The PetSafe Lite Rechargeable Bark Collar PBC17-16447 is designed for dogs weighing between 4kg and 12kg to control nuisance barking. Its smaller size and lower static stimulation levels make it suitable for smaller dogs. The collar is activated by vibration and has 15 levels that automatically increase.

How the PBC17-16447 Lite Rechargeable Bark Collar Works

Activation Type

This bark collar is vibration-activated, meaning that the collar module picks up on your dog’s barking vibrations. It then delivers a safe static stimulation through the contact probes. The collar has 15 levels, and features temperament learning programming.

Temperament Learning Programming

Temperament learning is an automatic function that determines the best level for your dog.

When you first use the collar, it will be set to the lowest level (level 1). If your dog barks within 30 seconds of the previous bark, the collar automatically increases to level 2. If your dog barks again within 30 seconds of the previous bark, the collar increases to level 3 and so on until it reaches a level that stops your dog’s barking.

After 30 seconds of silence, the collar drops down one level from the most recently used level. If your dog resumes barking anytime after 30 seconds, the collar automatically delivers a stimulation at that level. If your dog begins another barking cycle, the collar continues to increase one level at a time until your dog stops barking.

Automatic Safety Shut Off

If your dog barks 15 times within 1 minute, the bark collar will automatically shut off for 3 minutes to ensure your dog’s safety.

3. Continue holding the button down through the LED and power off tone.
4. Continue holding the button down until the green LED light flashes 5 times.
5. The collar has now been reset to level 1.
6. Release the on/off button, and the bark collar will power off.
