Barklimiter - Garmin Delta Inbounds Owner's Manual

BarkLimiter

Before playing with your dog, you should remove the dog collar
device or deactivate the BarkLimiter feature.
When using the BarkLimiter feature, you should remove all other
collars, tags, or other items from your dog. These other items
can cause the BarkLimiter feature to activate when the dog is
not barking.
The BarkLimiter feature can correct your dog automatically
when the dog barks. The device detects vibrations to distinguish
between barking and other vocalizations. You can use the
Garmin Canine app to manually adjust the amount of barking
allowed. You can allow no barking or set a custom number to
indicate how many barks are allowed before correcting your
dog. You can also allow some barking (up to 5 barks) to help
avoid unintentional corrections resulting from everyday activity,
such as yawning, sneezing, or going through a dog door.
You can use any of these methods when correcting your dog
with the BarkLimiter feature.
• Tone
• Vibration
• Fixed stimulation
• An automatic, gradual increase in stimulation intensity (auto-
rise)
NOTE: If you turn off all correction methods, the device
continues to detect your dog's barks without performing any
corrections. This can help you track your dog's barking behavior
using the Garmin Canine app.
Automatic Intensity
The device can set the stimulation intensity level automatically
based on the barking behavior of the dog. The device starts at
the lowest intensity level and increases the intensity level
gradually until the dog stops barking. When the dog is quiet, the
intensity decreases over time.
The automatic intensity feature is designed to eliminate
excessive nuisance barking. To stop barks more immediately,
you should set the intensity level manually.
