Barkstop

Tried another one of these at a much more sensible price from a different company. Thought this would be great for stopping incessant barking and repelling the cats from our garden. Problem is, when I use it on the cats, they actually come to me! And my dogs just keep barking and look at me as though I'm a total prat. I think that I must have one that works in reverse. But saying that, apart from the torch which works fine, I wonder if there is actually anything else inside of it as it does nothing at all. Probably why the dogs do not hear it. My advise is do not bother. Waste of time and money. I have found that you are better off farting near your dog as they then stop barking for a short time trying to see where the noise and smell is coming from. Thinking about patenting this idea. Could call it Fart Stop'. The only downside is that you would need to keep eating plenty of Brussels Sprouts. And maybe invest in a 'Gas mask'! Best regards -Jonny. W.
