A question that is often asked of us is. Can this be used for my dog that’s happy to be quiet? Does my dog need Bark Control?
There is no simple answer except that dogs bark for many different reasons but in most cases barking serves as a form of communication. Dog owners will generally recognise four different types of bark; warning alarm playful and need. For instance continuous fast barking is a warning perhaps alerting that someone is entering their home territory whereas long drawn-out barks at a high pitch with pauses between each one indicate that a dog is in need and is possibly lonely. It is important for dog owners to try to establish why their dog is barking. Some barking may be completely normal such as when someone knocks at the front door but other barking may be associated with behavioural problems such as separation anxiety. Bark Control systems should not be used on dogs whose barking is a consequence of an anxiety or stress related condition.
However when a dog barks as someone knocks the door it is perfectly ok after all you welcome that action.
However once you have been alerted you need it to stop this and can be reinforced easily with the collar.
How it works
The PetSafe Ultrasonic Bark Control collar effectively deters barking when it is worn. When the microphone picks up the sound of your dogs 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 in the same way you continually say "Quiet" until you actually start to shout which is not helpful.
Introducing your dog to a Bark Control system
It is the ability of the stimulation to interrupt a dogs barking that makes these systems such valuable social tools. However because of this response it is important that these systems are introduced slowly and according to the instructions for any such product.

- This means that the dog can avoid unpleasant stimulation by adjusting his behaviour.
- The dog controls the stimulation - not the owner.
- Ultimately the dog learns not to bark and avoid stimulation completely.

- Water-resistant
- Fits neck sizes up to 71 cm.
