PETSAFE® BRAND LAUNCHES INNOVATIVE NEW BEHAVIOURAL TRAINING PRODUCTS FOR DOGS

Global pet product expert, PetSafe® Brand today announces the launch of two innovative new behavioural products for dogs; the PetSafe® Spray Bark Collar and the PetSafe® Remote Spray Trainer. Both are premium training collars that deliver a light spray to stop unwanted behaviours such as barking or not coming when called.

The PetSafe® Spray Bark Collar, £80.99, €89.99 features innovative bark detection technology which identifies a dog’s barking and distinguishes it from all other noises, so there are no false corrections, even from those of other dogs. The pets’ barking noises trigger a sensor which emits a gentle burst of citronella or unscented spray which distracts them and interrupts the unwanted behaviour. The collar is rechargeable, water-resistant and easy to use with no programming.

The PetSafe® Remote Spray Trainer (300 metre), £161.99, €179.99 is perfect for teaching basic commands or correcting unwanted behaviours and features tone, vibration and spray training options to accommodate each pet’s individual training needs. The waterproof, rechargeable system can be used to teach basic commands including walking without a lead and recall or help manage behaviours such as jumping or digging. Activated by a handheld remote, the collar includes a range of 300 metres for training at longer distances.

Both the PetSafe® Spray Bark Collar and PetSafe® Remote Spray Trainer are equipped with a convenient, recyclable and easy-to-use citronella and unscented spray refill cartridges, which no other collar on the market offers. Each refill has 35-40 sprays per cartridge and can be bought separately for £13.49 or €14.99. Citronella is a unique scent that most dogs do not normally encounter and both spray options are safe.

Additionally, PetSafe® Brand has also launched a new Entry Level Bark Collar, £62.99, €69.99 which also helps to reduce unwanted barking. Featuring 15 levels of static stimulation, the adjustable nylon collar begins with low-level stimulations and then if excessive barking continues, the stimulation intensity increases with each successive bark until the barking stops. Once the dog has learned to reduce the barking, the initial warning stimulations are reduced. As a built-in safety feature, if a dog barks 15 times or more within a one minute and 20 second period, the bark collar automatically shuts off for three minutes.

Rob Steele, PetSafe® Brand Marketing Manager said: “Every pet is unique and these new collars enable pet owners to make the best choice based on their needs and their dog’s temperament. Training solutions continue to form the core of our product range and we’re excited to be able to share these new additions with consumers - they showcase the very latest technological developments in the training space and underline our commitment to enhancing the relationship between owners and their pets.”

All three products are available to consumers this month from the PetSafe® Brand website and other selected retailers.
