Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 http://www.safehomeproducts.com/SHP2/ES/BARK_FREE.ASP?PLC=1 & GFM=24 & b=ie5c & w=1007\ & h=696 & f=N & tp=164 & frompg=211 & topg=211 & menupage=6 Bark Stop, A Barking Dog Training Device ES-VT-BC06 A Sonic or Ultrasonic Corrector for Barking Dogs Stop Barking Dogs In House or Yards with Bark Stop. Bark Stop helps prevent barking from your dog or your neighbor's dog (if line-of-sight is possible). An ultrasonic training device, BarkStop improves upon the Lentek Barkfree, which is no longer made. Bark Stop does NOT inflict pain or harm on a noisy dog. Instead Bark Stop sits on a table or the counter or mounts outdoors. The BarkStop has twin dual piezo-ceramic transducers. Its specially designed speaker picks up a dog's bark and then sends out a corrective tone to keep Fido from waking you up or the neighbors. Persistent barking and bad behavior in dogs is often difficult to cure. Bark Stop is a humane and effective way to help teach your dog to curb barking behavioral problems. HOW DOES BARK FREE BARK STOP WORK? Bark Stop is automatic: turns on when barking starts; turns off when barking ends. " Bark Pickup Sensitivity Adjustment Selector " can be sets to a lower or higher level of barking to help eliminate false readings. " Audible Sound Selector " is designed to help you determine the best sound frequency for preventing barking with your dog (or your neighbor's). Set sound selector for high ultrasonic frequencies or lower tones audible also to human ears. Both ultrasonic and audible sounds have been proven effective in controlling barking dogs. WHERE DO I MOUNT THE BARK STOP? HEIGHT: Mount slightly above the dog's head level, facing the dog, in a line-of-sight mounting. (Sound waves do not go through solid objects like wooden fences or concrete walls.) DISTANCE FROM DOG: Mount Bark Stop no more than 35 feet from your dog. WARNING: Keep Bark Stop unit and extension cords out of dogs' reach so the bark free unit will not be damaged. OUTDOORS USE: Place in protected location from wind and rain. BarkStop is weather resistent but not waterproof. WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT? Nothing is a 100% cure for barking problems. Reduced barking should be evident within 7 to 14 days. especially in the amount of barking at night. If barking persists, your dog may have a more serious problem than nuisance and boredom barking. Many dogs require a 4 to 6 week training period. One recent customer reported that her very large, very smart purebred dogs barked louder and longer for two weeks before responding to the Stop Bark. NOTE: Bark Stop or similar devices have a lower success rate with Schnauzers and Yorkies. (Per our customers' experience.) Bark Stop can be used as a reinforcement after implementing other options for nuisance barking reduction such as traditional intensive, repetitive training by owner with or without Dog Off or Pet Agree (manually activated ultrasonic trainer); citronella collars, shock collars; and/or surgery to clip vocal cords. Other Severe Problem Barking Situations Include: Protective Barking: At trespassers, people knocking at your door, or neighbors who tease or threaten or when believe owner is in danger. (Ex. " Water shy " Schnauzer barks anxiously when owner swims in backyard pool.) Dogs Conditioned to Bark: Dogs inadvertently been trained to bark by receiving attention (either positive or negative) for barking. Feeding Time: Disconnect Bark Stop when feeding dog(s). Removing one dog (to walk) and leaving others behind: get out of sight quickly. Hearing Problems: Deaf dogs will not react to Bark Stop. Dogs with high frequency hearing damage may react to the audible setting. (You will be able to hear it.) Chronic Barking: A few dogs are either mentally unstable or hyperactive. Vocal cord surgery and medication have been standard treatment. High Stress Environments: Bark Stop is not recommended for general use in boarding kennels, animal shelters and grooming salons. These locations generate protective and fear barking. Use only during non-visiting hours. Specifications: Dimensions: 4 " x 7 " x 3 " Coverage: Up to a 35 ft.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 A nuisance barking dog is (in almost every case) easily re-trainable with a little understanding of pack dog mentality, passive and active dominance, and separation anxiety. Almost all barkers are due to the dog being concerned - either anxious as it is not sure if it is safe - or anxious because its owner has left. If it is the latter, this demonstrates that the dog does not see the owner as a pack leader. Pack leaders are allowed to leave the pack - other dogs are not. If other dogs do leave the pack, other pack members will bark until they return. Therefore it follows that if your dog recognises you as the leader they will be perfectly calm about you leaving. Also many owners reinforce barking unintentionally by one of 2 ways: 1 Giving in and letting the dog in so it will stop disturbing the neighbours. Even if you yell and berate the dog at the same time - in doing this you have told it that when it barks it can come in. 2 Going out the dog and shouting / striking / any kind of interaction. An anxious or unstable dog will take any kind of attention as good attention - even striking. They dont want to be alone. So by going out - they have trained you to come when they call. These collar devices - whilst they might be a massive improvement on debarking - do not address the dogs mental state or try to fix it. It is the usual " Quick fix " that most people want with pets. Again i stand by my previous comment - if people are not able to cope with a dogs natural behaviour and encourage good natural behaviour - then they should not have a dog. They should get a picture of a dog On 1/28/06, wrote: > > > http://www.safehomeproducts.com/SHP2/ES/BARK_FREE.ASP?PLC=1 & GFM=24 & b=ie5c & w=1007\ & h=696 & f=N & tp=164 & frompg=211 & topg=211 & menupage=6 > Bark Stop, A Barking Dog Training Device ES-VT-BC06 > A Sonic or Ultrasonic Corrector for Barking Dogs > > Stop Barking Dogs In House or Yards with Bark Stop. > Bark Stop helps prevent barking from your dog or your neighbor's dog > (if line-of-sight is possible).
