When it comes to owning a dog there are a few complaints that may come with it. One issue that some pet owners have is the amount of barking and yapping their dog does. If you have a dog that barks all the time, there are some things that you can do to help. The Petsafe bark control collar is a safe way to train your dog when it is okay to bark and when it is not. Petsafe Bark Control Collar is an easy-to-use bark control collar requires no programming and includes progressive correction. If your dog starts barking and doesn't stop, the static correction automatically increases to the next level until he stops. Safe and effective, the collar teaches your dog to stop his annoying barking. Petsafe Bark Control Collar is designed for dogs that weigh over 8 pounds (3.6kg), and fits neck sizes up to 28" (71cm). 6 levels of progressive static stimulation to eliminate or reduce excessive barking Vibration detection of your dog's bark ensures another dog barking or other noises will not cause a false correction Collar begins with the lowest level of static and increases in correction level if the barking continues Waterproof collar submersible up to 5 feet for all of your dog's outdoor activities The Good/low battery indicator alerts you when it is time to change your collar's power source. Uses PetSafe RFA-67 lithium battery (included). How it Works When your pup starts to bark the vibration will trigger a sensor probe that is located in the collar. A static correction will then be sent through several contact points located on the collar. The lowest level of correction is used first and then will increase through six levels each time the dog barks within 30 seconds of his previous barks. Once your dog stops barking the collar resets itself to the lower level. The process starts again when the dog starts barking. The collar transmits a beep along with each of the static corrections. The correction causes a mild tingling and does not harm your dog in any way. Your canine will learn not to bark while wearing the collar. Static correction is a very mild tingle, and the collar adjusts the correction based on your dog's temperament. She will quickly learn not to bark when the collar is on. As an added safety feature the Bark Control Collar will automatically shut off for 3 minutes if your dog barks 15 times or more within 50 seconds. When using your Bark Control Collar for the first time, fit the adjustable strap to your dog and wait nearby until your dog barks. Most pets will quickly understand the new sensation is telling her to be quiet. For more information, please visit the manufacturer's website @: http://www.petsafe.net/
