Granted, this product is a bit of a departure, but it’s such a stroke of genius that I had to post about it. If you’ve ever had your sleep interrupted by a barking dog, you’ll want to kiss its inventor.

The Bark Stop Ultrasonic Dog Training Device is one of those products that make you ask, “Why didn’t someone think of this sooner….Why didn’t I think of this sooner?!”

Product Description:
Train your dog–or someone else’s–to cease barking with the ultrasonic Bark Stop Professional. A built-in microphone senses incessant barking and triggers the Bark Stop to produce an ultrasonic tone which deters dogs but is inaudible to humans. Humane and effective, it can help train a dog without shocking or hurting them. It has an effective range of up to 50 feet away and can work indoors and out, even through fences or walls. Includes AC adapter & 50-foot extension cord.
