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.

FUNCTION AND RESPONSE TABLE

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.
