PetSafe VBC-10 Vibration Bark Collar

The PetSafe VBC-10 Vibration Bark Collar PBC17-13338 detects bark sound and vibration, then responds with vibration. It uses a replaceable RFA-188 battery.

How the VBC-10 vibration bark collar works

The VBC-10 uses two detection signals, sound and vibration. When it detects a bark, one of two contact points delivers a vibration response. PetSafe describes ten combinations of vibration stimulation. The collar activates automatically from the bark.

Replacement battery

The VBC-10 takes the PetSafe RFA-188 3 V lithium battery module. Check replacement availability before buying if you want a spare. The 6 V modules used by some other PetSafe collars are different parts.

Fit and setup

Follow PetSafe’s fitting and testing directions for the VBC-10 before use. See PetSafe’s VBC-10 product information for the battery and operating details, or compare response types in Bark Control.

What neck sizes does the VBC-10 fit?

PetSafe lists an adjustable neck size of 15–71 cm and specifies use for dogs over six months old. Measure your dog’s neck and follow the manufacturer’s fit guidance for PBC17-13338 before use. If you’re checking a VBC-10 that no longer powers on, confirm that the RFA-188 module is seated and locked as described in the PetSafe guide.
