PetSafe Bark Control Training System PBC-302. Dogs bark. There's no getting around that. But when the barking gets out of control, that's when Petsafe's bark-control training system saves the day. The system distinguishes between barking for self-defense and unnecessary barking, so Fido can protect himself without being a nuisance. Equipped with a vibration sensor, the collar analyzes tremors from the dog's vocal chords, making sure they are caused by barks from the dog wearing the collar and not the neighbor's noisy pooch. If the collar detects nuisance, repetitive barking, an electric-stimulation impulse is sent through probes attached to the collar that brush against the dog's neck. Without you're having to run out the back door to quiet him, Fido quickly learns that nuisance barking is not cool.

Highly versatile, the bark-control mechanism starts with a warning beep that lets the dog know what's ahead if it keeps barking. From there, the system has 6 levels of static correction with increasing intensity. The unit starts at the lowest level and automatically increases until the dog quits barking. The collar automatically shuts off if your dog barks 15 times within 50 seconds, so barking can still be used for self-defense. The collar shuts down for 3 minutes so your canine buddy has time to recoup. Again, with the unit activated only by the wearer's own barking, and not by that of other dogs, the system works great even in neighborhoods full of dogs, in dog kennels, and more.

With Petsafe's keen eye for canine comfort, the adjustable collar fits neck sizes from 6 to 28 inches for pets large and small. No-shock caps let you disable correction without having to remove the collar. The unit weighs just 1-1/2 ounces and includes a 6-volt silver oxide battery. And, a low-battery indicator keeps you and your pet in communication. The purchase is backed by a manufacturer limited lifetime warranty.
