may, at first, intensify their aggressiveness. Owners should be very aware of this and take
protective measures for themselves, as well as other people or other pets.
2. Never attach a leash to the bark control collar. This could result in pulling the contact points too
tightly against your dog's neck. When using a separate collar or harness, do not put pressure on
the electronic collar. Also, make sure the second collar does not interfere with the contact
points.
3. Before playing with your dog, remove the bark control collar. The activity may cause your dog to
bark, which could lead to them associating the play with static correction.
4. Do not leave the bark control collar on your dog for more than 12 hours. When possible
reposition the collar on the dog's neck every 1 to 2 hours. Check the fit to prevent excessive
pressure.
5. Wash your dog's neck and the contact points of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
6. Examine the contact areas daily for any signs of a rash or sores. If a rash or sore is found,
discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours,
see your veterinarian.
7. The bark control collar is not suitable for very small dogs, old dogs, sick dogs, pregnant dogs, or
overly aggressive dogs.
Training
Place the bark control collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks. It is suggested to start
on vibration/beep mode. When using the static mode most dogs will understand very quickly that the
bark control collar is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and stop barking. Some dogs may bark
more, and as the static correction may be surprising or startling, some dogs may vocalize in response to
the initial correction.
Rarely, a dog may get into a bark-correction-bark-correction cycle that could be overwhelming. If this
happens reassure your dog quietly to get them to calm down. As your dog relaxes, they will understand
that if they become quiet, the static corrections will stop. The small minority of dogs that have this
reaction will only have it the first time they wear the bark control collar.
Safety feature. If your dog barks over seven times in 30 seconds the collar will go into standby for one
minute.
You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the first couple of days that they wear the
bark control collar. Some dog owners may feel that the problem has been solved at this point, but in
most cases the learning process is still not complete. Most dogs will "test" this new learning experience
and will continue their attempts to bark. This usually occurs during the second week that a dog wears
the bark control collar. If this occurs, remain consistent and do not alter your use of the bark control
collar. You must place the collar on your dog in every situation when you expect them to be quiet. If
