This is our automatic citronella bark collar with a spray refill cartridge included in the box — so spray mode works straight away, no separate purchase needed to get started.

How the automatic bark detection works

The collar's built-in sensor detects your dog's bark and responds automatically — no remote, no timing it yourself. In spray mode, the response escalates in steps: the first bark triggers a sound warning; if barking continues, the second bark triggers the citronella spray. If barking still continues, the collar repeats the warning and sprays twice in succession. This step-based approach means your dog gets a warning before the spray, not spray on every single bark.

Modes and sensitivity

A mode button cycles through response types — sound only, vibration only, sound with spray, and combined modes — so you can start gentle and add the spray response only if you need it. A separate sensitivity setting (1–5) controls how easily the collar triggers: lower for noisy households, higher for quiet ones. Setting 0 is a safe test mode, so you can confirm the collar is working — sound, vibration and spray — before it ever goes on your dog.

Refilling the spray

Each fill gives around 25 sprays before the display shows a low-spray warning. To refill: turn the collar off first, then press the refill bottle straight down into the spray inlet and hold for 10–15 seconds before turning the collar back on. Charging is via USB-C, and the collar should only be charged with a standard 5V charger — anything higher can damage the circuit and battery.

Is it right for your dog?

Suitable for dogs aged 6 months and over, weighing 8 lbs or more. It's not suitable for aggressive dogs. Like any bark collar, don't leave it on for more than 12 hours at a stretch, and check your dog's neck weekly for any rash or irritation, cleaning the neck area and the collar's sensor at the same time.

This bundle includes one citronella spray cartridge, so the spray response works straight out of the box — no separate purchase needed.

Common questions

Does this come with a citronella cartridge?

Yes — this bundle includes one citronella spray cartridge, so spray mode works straight away. No separate purchase needed.

Why isn't the collar responding when my dog barks?

Set the sensitivity to 0 (test mode) first to confirm the collar itself is working — it should respond with sound, vibration and spray. If it works in test mode but isn't catching your dog's actual barking, set the sensitivity to 5, the most responsive level, and try again.

Can I use it when my dog is playing with other dogs?

It's not recommended — dogs tend to bark and get excited while playing, which can trigger the collar unnecessarily. Best used during normal daily activity rather than active play sessions.

How do I refill the spray cartridge?

Turn the collar off first. Line the refill bottle up straight with the spray inlet, press it in and hold for 10–15 seconds, then turn the collar back on. Each fill gives roughly 25 sprays.

Is this collar safe to use every day?

Yes, within sensible limits — no more than 12 hours' continuous wear, with a weekly check and clean of your dog's neck and the collar's sensor. The citronella spray is non-toxic and safe for daily use.

Dimensions:

Receiver: 6.5 cm (L) × 3 cm (W) — approx. 2.56″ × 1.18″
Collar is Adjustable up to 63.5 cm (25″)

Charging:

USB Type-C
Approx. 2–3 hours for a full charge
Battery Life Up to 10 days of regular use on a full charge (varies by usage and spray level)

How to Use Your Citronella Bark Control Collar

Charging – Use the included USB Type-C cable. Red light = charging, green light = fully charged.

Sensitivity Adjustment – Press the sensitivity button:

H (Red) – High sensitivity for quiet barks
M (Blue) – Medium for normal barks
L (Green) – Low for loud barks

Spray Level Adjustment – Press spray button:

B (Red) – High spray
M (Blue) – Medium spray
L (Green) – Low spray

Refilling Spray – Turn off device. Press spray can straight into inlet for 10–15s.

Wearing – Position under dog's chin. Ensure one finger fits between collar and neck.

Standby – Green flash = battery OK. Red flash = low battery.

Testing Tips:

Turn on the device and "shout in a row" at the receiving hole on the back.
If it sprays, the device is working.

Suitable for small, medium, and large dogs. Always supervise use.

Worth flagging: this doesn't match the manual I just went through either. It describes a completely different control scheme — a dedicated "sensitivity button" with H/M/L red/blue/green settings and a separate "spray button" with its own B/M/L levels. The manual has one M (mode) button and one power button, with numeric sensitivity 1–5, no colour-coded buttons at all. This metafield looks like it's leftover from an earlier/different collar model, not the current one — I didn't touch it since you only asked about it now, but it's a third, conflicting version of "how the controls work" alongside the live description and the manual. Want me to rewrite it to match what we've now verified?

Collar length — not in the manual I read (it only covers functions, warnings, and refill steps, no dimensions page). But it's already sitting in the Extra Product Information metafield on this product:

Receiver: 6.5 cm (L) × 3 cm (W) — approx. 2.56″ × 1.18″

Collar strap: adjustable up to 63.5 cm (25″)

One caveat: I can't confirm from anything I've verified whether that 25″ figure is for the old collar or genuinely matches the new one — the live standalone listing claims 24-inch strap for the new collar, close but not identical. If it matters for a customer-facing claim, it's worth double-checking against the new collar's own spec sheet rather than trusting either number blindly.

yes i know, i meant create new instruction and i will replace it manually

Here's the replacement, matching the same structure/style as the current one but accurate to the manual:

How to Use Your Automatic Citronella Bark Collar

Charging – Use the included USB Type-C cable, with a standard 5V charger only (a charger above 5V can damage the circuit and battery). Battery bar flashes while charging; stays solid green when fully charged.

Turning On/Off:

Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on.
Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn off.

Mode Button (M) – Press to cycle through response modes:

Sound only
Vibration only
Sound + Spray
Spray only
Combined modes (Spray + Vibration + Sound)

Sensitivity Adjustment – Click the power button to cycle sensitivity from 0–5:

0 = Test mode (checks the device responds with sound, vibration and spray, without needing to trigger a real bark)
1 = Least sensitive (best for noisy environments, e.g. music or TV playing)
5 = Most sensitive (best for quiet environments, e.g. indoors at night)

Refilling Spray – Turn off the device first. Hold the refill bottle straight down against the spray inlet and press for 10–15 seconds, then turn the device back on. Each full refill gives approximately 25 sprays.

Wearing – Position under the dog's chin, following the collar's wear-direction guide. Ensure one finger fits comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck.

Testing Tips:

Set sensitivity to 0 (test mode) and simulate a bark near the microphone on the back of the device.
In test mode, the collar should respond with sound, vibration, and spray.

Safety & Care:

Not suitable for aggressive dogs. Suitable for dogs aged 6 months and over, weighing 8 lbs or more.
Do not wear for more than 12 hours a day.
Supervise your dog closely for the first day or two of wear.
Check your dog's neck weekly for rash or irritation, and clean the neck area and the collar's sensor at the same time.

Avoid this company. Emailed them for advice as item doesnt activate on my dog. Ignored! Requested a return of item and still nothing!

Hi Stephanie, I'm sorry — your emails ended up in our spam folder, which is why they went unanswered. That's a genuine miss on our end, and I understand why it was frustrating to be ignored.
I've already processed your refund, so that should be with you now (do let me know if it hasn't come through).
On the collar itself: it's not for every dog, and it sounds like it just wasn't the right fit here. Thanks for giving it a try, and sorry the experience wasn't a good one. If there's anything else you need, just reply here or email us again, i have marked it as non spam now.

Have telephoned and left a message but my call has not been returned

Have telephoned and left a message but my call has not been returned. My dog is small and so I have to take the collar down to its very limit, this means there is a significant amount of webbing hanging. My question is IF I CUT THIS (which must to be done) IS THE WARRANTY/RETURN IF INEFFECTIVE STILL ACTIVE?????

Great collar, works well

thank you

It works! Great purchase

It works! Great purchase.

Excellent customer service

We bought the above collar for our noisy French Mastiff, but he has a curiously high pitched bark so the collar wouldn't always go off. The kind folk at Calmshops were very helpful and advised us to try a different brand which is much better. Our dog's excessive barking is already being reduced. Top service, very many thanks.
