How It Works
When the PetSafe®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 8 metres. Note: If the
dog is deaf or hearing impaired, he may not react to the PetSafe®Indoor Bark Control.
Key Definitions
Microphone: Detects barking.
Two-Colour LED: Lights whenever the Indoor
Bark Control is activated. Also blinks to show
battery status.
On/Off Switch: Turns the Indoor Bark Control
on ( | ) and off ( O ).
Speaker: Produces the ultrasonic tone.
Battery Tray: Used to hold the 3-Volt lithium
CR2032 batteries.

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Do not
short circuit, mix old and new batteries, dispose of in fire, or expose to
water. When batteries are stored or disposed, they must be protected
from shorting. Dispose of used batteries properly.
Battery Life
Average battery life is 2 months, depending on how often your dog barks. However, due to
your dog’s learning process, your first batteries may not last as long as replacement batteries.
To conserve battery life, turn unit off when not in use.

Setup
The 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.
Using the 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 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 neighbourhood. 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 customised 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 ultrasonic tone.
• Turn OFF the unit while not in use.
• The 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 the unit unattended where your dog could accidentally damage it through chewing.
• Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. This will invalidate the warranty and make repairs
more difficult.
• For indoor use only.
• Remove the batteries before cleaning.
• Clean the Indoor Bark Control with a damp cloth. Do not use any kind of spray
chemicals or solvent to clean.
• Do not immerse unit in water or any other liquid.
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.
