__________________________________________________________
Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product
if your dog is aggressive, or if your dog is prone to
aggressive behaviour. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury and even death
to their owner and others. If you are unsure whether this product is appropriate for
your dog, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
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. This is called bed sores; it is
also called decubitus ulcers or pressure necrosis.
WARNING
CAUTION

• 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; it will cause excessive pressure on
the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, 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.
For additional information on bed sores and pressure 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 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.

How The PetSafe
®
Deluxe Anti-Bark
Collar Works
The PetSafe® Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar has two primary features designed
to shorten the training phase and promote good behaviour.
First, the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar has a unique patented sensor that
provides the most reliable bark detection available. The Deluxe Anti-
Bark Collar uses both vibration and sound sensors (dual-detection) to
discriminate each bark from other external noises. A Static Correction is
administered through the Contact Points only if both the vibration from
the vocal chords and the sound from the bark match the same criteria.
Second, the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar has a new patent pending
Temperament Learning System design that is effective across many
dog breeds and their individual barking behaviours. The Temperament
Learning System contains software that tracks the number of corrections
needed to substantially reduce (and in most cases eliminate) the number
of nuisance barks.
The system has 10 levels of Static Correction. It begins with low-level
corrections, however, if excessive barking continues the correction
intensity will increase with each successive bark until the barking stops.
Once the dog has learned to reduce the barking, the initial warning
corrections are reduced. As a built-in safety feature, if your dog barks
15 times or more within a 1 minute 20 second period, the Deluxe Anti-
Bark Collar will automatically shut off for 3 minutes.
Important: Before playing with your dog, remove the Deluxe Anti-Bark
Collar. The activity may cause your dog to bark, which could lead to him
associating the play with the Static Correction.

Fit the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar
is important for effective operation. The Contact Points must have direct
contact with your dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the battery is in the “OFF”
position.
2. Have your dog standing comfortably.
3. Centre the Contact Points underneath your
dog’s neck, touching the skin.
YES
NO
CAUTION
You may need to trim
the hair in the area of the Contact
Points. Never shave the dog’s
neck; this may lead to a rash
or infection.
4. The PetSafe® QuickFit™ Collar is designed so you
can quickly attach and remove the Deluxe Anti-
Bark Collar from your dog while maintaining the
desired fit.
a. With the Snap Buckle fastened, thread the collar
through the Metal Buckle and Retaining Tabs.
b. Slide the excess collar through the “C” Loop on
top of the Snap Buckle. This will hold the collar
in place.
c. Once the collar fit is determined, simply use the
Snap Buckle to remove and replace the collar.

5. The Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar should fit
snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger
to fit between a Contact Point and your
dog’s neck. Allow your dog to wear the
collar for several minutes, then recheck the
fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes
more comfortable with the Deluxe Anti-
Bark Collar.
CAUTION
You should not make the collar any more tight than is
required for good contact. A collar that is too tight will increase the
risk of pressure
necrosis in the contact area.
6. Trim the collar as follows:
a. Measure 11 cm (4 1/2") from the tongue of the metal buckle and
mark with a pen.
b. Remove the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar from your dog and cut
off excess.
