Autorise Stimulation -- Garmin has added a setting to the BarkLimiter that allows the unit to automatically increase stimulation levels as your dog barks to find the correct level. Unlike direct set stimulation levels, the Autorise feature uses 18 levels of stimulation. This allows the unit to ramp up very quickly to stop rapid barking and to get to the right level fast.
The advantage of an autorise feature is that the unit can deal with high distraction situations that need higher levels and then after the barking is over the level will drop. The next time a lower distraction situation comes up, the unit starts low so that your dog isn't over corrected. I have had great success with this type of feature in other brands of bark collars and I am glad to see it in the Bark Limiter.
The majority of my dogs work fine in an autorise mode but I have a few that don't. Some dogs are just really driven to bark and they require a high correction level the first time they bark and everytime after that. These dogs will not do well on an autorise bark collar and will require a high direct set level.
The downside of autorise is that you are going to have some barking. This mode might not be what your particular barking issue needs and you might be better off with a direct set level.
Vibration Settings -- In Vibration mode, instead of correcting the dog with static stimulation when he barks, the collar will vibrate. There is no electric stimulation at all. It is not a warning or a precursor to stimulation, it is only vibration.
I can't say it won't stop a dog from barking but I'll be real surprised if it does, especially over time. Some dogs may find vibration to be startling at first, but once your dog figures out that there is no downside to it, you will need to move to a mode that has a stimulation correction.
Keep in mind that if you have used vibration on a remote training collar to communicate with your dog you will be making a mistake to try and use vibration with your bark collar.
Coin Slot Dial -- This is a very simple way to operate the collar and it's easy to tell what level you are on. The down side is that you do not want a dial that is easy to turn. If it's easy to turn then there is a chance that the level could get changed while the collar is on the dog.
Garmin has made this dial stiff. This makes it hard to turn by hand but there is little chance it will change levels by accident. To make it easier to use, there is a "coin slot" in the dial that lets you use a penny, dime or quarter to turn the dial. You can also use a flat head screw driver or any other flat tool.
I am not a big fan of external dials. We have several products that use them and I don't like them. There are a couple of things about the Bark Limiter that make the dial an improvement over a button, but I'm still not a fan. When we have trouble with older versions of the Bark Limiter, the majority of the time it was an on/off button issue. Every time you changed anything on the old Bark Limiter you used the on/off button. Once it failed you were done. The dial should fix that. Also, changing levels on the old Bark Limiter was a pain. You had to scroll through all 5 levels to lower the stimulation. It was hard to explain and it took time. The dial fixes that.
Updated Bark Odometer -- Garmin has made a needed change to the "Bark Odometer" on this version. Instead of flashing green once for every time the dog is corrected, you get red flashes for every 10 correction and then green flashes for the ones. For example, if you get 2 red flashes and 5 green flashes, your dog was corrected 25 times. (You may need to turn that level up!)
Integrated Contact Points -- The Bark Limiter no longer comes with short and long contact points. The new integrated contact points are designed to work with long and short haired coats. This is a new trend in bark collars and we have not seen many issues with not being able to get good skin contact, but some dogs will require longer probes. If that is the case with your dog, you will need to try another brand.
"Good Barks"
If you look around at other sites on the internet that also sell the Garmin Bark Limiter, you will find text that talks about this unit being able to "recognize qualitative differences in barking." These websites claim that the Bark Limiter can tell the difference between "obsessive or nuisance barking" and ignore "good" barking. This is not true. Garmin originally intended to make this concept part of the design of the new Bark Limiter but were unable to do so.
While this is a feature that many folks would love to have in a bark collar, the Bark Limiter can't do this. The reason these websites claim that the product will do this is because Garmin accidentally included this text on its website and several distributors sent the info out to their dealers. The Bark Limiter can not tell the difference between "good" barking and "bad" barking. Anyone that tells you it can does not know what they are talking about.
What the Bark Limiter does do is differentiate between barking and other vocalizations. This is pretty typical in bark collars today. We find that many sounds that a dog makes will not be seen as "barks" by the unit. This is a good thing, but sometimes we have dogs that learn how to make sounds that the unit will not correct.
Today we're going to take a look at the Garmin Bark Limiter products. These are bark collars made by Garmin based off of the Tri-Tronics design that we've had the last 10 or 12 years.
Rechargeable technology nowadays is pretty good. You are not going to have to charge this really that often. Once a week would be plenty for most folks. You may be able to get away with even going out longer than that. It really depends on how much your dog barks.
10 years ago I hated rechargeable bark collars because they had so much downtime. You had to charge them every day. You'd have these situations where you needed your bark collar but it was out of battery. Nowadays it's just not that common. The technology is really good.
The dial has N, which is a neutral position. It cuts the collar off. Then you have V, which V is a vibration only mode. When the dog bark it gives a vibration. There is no electrical stimulation involved whatsoever. It's strictly vibration when he barks. The A is a rising stimulation. The way this bark collar works, when the dog barks it gives a correction at the lowest level. When he barks again it gives another correction. If he continues to bark, the stimulation increases until you get to a level where the dog stops barking.
I like rising stimulation in bark collars. It allows the dog to figure out which level is going to work for him. So I'm a big fan of it. Some people don't care for it because a dog that can take a lot of stimulation is going to be able to bark several times before it reaches that level. So a lot of it depends on your situation.
My dogs wear bark collars not so much because of my neighbors, because I live out in the country. They wear bark collars because of me. I don't want to listen to them. So when they are wearing a bark collar, they get a bark or two in. something comes up and they choose to bark once or twice. It's not really that big of a deal to me. I just don't want them to bark constantly. So most of my dogs work in a rising stimulation.
Then you've got direct set levels, which this unit has 1-7. Some dogs just don't work well in a rising stimulation mode and you want to be able to give them an exact level based on what they need. So you've got seven different levels to choose from.
Now, a dial on the outside of the collar can be a problem if it's a free spinning dial. So what Garmin has done is they've made it where you need something to turn the dial. A penny works really good. You can use a screwdriver, anything like that. You can turn it by hand, but it's not easy. And so, they've got a little key slot there. You just take your penny and you set it.
What's nice about this particular collar is that once you figure out what level you want to use, you can actually leave it there the majority of the time.
A couple of features that this collar has, it has a sleep mode. So if your collar is on and it's on the dog, you take it off and you leave it on Level 4 and you set it down, after a short period of time, once it's motionless the collar is going to power down. What that does is conserves battery life. The idea behind it is if your dog is curled up and he's asleep, he's not going to need the bark mode, so it powers down to save battery life.
Well, the same thing is true when you take it off the dog. So if you figure out the level that you want, you set it on that level and you can leave it there pretty much all the time.
If you do that, though, you miss out on one of the features. Garmin has what's called a bark odometer. The system will record the number of times the dog is corrected. And so, if you set it on a 4 and now you want to see how many times your dog barked while you were gone, take it off the dog, turn it back to N. Before it shuts down it's going to blink at you and tell you how many times the dog was corrected.
So if you turn it off and you get no blinks or one or two, then you go, "OK. Good. The 4 is working." If you get 30 then you know your dog has been barking the entire time you were gone. We need to increase the stimulation level.
So it's a pretty neat feature. It's called the bark odometer.
Family pet. Helped with the excessive barking immediately. Love the way it adjusts to the level required for each situation.

By: Amanda Miller From IL
I seriously love this bark collar. Every time I would get home, my dogs would bark and bark and bark, which is fine if it's someone they don't know, but they'd bark at me, Every single time. Then they'd carry on for at least 30 minutes. Finally, I have peace whenever I get home now. I have three English Springers, and they learned really fast what happens when they bark aggressively. I now leave the collars on the vibration setting because then they get a warning and they think it'll get stronger if they keep it up. Money well spent! My only issue is that I have to charge them every 5 days or so when I read somewhere that it was around a week. But really, that's not even a problem!

Great product from Garmin to help w/ nuisance barking. Very humane way to train my dogs when it is appropriate to bark and when it is not. The correction is graduated and after a week or so, my dogs learned the desired behavior and were no longer receiving a correction. Over a month into it now, I don't need to use the collar nearly as much as when I first started training. My current practice is to put the collar on them when additional reinforcement is needed and most of the time, I do not even turn it on and the desired behaviour is elicited. Of course this device is not a substitute for patient work with your dog, but a great tool to help with training.

Shih tzu. Hunts. Family pet. AMAZING!! I'm sure our neighbors hated our dogs because I was starting to dislike them myself. The NON-stop barking was making everyone crazy! I had purchased 2 other brands to stop the barking. We have invisible fence so I knew it had to work. The other collars slowed them down for a day or two. Having the ability to adjust the collars AND finding out the number of corrections they receive have made all the difference! Worth EVERY penny I paid!!

Hunts. Family pet. I was leery of buying a bark limiter, but based on the information on Gun Dog Supply and a great deal I took the chance. It is simply amazing. We didn't have a severe barking problem, but a whining and the occasional 'come unglued moment' when getting home from work. It was getting to the point where we would sneak into the driveway to go unnoticed or race to let him out. Well, that leads to bad habits, so I didn't want to continue that trend. Instantly the tri tronics bark limiter worked. We used the automatic setting, and it seems to work excellent for our needs. He never barked often, but when he did now it's all gone. No more whining even. Love it!

Competes. I was so pleased with my first Garmin bark collar that I purchased a second when it came on sale. I have three working border collies that rarely bark, except when they are within earshot and can both hear and see me working with one of them. The two awaiting their turn would bark in frustration. It was impossible to verbally correct them without upsetting the one I was working with. I use the 'auto' setting, and quickly the peace was restored. I especially like the feature that allows me to monitor exactly how many corrections were utilized over each session, and thus easily track the barking behaviors of each individual dog. Now all three rarely trigger more than a couple of corrections each session. The self charger unit is well worth it, and very easy and convenient to use. I recommend this product without reservation even for 'sensitive' breeds. Great product, and excellent service.

Family pet. Works so much better than the remote control one we had as there's no hunting for the remote while the dog is barking. I love the automatic setting. It lets our dog get a couple of barks in but cuts him off before it becomes annoying. Because it's on all the time there's much more consistency so now as soon as it ramps up he quiets down without having to go to the high setting we needed for the remote one. More comfortable for him and us and way more effective overall. The rechargeable battery is great. No more letting him bark because we forgot to get spare batteries and the stores are closed!

Rat Terrier. Family pet. This unit completely solved our dog's excessive barking problem in less than two days. Since he is small we temporarily replaced the large rubber type collar with a smaller soft nylon collar. Works perfectly and is high quality. Now he only uses it occasionally as a reminder. The battery seldom needs recharged but when it does, it's very quick and easy. The instruction booklet that comes with it is thorough and easy to understand. I must also mention the incredibly fast shipping - thank's Steve!!

Competes. Excellent for one dog, who is a quick study & before was quite a general-purpose barker; hers is set on Auto, so goes up incrementally if/when she barks. Her sister/littermate is more stubborn (or less bothered by it); hers is set on 6 (next-to-highest), and she barks less, but if another dog walks by she appears determined to bark in spite of the correction. Next step is highest setting, #7. I would recommend this item to anyone with the very fair caveat that you already have online re: some dogs just being barkers, almost no matter what.

I like that my family and I can now enjoy our dog because he's not constantly barking at what is on TV or who is walking outside. A few things I don't like about the collar is there is no on/ off switch, the battery dies very quickly and a few times it had a delayed reaction to where the shock didn't work until about a minute after excessive barking and it must have been a high number shock because my dog literally flew across the couch and yelped. Maybe the collar I received is defective?? Thanks!

By: Sarah Smith From MN
Family pet. So far it seems to work as expected. I much prefer the push-button on the old Tri Tronics Bark Limiter, and while it's not a problem for my dogs, I don't understand why they got rid of the interchangeable contact points for longer haired dogs. It is annoying to dig out a coin every time I need to turn the unit on/off, but I am hopeful that the rechargeable nature of this device makes it worth it to give up a couple of other nice features.

Standard poodle. Family pet. I have used this collar on two occasions and seemed to slow down the barking. I find the collar easy to charge. I plan to purchase a second collar to correct a second dog.

Family pet. The collar with a buckle is hard to take on and off. I replaced my collars with nylon collars with quick snap closures which make it much easier to take on and off of the dogs. If this collar option was made available it would move my rating to five star.

We have used other collars (PS) and they are effective but do not have a vibration mode. I like the Garmin for having this feature. The collar itself doesn't feel as durable as the PS but time will tell. Overall it's a nice piece of dog gear and I would consider purchasing again.

Hunts. I have another bark limiter, but it isn't rechargeable. It works great, but the battery is hard to find in my area and they only last about 3 months tops and are pretty expensive. So the rechargeable is working just as good as my other one right now. I hope the battery life is better. I like the bark limiters much better than the SportDOGs for sure. They are built much better and last much longer.

Llewellin Setter. Hunts. Like the small compact size. Do not like having to adjust dial every time to activate it. I would prefer the old style of set it/forget it. If I store it at night on 3, it won't work unless I roll the dial to A, then back to 3. All in all, I like it.

Beagle. Family pet. The collar has achieved exactly what we had hoped. Our dog is no longer barking excessively. We really like the progressive mode so that he does not get a severe correction right away. It increases only if his barking continues. The one thing that could be better about this collar is the buckle. Would love if it had a snap closure instead for ease of putting it on and off.

Family pet. The reason for 4 stars is because I ordered this with a heavy heart. This was a last resort after other training methods didn't work. He is the most strong willed dog I have ever met. We stopped taking him for walks and rides in the car. The barking was out of control and embarrassing. After 2-3 days of training he got the message. His quality of life is so much better. He is back to car rides and daily walks.

Hunts. Steve. The only problem I have with the collar is my other beagle barks next to the one with the collar and the collared dog gets a correction. Also, if the collared dog belches, it gives a correction. Keeps my dog a little anxious. Thanks.

The collar strap is a cheap poor imitation of the older Tri-Tronics collar straps that were excellent. Wouldn't take much more than two dog bites to put it in half. The bark collar itself works fine the strap is cheap junk.

Family pet. The question is really not appropriate, since the Bark Limiter that we received was obviously a one-time defective fluke. We returned it, but it is probably unfair to rate it unfavorably since it appeared to be a one-off defective.

By: Crazy Hound Owner
Family pet. We're using manual level 6 because auto didn't correct quickly enough. My crazy hound figured out quickly that if he shakes vigorously he can move the shocking part of the collar to the side, which makes it not so effective. If it's situated directly below his neck, it works pretty good. It works better than other brands I've tried.

Family pet. This collar has no effect on my dog's barking. I even shaved the hair on his neck for good contact. This is a dog that responds well to a remote collar, so I believe the stimulation from the bark limiter is not effective.

The collars go off too easily. Not only other dogs barking, but rubbing the dog's neck and on occasion even while removing the collar it gives a correction. This is making the dogs confused and in one case shut down.

Hunts. Family pet. Competes. I like the Garmin products. I like the size and weight of this collar, and I thought the bark odometer would be useful. But I am very disappointed in the consistency of this collar. While in my presence, the dog was corrected for quietly burping, and when I checked the bark odometer it said he was corrected several times, but he had been quiet. He also got a correction while I was taking the collar off the dog. So I don't know if this single collar is defective and not the norm, but I will be returning it and trying another brand. Disappointed in Garmin.

Family pet. I bought this collar for my dachshund since it was rated for smaller dogs. It definitely shocks him when he barks, but it also shocks him when he hasn't barked. I tried it several different times, and it kept happening, so I had to stop using it on him. I also have a SportDog NoBark for my larger dog, and it does not have the same problem. Would not buy Garmin brand again.

Garmin Bark Limiter Deluxe Overview
The Garmin / Tri-Tronics BarkLimiter Deluxe Rechargeable Bark Collar is able to distinguish between barking and other vocalizations by using innovative "Advanced Bark Correction Technology" powered by micro electro-mechanical acceleration sensors. It delivers consistent and instantaneous correction, virtually eliminating false corrections caused by external noises.
You can either choose the convenient Autorise setting that automatically programs the stimulation intensity level based on the barking behavior of each individual dog, or choose manual or vibration options for alternative modes of correction. This lightweight, compact no-bark collar is the perfect training tool for any dog with a nuisance barking problem. It works right out of the box with no additional set-up required!
Garmin Bark Limiter Deluxe Features:
Autorise Stimulation
Autorise Stimulation mode automatically increases the stimulation to the correct level as your dog barks. It will also increase levels if a high distraction situation causes your dog to bark excessively. This way you do not have to go through the task of testing levels to see what your dog needs.
How Autorise works: The Autorise feature starts at level 1 when the unit is turned on. When your dog barks he will get a correction on level 1. If he barks again he will get a second correction on level 1. If he barks a third time, the unit will increase stimulation by two levels. If your dog continues to bark he will get two corrections at the new level before the collar increases two more levels. Once the collar reaches the needed level to get the dog to stop barking, it will slowly lower the stimulation by one level at a time. If your dog barks again while the unit is at the lower level, the unit will start at that level and then increase again as needed. Over time, the unit will return to level 1 once your dog has stopped barking for an extended period of time.
Vibration Mode
The Bark Limiter has a vibration setting on the dial. Instead of correcting your dog with static stimulation when he barks, the collar will vibrate.
Direct Stimulation Level Settings
The Bark Limiter has 7 levels of direct set stimulation levels used to correct barking. Direct set levels give the same amount of stimulation every time your dog barks no matter how many times he barks. To use direct set levels effectively, you need to test your dog over time and get a feeling for the level that he needs in most situations. The Bark Odometer can be very helpful when getting a feel for what level your dog will require when you are not around to watch him.
Bark Odometer
The Bark Odometer counts the number of times your dog is corrected while wearing the collar, and counts them back to you when you turn the unit off. This way you know if the level that you have set for your dog is working for him while you are away. If you have no corrections or just a few, then your level is set high enough. If you have several corrections then you need to rethink the stimulation level that you are using. To activate the Odometer, set the dial to "N" which turns the unit off. The Odometer will then flash the number of corrections since the last time the unit was turned on.
Sleep Mode
When your Bark Limiter is motionless for a short period of time it drops into Sleep Mode. This is designed to save battery power when the unit is not needed. The Bark Limiter can go into Sleep Mode when it is removed from your dog or while your dog is motionless. Sleep Mode allows you to leave your Bark Limiter dial set to the mode or level you need to control your dog's barking, even when the collar is not in use, without draining the battery.
Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
The rechargeable Bark Limiter Deluxe is listed by Garmin as being able to go three months between charges. This will vary depending on what stimulation settings you use, how much your dog barks while wearing the collar, and how many hours a day your dog wears the collar. The collar can remain set to the desired mode or manual setting while recharging.
Battery Strength Indicator
When you first turn the dial on the Bark Limiter from "N" to a level or setting, the light on the collar will glow for 5 seconds. The color of the light will tell you the condition of the battery. Green means "good," yellow means "charge," and red means "dead." The unit will work in yellow mode but immediate attention is recommended. The unit will not work at all when the light is red.
Coin Slot Dial
The Bark Limiter has an external dial that is used to set the mode or stimulation level for the collar. Settings include:
N -- Off Position V -- Vibration Mode A -- Autorise 1-7 -- Direct Set Levels (1 is the lowest stimulation level, 7 is the strongest)
Integrated Contact Points
Engineered to fit all dog breeds and all coat thicknesses.
Compact, Lightweight, and Waterproof -- weighs just over 2 oz.
