Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The QueenMew Anti Barking Device is a handheld ultrasonic repeller: you point it, press the button, and it emits a 15–25kHz variable-frequency tone intended to interrupt barking. It is the #5 pick in our guide to anti-bark devices, priced at £19.99, with a 5.0 rating from 41 ratings — every one of them 5-star — and a claimed range of 16.4 ft (5 m).

The reason it makes the guide is not the rating but the way its own numbers pull against each other. The bullets describe a built-in 1800mAh lithium battery that charges over USB in about five hours and runs for up to 15 hours. The specification table directly underneath says "1 12V batteries required. (included)" and answers "Yes" to Batteries Required?. A 12V cell and a USB-rechargeable 1800mAh pack are not the same thing, and the listing never reconciles them. The same table answers Item model number, Part Number, Included Components and Specific Uses with the single character "1". On range, though, this listing is one of the modest ones: 16.4 ft is an exact conversion of 5 m, and it is the shortest figure in a category where other ads quote 33 ft and 40 ft. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it stands — we have not tested the device ourselves.

What buyers actually say

Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon

“There are few things that ruin a dawn run like our dog barking himself silly at the gulls outside. I was running on fumes, not endorphins, after yet another 6 am chorus.So I clipped the little QueenMew box to the garden fence, thumbed the middle sensitivity and crossed my fingers. It's no bigger than a chunky soap bar, takes two AAA batteries, and the green LED gives a reassuring blink when it fires that high pitched tone the dog hears but we don't. First blast, he stopped mid-yap, tilted his head, then wandered off to pester the cat instead, I nearly cheered.And the teenagers slept through the whole thing, miracle.Range seems solid, it reaches from fence to back door about ten metres, even through the salt air here on the coast. Wind did swing it once causing a random flash, a quick cable tie sorted that.Build feels sturdy, sound is consistent, peace is priceless. I clicked five stars without a second thought.”

Living by the sea

“Our postie never keeps to schedule and our collie, barks like mad each time. Last week I pulled the QueenMew ultrasonic trainer from my coat as the van rolled up.About the size of a chunky TV remote, it sits neatly in my hand, rubber ridges keep it steady and a tiny LED blinks when I press the trigger. The built in battery tops up with the same USB lead as my phone, saving me rummaging for loose AAs in the drawers.I tapped once, nothing I could hear, yet she spun round as if I'd called her. And because the signal carries well I stayed by the gate, asked for a sit, then rewarded before the neighbours noticed. There's no fiddling, just one button.So the unit now lives in my dog walking jacket. Battery still reads full after a week and the LED doubles as a torch for late garden trips. Without splashing out I've gained quieter evenings and a calmer collie, proper value for a bit of quiet.”

Questions people ask

How long does the battery last?

The bullets claim up to 15 hours of use from the 1800 mAh battery after a 5-hour USB charge. The specification table below them lists "1 12V batteries required. (included)", so the same listing describes two different power sources.

What is the range?

16.4 ft (5 m), given in both the title and the handheld-control bullet. Those two figures match each other, and it is the shortest range stated anywhere in our guide, where other listings quote 33 ft and 40 ft.

What do the reviews say, and how many are there?

The listing shows 5.0 from 41 ratings, all 5-star, with four written reviews. One of those reviews says the unit takes two AAA batteries, while another says its built-in battery tops up over the same USB lead as a phone — so the reviews themselves disagree about the power source.

Which dogs is it for?

The listing says it is optimised for dogs aged 6 months to 8 years. That bullet is cut off mid-sentence at "under 50 l", so the weight limit is never actually stated in full in the advert.

Is it safe for people and for the dog?

The listing states the sound is inaudible to human ears and 100% harmless to pets, with a green LED lighting while it emits and a description of it as a humane, non-contact training aid.

Why do several specification fields just say "1"?

Item model number, Part Number, Included Components and Specific Uses are each listed as "1" rather than a name or quantity. The listing gives no further detail in those fields.
