SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your dogtra “No Bark Collar” is a valuable
training aid when used correctly.
The Dogtra No Bark Collar is made with surgical
stainless steel and anti-microbial protection
(straps), for a clean, odor fighting, long lasting
product. Please observe your dog’s neck everyday
because it may rub as the dog moves, causing
irritation if the collar is too loose.
To prevent skin irritation, the collar should not be
worn more than 8-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.
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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
No Bark Collars are intended for the sole
purpose of preventing the dog from barking.
Do not attempt to test dogtra No Bark Collars on
humans or other animals.

consult with your trainer.
The Dogtra YS300 has a preset delay of 15
seconds in-between corrections. Once the unit
activates, it WILL NOT activate again until 15
seconds has gone by. The reason for the delay is so
that your dog has some time to figure out the
implications of the corrections, before being
corrected again for barking.
IMPORTANT : Please remove the No Bark
Collar before playing with your dog.The activity
may cause your dog to bark, which could lead
him to associate playing with the electrical
stimulation

points. The length of the contact points should be
well-fitted so that the contact points are held
firmly against the dog’s skin.
IMPORTANT : Avoid touching the Contact
points unless the No Bark Collar is completely
discharged, or you may feel the electrical
stimulation yourself.
Plastic Dummy Contact Points
If your dog is properly trained with the no bark
collar, you can replace the Contact Points with
the Plastic Contact Points included in the

the collar on your dog for a longer period of time
with less irritation on the skin. You may also use
the Pager mode as a useful tool in correcting your
dog without the stimulation, however, only leave
the collar on for 8-hours at a time if the stainless
steel contact points are still being utilized.
