SportDOG's new and updated bark collar. The updated device has 10 levels of stimulation, three custom user modes, and is accurately triggered by both vibration and sound, still making this one of our favorites. The SportDOG R is for dogs 10 lbs. and up.

Let your dogs set their own correction level automatically.

The SportDOG NoBark SBC-R collar can let your dog set their own level of correction to stop their barking, ensuring that they don't recieve over-correction. It is designed to get your dog’s attention and interrupt their barking pattern, not to punish them. The NoBark SBC-R uses advanced digital technology, allowing for the most superior bark detection ever. External noise or another dog's bark won't trigger a correction. Now with the option of both long and standard Contact Points, the SBC-R offers 10 levels of static stimulation, as well as 3 programmable modes: Temperament Learning, Progressive Correction, and User-Selected.

The SBC-R is great for use in single-dog situations or in a kennel setting with multiple dogs. Recommended for dogs 10 pounds or larger with neck sizes from 5" to 22".

Includes great features such as an LED display, a submersible (to 10 feet) waterproof collar, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that charges in 2 hours and lasts approximately 200 hours per charge. The built-in safety feature detects if your dog barks 15 times or more within an 80-second period.  In this instance, the SBC-R will stop issuing stimulation for 30 seconds and then resume normal operation. This safety feature is active in all three modes of operation.

We at Sporting Dog Pro can't recomend the usefulness of this collar enough. It works safely and quickly.

You choose the mode that will work best for your dog.

Temperament Learning Mode: Correction starts at the lowest level (1) and increases to the next level each time your dog barks within 30 seconds of the previous bark. The collar remembers the correction level needed to stop your dog’s barking. The next time your dog starts barking, the correction will automatically start at the last/highest level used. The static stimulation level will be reduced 30 seconds after your dog stops barking.

Progressive Correction Mode: Correction starts at the lowest level (1) and increases to the next level each time your dog barks within 30 seconds of the previous bark. If your dog doesn't bark again within 30 seconds, the correction will reset to the lowest level (1).

User-Selected Correction Mode: You manually choose the correction level. If your dog barks, the collar will correct him at the level you’ve selected until he stops barking. Always start training at the lowest level of correction. Watch how your dog reacts, and if necessary, progress to the next correction level.

What you should expect while using the NoBark SBC-R on your dog.

Firstly, do not attach a leash to any part of this collar. It can cause excessive pressure to be applied to the contact points on your dog’s skin. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the dog’s neck may cause skin damage. We highly encourage you to read all of the instructions in the user manual. You'll definitely want to learn the things to do and not do with this device.

It is very important to not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a correction from this collar. After you place the collar on your dog, and power the device on, be somewhat close to him while you wait for him to bark. Since the static correction will be a new sensation for your dog, after he receives the first correction from the collar, he may start barking more as a result. Not to worry, they will quickly understand that the collar is disrupting their urge to bark, and will soon relax and stop barking all together.

In some rare occasions, your dog may get into a bark-stimulation-bark-stimulation cycle with the new sensation and continue to bark, which in turn will send additional corrections to them. If this happens, be right beside your dog and reassure them with a calm and soothing tone that everything will be alright. Once they learn that their barking is the root of the problem, they will relax and stop making the noises. This rare occurrence will usually only happen the first time they wear the NoBark R.

You should notice a huge difference in the amount of barking your dog does within the first few days of wearing the collar... but the learning process is still not complete. In some cases, dogs will "test" the new training experience in the second week by trying to "out-bark" the collar, thus receiving additional corrections. If this happens with your dog, you must remain consistent with its use and keep the SportDOG NoBark SBC-R on them in every situation that you expect them to be quiet. Once your dog understands what the collar means, you will then be able to decide when the collar is to be worn and when to leave it off.

    Excellent product
    I am extremely pleased with this NoBark collar. It actually works. After trying two other collars from two different manufacturers that were difficult to program and did absolutely nothing to prevent barking, I was doubtful S[portDog would work. I was pleasantly surprised when it worked the same day I placed it on my dogs. My stress level and the barking both were relieved! Love the collar.

    useful product
    This bark collar does its job. Relatively easy to set up and use. My 5 year old female black lab learned barking wasn't a god idea after about five corrections with this collar.Remains to be seen how long the lessons are remembered.Wish the collar had a tone feature as well.

    Great Product
    We used it in 2 of our dogs. One that had already been started in Ecollar training and had a clear understanding of how to turn off negative stimulus, and one that has had no ecollar training. Both dogs the collar eliminated the nuisance barking and whining. The one with ecollar training took 2 times and the other took about a week of constantly wearing the collar while crated to extinguish the behavior. We also paired the collar with positive rewards for being quiet in the crate as well.

    Love the product would definitely recommend to a friend.

    This one works!
    Finally I’ve found a bark collar that REALLY works! This is the third brand I have bought; the first two did not keep my dog from barking even at the highest setting. This product does what it claims to do and I’ve already recommended it to a few of my dog friends and family. Love it!

    Works very well. I have tried cheaper collars but they either didnt work at all or failed quickly.

    Good collar for a very specific purpose
    This is a great collar if you need to help your dog understand when he/she can bark and helps the owner stop the behavior more quickly. My dog is e-collar trained but we moved to a new home with a very loud dog on the other side of our fence and the two dogs would fence fight. Correcting my dog every time this happened was very difficult and inconsistent so I needed something that would let him know this is unacceptable. It works and it's very reliable but the collar needs to be fitted properly. With any training, be consistent, be fair, and reward your dog when the behave properly.

    Works perfectly!
    Used this on my lab in temperament learning mode. It stopped his obsessive barking in two days.

    Great Product
    Product performs as advertised. This is the second one of these I have bought, due to how good the first one performed. The charging mechanism is simple and long lasting. The collar is high quality, and level of adjustment to size of dog is large. Have no issues recommending this collar to anyone. You won't be disappointed if your looking for a quality bark collar.
