bjphillips Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Yes Ive got one & they are very good.I always leave it on when away.It would also be good in the motorhome when wild camping I would think, the only thing being that although they claim to be effective over 120 degrees mine always activates when it detects movement behind it as well.The barking does sound very real tho. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romany Queen Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Thank you ... on reflection (it's my husband that wants one not me...) I wonder if it may upset our "real" dogs ..?!! I can see that it would be useful whilst wild camping though and also when the dogs are with us of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat P Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hi Romany Queen Your dogs may well show some concern at the sound of barking dogs but if you totally ignore their reaction they should soon get used to it. Dogs rely on feed back from the rest of their social group and if you do not give them any and appear totally unconcerned then you should not have too much to worry about. (this goes for any other reaction by the dogs to a fear stimulus too) Remember that it is not the size of the dog that worries intruders it the alarm that they give off. Anyway I would not want to be bitten by a Yorkie would you? Regards Pat PS I am a pet behaviour therapist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Do these have to be plugged in to 12v or do they work off batteries? If the latter how long do they last on one set of batteries?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjphillips Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Usually 6x1.5 batteries & also on the mains they are supplied with the adhapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
