Fit the Bark Control Collar
Important: The proper fi t and placement of your Bark Control Collar is
important for effective operation. The Contact Points must have direct contact
with your dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fi t, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the Bark Control Collar.
2. Start with your dog standing comfortably.
3. Place the Bark Control Collar on your dog’s neck close to the ears. Centre
the Contact Points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin.
4. Check the tightness of the Bark Control Collar by inserting one fi nger
between the end of a Contact Point and your dog’s neck. The fi t should be
snug but not constricting.
5. Allow your dog to wear the Bark
Control Collar for several minutes
then recheck the fi t. Check the fi t
again as your dog becomes more
comfortable with the Bark Control
Collar.

CAUTION
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Probes.
Never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection..
CAUTION
You should not make the collar any more tight than is required
for good contact. A collar that is too tight will increase the risk of pressure
necrosis in the contact area.
