BarkSense™ No-Shock Bark Collar — Beep & Vibration Only, Remote Included

No. The BarkSense we sell is a beep-and-vibration collar: it has no static or shock function, in any setting. Some collars that look similar online include a shock button; ours is the vibration-only version, and that's what you'll find in the box.

It's designed to do the opposite: warn before anything else happens. Start with the beep alone, then the lowest vibration level he notices, and praise him the moment he's quiet. Fit it right (two fingers under the strap), no more than 12 hours a day, and check his skin. If your dog is very fearful or noise-sensitive, ask your vet or a behaviorist before using any collar.

We won't promise a number of days. Some dogs connect the beep with "that's enough" within the first week; others take a few weeks; barking that comes from fear or distress needs a professional, not a collar. That's why you get 30 days to judge it at home.

Probably not, and we'd rather tell you now. Barking, howling or chewing that starts when you leave is often separation anxiety, and correcting a distressed dog can make it worse. Talk to your vet or a certified behaviorist. BarkSense is for the doorbell bark, the delivery-truck bark, the dog-next-door bark: the moments you're there to give the warning and praise the quiet.

Many of the best-selling remote collars have "shock collar" in their name, and some can shock in automatic mode. The cheap no-shock ones usually have no remote. BarkSense is beep and vibration only, with a remote, a warn-first routine you can follow from day one, a 30-day guarantee, a 12-month warranty and U.S. support.

They're established brands, and many dogs do fine with them. But their best-known bark collars are static correction at $85–110, with no remote (Dogtra's YS300 does start with a vibration, then moves to static). If you want the warning without the shock, and a remote for walks, BarkSense costs less and does exactly that. Prices as listed in October 2026.

You hold the remote, so the warning happens when you decide, not when a microphone guesses. That's the whole point of a warning: he can only learn from a signal that arrives at the right moment.

The strap is adjustable and fits most dogs from about 10 lb up. The contact points need to touch the skin, with two fingers' room under the strap; on a thick coat, work them through the fur to the skin. Not for puppies under 6 months.

The collar is water-resistant: rain, wet grass and muddy walks are fine; take it off for swimming. The remote is splash-resistant only. Range is rated by the manufacturer for open terrain; walls, trees and hills shorten it a lot, but in a house or yard you won't come close to the limit.

We haven't found any U.S. federal, state or city ban on beep or vibration collars. Your HOA or lease may have its own rules on pets, so check those. And only ever use it on your own dog.

Both the collar and the remote are rechargeable with the included cable from any standard USB wall adapter or laptop port. Charge both fully before the first use; battery life depends on how often you use the signals.

You're covered by the 30-Day Quiet Home Guarantee: if your home isn't quieter within 30 days of delivery, send it back for a full refund. Every BarkSense also has a 12-month warranty and U.S. support. Email support@jarretthome.com or call (607) 414-8659; there's also a contact form beside these questions.
