What to Expect During Use of the Bark
Control Collar
Important: Do not leave your dog alone the fi rst few times he receives a correction.
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 ultrasonic correction 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-correction-bark-correction 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 ultrasonic corrections. The small minority of dogs that have this reaction will 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.
Note: All pets in hearing range will be affected by the ultrasonic tone.
