“In aTuskegee University study of adult shelter dogs wearing the
PetSafe Bark Control CollarTM for six 30-minute sessions over
two weeks, we detected no long-term adverse effects, and all dogs
dramatically reduced their barking by the second day.”

How the PetSafe Deluxe Bark
Control CollarTM Works
The Deluxe Bark Control Collar has a unique patented sensor technique that
provides the most reliable bark detection available.The Bark Control Collar
uses both vibration and sound sensors to discriminate each bark from other
external noises.A Static Correction is administered through the Contact
Points only if both the vibration from the vocal cords and the sound from the
bark match the bark sampling criteria.The Bark Control Collar starts with the
lowest level of Static Correction in each mode and then increases through 6
levels each time your dog barks within 30 seconds of the previous bark. If your
dog does not bark again within 30 seconds, the Bark Control Collar will reset
itself to the lowest level of Static Correction in the current mode.Along with
each Static Correction, the LED Indicator Light will flash.As a built-in safety
feature, if your dog barks 15 times or more within a 50-second period, the Bark
Control Collar will automatically shut off for 3 minutes.
Important:
• DO NOT attach a leash to the Bark Control Collar.You may put a
separate non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck and attach a leash.
Note:Be sure the extra collar does not interfere with the Contact
Points or Sensor Probe.
•Your dog may wear a harness for attaching a leash and/or tags while
using the Bark Control Collar.
• Before playing with your dog, remove the Bark Control Collar.
The activity may cause your dog to bark, which could lead to him
associating the play with the Static Correction.
• Never leave the Bark Control Collar on for more than 12 consecutive
hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my dog stop
barking completely? •The Bark Control Collar effectively and humanely
stops all barking when it is worn. It should only be
worn during periods of unwanted barking.
Will another dog’s
bark set off the Bark
Control Collar?
• No.
Is the Bark Control
Collar safe and
humane?
•Yes.The Bark Control Collar is designed to get
your dog’s attention, not to punish him. However,
the initial Static Correction may startle your dog.
Will the Bark Control
Collar work for my
dog?
•The Bark Control Collar is safe and effective for all
breeds and sizes of dogs, though it may be too large
for dogs under 8 pounds to wear comfortably.
Can I attach a leash
to the Bark Control
Collar?
• No.This can result in pulling the Contact Points too
tightly against your pet’s neck.Attach a leash to a
separate,non-metallic collar, making sure the extra
collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
Troubleshooting
My dog keeps barking
(does not respond to
the Static Correction).
•Tighten the Bark Control Collar and/or trim your
dog’s hair where the Contact Points touch his
neck to ensure good skin contact.
•Test the Bark Control Collar (see “ToTest the
Bark Control Collar” section).
• Increase the Correction Mode.
• Replace the battery.
• Contact the Customer Care Center at
1-800-732-2677.
The Indicator Light
keeps flashing. • Make sure the Mode Switch is not set toTEST.

contact the Customer Care Center at
