To Test the Vibration Bark
Control Collar
1. Begin with the Collar in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn to the “ON” position until the LED shows Orange.
3. Immediately turn to the “OFF” position after seeing the Orange LED.
4. Turn to the “ON” position. The LED will flash Orange and you are now in
test mode.
5. Blow into the microphone and the Orange LED will flash to indicate that the
microphone is working.
6. Scratch lightly between the Vibration Points to indicate the vibration
is working.
7. If the LED light does not flash and there is no vibration, ensure that the
battery is properly installed, and/or replace the battery. If there is still no
response, contact the Customer Care Centre.
8. Turn “OFF” to end the test mode. The test mode will also time out after
30 seconds and resume normal operation.
What to Expect During Use of the
Vibration Bark Control Collar
I
mportant: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a
Vibration Stimulation.
Place the Bark Control Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he
barks. Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Bark Control Collar
is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and stop barking. Because
the Vibration Stimulation from the Bark Control Collar may be surprising or
startling at first, some dogs may bark more at the initial stimulation.
On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-stimulation-bark-stimulation
cycle. If this happens, reassure your dog with calm, soothing tones. As your
dog relaxes, he will understand that if he becomes quiet, he will not receive
any more Vibration Stimulations. The small minority of dogs that have this
reaction will only have it the first time they wear the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the first couple
of days that he wears the Bark Control 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 Bark Control Collar. If this
does occur, remain consistent and do not alter your use of the Bark Control
Collar. You must place the Bark Control Collar on your dog in every situation
when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the Bark Control
Collar, he may resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
