Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions
in this manual. Proper t of the collar is important. A collar
worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may
cause skin damage. This is called bed sores; it is also called
decubitus ulcers or pressure necrosis.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours
per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every
1 to 2 hours.
• Check the t to prevent excessive pressure; follow the
instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a leash to the electronic collar; it will cause
excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a leash, don’t put pressure
on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar
weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until
the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your
veterinarian.

necrosis, please visit our website.

These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable.
Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless
steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure.
You may nd after some time that your pet is very tolerant
of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions.
It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area.
If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin
has fully healed.
• The Bark Control Collar must be used only on healthy dogs.
We recommend that you take your dog to a veterinarian
before using the collar if he is not in good health.
• Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of
skin irritation.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required
for good contact. A collar that is too tight will increase the
risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.

How the System Works
The PetSafe®Barkender™ Bark Control Collar effectively and humanely stops
barking when it is worn. When the vibration of your dog’s bark triggers the Sensor
Probe, a Static Stimulation is administered through the Contact Points. The Bark
Control Collar starts with the lowest level of Static Stimulation and then increases
through 6 levels each time your dog barks within 30 seconds of the previous bark.
If your dog does not bark again within 30 seconds, the Bark Control Collar will
reset itself to the lowest level of Static Stimulation. As an added safety feature, the
Bark Collar will automatically shut off for 3 minutes if your dog barks 15 times or
more within a 50-second period.
Important: Before playing with your dog, remove the Bark Control Collar. The
activity may cause your dog to bark, which could lead to him associating the play
with the Static Stimulation.
