Dogs bark to communicate. If you have a pup that barks from time to time, it’s perfectly normal. There are times, however, when a dog’s barking can become excessive. A dog that’s busy barking away is a dog that isn’t focused on you or your commands, and he or she can end up getting hurt as a result.
One of the best dog care ideas in this situation is to use a bark control device - a training tool that can be used to effectively correct and reduce nuisance barking.
A bark control device senses barking and emits an aversive signal that deters a dog from continuing to bark. Depending on the type of device, the signal is communicated through touch (a static or vibrating sensation), smell (a citronella spray), or sound (ultrasonic tones).
The static collar delivers an annoying static correction to your dog. You can choose the best level of correction yourself or set the device to start at the lowest level and increase proportionally until your dog stops barking.
The vibration collar delivers a random duration of vibration that interrupts the dog’s pattern of barking. This device is activated by a dog’s own bark (not by another dog barking nearby). These are useful tools for multiple dog households.
Spray collars deliver a gentle blast of citronella spray that interrupts barking. Dogs find the spray unpleasant and are gradually conditioned to stop barking.
Ultrasonic bark control devices deliver an unpleasant tone that dogs hear, but most humans cannot. There are two types of ultrasonic devices. The first is a stand-alone device that can be heard by multiple dogs. The second is an ultrasonic collar that is designed to only affect the dog wearing the collar.
In cooperation with PetSafe, the world’s leading manufacturer of such devices, Amazon is now offering huge deals
on bark control and dog training products.
PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Deterrent
Your dog loves your yard. She enjoys playing fetch, chasing the squirrels back into the trees, and racing her shadow to and from your home. Yet, she barks at everything outside and it is driving you crazy. And, when she starts barking, it gets all the neighbors’ dog’s barking. Thus, the endless barking cycle begins. You and everyone in the neighborhood are losing sleep from the pets’ conversations all night long. You need a bark control solution, and the PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Deterrent is just the one for you!
How It Works
When a dog barks within the 50-foot range of the Outdoor Bark Control Deterrent, an internal microphone picks up the sound and activates the unit.
It emits an ultrasonic sound. Most humans will not be able to hear this tone, but it can be easily heard by dogs. Startled by the high-pitched sound, which is safe and effective for dogs of all sizes and breeds, the dogs barking will be deterred. Dogs will soon associate their barking with the unpleasant tone and will remain quiet to avoid the sound. When the dog stops barking, the ultrasonic sound also stops.
The Outdoor Bark Control has three range levels to choose from, which indicate what distance the barking will activate the unit. The test mode will ensure the microphone and speaker is working. Low Range will protect up to 15 feet, and Medium Range will double that measurement to 30 feet. The Range will maximize the unit to 50 feet. You can use the device to deter your barking dog or your neighbor’s dog. With its unique birdhouse disguise, your visitors and neighbors will never know what you are using it for.
Highlights
- Uses high-frequency ultrasonic sound to disrupt nuisance barking
- Works on all dogs within hearing range
- Ultrasonic sound projects in a cone shape of about 180 degrees in front of the speaker
- Range up to 50 feet
- Sound sensor detects the bark
- Durable and weatherproof
PetSafe Bark Collar
You are so thankful for the unconditional love and companionship your dog brings into your world, but the volume level has been steadily increasing, and you aren’t a fan. If he seems to always have something to say and barks nonstop, the Bark Control Collar corrects the behavior with a static correction, meant to startle and not harm. With the PetSafe Deluxe Bark Control Collar, PDBC-300, you choose the modes and levels that work for your pet. If the barking continues, you can even set the collar to increase a level with each bark until the behavior is stopped. If you are in desperate need of peace and quiet, the Deluxe Bark Control Collar can help your dog give it to you.
How It Works
The Deluxe Bark Control Collar helps you train your dog and assist in controlling his barking habits. This collar uses patented Perfect Bark Technology to detect your dog’s bark through vibration and sound sensors to ensure that only your dog’s bark causes a correction. When detected, the collar begins on the lowest level of correction within the mode (low, medium, high) that you chose for your dog. If he continues to bark, the collar increases one level each time he barks within 30 seconds of the previous bark. Each correction mode has six levels. If your dog does not bark within 30 seconds, the Deluxe Bark Control Collar will reset itself to the lowest level of correction in the selected mode. Your dog will soon associate his bark with the correction and begin to change his barking behavior.
Highlights
- Patented Perfect Bark Technology uses sound and vibration sensors to detect your dog’s bark
- Features 18 adjustable levels of static correction to find the perfect fit for your dog
- 3 correction modes, each with 6 levels of static correction
- Automatic safety shut-off; correction stops after 30 seconds

REMOTE TRAINERS
Wireless communication has become common in our lives. Now you can communicate with your dog in a tech-savvy way, as well. Your dog wears the receiver collar and you manage the hand-held remote. When the button is pushed on the remote, a signal is delivered to the collar that communicates to our dog through sound, smell, or touch.
Static remote trainers communicate through touch. They deliver a sensation that is meant to be aversive enough for your pet to notice and respond without it being painful or too concerning.
All PetSafe remote trainers also have tones. The sounds can be used to mark or identify wanted behavior or to signal that a correction is about to happen for undesirable behavior. Many dogs learn quickly to respond to the tones, allowing you to fade out the static reinforcement.
Spray remote trainers deliver a burst of citronella spray toward your dog’s muzzle. They are designed to interrupt and/or correct unwanted behaviors. For most dogs, the spray is startling or annoying enough to deter the behavior.
Vibration trainers communicate with your dog through touch. They deliver variable levels of vibration that are comparable to a pager. Some dogs find this sensation to be very startling. In this case, a vibration trainer might be a useful correction for your dog to deter him from unwanted behavior such as digging.
Ultrasonic remote trainers take advantage of your pet’s sensitive hearing with a sound that is beyond the range of humans. They are designed to interrupt and/or correct unwanted behaviors.
