7. Frequently Asked Questions Will the No-Bark Collar be effective on my dog? • There are many reasons for excessive barking - your dog may be lonely, hungry, cold or hot or simply alerting you to people or animals on your property. The No-Bark Collar is best used on dogs whose needs are well fulfilled and bark excessively at everything that moves. • The No-Bark Collar may not work on dogs that have hearing problems or are suffering from hearing loss. Will the barking from another dog trigger the sensor on the No-Bark Collar? • No. The sensor will trigger only when the vibration of the vocal chords matches the barking sound. Will the ultrasonic sound from the No-Bark Collar affect other dogs? • Yes. Other dogs within the hearing range may be affected by the ultrasonic sound. Is the No-Bark Collar appropriate and humane? • Yes. The No-Bark Collar is designed to get your dog's attention, not to punish it. However, the initial ultrasonic correction may startle your dog. What is meant by ultrasonic sound? • Humans can only hear sounds at a frequency up to a maximum of 20kHz, whereas dogs can hear up to 60kHz. As such, dogs are sensitive to certain sounds that are undetectable to us. The ultrasonic sound waves released by our No-Bark Collar are at frequencies that are audible by dogs. Will my dog stop barking completely? • No. The No-Bark Collar was specifically designed to reduce or discourage excessive barking behaviour, but not eliminate barking all together. 16 Frequently Asked Questions
