7. Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Shock-Free No-Bark Ball with Dual Sonic Technology be
effective on my dog?
• There are many reasons for excessive barking - your dog may be lonely,
hungry, cold or hot or simply alerting you to people or animals on your
property. The No-Bark Ball is best used on dogs whose needs are well fulfilled
and bark excessively at everything that moves.
• The No-Bark Ball may not work on dogs that have hearing problems or are
suffering from hearing loss.
Will the barking from another dog trigger the sensor on the Shock-
Free No-Bark Ball with Dual Sonic Technology?
• Yes. The sensor will trigger when there are other dogs barking within the
hearing range.
Will the ultrasonic sound from the Shock-Free No-Bark Ball with Dual
Sonic Technology affect other dogs?
• Yes. Other dogs within the hearing range may be affected by the ultrasonic
sound.
Is the Shock-Free No-Bark Ball with Dual Sonic Technology
appropriate and humane?
• Yes. The No-Bark Ball is designed to get your dog's attention, not to punish it.
However, the initial ultrasonic correction may startle your dog.
What is meant by ultrasonic sound?
• Humans can only hear sounds at a frequency up to a maximum of 20kHz,
whereas dogs can hear up to 60kHz. As such, dogs are sensitive to certain
sounds that are undetectable to us. The ultrasonic sound waves released by
our No-Bark Ball are at frequencies that are audible by dogs.
Will my dog stop barking completely?
• No. The No-Bark Ball was specifically designed to reduce or discourage
excessive barking behavior, but not eliminate barking all together.
