he wears the Anti-Bark Spray Collar™. At this point, it is important to remember the
learning process is still not complete. Dogs will “test” this new learning experience and will
increase their attempts to bark. This usually occurs during the second week a dog wears
the Anti-Bark Spray Collar™. If this does occur, remain consistent and do not alter your
use of the Anti-Bark Spray Collar™. You must place the Anti-Bark Spray Collar™ on your
dog in every situation when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the
collar, he may resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
Tips and Maintenance
• Before playing with your dog, turn the unit off and remove the Anti-Bark Spray Collar™.
The activity may cause your dog to bark, which could lead to him associating the play
with the burst of spray.
• The collar must be fi lled to maximum capacity before placing it around your dog’s neck.
• Never fi ll the device while your dog is wearing it because it may damage the Refi ll Port.
• To ensure that your dog does not make the connection between you and the spray
collar, don’t let him see you prepare the device for the fi rst try or for subsequent use.
Keep your dog away while you prepare the device as well as when you fi ll it or change
the battery.
• It is important that your dog’s hair doesn’t block the Spray Nozzle. Try tying a bandanna
(handkerchief) around your dog’s neck, then place the spray collar over it. If necessary,
you may also consider trimming a little of the long hair around the dog’s neck for better
spray effect.
• Do not attach a lead to the collar. Remove all other collars with metallic parts or tags.
These could create noise that may needlessly activate the spraying device. You may
put a separate non-metallic collar or harness on your dog's neck and attach a lead.
Note: Be sure the extra collar does not interfere with the path of the spray.
• Avoid letting your dog wear the device with an empty reservoir. Make sure it is always full.
• Turn OFF the device while not in use.
• The Innotek
® Anti-Bark Spray Collar™ should only be used with pets that are over 6
months of age.
• If your pet is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or
professional trainer before use.
• Your Innotek ® Anti-Bark Spray Collar™ is splash-proof but not completely watertight.
Remove it before letting your dog go for a swim.
• Keep the device clean at all times. Do not immerse it in water when cleaning. Simply
use a dry cloth to wipe away dirt. You may lightly brush with a toothbrush if dirt
accumulates in front of the Microphone grid.
• Do not leave your device unattended where your dog could accidentally damage it
through chewing.
