Reclaim your movie nights! BarkSkip warns and automatically skips mapped animal and noise triggers on Netflix, so your reactive, TV-watching dog can relax.
We love our dogs, but watching TV with a reactive, anxious, or noise-sensitive pup can be exhausting. The sudden barking, lunging at the screen, or howling every time a dog appears, a horse neighs, or a siren blares turns a relaxing evening into a stressful management session. You end up sitting on the edge of the couch, clutching the remote, ready to mute or fast-forward at a moment’s notice.
BarkSkip is a Safari extension for Mac, for owners of reactive, noise-sensitive dogs. On supported Netflix titles, it shows a brief on-screen warning, then skips past curated trigger scenes—no remote juggling required.
HOW TO GET STARTED
1. Install BarkSkip from the Mac App Store, then open the app once so Safari can enable the extension.
2. Go to Safari → Settings → Extensions and turn BarkSkip On.
3. Open Netflix in Safari, turn on Extension Power in the BarkSkip popup, and pick a supported title.
