears another dog, or when she hears just about anything anymore.
Know that I was concerned about whether containing her will to bark amounted to some sort of cruelty. I understand that my dog is a dog, and part of a dog's life is barking. In a perfect world, she would bark here and there and be done with it, and my neighbors wouldn't mind. In my world, however, she was a nuisance. She still knows how to bark. We take walks and she has her fill. But when she's at home now, she behaves in a way I was never able to train her.
Know that my dog is a shih tzu mix and I use the ultrasonic setting. I seem to recall that reviews were generally favorable for smaller dogs, so this may just be consistent with that. Regardless of your situation, though, if you have a problem with your dog barking indoors (which is the only way I've been able to test this device), you ought to try seeing whether this works. For me, it has worked 100%.
Now I'm off to buy another. I'm hopeful it works for my dad's yapping beast as well.

 Bark Free helps!Jun 26, 2006
By M. Lee
I have had one of these for about three years now. It has helped! The dog figures out to bark a little quieter so she doesn't set it off. I now put it on audible because the neighbor won't do anything about his dog barking so when his dog barks and sets it off he hears the sound of the Bark Free and he doesn't like it, so he has actualy been trying to keep it somewhat quiet. That works for me! It doesn't stop them completely but it has made a significant difference here...

Could not believe how well it workedApr 22, 2008
By D. Citrin
I was skeptical. I have a Yorkie who has been barking at every passerby and loud truck for nine years. It used to be cute but now we have a four month old who is not able to nap because of the barking. He was exhausted from all of the constant waking. My dog is too small for one of the collars so I was looking for a device to plug into the wall. I looked through a bunch of these online and finally chose this one. I plugged it in and our dog barked for ten minutes straight. By that night, she no longer was barking at anything at all. One week later she occassionally barks at things that really upset her, but usually only one bark and not very often. My child can finally nap and I feel like my dog is not suffering. She is her happy self but just much quieter. This may not work for every dog based on the reviews I read, but it certainly is working for mine.

Finally, Peace in the house -- it works for usNov 19, 2008
By D. Lawrence
With three dogs in the house, there is always something that sets one off barking. The other two dogs always follow the chorus. We tried every training method we could find, (sorry Ceasar) but could never get permanent control. Put one in our entryway, where the dogs always congregated in chaos when someone came to the door, and it worked! Two of the dogs, a maltese and a terrier, silenced immediately. The Yorkie was a little more hard headed, and barked through it the first couple of times. Which annoyed the two dogs that were silent. Still, the Yorkie has figured out that a low bark or growl is better than setting the "Bark Free" off.
Eventually, the Dogs figured out that there was one part of the house where they could bark and not trigger the sound. Just bought our second one to cover that side of the house too. The new one quieted the dogs on the first bark.
For us, it was worth the money.
