Rabid 1,936 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Why would you want to stop a dog barking ? I encourage mine to bark at anything different or out the ordinary ? Is it a constant problem them barking through the night annoying neighbours or something ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mooching Celt 659 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wall-PIR-Motion-Detector-Light-Switch-Security-Sensor-Voice-Sound-Activated-/301212932549?hash=item4621b099c5:g:--kAAOSwcnpTmV8~ I made my own setup, not sure if it was mine that the other guys are talking about but this is the switch i used along with a washing machine inlet valve http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380850964785?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Had to wire in a light aswell as the switch itself didn't create enough load to make the switch work properly (would switch off after timeout) It's so simple to make, i'm not a sparky but i sussed it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
