HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
The SportDOG Brand® SBC-R Bark Control Collar has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for dogs over
8 lbs. The Bark Control Collar uses digital technology to provide the most reliable bark detection available. Three
user-selectable modes allow you to choose how corrections are delivered:
1. In Temperament Learning mode, the correction starts at the lowest level (1) and increases
to the next level each time your dog barks within 30 seconds of the previous bark. The collar
remembers the correction level needed to stop your dog’s barking. The next time your dog
starts barking, the correction will start at the last/highest level used. The static stimulation
level will be reduced 30 seconds after your dog stops barking.
2. In Progressive Correction mode, the correction starts at the lowest level (1) and increases to the
next level each time your dog barks within 30 seconds of the previous bark. If your dog does not
bark again within 30 seconds, the correction will reset to the lowest level (1).
3. In User-Selected mode, you manually choose the correction level. If your dog barks, the collar
will correct him at the level you’ve selected until he stops barking.
NOTE: As a built-in safety feature, if your dog barks 15 times or more within an 80 second period, the SBC-R will
automatically stop issuing static stimulation for 30 seconds and then resume normal operation. This safety feature
is active in all three modes of operation.
