The Bark Control Collar is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of chil-
dren. Use it only for its bark stopping purpose.
Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this
manual. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or
made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from
redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• 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 fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in
thismanual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the
electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contact area 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.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please
visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Some pets are
sensitive to contact pressure. You may find 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 over 6 months
of age. We recommend that you take your dog to a veterinarian before
using the collar if he is not in good health.

How It Works
The Spray Bark Control was designed to assist you in training your dog and controlling his nui-
sance barking. Its comforting effect allows dogs to adapt easily and quietly to their environment
while providing peace of mind to their owners.
The Spray Bark Control is highly efficient because it distracts the animal’s primary sensory
perceptions in a harmless, painless way. The system works automatically and requires no human
intervention. Your dog will stop barking while wearing the collar. However, the effect of the Spray
Bark Control is not permanent. If you stop using the collar, your dog will eventually resume bark-
ing. In order to reduce barking permanently without constantly using the device, you will have to
combine the spray bark collar with proper training and elements of behaviour modification. For
more information on this particular topic please refer to our website at www.petsafe.net.

Adjusting the collar to the spray device
1. Remove the keeper from the black collar (A). Pass the black collar (B) through the loops of the
spray device (C). Put the keeper back on the collar (D). The curved edge of the keeper should
face inward.
2. Feed the free end of the collar into the slot of the buckle that is closest to the PetSafe®logo,
from the back to the front (E). Then, thread the free end of the collar through the outside slot,
from the front to the back (F). The free end should now hang on the outside, then thread the
keeper (G). When you have completed this section, the assembled collar looks as shown (H).
Take off all other collars your dog may be wearing and place the spray collar
around his neck, making sure the spray valve is directed toward the snout.
Adjust the collar to fit like a regular collar. You should be able to easily pass
two fingers between your dog’s neck and the device (I). We suggest that
you check the collar regularly to make sure that it is well adjusted.
Note: If these instructions are not properly followed, the buckle can easily
be pulled off the collar. This could lead to the device being lost or damaged.
Your dog must get used to the device before you actually start using it. We
suggest that you make your dog wear the Spray Bark Control 4 to 5 days
before inserting the battery and filling the device. At the same time, we also
suggest that you remove and put the collar back on your dog frequently.
Filling the device
The Spray Bark Control has a see-through reservoir with a level indicator to help you see when
your reservoir is getting empty (J).
1. Set the device on a flat surface with the fill-up valve (the deepest cavity) turned upwards (K).
Shake the spray can before using it.
2. Hold the can upside down, then insert the aerosol tip in the fill-up valve (L) – press down
firmly for 10 seconds (M). Release pressure and press down for another 10 seconds, then
release.

.
Note: If spray is escaping as you attempt to fill the device, increase the downward pressure on
the refill can to get a better seal. When completely filled, there should be enough gas in your
device for 18-23sprays.
Inserting the battery
The battery compartment is on the same side as the fill-up valve (N). Remove the battery cover by
twisting it and insert the 3-volt battery (the + end first) (O). Twist the cover back on (a coin can be
used to help you remove and put back the cover) (P).
Note: If the red light flickers three consecutive times, the collar battery is low and needs to be
changed.
Turning on the device
To turn on the device, press the grey button on the front of the device (Q).
The green light will flash once, indicating the power is on; the green light will
flicker every few seconds. Your device, already preset in short spray mode,
is now ready to function. To change to a longer spray, press the same grey
button once. The green light will flash twice to confirm the new spray setting.
To go back to the shorter spray, press the button once again. The green light
will flash once to confirm the change. You can switch spray settings at will by simply pressing the
grey button.
Turning off the device
To turn off the device, press the grey button until the red light flashes twice. The green light will no
longerflicker.
Note: Before every use, it is best to test the device by blowing into the microphone.
Adjust the spray collar onto the dog’s neck with the on/off button facing
outward and the fill-up valve and battery cover facing downward (R).
Your Spray Bark Control will now react when your dog barks. Training, in
addition to the use of the device, will accelerate and consolidate the desired
behaviour modification.

Do’s and Don’ts
• The collar should be worn only during periods of nuisance barking and no more than eight
hours perday.
• 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
1. This device is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children. Use it only for its bark-
stoppingpurpose.
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.
3. The Bark Collar is splash proof but not completely watertight. Remove it each time your dog
wants to go for a swim.
4. Keep the device clean at all times. Do not immerse it in water when cleaning. Simply use a dry
cloth to wipe away dirt.
5. Do not leave your device unattended where your dog could get a hold of it and damage it
throughchewing.
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’swarranty.
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.
