Do’s and Don’ts
• The collar should be worn only during periods of nuisance barking and no more than eight hours
perday.
• The collar must be filled to maximum capacity before placing it around your dog’s neck.
• Never fill the device while your dog is wearing it because it may damage the fill-up valve.
• To ensure that your dog does not make the connection between you and the spray collar, don’t let
him see you prepare the device, neither for the first try, nor for subsequent use. Keep your dog away
while you prepare the device as well as when you fill it or change the battery. A B C
• It is important that your dog’s hair doesn’t block the spray valve. Try tying a bandanna
(handkerchief) around your dog’s neck, then place the spray collar over. If necessary, you may also
consider trimming a little of the long hair around the dog’s throat for better spray effect.
• Remove all other collars with metallic parts or tags. These could create noise that may needlessly
activate the spraying device.
• Never fasten a lead to the Spray Bark Control.
• Avoid letting your dog wear the device with an empty reservoir. Make sure it is always full.
• Turn OFF the device while not in use.
• The system should only be used with pets who are over 6 months of age. If your pet is injured or its
mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or professional trainer before use.
Important Remarks

2. The PetSafe®Spray Bark Control 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.

go for a swim.

to wipe away dirt.

throughchewing.
6. Make sure that the batteries you are using are still adequate to operate the device. The device
requires 3 volt CR2 batteries, easily available from PetSafe®.
7. The microphone is calibrated so it won’t be activated by nearby sounds. However, the barking of
another dog at close range could cause the device to spray.
8. Never fill the device with any other substance than the one provided by the manufacturer. Using
another substance, as well as opening the device, will void the manufacturer’swarranty.
9. If your dog tries to take off the device, a harness can be used instead of the collar provided in the kit.
10. The hypo-allergenic spray can is a pressurized container. Do not pierce it, heat it or dispose of it in a
fire as it may explode.
11 . Do not expose the device neither to freezing temperatures nor to conditions warmer than 45°C. Be
particularly careful not to leave the device in direct sunlight, either by a window or in a car on a
summer day, etc.
12. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. This will invalidate the warranty, and make repairing
more difficult. If the spray collar doesn’t work, call our customer service centre.
