How It Works
When the Indoor Bark Control is within range of a barking dog, an internal microphone
picks up the sound. The unit automatically emits an ultrasonic tone that can be heard
by dogs but is silent to most humans. Startled by the high-pitched tone, the dog
should stop barking. In time it will associate its bark with this unpleasant noise. When
the dog stops barking, the ultrasonic tone also stops. It is effective up to 25 feet.
Note: If the dog is deaf or hearing impaired, he may not react to the Indoor Bark Control.

Setup
The PetSafe®Indoor Bark Control should be placed facing the dog and at a level
equal to the dog’s height to be most effective.
The unit includes provisions for hanging or can be adhered using the Self-Adhesive
Hook and Loop Mounting Strip. The Indoor Bark Control can also stand alone. For best
results, the area between the unit and your dog should be free of any large obstacles.

Hook and Loop Mounting Strip.
2. Gently pull the two pieces of Mounting Strips apart.
3. Peel the tape from one side of the Mounting Strip and press firmly in place on
the back of the Indoor Bark Control.
4. When adhering to the wall, door frame, etc., clean and dry the surface before
application.
5. Peel tape from the second side of the Mounting Strip and press firmly in place.
6. Simply press the two Mounting Strips together.
7. Adhesive reaches maximum strength after 24 hours.
