Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Is the dog's barking driving you batty? Maybe it's time for Petsafe's UltraLight Sonic Bark Control Collar. Whenever the dog begins to bark continuously, the UltraLight emits an ultrasonic whistle harmless to the dog's ears and inaudible to humans. The whistle distracts the pooch from his most committed barking fit, and keeps it from resuming. The system adjusts to your dog's unique bark pattern. Weighing just 1 ounce and measuring less than 2 cubic inches, the unit attaches to your dog's favorite collar, so there's no need for a second collar. With no electronic stimulation to startle your canine buddy, the collar attachment is great for small or nervous dogs. The purchase includes a receiver that attaches to inch-wide or smaller, non-metallic collars, operation and training manuals that help you understand why dogs bark, and 6-volt battery. Petsafe covers this collar with a limited lifetime warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful product!, March 11, 2006

This review is from: Petsafe PUSB-300 UltraLight Sonic Bark Collar Attachment (Misc.)

This collar is not at all what I expected, obviously, and here's why. First of all, the sound the collar makes to "distract" my dog from his barking, is audible to humans as well. It's not even that high pitched of a tone, so it very rarely distracts him. And the collar activates when he's running down stairs or yawning, but not when he's actually barking or growling. This seems to confuse him more than anything. Lastly, the device takes only its own kind of battery and you have to replace it monthly. I highly suggest looking into different products for bark control.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great idea in theory, lousy results in practice., December 2, 2007

By	bearie "bearie" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Petsafe PUSB-300 UltraLight Sonic Bark Collar Attachment (Misc.)

I've pretty much tried everything to stop my 6 month poodle from incessant whining. Group lessons, private lessons, positive enforcement, ignoring whining in the crate, banging, etc. The problem is my puppy is overly attached to people, and "overly socialized" where he's not afraid of any sound (not afraid of cars, motorcycles, etc). The whining creates a lot of strains with my neighbors and at my workplace and something got to be done about it.

I bought this device from Petsmart hoping it would work. Nope. Sound simply doesn't work on a puppy who is not afraid of sound or anything else. This device would work well on fearful dogs but not mine which has been "overly socialized." I also tried the top of the line shock collar. No cigar. These devices simply create more anxiety and escalates whining. Good thing Petsmart has a good return policy and I got my money back.

Fortunately, the Gentle Spray Bark Control device works instantly. He hates the smell and the surprise; the moment the spray activates, he stops whining. In contrast, the Petsafe beeper would beep along with the whining, which is really annoying.

Shock and sound are a thing in the past. The most effective tool is the citronella spray (e.g. Gentle Spray).

By	Sarah J. Galle "LoganStudent" (StL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is lightweight, and it does seem to be helping my dog to bark less. There are a couple of pitfalls: on the low setting it sometimes doesn't pick up my dog's bark, but on the high setting it is set off by his movements, which has proved to be confusing for him during the learning process. Also, and this is no doubt my own fault for assumming, but I sort of thought the incredibly high-pitched noise wouldn't be audible to humans. Well, it is, and wow...it's every bit as annoying as the bark!

Take it or leave it, it's an okay product.
