Excessive Barking
Barking is an instinctive behavior for dogs. It is impossible to keep your dog from barking
entirely, but you can teach him be quiet when you give him a command.
Note: This will only be effective when you are at home with your dog.
1. Choose your dog’s Recognition Level.
2. Put your dog in a situation that will tempt him to bark.
3. When your dog begins to bark, press and hold the Top Button (light blue) to deliver Vibration
only, or the Middle Button (medium blue on the PDT00-12894 model) to deliver quick
Vibration followed by controlled Static Stimulation, or the Bottom Button (dark blue on the
PDT00-12894 model) to deliver a quick on/off Static Stimulation followed by controlled Static
Stimulation, and give him the command “Quiet.”
4. Release the button immediately once your dog stops barking and praise him. Note: If a Static
Stimulation button is held up to 12 continuous seconds, the LED will flash rapidly to indicate
a safety time-out. Once released, the button resets to normal functionality.
5. If your dog ignores the Vibration or Static Stimulation and continues to bark, repeat the
process using a higher level of Stimulation.
6. Practice this exercise in different areas using different situations that would cause your dog
to bark.
