How the Shock-Free No-Bark Ball with Dual Sonic Technology works
Motorola's No-Bark Ball is a quick, easy and fair way to reduce excessive barking
behavior. Whenever the No-Bark Ball detects that your dog is barking, it releases
an unpleasant high-pitched ultrasonic sound to interrupt its barking.
You can choose from three levels of correction (Level 1 - low ultrasonic sound,
Level 2 - medium ultrasonic sound, Level 3 - high ultrasonic sound) to match
your dog's personality. Our goal is to limit excessive barking, not to attempt to
eliminate or suppress all barking.
Important guidelines when using the Shock-Free No-Bark Ball with
Dual Sonic Technology
• Even though most humans cannot hear the ultrasonic sound, do not place
the No-Bark Ball close to the ear.
• Do not allow children to operate the system.
• All pets within the hearing range will be affected by the ultrasonic sound.
• Do not drop the No-Bark Ball.
• The No-Bark Ball is designed for use with dogs to control excessive barking
behavior only. Do not use it for any other purposes that are not described in
this User’s Guide.
• For best results, use indoors.

4. When Using the Shock-Free No-Bark Ball
with Dual Sonic Technology the First Few
Times
Dogs learn and adapt at different speeds. It may take several times for your dog
to understand the purpose of the No-Bark System. After a couple of days using
the No-Bark Ball, your dog will learn to relax and reduce its barking behavior.
However, please remain consistent in your use of the No-Bark Ball even after you
notice a reduction in your dog’s barking.
Do not leave your dog alone when using the No-Bark Ball the first few
times.
As the ultrasonic sound may be startling to some dogs, stay around your dog
after powering on the No-Bark Ball for the first few times.
IMPORTANT
Reward your dog with treats, play and praise when it is not barking.
Many dogs will bark while playing with people or other dogs. Power off No-bark
Ball before playing with your dog to avoid the unit from releasing ultrasonic
correction.
