Description

Are ultrasonic anti-bark devices really the magic solution they claim to be? In this episode of The Dog People Podcast, professional dog trainer Max O’Neil exposes the truth behind the viral social media ads promoting ultrasonic bark control gadgets. With more and more frustrated dog owners turning to these so-called “miracle” devices, Max breaks down why these tools not only fail to fix barking but can actually make behavioural issues worse.


We explore the science (or lack thereof) behind ultrasonic bark deterrents, what’s really happening when your dog barks, and how proper training and understanding your dog’s needs are far more effective—and humane. Whether you're dealing with excessive barking at home, wondering if bark collars or sonic deterrents are worth the money, or just want to separate fact from fiction, this episode has you covered.
