From their paws to their tail, you love everything about your dog…That is, everything except their incessant barking.
If your furry friend is a little too talkative, we spotted a highly-rated, handy ultrasonic dog training tool that pet owners say instantly stops their dogs barking. Think it can’t get better? Think again. It’s anti-shock and a whopping 75% off for Prime members. Usually hovering around $120, you can snag this 4.8 out of 5-star device for just under $30. A small price to pay for something users call their “best purchase ever!!” and “like a magic switch.” The last time this went on sale, HuffPost readers bought it in droves, so grab one before the price goes back up.
Designed to emit an ultrasonic frequency only dogs can hear, an audible beep you can hear and work as a flashlight, it’s a compact, multi-purpose tool that’s easy to use and carry.
“I have the yappiest lil dude, and this has been a life saver!” one review wrote.
“Within a couple takes, he started to get it, and started calming down. It’s made a huge difference, the house is quieter, and he even seems more toned down.”
So how does this thing work?
In short, an “ultrasonic” sound just means a sound that’s too high a frequency for humans to hear. Because dogs’ ears are more sensitive than ours, they can hear a range of noises that we can’t. As an “ultrasonic” device, this trainer emits a sound that inspires them to stop barking — immediately.
“I’m stunned at how well this works,” a reviewer whose dogs fence fight with their neighbors said. “One quick push of a button and it all stopped instantly. I couldn’t believe it. We have 9 dogs between us and they all shut up instantly and stared at me.”
According to the brand, the trainer works for the majority of dog breeds and has three synchronized sound heads providing ample sound coverage. This means you can send some “shhh” to your pup even when they’re not sitting right next to you.
“With 6 training modes and a 23-ft range, it works whether he’s barking at the front door or across the yard like a neighborhood watch captain,” one review said. “It’s compact, rechargeable, and doesn’t make me feel like a villain.”
While the trainer is branded as a bark-deterrent, some pet parents report it helping with other behavioral training, too!

Pet parents report that it’s helped curb jumping, biting and pulling on the leash during walks. “We also use it when they stray too far for our liking and they know when we press the button that they need to come back,” another user said.
The brand says a single charge should give you up to 30 days of regular use or up to 180 days of standby time. Users love how easy it is to carry, making it a consistent part of their routine. “Super lightweight, you can literally put in it your pocket and have it wherever,” one said. “It’s safe, which I love, no shocking him or harnesses. A nice gentle noise that gets his attention.”
Within the debate about the best way to train dogs (and the ethics of ultrasonic devices), many dog owners and professionals agree that sonic training is less harmful to pups than shock collars or other more punitive methods of training.

“We’ve been using this device during our training sessions & it’s worked surprisingly well to interrupt his behavior & redirect his attention,” one review said. “I’m opposed to anything that shocks, so I would definitely recommend incorporating this into your routine.”
There are also many reviews from owners who have tried more forceful training methods like shock collars, spray bottles and vibrating devices, saying this sound trainer was “the only thing” that worked.

“I was suffering with dogs barking like crazy every time any little thing they could hear most of the time there was absolutely nothing there and they still would bark like crazy every time I took them outside they’d run across the street to whoever was outside in their yard, I was constantly having to corral them to get them back home This worked the first time out of the box I pressed on the ultrasonic button and they turned right around in the middle of the road and came running back and it’s been working perfectly ever since I could recommend it highly” — carol s thompsongraham
“Yes!! Something that finally works for my barky pups. I used it once and the barking stopped. I thought it was going to take forever. It’s compact and easy to use. Plus for the price you just can’t beat it. Bright orange so you can’t misplace it!” — Laura Mestas
“My terrier barks nonstop at squirrels in the backyard. This anti bark deterrent for dogs calms her down instantly. I just press the button and say ‘no,’ and she backs off. Super lightweight and easy to carry around. Great training tool” — Juliana
“I have a Chihuahua that barks at everything. This little device has been amazing within a few hours he’s barely barking at all. Now I can enjoy company without the interference of him barking!” — Spring Dowdy
“I really like this little pink ultra sonic dog training tool. I have two little chihuahuas and they are the best barkers and they always bark in unison. Im constantly yelling at them to stop. The first day I used this they stopped immediately. The second day all I had to do was show it to them and like magic I could actually talk to the delivery guy. This really works, I can’t vouch for the distance as they don’t go far. It’s so easy to keep with you and the flashlight is a big bonus. This is a great alternative to a bark collars. I highly recommend this ultra sonic training tool!” — Patti
“This handheld dog training device is great! My daughter and I love that it’s pink and that it actually works. It’s light is bright and the sounds are super loud to the dog (without bothering us) to get them back in line. This has helped cut back on unwanted barking, jumping up and pulling on the leash without hurting the dog. I don’t know what we would do without this device, it’s exactly what we needed!” — MG
“Works great on my 3 dogs. Just enough to get their attention and not send them off yelping. I also deliver mail and at a few points a dog or two bark so loudly near me that it’s almost painfully loud. Now I get to distract the dogs with my own noise (silently) and get my job done. I’m happy they included a light in this model. Battery, light and emitter are all very effective and work great. Feels like a solid and quality product. Good buy and money well spent.” — Dave
If you want to keep your pet feeling as cute as they look, check out this list of vet-approved water fountains by Haley Zovickian.

A sturdy stainless steel fountain for larger dogs and multiple pets
This 7-liter water fountain is specifically designed for larger dogs and multi-pet households thanks to its extra-large water capacity and wide shape. It features multi-layer filtration for fresh, clean water and offers two flow types (a faucet or bubbling mode). Reviewers say it’s easy to clean and that they’ll “never go back to [a] regular water bowl.”
Promising review (multi-pet household): “I really like Oneisall Products and I do like this water fountain for the dogs. I have a large golden doodle and a basset hound and I have noticed that they definitely are drinking more water each day. I do wish it had a little deeper dish on top for holding water for the dogs, but it doesn’t seem to have stopped them from drinking regularly. I do recommend purchasing extra filters because with two dogs you will go through them much quicker than the recommendations by the company.” — Ark
A dog fountain with an innovative whirlpool design (30% off)
Vets recommend using water fountains to encourage your pet to drinks more water, as fountains better align with dogs’ and cats’ evolutionary instincts.
We think Petlibro’s 8-liter water fountain is a great option, and it’s on sale for less than usual right now.
The fountain’s whirlpool design helps keep water cool while whisking impurities like dirt and hair down the center into the multi-layer filtration system. Designed for large and medium-sized dogs, the whirlpool also helps minimize over-gulping to reduce indigestion and vomiting, much like a slow feeder.
The fountain’s anti-splash shield is an extra plus so your floor doesn’t get drenched from your pup’s water-guzzling.
Pro Tip: Amazon only notes this as a 10% off deal BUT per our trackers, this is actually usually around $60, so you’re really getting around a 33% discount. Grab it while you can before Amazon realizes the error.

A 2.5-liter water fountain with a convenient removable tank
This PetLibro water fountain is a standout for its innovative tank, which detaches from its base. This design makes it easier for you to wash the fountain more frequently, since you won’t have to deal with lugging an entire fountain, cords and all, to your sink. The fountain has a snap safety lid so your pet can’t detach the tank by themselves by accident (or if they’re prone to mischievousness).
The fountain also has a handy translucent base, so you can easily monitor when the water level is getting low. It’s BPA-free, features four-layer filtration and offers two flow modes (bubbling and free-fall) so you can adjust based on your pet’s preference.
Another plus? Reviewers love how quiet it is.
This also comes in a stainless steel version available at Amazon.

An enticing stream fountain with 15,000 5-star ratings
This falling stream fountain from Petsafe emulates a human-style water fountain (which, if you haven’t seen for yourself, dogs love drinking out of).
Sized for dogs and cats, the flowing water helps encourage pets to drink while making it easy. Its bottom reservoir keeps more water available, and you can even customize the water flow by adjusting the pump.
The piece holds 4.9 liters of water.
Amazon
An affordable bestseller for cats and small and medium breed dogs
This Amazon bestseller sports over 25,000 5-star ratings thanks its five-layer filtration and pet-friendly design. Each of the faucet’s “flower petals” gently streams water to encourage pets to drink (and catch their attention). Available in four colors, it holds 2.8 liters of water and is made with food-grade, BPA-free material.
You can also grab it in a stainless steel version.
Or a sleek stainless-steel fountain for smaller dogs and cats
I own this Petsafe stainless steel fountain and my cat loves it, preferring it over her other fountain. Its sleek, tower-like design creates a cooling, bubbling effect that encourages her to drink — while looking mod-cool enough to fit into the rest of my decor. (I can attest: Its design consistently earns compliments.)
Durable and hefty, its 60-ounce water capacity best serves cats and smaller dogs. Plus, crucially, its deep reservoir ensures that your pet will still have access to water even if the power goes out.

A multi-tiered ceramic option ideal for older pets
A great pick for senior pets or animals with arthritis due to its elevated design, this ceramic fountain combines two flowing streams with an open bowl that’ll keep water available should your power go out.
Best used for cats and medium and small dogs, this model holds 70 ounces of water.
Promising review: “I really like the design of this fountain. It’s attractive and matches my existing white ceramic food bowls. It’s ceramic and heavy enough my cat can’t knock it over, which is great. Been using it for about a month with no issues. I add water regularly and completely empty and clean it out once a week. Easy to assemble/disassemble.” — K
Amazon
A 2.1-liter ceramic fountain that melds function with cuteness
This tiered ceramic water fountain is something of a hidden gem on Amazon. Its quiet bubbling provides fresh water without nagging background noise, and its “open access” design allows pets to keep drinking out of it even if you have a power outage.
It’s solid and sturdy enough that your pet won’t be able to push it around or tip it over. Plus, its cupcake shape adds a little touch of cuteness for your sweetie.
