Using the BarkLimiter Feature on a Pro 550 System
BarkLimiter™ bark detection 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.
Enabling BarkLimiter Mode
- Press and hold the power button until the LED light turns blue, then release the power button.
Disabling BarkLimiter Mode
- Press the power button to turn off the collar.
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.
