Hi Steve,

Just had to drop you a quick note to tell you how awesome the Tritronics Bark Limiter is - even though you already know!

I have to give my shepherd mix some of the credit though - it did not take her very long to figure out if she was quiet no more shocks.

I started on the lowest setting and the first couple of days I stopped counting when the odometer reached 50! I tightened the collar and increased to the next level. The next day it was 20, then 10, then 3, and 1, and now zero!

I am so encouraged by the fast progress - less than one week! - that I may consider a remote collar to teach her to stay in my yard.

Thank you for all of your help in choosing this collar - besides all of the other features, the odometer, in my opinion, makes all of the difference!

Have a great day!

I was very concerned when the folks at Tri-Tronics called and told me they were introducing the Bark Limiter XS. This meant that they were mothballing the old Bark Limiter, a collar that we had been using for years. I was not happy. Why change something that works just fine? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

My favorite features on the Tritronics Bark Limiter XS:

• Small collar size
• "Sleep" mode
• Bark Odometer
• Easy to change levels
• Waterproof

The New Tritronics Bark Limiter is Smaller

Previous Tri-Tronics Bark collars were too bulky to put on dogs under 25 pounds and they looked bad on dogs under 40 pounds. The Bark Limiter XS can be worn by even the smallest dog -- even Stumpy, our 12lb. feist/squirrel dog!

The New Tritronics Bark Limiter has "Sleep Mode"

I prefer a battery operated bark collar over a rechargeable bark collar because I want zero down time. My dogs don't wear bark collars all the time, but I don't want to need a bark collar and not be able to use it because the battery needs charging.

I love the new battery function called "Sleep" mode. When the Bark Limiter XS is on your dog the collar will "shut down" when he is lying still after 30 seconds. This conserves battery life since it is not draining power while your dog is asleep. The second he moves or barks it turns back on.

This morning, I changed out a battery for one of our local professional lab trainers. This battery had been running for over a year and his collar had never been turned off. When it was not on a dog he just let it drop into sleep mode.

The NEW Tritronics Bark Limiter has a new feature: The BARK ODOMETER

The only problem with leaving the collar "on" all the time is that you miss out on the "Bark Odometer." When Tri-Tronics first told me about this new feature, I told them it was the dumbest idea I had ever heard. Then I got to use one and I got to eat my words.

The "Bark Odometer" is perhaps the coolest idea I have ever seen for a no bark product.

The way it works, you can see how many times your dog was corrected since you activated the Bark Limiter XS. If you have a dog that is barking while you are away at work during the day, you can turn the collar on in the morning and put it on your dog.

When you return in the evening, you take the collar off of your dog and turn it off.

Before it shuts down, the red indicator light will blink the number of times that your dog was corrected since you put the collar on him. This way you know if your collar is working. Too many corrections and you need to increase the stimulation level. If there were no corrections, you can either leave the collar on the same level or lower it if you think it will still keep your dog from barking. (I want one now)

The New Tri-Tronics Bark Limiter makes it easy to change levels so you can match the stimulation to your dog's temperament

The other nice improvement is the easy to change levels. With the Bark Limiter XS, you do not need any tools or magnets to change correction levels. You also do not have to open up the battery compartment to change levels.

There's no risk to you with our 30-day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If it doesn't work for you, just send it back within 30 days and I'll refund your money.

THANKS! - Steve
