Effective against barking dogs
I bought this horn because every time I went out on my balcony, two dogs on a nearby balcony chased me inside with their frenzied barking. I couldn't sit outside with a cup of coffee and enjoy the view. The dogs were there night and day. I was a prisoner in my own home. I could even hear the dogs through the walls. A conversation with the dogs' owner showed he had as little intelligence and consideration as his yapping pets. I did a search on the internet for a solution and found helpful reviews here on Amazon.
This horn is loud. The first time I blasted the dogs they appeared stunned but kept on barking. A few more toots brought the owner to a window to investigate. A while later, he took the animals inside. I imagine (but am not really sure) he finally understood the trouble his pets were causing. By the fifth blast, his dogs were running for cover on the balcony and hiding. I believe I may have added an extra toot here and there for sheer vengeful pleasure. Later, i just had to show myself and the dogs would hide in silence. No horn was needed. I could finally enjoy a coffee and the view in peace.
I highly recommend this horn if you feel trapped in your own home due to barking dogs outside.
