CONTACT POINTS
NOTICE :
When first using the “Anti-bark collar”, it is
recommended that you start with the lowest level.
If the dog continues to bark, gradually increase the
intensity level.
A long contact point set is included.
The contact points must make good contact with the
skin for the unit to function properly.
IMPORTANT: When screwing in the contact points,
tighten by hand only.
21
Periodically wash the “Anti-bark collar” with alcohol
or detergent. Before washing, make sure that the
battery cap is tightened.
Dry thoroughly after washing.
MAINTENANCE
Tighten the collar around the dog’s neck so that the
points are in contact with the dog’s skin.
If the collar is too loose, the dog will not receive
correction when it barks.
Check the dog’s neck daily for possible irritation
caused by the contact points rubbing the skin.
Do not leave the collar on for more than eight hours a
day.
FITTING THE COLLAR

22
Your YS100 is a valuable training aid when used
correctly. Please read the information on operating
the Anti-bark collar before putting it on your dog.
To prevent skin irritation, the collar should not be
worn more than eight hours at a time.
Also, it is best to move the location of the contact
points every few hours. To do this, take the collar off
and then put it back on so that the contact points are
in a different location on the neck.
If skin irritation is found, wash the area and rinse
with hydrogen peroxide. Apply an antibiotic
ointment. Temporarily discontinue using the collar
until the skin has healed.
Use the right length of contact points. The collar
comes installed with contact points that are best for
the majority of dogs. Included in the package is a set
of long contact points that are designed to penetrate
long, thick hair.
Proper collar strap tightness is extremely important.
If the collar is too loose, it will not function properly
and it may rub as the dog moves, causing irritation.
