Nuisance barking is one of the most common problems a dog owner would face. Not to mention the noise complaints from your neighbours. Worse, a visit from shire rangers telling you that they may need to take your dog.

A DogWatch bark collar can be your best solution. The correct use of an anti-bark collar will set you up for success in training your dog to quit excessive barking.

Today, we will review the DogWatch BT-7 No Bark Trainer. So, you can get the best bark stop collar for your dog.

DogWatch BT-7 No Bark Trainer

Take a look at the features and benefits of each DogWatch bark collar we listed below. This is not really an entire comparison because these anti bark collars differ mainly on the size of your dog.

DogWatch BT-7 Quick Features:

Basically, the two DogWatch Bark Collars differ in a few features & benefits such as:

• Suitable dog sizes

• Batteries (BT-7 is rechargeable with 1-year warranty on the battery)

• The safety-auto reset function is available.
   

Now, let’s take a closer look at each feature and benefit unpacked for this review.

DogWatch No Bark Trainer Have 7 Settings of Stimulation to Distract Your Dog from Nuisance Barking

The 7 settings include the vibration-only, the 5 levels of static correction and the progressive setting for stimulation.

As you can see in the image:

• 

  (0) is the ‘OFF’ setting

• (V) means vibration-only mode

• (1) is the low level of static stimulation

• (2) is medium-low level

• (3) is medium

• (4) is medium-high

• (5) is high

• (P) represents the setting for automatic progression

You can set these according to your dog’s “recognition level”, the level that he reacts to and stops barking.

So, if you have a very sensitive dog, you can set the bark collar to vibration-only mode. On the other hand, if you have a stubborn dog, you can set the stimulation to the higher static levels. Note that the high levels of static correction do not hurt a dog in any way.

DogWatch BT-7 Can be Set to an Automated Progressive Levels - Correction Gradually Increases as Your Dog Continues to Bark

Now, if you are unsure of your dog’s temperament or barking habit, or his “recognition level” for the correction, you can use the progressive setting for the stimulation.

So, as your dog barks, the correction starts from vibration then gradually increases up to the highest static correction. Then, it will reset to vibration-only mode after 3 minutes of no barking.

This feature makes the bark control training even more efficient.

Both of the DogWatch BT-7 No Bark Trainer Have the “Bark Forgiveness” Technology

This is a bark delay feature that allows the dog to bark appropriately. So, the anti bark collar will not immediately activate the correction when your dog barks.

This feature helps in making sure that the dog “understands” that the stimulation is caused by excessive barking and not from anywhere else - this is indeed another feature that ensures efficient bark control training.

These DogWatch Bark Collars Have a Bark Counter or Indicator to Better Help with the Bark Control Training

The bark counter feature helps you monitor your dog’s barking activity - this is best if you often leave your dog at home.

This feature helps you determine if the correction level you have set on the bark collar actually helps in reducing and even eliminating the nuisance barking.

So, the feature basically counts how many activations were done by the bark collar. Here’s how you view it:

• Turn the dial, or set the collar to 0, the OFF position

• The anti-bark collar will flash and the number of flashes is associated with the number of activations made by the collar since the last time you turned it on:

  • 2 flashes = 1-5 activations

  • 3 flashes = 6-10 activations

  • 4 flashes = 11-15 activations

  • 5 flashes = 15+ activations

So, more activations (i.e. 11-15 or more) mean that the correction has to go another level higher.

Both DogWatch BT-7 is Waterproof

Indeed, these DogWatch Bark Collars are great for water-loving dogs.

This waterproof design adds durability to the collar - you can go ahead and let your dog dip and play in the water!

BT-7 No Bark Trainer is for Medium to Extra Large Sized Dogs

On the other hand, the BT-7 No Bark Trainer fits dogs above 5kg. The collar strap can be adjusted from 28 cm to 62 cm.

DogWatch BT-7 No Bark Trainer Bark Collar Comes with a Rechargeable Battery (with 1 Year Warranty) - Designed with Battery Indicator

Best thing about the BT-7 rechargeable battery is that it can quickly charge within 2 hours for a 48-hour great bark training performance.

Take note that you should charge the collar up to 4 hours before you first use it.

Also, the battery is covered with 1 year warranty from DogWatch and the collar is designed with a battery status indicator:

• Blinks green = Collar is turned ON and the battery is charged

• Blinks red = Collar is turned ON but the battery is LOW

• Steady red = Collar is plugged in and the battery is CHARGING

• Steady green = Collar is plugged in and the battery is CHARGED

DogWatch Bark Collars are Covered with 3 Year Warranty

The registration must be submitted within 30 days from the day you purchased the anti bark collar… but if it’s not registered, proof of purchase will be required.

To Conclude this DogWatch Bark Collars Review:

DogWatch Bark Collars are highly recommended. The things that we want to improve or change would be to add the safety auto-reset feature on the BT-7 No Bark Trainer.

Overall, these anti-bark collars are really good and can certainly help in solving nuisance barking of small to extra large dogs with different temperaments or barking habit.
