Furthermore, the owner often gets agitated, and this is always going to increase barking. This unit actually detects the sound, and the owner doesn't have to do anything.

To the OP, I think I would move before I got rid of the dog, I think you are sending your son a horrible message if you decide to get rid of the dog, this can be a chance to teach your son something really important about pets and our responsibilities to them.

I agree 100%
