Hush Bark™ SmartBark Collar

The adjustable reflective nylon strap is designed to fit small, medium, and large dogs weighing between 8 lbs and 120 lbs (3.6 kg to 54 kg). Ensure your dog is at least 6 months old before beginning collar-assisted training, and adjust the sliding buckle so the receiver rests comfortably at the throat.

No. Hush Bark uses a smart vocal-cord vibration and acoustic sensor that rests against your dog's neck. Because it requires both physical throat vibration and the sound of a bark simultaneously, background household noise, doorbells, and other dogs barking nearby will never cause confusing false triggers. That dual-check design is especially helpful in multi-dog homes where dogs play together in the same living room.

Start at level 4 when you first fit the collar. If your dog has a very booming bark or you are training outdoors in a breezy yard, step down to levels 2 or 3. If your dog has a softer bark or quiet whine indoors that does not trigger level 4, tap the cycle button up to levels 6, 7, or 8.

Pressing the 'M' button cycles through 4 customizable training modes combining audible sound tones and haptic vibration feedback. Every active mode is displayed with bright color-coded icons right on the digital LED screen so you always know which training setting is currently active before fitting the collar. You can test and preview the selected mode before placing the collar on your dog so you feel confident in the setup.

Adjust the strap so the digital receiver sits centered at the front of your dog's throat and you can comfortably slide one flat finger between the strap and your dog's neck. A snug fit ensures reliable vocal-cord detection without chafing, pinching, or sliding loose when your dog moves around. Check the fit weekly on growing dogs and brush long coat hair aside so the sensor rests gently against the throat.

Use Hush Bark during supervised training windows or peak barking times (such as daytime work hours or evening walks), and remove the collar after 8 to 10 hours of wear—and always take it off overnight—to keep your dog's neck skin healthy, clean, and comfortable. Giving your dog's neck a rest overnight ensures the collar remains a positive, comfortable part of their daytime routine.

No. Hush Bark has a built-in USB rechargeable lithium battery with a 4-bar battery meter on the LED display. Plug the included charging cable into any standard USB port, laptop, or wall adapter for a couple of hours to enjoy days of reliable standby training power. Because there are no coin batteries to buy or replace, the sealed charging port keeps maintenance simple and cost-free.

Once you select your desired training mode and 1–8 sensitivity level, the front control panel locks and illuminates the red padlock icon on the LED screen. This prevents accidental button presses while your dog plays, rolls on the carpet, or scratches at their collar. To unlock the screen when you want to change levels, simply press the power button briefly until the lock icon clears.

No. Hush Bark is a dedicated training collar and should never be used as a tie-out or leash restraint. Always clip your walking leash to a separate flat collar or body harness so leash tension does not press the receiver module against your dog's windpipe. Using a separate walking harness for leash control keeps the training receiver centered and comfortable on every stroll.
