How It Works

When the Indoor Bark Control 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 most 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.

Note: If the dog is deaf or hearing impaired, he may not react to the Indoor Bark Control.

Key Definitions

Microphone: Detects barking.
Two Color LED: Lights whenever the

Control on ( | ) and off ( O ).

Speaker: Produces the ultrasonic tone.

lithium CR2032 batteries.
