What to Expect During Use of the Bark Control Collar
Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a correction.
Place the Rechargeable Bark Control Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks.
Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Bark Control Collar is disrupting their urge to bark
and will relax and stop barking. Because the static correction from the Bark Control Collar may be
surprising or startling at first, some dogs may bark more at the initial correction.
On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-correction-bark-correction cycle. If this happens,
reassure your dog with calm, soothing tones. As your dog relaxes, he will understand that if he
becomes quiet, he will not receive any more static corrections. The small minority of dogs that
have this reaction will only have it the first time they wear the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the first couple of days that he wears
the Bark Control Collar. At this point, it is important to remember the learning process is still not
complete. Dogs will “test” this new learning experience and will increase their attempts to bark.
This usually occurs during the second week a dog wears the Bark Control Collar. If this does
occur, remain consistent and do not alter your use of the Bark Control Collar. You must place
the Bark Control Collar on your dog in every situation when you expect him to be quiet. If your
dog is not wearing the Bark Control Collar, he may resume barking and his learning would suffer
a setback.
