Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of anti-barking devices, and provides an apparatus and method for controlling an anti-barking device with noise reduction. The apparatus includes a fixing device wearable on a neck of a pet dog, a housing, an anti-barking device, a main microphone sound collection module, an auxiliary microphone sound collection module, a differential amplifier module, a microprocessor, a sound-based detection start module and a motion sensor. The present disclosure solves the problem of high false triggering rate in existing anti-barking devices.
