When a barking dog is in the area, an internal microphone picks up the sound and the device automatically emits ultrasonic sounds. Surprised by the high-pitched sound, the dog should stop barking. Over time, the dog will associate its barking with this unpleasant sound. When the dog stops barking, the ultrasound emission also ceases. The device is effective up to 8 meters away. It helps train pets to end excessive barking, and dogs will soon associate their behavior with the ultrasonic stimulation. The PetSafe Ultrasonic Indoor Bark Control uses high pitch, ultrasonic stimulation to distract dogs from their urge to bark, safely and effectively silencing nuisance barking within an 8-meter range. Featuring an internal microphone, it accurately detects each bark, automatically emitting the high pitch tonal stimulation. The high-pitch ultrasonic stimulation can be exclusively heard by dogs, going unnoticed by owners, providing pet parents with a subtle yet effective training tool. The PetSafe Ultrasonic Indoor Bark Control includes a 3-year manufacturer's warranty. It automatically deters excessive barking, requires no collar, and can be freestanding or attached to doors, windows, tables, etc. It is suitable for dogs of any size and uses ultrasonic sound only your dog can hear.
This PetSafe Ultrasonic Indoor Bark Control is designed for pet owners struggling with nuisance barking in their homes. It offers a collar-free, humane solution by emitting a safe, high-frequency sound that only dogs can hear when they bark excessively. While effective for many dogs, its success can vary based on individual dog temperament and the specific barking triggers.

Troubleshooting
Device is not activating when the dog barks.
Ensure the device is plugged in and the microphone is not obstructed. Verify the device is within 8 meters of the dog and has a clear line of sight.
The dog does not seem to react to the ultrasonic sound.
Confirm the dog has normal hearing. Try repositioning the device closer to the dog or experiment with different placements. Some dogs may require longer periods of exposure or may not be responsive.
Device is activating unintentionally by other sounds.
Ensure the device is not placed near other noise sources like TVs or radios. Adjust the placement to better isolate the dog's barking.
The dog continues to bark despite the ultrasonic sound.
This may indicate the dog is not deterred by the sound or is barking due to reasons beyond nuisance barking (e.g., anxiety, fear). Consult a professional trainer or veterinarian for alternative solutions.
