PetSafe Vibration Bark Collar VBC-10 Owner's Manual
 


THE WAY THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

The Vibration Bark Control Collar has two major characteristics designed to reduce the training phase and advertise excellent behavior.

Initially, the bark control provides 10 mixtures of vibration correction. Once the dog barks vibration is delivered from one of the two Vibration Points. The length of the vibration is random, which interrupts the dog’s bark. When used in accordance with instruction the Vibration Bark Control Collar properly reduces (and in most cases eliminates) nuisance barking.

Secondly, the Vibration Bark Control Collar involves Patented Perfect Bark™ technology. It uses both vibration and sound sensors (dual-detection) to discriminate each bark from other external noises. This ensures your dog’s bark is the only sound that will cause the correction.

As a built-in safety feature, if your dog barks 15 times or more within a 1 minute 20 second period, the Bark Control Collar will automatically shut off for 1 minute.
 

ESSENTIAL DEFINITIONS

Three Color LED: Demonstrates good or low battery and signifies Test Mode.
Sound Activated Sensor: Detects the sound of your dog’s bark.
Vibration Points: Provide Vibration Correction.
On/Off Battery Module: Turns the collar on and off.


FIT THE BARK CONTROL COLLAR

Important: The right fit and placement of your Bark Control Collar is very important for successful operation. The Vibration Points will need to have direct contact with your dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.

To guarantee a proper fit, make sure you follow these steps:

1. Be sure that the battery is in the “OFF” position.
2. Have your dog standing comfortably.
3. Center the Vibration Points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (B).

Note: It is sometimes needed to trim the hair around the Vibration Points to make sure that contact is consistent.
CAUTION: Do not shave the pet’s neck because this may possibly increase the risk of skin irritation.

4. Examine the tightness of the Bark Control Collar by placing one finger between the strap and the dog’s neck (C). The fit ought to be snug but not constricting. 
5. Let your dog wear the collar for several minutes, then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable with the Bark Control Collar. 
6. Trim the collar as follows: (D) 
a. Mark the preferred length of the collar with a pen. Allow for growth if your dog is young or grows a thick winter coat. 
b. Remove the Bark Control Collar from your dog and cut off the excess. 
c. Seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the frayed edge before placing the Bark Control Collar back onto your dog.
 

ON/OFF BATTERY PACK UNIT

The PetSafe® Vibration Bark Control Collar is packaged with the battery module installed in the “OFF” position. To switch on the collar, use a coin to turn the Battery Module counter clockwise until the arrow lines up with the “ON” position. If the collar is not going to be used on the dog immediately leave it in the “OFF” position.
 

TO PLACE AND REMOVE THE BATTERY

Note: Tend not to put in the battery while the Bark Control Collar is on your dog.

  1. Align the line on the battery with the triangle on the Bark Control Collar (A).
  2. Use a coin to turn the battery clockwise until the line points to the “On” position if you are putting it on the dog or the “Off” position if it is not being put on the dog right away (B).
  3. To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-clockwise using a coin (C, D). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the used battery properly.
  4. To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-clockwise using a coin (C, D). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the used battery properly.

BATTERY LIFE

Regular battery life is 3 to 6 months, depending on how frequently your dog barks.

WHAT TO ANTICIPATE DURING USE OF THE VIBRATION BARK CONTROL COLLAR

Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a Vibration Correction.

Put the Bark Control Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks. Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Bark Control Collar is interfering with their urge to bark and will relax and stop barking.

Because the Vibration Correction from the Bark Control Collar may be surprising or startling at first, some dogs may bark more at the initial correction.

On unusual occasions, a dog might get into a bark-correction-bark-correction cycle. If this happens, reassure your dog with calm, soothing tones. He will understand that if he becomes quiet, he will not receive any more Vibration Corrections, as your dog relaxes.

The small minority of dogs that have this reaction will only have it the first time they wear the Bark Control Collar.

You must discover a reduction in your dog’s barking within the first couple of days that he wears the Bark Control Collar. At this point, it is essential to keep in mind that the learning process is still not complete.

Dogs will “test” this new learning experience and will boost their attempts to bark. This normally happens during the second week a dog wears the Bark Control Collar.

Remain consistent and do not alter your use of the Bark Control Collar if this happens. You must position the Bark Control Collar on your dog in every situation when you expect him to be quiet.

If your dog is not wearing the Bark Control Collar, he may resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
 

IN ORDER TO AVOID SKIN IRRITATION FROM OCCURRING

Risk of skin damage. For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this product, you should ensure that you check the fit of your pet’s collar regularly. Discontinue the use of the collar for a few days if any skin irritation is observed. See your veterinarian if the condition persists beyond 48 hours.

Tend not to attach a leash to the Bark Control Collar. This can lead to pulling the Vibration Points too tightly against the neck of your pet. You may put a separate non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck and attach a leash. Do use a harness for attaching a leash and/or tags while using the Bark Control Collar.
