Using the BarkLimiter Feature on Your System
BarkLimiter™ technology detects bark signals through vibration and movement from the dog's throat and/or head. This greatly reduces the chance of false corrections from external vibrations such as paw scratching and scraping against external surfaces like floor tile, water bowls, or dog tags. Your pet will not receive false corrections from the barking of a nearby dog, other dogs in the neighborhood, the kennel, or doggy daycare.
Training Features
Collars that support the BarkLimiter function have various training features depending on the system. The three training features are Autorise, vibrate, and a set stimulation level.
Autorise
Autorise
Autorise Bark correction is a standard feature of many Garmin BarkLimiter dog devices. The Autorise mode is designed to automatically increase the electronic stimulation to the correct level that limits excessive barking. All devices that have an Autorise bark correction feature have a panic guard.
When a dog barks, it will be corrected with electronic stimulation (no warning tone or vibration). NOTE: There can be a few free barks allowed before the system starts correcting.
It will deliver only one correction every 3-5 seconds to give the dog a chance to respond.
If the dog continues to bark, the level automatically increases every four seconds reaching the highest stimulation level within 30 seconds.
The highest level of stimulation will vary by device.
Two to five minutes after the dog stops barking, the system will reduce the stimulation to half of what previously stopped the dog.
If the dog starts barking again, it starts from that lower level and increases as the dog continues to bark.
This ensures the dog is corrected at the right level more quickly the next time.
Should the dog refrain from barking completely, the device will slowly decrease the stimulation level reaching the lowest level within 30 minutes.
When the device is turned off, the level is reset to the lowest level.
Panic Guard
If the collar is unable to stop the barking behavior after 30-40 seconds at the highest level of stimulation, the collar will go into Panic Guard. This will stop all correction for 2 minutes to allow the dog time to calm down. The panic guard timer will reset if any bark is detecting in the 2 minutes. No barks are corrected while in panic guard. Panic guard is only enabled when using Autorise.
NOTE: Panic Guard does not work for set stimulation level correction or the vibrate correction; this is only a feature built-in with Autorise.
Vibrate
Vibrate
Vibrate is a standard feature on many Garmin bark-limiting dog devices. The Vibrate mode is designed to automatically vibrate as a correction when the dog barks. This correction is applied once every 2-5 seconds with continuous barking.
Set Stimulation Level
Set Stimulation Level
On bark correction collars, you can set a stimulation level that the dog will be corrected at when it barks. The highest level for bark correction will vary by device. When using the set stimulation level the dog will be corrected once every 3-5 seconds through continuous barking until the barking stops. The highest level of stimulation will vary by device.
