Therefore, the ultrasonic defense only disturbs the dogs and not the garden owners and their neighbors. In the long run, the dogs find the high frequencies extremely annoying and avoid the areas provided with ultrasound.

The ultrasonic dog scarer can be installed in various ways, depending on the type of device. It depends above all on the corresponding environment and the respective requirements. Due to the specific size of the dogs, the ultrasound should reach them at their height. If the device hangs too high, a large blind spot is created and the area below the device is not monitored.
