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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• The PetSafe®Deluxe Anti-Bark 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.

How the System 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 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 t 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.
Please refer to page 2 for important safety information.
To assure a proper t, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the battery is in the “OFF” position.
2. Have your dog standing comfortably (A).
3. Centre the Contact Points underneath your dog’s neck,
touching the skin (B).
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 Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar should t snugly, yet loose enough
to allow one nger to t between a Contact Point and your dog’s
neck (C). Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes,
then recheck the t. Check the t again as your dog becomes
more comfortable with the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar.
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.
5. Trim the collar as follows (D):
a. Mark the desired length of the Deluxe Anti-
Bark Collar with a pen. Allow for growth if
your dog is young or grows a thick
winter coat.
b. Remove the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar from
your dog and cut off the excess.
c. Before placing the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar
back onto your dog, seal the edge of the cut
collar by applying a ame along the frayed edge.

Care and Cleaning
• Your dog’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a damp cloth.
• Be sure that your pet’s neck is thoroughly dry before placing the Bark Collar back on his neck.
Risk of skin damage.
•For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this product, please ensure that
you check the fit of your pet’s collar frequently. If any skin irritation
is observed, discontinue the use of the collar for a few days. If the
condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
•Do not attach a lead to the collar. This can result in pulling the Contact
Points too tightly against your pet’s neck. Attach a lead to a separate,
non-metallic collar or harness, making sure the extra collar does not put
pressure on the Contact Points.
ON/OFF Battery Module
The PetSafe®Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar is packaged with the battery module installed in the
“OFF” position. To activate the collar, use a coin to turn the Battery Module counter clockwise
until the arrow lines up with the “ON” position. If the PetSafe®Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar is not
going to be used on the dog immediately leave it in the “OFF” position.
To Insert and Remove the Battery
Note: Do not install the battery while the Deluxe Anti-
Bark Collar is on your dog.
1. Align the triangles on the battery and the Deluxe
Anti-Bark Collar (A).
2. Use a coin to turn the battery clockwise until the
triangle lines up with the “ON” position if you are
putting it on the dog or the “OFF” position if it is
not being put on the dog right away (B).
3. To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-
clockwise using a coin (C, D).
DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the
used battery properly.

This Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar utilizes a replaceable PetSafe®battery (RFA-188). This unique battery
is designed to make battery replacement easier and increase water protection.
A replacement PetSafe®battery (RFA-188) can be found at many retailers. Contact the Customer
Care Centre or visit our web site at www.petsafe.net to locate a retailer near you.
Battery Life
Average battery life is 3 to 6 months, depending on how often your dog barks. However,
due to greater use during your dog’s training, your rst battery may not last as long as
replacement batteries. To conserve battery life, turn to the “OFF” position when the Deluxe
Anti-Bark Collar is not in use.
Three Colour LED
The three colour LED indicator shows good or low battery or reset function. Good battery
equals 1 ash every 5 seconds with Green LED. Low battery equals 3 ashes every 5
seconds with the Red LED. If there are no LED lights it is time to change the battery. The LED
will ash Orange 5 times to indicate that the correction level has been reset.
Modes of Operation
Temperament Learning Normal Operation
As soon as the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar has been turned on, the LED pattern will ash
as follows:
1. The LED will turn solid Green for 1 second.
2. The LED will turn solid Orange for 2 seconds.
3. The LED will ash Green 5 times to indicate that the unit is starting normal operation and is
ready to be placed on the pet.
Note: Please see “How the System Works” for an explanation of the Temperament
Learning System.
To Reset the Correction Level:
After turning the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar off, the Temperament Learning System retains the last
correction level that the pet responded to (Level 1-10), and uses that correction level the next
time the collar is turned on.
If you would like to reset the correction level to 1, complete the following sequence:
1. Turn the unit on.
2. The LED will turn solid Green for 1 second.
3. The LED will turn solid Orange for 2 seconds.
4. As soon as the LED is Orange turn the unit off, (this can be done by using a coin to turn the
battery module to the “OFF” position.)
5. Wait 2 seconds with the unit turned off.
6. Turn the unit on (this can be done by using a coin to turn the battery module to the
“ON” position.)
7. The LED will ash Orange 5 times to indicate that the correction level has been reset to
Level 1 and the unit is starting normal operation. The unit is now ready to be placed on
the pet.

What to Expect During Use of the
Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar
Important: Do not leave your dog alone the rst few times he receives a Static Correction.
Place the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks.
Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar is disrupting their urge
to bark and will relax and stop barking. Because the Static Correction from the Deluxe Anti-
Bark Collar may be surprising or startling at rst, 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 rst time they wear the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the rst couple of days that he
wears the Deluxe Anti-Bark 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 Deluxe
Anti-Bark Collar. If this does occur, remain consistent and do not alter your use of the Deluxe
Anti-Bark Collar. You must place the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar on your dog in every situation
when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar, he
may resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
