Before We Get Started

WHAT IS ULTRASONIC SOUND?

Ultrasonic sounds are frequencies that are higher than the range of human hearing. However, they can be very irritating to dogs.

Ultrasonic sound has been used for over a century to successfully train dogs.

HOW LONG WILL TRAINING TAKE?

Some dogs take longer to train than others and bad habits are sometimes hard to break. Allow 2-3 weeks to see results.

WHERE CAN I USE IT?

You can stop barking from anywhere that you have a clear line of sight. Hang your Dog Silencer on a tree, set it on top of a fence…

the list goes on.

Plug it in or Use Batteries

It’s Time to Stop Barking. Ready?

Use 6 AA batteries for areas that don’t have an AC

outlet nearby. This is an ideal option for large yards

and dogs that are far away from a power source.

Important!

Remove the batteries when using AC power.

Use the AC adapter when close enough to a power source. You

can also use the optional extension (sold separately) for longer

distances. Ideal for indoors, smaller yards, and close to your home.

Installing Your Dog Silencer

2A Lift the rubber grommet on the side of the Dog

WHERE DOES IT GO?

You have several options. Set the Dog Silencer on a at surface, or for extra stability, pull out the sliding mounts on the bottom

and fasten it down. You can also hang the Dog Silencer anywhere you can put a screw or nail by using the keyholes on the back of

the device.

DO I NEED A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT?

Yes, ensure that you have a clear line of sight between the Dog Silencer and the dog you are trying to train. Ultrasonic sound will

not travel through solid objects like walls or fences.

Use the remote when you want to activate the Dog Silencer manually or when the dog is outside the 75 foot automatic

bark detection range. It will work up to about 100 feet from the unit, and silence dogs up to 300 feet away.

Want the Dog Silencer to activate only when you use the remote?

Simply turn the Bark Sensitivity Dial all the way down so that the unit won’t activate when the dog barks.

More About The Remote: The Dog Silencer must be turned on (set to either ‘Audio’ or ‘Ultra’) in order for the remote to work. The remote, which uses a 12V 23A battery, will not turn the unit on or

o. Since there is no door on the remote to access the battery, we recommend calling Customer Care rather than trying to change it yourself.

WHEN DO I USE THE REMOTE?

with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct

the interference by one or more of the following measures:

-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.

-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution

Changes or Modications not expressly approved by the party responsible could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Warning

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. This product need power supply by adapter that can meet LPS. The

maximum operating temperature is 45°C.

IS THIS DEVICE LEGAL TO USE ON A NEIGHBOR’S DOG?

Because the Dog Silencer relies on ultrasonic sound as a training method, it is outside the human hearing range and is not typically covered

under noise ordinances. Additionally, due to the way noise is measured (A-weighting), the Dog Silencer can normally be used in environments

where OSHA regulates ultrasonic sound levels. That said, we don’t recommend using the Audio setting for neighbor’s dogs.

THE DEVICE ACTIVATES EVEN WHEN THE DOG DOESN’T BARK!

You might have the bark sensor set too high, which means it may be activating to noises unrelated to barking. Try turning the bark sensor down

slightly so that noise or loud sounds do not trigger it.

ARE THERE ANY DOGS THIS WON’T WORK ON?

We don’t recommend the Dog Silencer for dogs younger than 1 year as their ears are still developing and may be very sensitive. Older dogs may

have high-frequency hearing loss that could prevent the ultrasonic sound from being eective. Check with your veterinarian if you have a puppy

or suspect that your dog has hearing loss.

SHOULD I USE THE ‘AUDIO’ SETTING?

You have two options - the‘Ultra’ setting emits ultrasonic sound while ‘Audio’ emits both ultrasonic and audible sounds at the same time. We’ve

found customers have the most success using the ‘Ultra’setting, but if you have an especially stubborn dog, try ‘Audio’.

INSTINCTUAL VS. HABITUAL BARKING

Heads up! Instinctual, territorial and protective barking may be more dicult to train than barking out of boredom or habit.

Troubleshooting

THE DOG IS BARKING THE SAME OR MORE THAN BEFORE!

No problem. Dogs may bark a little more at the start of the training process. This is only temporary while the dog is being deterred by the ultra-

sonic sound and is trying to resist training.
