PetSafe Spray Bark Collar
Spray bark collar with dual sound and vibration detection — no static, no batteries, two scent options
The PetSafe Spray Bark Collar corrects barking with a burst of spray rather than static stimulation. When your dog barks, dual detection technology reads both the sound of the bark and the vibration of the vocal cords simultaneously — both must be present before the collar fires. This means a passing car, a neighbor’s dog, or a door slamming will not trigger a spray. The collar includes one citronella cartridge and one unscented cartridge so you can test which scent your dog responds to better. Each cartridge delivers approximately 35 sprays before needing replacement.
The collar is rechargeable via USB — no batteries to replace. A full charge takes 2 hours and lasts up to 40 hours of use. LED indicators on the collar alert you when the battery is low (red) and when the spray cartridge is running low (yellow), so you’re not caught off guard. Water-resistant construction makes it suitable for outdoor use and rainy day walks. Fits dogs 8 lbs. and up with neck sizes up to 27”.
Citronella vs. unscented — which one to use
Both cartridges are included so you can find out which works better for your dog without buying anything additional. Citronella is the more commonly effective option — it’s a scent most dogs find distinctly unpleasant and it tends to produce a faster association between barking and the correction. Unscented works on dogs that seem indifferent to the citronella smell, or for owners who prefer not to have the citronella scent around the house. Start with citronella and switch to unscented only if you’re not seeing results after a week or two of consistent use.
Replacement cartridges are available in citronella 3-packs and unscented 3-packs. Each cartridge is recyclable and snaps in and out without tools.
Safety shutoff. If your dog barks 15 or more times in a short period, the collar automatically pauses corrections for 3 minutes before resuming normal operation. This prevents the collar from continuously firing during an extended barking episode and gives the dog a break. The collar is also not intended for use on aggressive dogs — see the product manual for the full safety guidelines.
