Well if the Repeller reduces the barking it would be considered a "punisher" in behavioral terms. We have to lose our set ideas about punishers and reinforcers, because they are called that not because how aversive or pleasant they are, but only how the effect the probability of the response.
By the way, my phone works as a repeller too, I'm glad they made the repeller black. I don't even know where the repeller is, but I've got all these things that look like it.
