Barking Dog Alarm - have you used one?

[DanielLee5]

Thinking of buying a barking dog alarm, the idea of a dog barking as someone approaches appeals to us.

I can think of one or two possible problems though, but maybe that's just me going off on the wrong tangent?

The alarm is triggered by movement in front of the sensor, not by movement of the motorhome/alarm which may be a better idea.

The range for the alarm to start, through a door or panel is said to be 2 - 8m, and when there is nobody within range it will stop.

I guess if we are on a camp site, aire, public parking or similar that will mean if there are people walking around a lot of the time the alarm will go off repeatedly, is that true in practice?

Also, we have to get into the van to turn it off, so that will mean the alarm will set off again for a while, is this a problem?

If anyone has used one of these or maybe parked up near to one when set, do you have any comments?

Thanks

I'm trying not to and trying to teach my dog to bark less. When i've brought it here, it wasn't for security reason and when it barks on any stranger or just for something unusual, it creates so high level of stress for it. So, i'm kinda trying to avoid that. My dog already have gone to visit here and i'm trying not to repeat that situation.
