Risk of explosion. Do not short circuit, mix old and new batteries, dispose
of in fire, or expose to water. When batteries are stored or disposed, they
must be protected from shorting. Dispose of used batteries properly.
Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this Product if your dog is
aggressive, or if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs
can cause severe injury and even death to their owner and others. If you are unsure whether
this product is appropriate for your dog, please consult your veterinarian or certified trainer.
Humans cannot hear the ultrasonic tone, however, precautions should be
taken when preparing the PetSafe
®
Ultrasonic Bark Control Collar for use.
:
This device is intended for use only with dogs. Never attempt to use it for any purpose not
described in this manual.
:
All pets within hearing range will be affected by the ultrasonic tone.
Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual.
Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight
on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this
condition is commonly known as bed sores.
:
Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
:
When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
:
Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
:
Never connect a lead to the electronic collar.
:
When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
:
Wash the dog’s neck area weekly with a damp cloth.
:
Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
:
If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
:
If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
:
For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet comfortable and safe. You may find after some time that
your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is
important to continue daily checks of the neck area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue
use until the skin has fully healed.
The PetSafe
®
Ultrasonic Bark Control Collar must be used only on healthy dogs. We recommend
that you take your dog to a veterinarian before using the collar if he is not in good health.
The Bark Control Collar is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children. Use it only for its

How the PetSafe® Ultrasonic Bark Control
Collar Works
The PetSafe® Ultrasonic Bark Control Collar effectively deters barking when it is worn. When the
microphone picks up the sound of your dog's bark, the unit emits an ultrasonic tone that can
be heard by your dog, but is silent to most humans. Startled by the high-pitched tone, the dog
should stop barking, as it will associate its bark with this unpleasant noise.
