What to Expect During Use of the Bark Control Collar
Important: Do not leave your dog alone the fi rst few times he wears the Bark Control Collar.
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 burst of Unscented Spray from the Bark Control Collar may be
surprising or startling at fi rst, some dogs may bark more at the initial correction.
On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-spray-bark-spray 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 spray bursts. The small minority of dogs that have this reaction should only have it
the fi rst time they wear the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the fi rst 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.
