How the Guardian
Outdoor Bark Control Works
When the Outdoor Bark Control is within range of a barking dog, an internal microphone
picks up the sound and the unit is automatically activated. The Guardian
Control emits an ultrasonic sound. The ultrasonic sound can be heard by dogs but is silent
to humans. Startled by the high-pitched sound that is safe and effective, the dog should stop
barking, as it will associate its bark with this unpleasant noise. When the dog stops barking the
ultrasonic sound also stops. The Guardian Outdoor Bark Control has 3 sensitivity levels to
choose from that indicate what barking level activates the unit and a test mode. It is effective
up to 50 feet.
Note: If the dog is deaf or hearing impaired, he may not react to the Outdoor Bark Control.
Caution: Humans cannot hear the ultrasonic sound, however precautions should be taken
when preparing the Outdoor Bark Control for use.
• Keep at arms length away from the human ear to avoid hearing damage if a dog begins
barking while you are setting up, mounting or hanging the Outdoor Bark Control.
• Humans should also avoid standing very close to the Outdoor Bark Control when it is on.
• Not for use by children.
• This device is intended for use only with dogs. Never attempt to use it for any purpose not
described in this manual.
