PetSafe Hand Held Dog Barking Deterrent

Ultrasonic Pet Trainer Helps Stop Barking

The Ultrasonic Pet Trainer is a small, hand-held device designed to assist you in the training of your dog. Ideal for correcting misbehaviors, it takes advantage of your pet's heightened hearing range in the ultrasonic frequency range, beyond the range of human beings.

The Trainer has only two buttons: Positive Tone for reward, and Ultrasonic Tone for correction. It's that simple!

In addition to dog owners, this has been a popular item with people who exercise outdoors, mail carriers and meter readers to repel unwanted advances from neighborhood dogs.

Product Benefits

• Clarity. The sounds are the same every time and can be distinguished more easily from normal, everyday sounds than a voice because they are at a different frequency. Sends a clear message to your dog each time it is used.
• Dual Action. The Ultrasonic Pet Trainer provides both a reward sound and a correction sound, so it can be used to mark and encourage good behavior, as well as to identify and discourage unwanted behavior.
• Multi-Tasking. The unit is effective in deterring barking, but it can also be used to deter jumping on people, stealing food, and more. Additionally, it will help you reward your dog when you see him do something good, such as stopping at the yard's edge, sitting politely to greet someone, or leaving food he shouldn't have. The unit can help with multiple problems and encourage continued good behavior.
• Flexible. Any one can use it to train - you do not need a gruff, commanding voice, nor is it only effective for the original trainer.
• Convenient. Hand held and easy to transport, so you can use it anywhere, anytime.

Product Disadvantages

• Supervision. The unit requires that someone be there to observe and respond to the dog's behavior. If the dog is barking when you are at work or chewing on objects in the house when you are away, then the product is of limited assistance.
• Timing. The sounds must be linked with the behavior in order to produce the desired results. While modern technology has made improvements on the lag time (time from sending to receiving), it is still necessary to respond quickly to the behavior.
• Sensitivity. Dog owners whose pets tend to overreact have to be careful when using any aversive technique because it might cause the dog to shut down completely. However, the rewarding sounds can be used even with sensitive pets.
