PetSafe Spray Bark Collar

Features

Overview: The PetSafe Spray Bark Collar effectively and humanely stops your dog from barking when you don't want him to. When the built-in sensor picks up the sound and vibration of your dog's bark, it triggers a harmless spray. It also works with whining and whimpering behavior. The Spray Bark Collar is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery.

Spray: The Spray Bark Collar comes with two 0.11-ounce cartridges, one containing citronella and the other unscented. When the collar detects a bark, it delivers a harmless spray mist to distract your dog. As an added safety feature, the collar will shut off automatically if your dog barks 15 times or more within a 50-second period. Both spray options are non-offensive to humans, and are stain-free and hypo-allergenic. Citronella and unscented spray refills are also available.

Collar: The 3/4" wide collar is made of sturdy nylon and is designed for dogs 8 pounds and up, and at least 6 months old. It is adjustable to fit neck sizes up to 27", and should be tightened to a point where you can insert a finger between the bark sensor and your pet's neck. The spray unit is water resistant, however it should not be submerged. The collar should be removed before bathing, swimming, or other activity where the collar could be submerged under water.

Effectiveness: The effectiveness of the Spray Bark Collar depends upon your usage of the collar and the temperament of the dog. You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the first couple of days of wearing the Anti-Bark collar. Some dogs will be trained quickly and may not need to wear the collar for a long term. Other dogs may associate not barking with the collar, and will only control their barking while wearing the collar. It will be necessary to remain consistent with the use of the collar, placing it on your dog when you expect him to be quiet.

Power Requirements: The Spray Bark collar is powered by a Lithiu-Ion rechargeable battery. With a full charge, the battery will average appoximately 40 hours, depending upon how much your dog barks. A Low Battery indicator light will flash when the battery level has reached a weakened state and needs charging.

Precautions: The Spray Bark collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours in a 24-hour period. If the collar is worn for too long, or made too tight, the dog could develop skin damage. You should reposition the collar on the dog's neck every hour or two. You should never attach a leash to the electronic collar as this will cause excessive pressure on the collar. A separate collar should be used with a leash.
