3. Adjust the Bark Sensitivity Dial
Note:
Try to find a relatively quiet environment to perform this step so that sounds other than barking won’t activate the unit.
The sounds emitted by the Bark Control Pro will not penetrate solid barriers such as walls, ceilings, windows or solid fences. Make sure
to place the unit so that it isn’t obstructed by any solid barriers.
This is not a volume dial.
Instead it adjusts the unit’s
sensitivity to dog barking.
Do not turn it “Hi” unless the
dog is very far away or if you
want the unit to activate to
almost any sound!
Turn the dial until it is a quarter turn above “Lo”. Please do not
turn the dial the way to “Lo” – at that setting, it will not detect
barking at all.
Wait for the dog to bark naturally (do not force it to bark) and
observe whether the unit has activated.
If the unit didn’t activate, turn the dial upwards by a quarter
turn and try again.
Repeat this process until the Bark Control Pro produces
sound every time the dog barks.
Optimal Bark Sensitivity:
The optimal sensitivity setting depends on many factors, including how close the Bark Control Pro is to the
dog. The farther away the device is from the barking, the higher the sensitivity will likely need to be and vice versa.
Large Dogs
: Some larger dogs may respond better to the Audio frequency while smaller dogs may respond better to the Ultra setting.
Responses vary greatly between dogs. We recommend always starting with the Ultra mode and adjusting from there.
Dogs with Hearing Loss:
Dogs that are deaf will not be able to hear the Bark Control Pro. Dogs with high frequency hearing loss may
be able to hear the “Audio” setting.
4. Choose the Sound Setting
If you want to hear the unit activate,
leave the switch set to
Audio
.
When a dog barks, the unit will emit
sound in both audible and ultrasonic.
OR
Move the switch to
Ultra
if you only
want the dog to hear the sound.
When a dog barks, the unit will emit
ultrasonic sound.
This setting is recommended for
neighbor’s dogs or indoor
installations.
When the unit has been activated by
barking, the
LED Lights
will blink to
indicate the type of sound emitted.
Both lights (red and green) will turn on
when the unit is set to
Audio,
while only
the green LED Light will blink when set
to
Ultra.
