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.
Key Definitions
Microphone: Detects barking.
Two Color LED: Lights whenever the

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.

What to Expect During Use of the Indoor Bark Control
Place the PetSafe®Indoor Bark Control within range of the dog with the unit turned
on. Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Indoor Bark Control is disrupting
their urge to bark and will relax and stop barking. You should notice a reduction in
the dog’s barking within the first two weeks that the Indoor Bark Control is in use.
Please note this product may not work on deaf or hearing impaired dogs.
Excessive barking can cause a real strain on your relationship with your pet, as well as
cause disruptions in your neighborhood. In some situations this product may become
an aid to barking cessation, and not necessarily a cure. Please visit www.petsafe.net
to view other customized solutions to the problem of too much barking.
Tips and Maintenance
• Before playing with your dog, turn the unit off. The activity may cause your dog
to bark, which could lead to him associating the play with the correction.
• Turn OFF the device while not in use.
• The PetSafe®Indoor Bark Control should only be used with pets that are over 6
months of age.
• If your pet is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your
veterinarian or professional trainer before use.
• Do not leave your device unattended where your dog could accidentally damage
it through chewing.
• Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. This will invalidate the warranty and
make repairs more difficult.

12 Customer Care Center 1-800-732-2677

• Remove the batteries before cleaning.
• Clean the Indoor Bark Control with a damp cloth. Do not use any kind of spray

Note: The Indoor Bark Control is weather-resistant, not waterproof. However, if
water enters into the microphone it may disrupt the unit's operation. After the
microphone dries, it may resume to working properly.
