Barking Dog Monitor & Control app for iPhone and iPad
Is your dog barking while you are out? Is the dog next door continually barking? Run monitoring sessions to record and control excessive barking. You can see the results immediately through the use of graphical displays. The lower graph shows you a visual summary of the entire monitoring session while the upper graph shows instantaneous barking activity.
Was your dog disturbed? Was it lonely? Was it playing? See why your dog is barking with color analysis graphs which show the dog’s mood from the sounds in the bark.
Your initial acquisition provides you with everything you need to monitor and control your dog(s) barking. Unlimited monitoring duration, playback of a recorded reprimand to check your dog when it barks followed up by praise when it stops. Fast review features save you time when you get home.
You can monitor for well in excess of 12 hours as Barkn Mad has low storage and battery usage with background and screen-off recording.
If your dog is a barker you have further optional facilities to help control it:
・ Whistles to attract your dog’s attention
・ Boost the volume of your reprimand and praise recordings
・ Fine-tune when your reprimand and praise recordings are replayed
・ Support for Bluetooth hands free devices for recording and playback of reprimands and praise
・ Remotely view the monitoring session graphs on your iPhone
・ Setup periodic email updates and barking alerts for monitoring sessions
・ Access session recordings from your computer.
Additional features are available for raising or responding to complaints about barking:
・ Email download links to recording copies
・ Email download links to guaranteed unaltered recording copies
・ Capture and email monitoring and playback summary graphs as required.
・ Prove where the monitoring session was recorded (with the unlimited version)
Where barking complaints have occurred we recommend that both parties to the complaint (the neighbor and the owner) run Bark’n Mad to record barking and work together for a solution.

Excellent!!! Brilliant!.....highly recommended. Listen to what your dogs have been up too while your out. Very sensitive microphone. Absolutely genius app. Just what I was looking for to help train my dogs to be quiet while I am out and find out if the neighbours are over exaggerating. Picks up every single noise and very long recording time. Hope more quality apps like this to follow. Great tool.

We recently got a rescue dog not used to having his own pack and certainly not to being left alone. We were concerned he might be barking and that this would annoy or worry neighbours. We tried this app for the first time today and it worked perfectly! After an hour in, he started whining and barking a little, enough for the 20 second criteria to be reached and the prerecorded quiet message to be played. To my amazement listening to the recording afterward, he quietened down, was rewarded with the praise I had recorded, and was quiet for the rest of the time we were out! Just amazing.
…
I would like to say, however, that your App completely solved my "barking dog" problem, and in one hit! Our dog is a reasonably well trained golden retriever, but our neighbour informed us in strained tones (so I guess it must have been going on for a while), that whenever we both went out, which was infrequent, the dog barked incessantly until our return. In more desperation than any real hope, I picked up my trusty iPad and googled. Your App came up, so I installed it and tried it. I had noted the "Record reprimand" and "Record praise" bits. I was looking forward to hearing the result. From its first use, the dog, now, never barks when we go out, even if I dont leave the iPad! I think hes still trying to figure out how I knew, and was able to tell him off when he couldnt see me!
Congratulations on a fantastic App!

Latest reviews of Barking Dog Monitor & Control app for iPhone and iPad
I love the ability to hear exactly what my dog does while Im out of my apartment, so that if there are any noise complaints I can verify whether it was him or another dog in or around my building, and send the file as proof. The downside has been that the app often freezes up and Im unable to start recording without power cycling my ipad3. Also, my last session revealed that the pre-recorded message kept going off while I was gone, and there was no barking on my dogs part to provoke it. Any environmental noise that preceded it was brief, and very low in volume. I have the sensitivity on my mic down below half. Id love the ability to moniter the recording remotely so I know if I need to come home but otherwise Im very happy.
This app is done right. I left in running on my iPad all night long on the porch (plugged in) to document my neighbors barking dog. You can see and hear the barking. And you can add up the hours of barking so the lawyer can win the case. I would like to have a way to export or email the sound file so I can deliver it to the dog owner to hear.
Im using it as a way of training my dog to stop barking. The only thing I wish is for a way to adjust the duration between the app hearing the bark, and my recording of scolding the dog. Right now it waits for 20 seconds of barking before playing the scold, and I think it would work for training better if it waits for just 5 seconds of noise, and then it plays the recoding.
