The PetSafe Bark Control Collar™ has two primary features designed to
shorten the training phase and promote good behavior.
First, the Bark Control Collar has a unique patented sensor that provides
the most reliable bark detection available. The Bark Control Collar uses
both vibration and sound sensors (dual-detection) 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
chords and the sound from the bark match the same criteria.
Second, the Bark Control Collar has a new patent pending Temperament
Learning System design that is effective across many dog breeds and their
individual barking behaviors. The Temperament Learning System contains
software that tracks the number of corrections needed to substantially
reduce (and in most cases eliminate) the number of nuisance barks.
The system has 10 levels of Static Correction. It begins with low-level
corrections, however, if excessive barking continues the correction
intensity will increase with each successive bark until the barking stops.
Once the dog has learned to reduce the barking, the initial warning
corrections are reduced. As a built-in safety feature, if your dog barks
15 times or more within a 1 minute 20 second period, the Bark Control
Collar will automatically shut off for 3 minutes.
