c. Imitate “barking” by shouting “HOW” or “WOW” right into the
bark detector hole. Do it loudly and do not hesitate. Repeat
several times in case the collar does not go off the rst time.
d. The collar goes off by beeping and vibrating the rst time it
detects barking.
e. Repeat Step “c” within 30 seconds after the collar goes off and
immediately place the plastic tester over the metal prongs.
Ensure the wires inside the tester are in consistent contact with
the prongs of the collar.
f. The collar goes off by beeping, vibrating and distributing electric shock. During the shock
stage, the LED inside the tester will glow for one second.
If the test fails at any step please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the end of this manual.
Strap length and collar placement
Your bark collar comes pre-assembled making it easy to get started. Adjust the length of the woven
strap to your dog by placing it in a comfortable place on your dog’s neck.
Make sure the device is OFF before putting the collar on your dog.
9The collar must t snugly enough so that it does not move around on your dog’s neck.
9The electronic unit must be placed right on the windpipe (vocal cord). Do not shift it to either
side of the neck.
9The prongs with metal electrodes and silicone caps on should have consistent contact with your
dog’s skin if you use the RED training program. Thin or shave the hair in the contact area if
necessary.
Remember: Proper strap length and placement will provide the best results for your bark
collar.
Adjusting the sensitivity level
The default sensitivity level is “5”. Adjust the sensitivity based on the needs of your dog. If you notice
the collar goes off too often even when the dog does not bark, lower the sensitivity for better results
(refer to Controls and Settings section for details).
Conversely, if the device does not go off when your dog does bark adjust the sensitivity gradually to
a higher level.
Before you start training
1. Make sure you’ve put the protective silicone caps on the metal electrodes.
2. Choose your training program. We recommend starting with the GREEN training program.
If you do not achieve the desired results, you can always switch to the RED training program.
3. Make sure you’ve performed all of the testing procedures.
4. Make sure you’ve adjusted the strap length and put the collar on your dog’s neck properly.
5. Start using the device by turning it ON and adjusting the sensitivity level if necessary.
