PetSafe Ultrasonic Bark Collar


The PetSafe Ultrasonic Bark Control Collar Uses annoying ultrasonic sounds that only dogs can hear. Its sound activated and water-resistant. It is not recommended for more determined and larger dogs that tend to require a stronger solution for nuisance barking. This ultrasonic bark collar uses a safe ultrasonic sound to distract or deter a dog from barking. The sound is inaudible to humans but is annoying to a dog which teaches them that barking isn’t fun to do for no reason. 

It’s built to be very lightweight at only 28g so it’s comfortable for most small dogs and even has an adjustable collar strap to fit their necks. If you prefer to use your own collar, it can be attached as long as the collar strap is 2.5cm or less in width.

PetSafe UltraSonic Bark Control Collar Manual 


HOW THE PETSAFE ULTRASONIC BARK CONTROL COLLAR WORKS

The PetSafe® Ultrasonic Bark Control Collar effectively deters barking when it is worn. When the microphone picks up the sound of your dog's bark, the unit emits an ultrasonic tone that can be heard by your dog but is silent to most humans. Startled by the high-pitched tone, the dog should stop barking, as it will associate its bark with this unpleasant noise.


KEY DEFINITIONS

Microphone: Detects barking.
Two Color LED: Lights whenever Ultrasonic Bark Control is activated. It also blinks to show low battery status.
Speaker: Produces the ultrasonic tone. 
Battery Tray: Used to hold the two 3-volt batteries (CR2032).
ON/OFF Switch: Turns the Ultrasonic Bark Control Collar on ( | ) and off ( O ).
 

FIT THE BARK CONTROL COLLAR

Important: For the training to be effective; the collar must be properly fitted and placed on the dog’s neck.
Steps for proper fitting of the collar:

  1. Turn bark collar off.
  2. Let the dog stand comfortably (A).
  3. Place the Bark Control Collar on the dog’s neck close to the ears. Position the bark control collar at the center. with the On/Off Switch facing upward (B). 
  4. The Bark Control Collar should be tight. The ideal fit is one that can accommodate one finger between the collar and the back of the dog’s neck C (C). The fit should be snug—not choking. 
  5. Allow your dog to wear the collar first for several minutes, then Re-check the fit; the fit should be that when the dog can comfortably move about. 
  6. Steps in trimming the collar: (D)

a. Place the collar around the dog’s neck. Mark the desired length of the collar. Give an allowance for growth if your dog is young or if it grows a thick winter coat. 

b. Remove the Bark Control Collar from your dog and cut off the excess from your mark off point. 

c. Before putting the Bark Control Collar back on your dog’s neck, seal the frayed edge of the cut collar by running it over a candle/flame. 

The Bark Control Collar can not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period. A collar worn too long could lead to skin irritation. Please refer to page 2 for additional information.


TO RE-THREAD THE COLLAR

  • The slide buckle prevents the collar from laying loose around your pet’s neck.
  • The ridges must be face up; the collar will slip not threaded properly.


TO INSERT AND REMOVE THE BATTERIES

Note: NEVER install the batteries with the Bark Control Collar on your dog. 

  1. Detach the collar from the Ultrasonic Bark unit. 
  2. Remove the screw from the back of the unit using a small Phillips screwdriver. 
  3. Slide the battery tray out. 
  4. Install two (2), 3-volt (CR2032) batteries positive (+) side up. 
  5. Slide the battery tray back in place and secure it by putting back the screw you have removed.

BATTERY LIFE

The average battery life is 1-3 months, depending on how often your dog barks. As your dog uses the collar for the first time; naturally; your first batteries may not last as long as replacement batteries as your dog is still trying to learn.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING USE OF THE BARK CONTROL COLLAR

Important: Do not leave your dog alone during the first few days of training.

During the early stages of training; stay close to your dog; that you may see him react to the correction. Most dogs quickly understand that the Bark Control Collar is disrupting their urge to bark in response, they will relax and stop barking. The ultrasonic correction from the Bark Control Collar may be surprising or startling at first, so some dogs may bark as a reaction to the correction at the initial correction.

There are also rare occasions where a dog may get into a bark-correction-bark-correction cycle. If this happens, make sure that you are there to reassure your dog with calmness. You should be able to make your dog feel relax and as he does, he will understand that if he becomes quiet, he will not receive any more ultrasonic corrections. This scenario rarely happens though and will only have it the first time they wear the Bark Control Collar.

A reduction in barking should be noticed within the first couple of days of wearing the Bark Control Collar. It is important to remember that the learning process is still not complete even if you have already noticed a good reduction in his barking. Dogs tend to “test” this new learning experience and will increase their attempts to bark; this usually occurs during the second week. If this does occur, remain consistent and do not change your training procedures/schedule with Bark Control Collar. You must let your dog wear the Bark Control Collar every time you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not on the Bark Control Collar, he may resume barking and his learning may backslide.

Note: Pet within the range of the device will be affected by the ultrasonic tone.
 

MAINTENANCE TIPS

  • If you intend to play with your dog; turn the unit off and remove the Bark Control Collar first. You have to do this every time you want to engage in bark-prone activities with your dog such as chasing or petting. We do not want the dog to make the wrong association of the correction and your petting activity. 
  • Turn OFF the device if not in use.
  • The PetSafe® Ultrasonic Bark Control Collar is for dogs that are over 6 months of age.
  • If your pet is injured or if its movement is impaired, contact your veterinarian or professional trainer before using the product.
  • Do not leave your device unattended; do not leave it anywhere; especially in a place where the dog can get it and chew it
  • Do not attempt to self-repair the device; this will invalidate the warranty and may cause more damage.
  • Clean dog’s hair weekly with a washcloth and mild hand soap. Rinse and dry the dog’s neck thoroughly.
