We want to put this in our small backyard because of the neighbor's bark-happy dogs. Will the noise from it hurt our little guinea pig who's inside?

Hi Lauren,If you put the unit outside, it won't bother the neighbor's bark happy dogs, or the guinea pig.

I doubt it, as barking dogs next door are not at all bothered by this contraption.

I don't think so, however, I would ask your local Vet. He/she could tell you how sensitive their eardrums are.

No it does not react to sound of barking. You may use the manual vibration mode to bring attention to dog

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Just tried it and scared everyone in the room, including the dog!! Just the sound of this stunner can scare someone!!!

I suppose you could, but the noise is probably going to scare it. Unless you are really experienced, I'd advise against it. Get old fashioned clippers...safer and quieter.

I have 4 min schnauzers - one is very sensitive to high pitched sounds. No one seemed bothered by it. But since we know only one out if four is bothered by those sonic pet trainers maybe your pup is super sensitive. It is a good elliptical. Just bad for my hips.

I think it probably would. The noise stops my dog in his tracks (from anxiety howling). I've noticed over time though he has gotten 'used' to the noise & goes back to making noise - just less of it. For fighting, I would probably blast them with a water bottle before this - but I think this would have a similar effect without making a mess.

No, but I have a mini lop ear rabbit with small feet and she is just fine. I had a grass mat on the floor in half the cage at one time but she did not like it in there and tore it to shreds. I don't know how big or small guinea pig feet are compared to those of small lop ear rabbits.

For small guinea pigs I think it would be fine and it does not have a bottom, so I had to buy some wire to put under it.

Not sure, was not as happy with this as the ridex rodent one. I do know that some other animals are sensitive to the sound and hurts their ears.

My neighbor's dog will stop barking when he's within 15' or so of the unit. If he goes down to the other end of the lot - about 30' away - it doesn't affect him. I'm thinking about buying a 2nd unit for that corner of the yard.

My mom found that to be the case in her house. all of mine bark and it didnt work at all for them. My mom used it and it really bothered one of her dogs. She has 2 Afghan hounds that are pretty sensitive to everything!

It's actually pretty loud. I put it on a lagnyard so it hangs from my neck. I haven't actually used it to deter dogs (and hopefully won't have to) but am relatively confident it would work from a distance away.

Don't see why not as the noise emitted does not harm humans. But... Mine did not work worth dog doo outside ; even when the dog was 10 feet away. Think you would be better off with a bark collar.

I have two Yorkies, and they pay no attention to the noise, but your dog could be different. Just remember you could try it and send back if too annoying. In my book nothing is more annoying that gophers destroying your landscaping!

The sound is loud. It depends on how close to the bedrooms you place it as to whether it would wake the family.We have used ours on a storage/sitting bench in front of our kitchen window.Our sheltie would jump up ,look out the window and bark at everything that she saw. We tried several ways to stop her. It only took about 3 days for her to avoid the bench completely. I have had it turned off for about 2 months and she never has jumped up again. This product was a really wonderful solution for us.

Probably... but that isn't a bad thing since if it were a real dog your cat would probably set him/her off too. Ours is situated in an area and when we pass it barks, but I don'[t mind since a real dog might too. If you put it where your animal doesn't go then it should not be an issue..there is a limit to the range. Also I saw where someone put a metal plate behind it so it would not pick up movement inside their house. That's an option.
