The SBC-18 is a great option for those who want to reduce their dogs’ barking in a humane and ethical way. It has a lot of advanced features, which include 18 progressive levels of correction and detection of barking with both sound and vibration sensors, as well as adjust-ability for neck sizes that range from 6 to 28 inches.

One of its modes is the “Test Collar” mode, that you can use to verify that the SBC-18 is in good working conditions. In this mode, you place the collar 8 inches away from you and you say the word “test” in the direction of the sensor. This should activate the first level of static shock correction, which will activate a LED light.

The collar will deliver a small static charge set at the lowest level of intensity the first time the dog barks, after that, it’ll automatically move on to the next level if it detects another barking within 30 seconds of the previous one. However, the collar will turn itself off for 3 minutes if your dog barks a minimum of 15 times in 50 seconds.

Keep in mind that the use of the no bark 18 collar should be restricted to those times when barking would be very inconvenient. The corrections administered by the collar keep increasing in intensity until they distract the dog and keep it from barking. The corrections are always mild and painless, making it a safe and harmless way to train your dog.

Attractive Features of The SBC-18 Collar

Chief among the collar’s features are the great number of correction levels, the light weight of the collar, its resistance to water, its test mode, the battery level indicator, and a limited guarantee. The SBC-10 comes in a cool looking, modern orange color.

Instructions Before Using The SBC-18

Don’t use this product if your dog is aggressive. Let your dog not wear any other collar while using an SBC-18 collar. Tethering strings along with the collar is highly discouraged. Do not make your dog wear this collar for more than 8 hours per day. Ensure that the fit is snug and your dog is free of any rashes while using an SBC-18 collar.
