Features
• Automatically corrects excessive barking
• Activated automatically or manually
• No receiver collar needed
• Detects barks up to 25 feet away
How It Works
When the Indoor Bark Control unit 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 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 25 feet.
You may also use the Indoor Bark Control unit as a remote trainer. When
your pet exhibits inappropriate behavior, press the manual control button
on top of the unit to emit an ultrasonic tone. The dog should be startled by
the high-pitched tone and stop his poor behavior.
Note: If the dog is deaf or hearing impaired, he may not react to the Indoor Bark Control.
Caution: Humans cannot hear the ultrasonic sound; however,
precautions should be taken when using the Indoor Bark Control.
• Humans should also avoid standing very close to the Indoor Bark
Control when it is operational.
• Not for use by children.
• This device is intended for use only with dogs. Never attempt to
use it for any purpose not described in this manual.
• All pets in hearing range will be affected by the ultrasonic tone.
• Never use the PetSafe® Indoor Bark Control to correct or
eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. We recommend
you contact your local veterinarian or professional trainer to
determine if your pet might be aggressive.
• For best results, use indoors. For helping an outdoor dog with a
barking problem, please visit www.petsafe.net for information
on PetSafe Outdoor Bark Control products or call our Customer
Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.

The PetSafe® Indoor Bark Control should be placed facing the dog,
within a range not to exceed 25 feet. For best results, the area between the

included).
2. The battery door is located on the back of the unit. Pull the battery
door open.

Battery Life
Average battery life is 2 months, depending on how often the dog barks.
To conserve battery life, remove the battery when the Indoor Bark
Control is not in use.
_________________________________________
LED
The LED indicator will alert you of low battery status. The LED will
flash red once every 6 seconds.
_________________________________________
What to Expect During Use of the
Indoor Bark Control
Place the PetSafe® Indoor Bark Control within 25 feet or less of the
dog. When the microphone picks up the constant bark of the dog, it will
emit a 2-second high-pitched ultrasonic tone. While the tone cannot be
heard by humans, it should startle the dog. 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 2 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 family’s relationship with
your pet. Please visit www.petsafe.net to view other customized solutions to
the problem of too much barking.
_________________________________________
Eliminating Unwanted Behavior
To eliminate other unwanted behavior (i.e. jumping on furniture), the
manual activation function can be used.
As soon as your pet begins the earliest sign of misbehavior, press the manual
control button. For example, if you want to teach your dog to stay off the
couch, press the button as soon as he puts one paw on the seat. Do not wait
until he is completely on the couch.
www.petsafe.net 5
1. Hold the manual button for up to 2 seconds, releasing the button as soon
as your pet stops the misbehavior.
2. If your pet has not stopped the misbehavior after 2 seconds of correction,
release the manual button; then press it again for up to 2 seconds.
3. Continue this sequence until the misbehavior has stopped.
4. Once the misbehavior has stopped, reward your pet with praise.

Regular Maintenance
• Remove the battery before cleaning.
• Clean the PetSafe Indoor Bark Control with a damp cloth.
• Do not use any kind of spray chemicals or solvent to clean.
• Do not immerse 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 will resume working properly.
