What to Expect During Use of the Outdoor
Bark Control
Place the PetSafe
®
Outdoor Bark Control within range of the dog with the unit switched
to Low, Medium or High. Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Outdoor 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 two weeks that the
Outdoor 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 relationship with your pet, as well as
cause disruptions in your neighborhood. In some situations this product may become an
aid to barking cessation, and not necessarily a cure. Please visit www.petsafe.net to view
other customized solutions to the problem of too much barking.

microphone it may disrupt the unit’s operation. After the microphone is dry it will resume
working properly.
To Test the Outdoor Bark Control
1. Turn the Mode Switch to TEST.

away from your mouth.
3. In order to trigger the unit, say “Woof” loudly towards the Microphone.
4. The LED light will flash red and there will be an audible sound to indicate that it is
functioning properly.
5. If the Indicator Light does not flash and there is no audible sound, ensure that the
battery is properly installed and/or replace the battery. If the Indicator Light still does not
flash, contact the Customer Care Center.

left in TEST Mode, it can send false signals and may reduce battery life.
