- Gentle on sensitive dogs—perfect even for more timid or sensitive pets.
How Does the Dogtrace D-Mute Small Collar Work?
This electronic anti-bark collar works by detecting vibrations of the dog’s vocal cords. When your dog barks, the collar delivers a preset correction—a gentle beep, a mild pulse, or a combination of both. This helps the dog quickly learn that excessive barking is undesirable.
The collar is not a punishment but rather a training tool to guide your dog toward calmer behavior. It must be positioned directly on the vocal cords to accurately detect barking and fitted snugly without choking the dog. The collar activates automatically when the dog barks, howls, or growls. You can easily adjust the settings—including sensitivity, correction type, and timing. Correction may be a sound signal, a stimulation pulse, or a combination of both.

This model is designed especially for:
-
Small dog breeds up to approx. 15 kg
-
Dogs that bark frequently or without clear cause
-
Owners looking for a gentle and easy-to-use bark control collar
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Is the anti-bark collar safe for my dog?
Yes. The Dogtrace D-Mute Small collar is designed to be completely safe and gentle, even for sensitive dogs. The correction levels are low and adjustable to suit your dog’s needs. When used properly, the collar does not cause pain but rather works as a mild reminder.
2. From what age can I use the collar?
The collar is suitable for dogs from 6 months of age, once your dog has developed basic behavior patterns and is ready to respond to training.
3. How will I know the collar is working?
When properly fitted and set up, your dog will gradually reduce excessive barking within a few days to a few weeks. The collar activates with a beep or pulse every time the dog barks, gently reminding them. Consistency and correct fit are key.
4. What if my dog keeps barking with the collar on?
Some dogs may need more time to adjust. You may need to adjust the correction level or combine the collar with other training methods. If your dog does not respond after several days, we recommend consulting a professional trainer or veterinarian.
5. Will the collar react to other dogs or external noises?
No. The Dogtrace D-Mute Small works by detecting vibrations of your dog’s vocal cords, so it only reacts to your dog's barking. It won’t be triggered by nearby noise or other dogs barking.
6. Can my dog wear the collar all day?
We recommend using the collar only during situations where barking is unwanted—such as when you’re away from home or during outdoor activities. Avoid leaving the collar on continuously so your dog remains comfortable and free.
7. Is the collar suitable for long-haired dogs?
Yes, but it’s important to ensure the electrodes make contact with the dog’s skin, not just the fur. For long-haired breeds, choose the appropriate electrode length (included in the package) and check the contact regularly.
The D-Mute Small electronic anti-bark collar is a safe and effective tool that helps eliminate excessive or unnecessary barking in your dog. It offers a simple solution for situations where your dog reacts to the slightest stimulus with barking—or even barks continuously throughout the day in your absence, disturbing the surroundings. The D-Mute Small collar helps you control barking effectively—without yelling, stress, or frustration.
