Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the vibrations scare my dog?
A: Nope. The vibrations used by the MaxBarks vest are mild enough that they won’t scare or hurt your pup, but strong enough to refocus their attention and energy.
Q: Can it be worn for long stretches of time?
A: Absolutely! The MaxBarks vest is specifically designed to be comfortable for you little pup to wear all day. Its low profile allows for freedom of movement and the soft, breathable material is easy-wearing.
Q: What if my dog just keeps barking?
A: MaxBarks has persistent barking handled! Unlike traditional anti-barking devices, MaxBarks delivers vibrations to multiple points.
Q: Should I leave the device on while my dog is eating/drinking?
A: The MaxBarks vest is water-resistant and comfortable enough for all-day wear. Feel free to let your dog eat and drink while wearing it.
Q: How does the vest work?
A: The microphone in the vest detects your dog’s barking and only your dog’s barking. It isn’t fooled by other noises. It activates the gentle vibrations to redirect your pup’s attention. If hears persistent barking, it will change the pattern and position of the vibrations.
Q: Does the vest require a battery?
A: The MaxBarks vest has an integrated battery pack; no need to fumble with changing batteries here! Just recharge the vest when the battery is low.
Q: Can the vest be adjusted?
A: The vest’s straps are fully adjustable to fit every small dog shape, from Dachshund to Pug. We also have four sizes. Check out our size chart to get the perfect fit.
Q: How safe is this vest for my pet?
A: Completely safe. Unlike other bark deterrents, we don’t believe in using negative reinforcement. We don’t use electric shocks or painful metal prongs. Our gentle vibrations don’t harm; they simply divert your dog’s attention.
Q: Will another dog’s bark set off the Bark Control Collar?
A: Our microphone is powerful with a short range. It knows when your dog is barking, but won’t activate if other dogs bark.
