• This product is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children. Use it only as a bark deterrent.
• 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 a pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Regularly recheck the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. However, never shave the dog’s
neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
• Never connect a leash to a collar with contact points. It will cause excessive pressure on the
contact points.
• When connecting a leash to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on the
receiver collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contact points of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.

How it Works
The Premier Pet™Spray Bark Collar effectively deters barking when it is worn. The Spray Bark
Collar has a unique sensor that provides the most reliable bark detection available. This ensures
no other noises besides your dog barking will activate the collar. The collar works with unscented
or citronella spray. Both spray options are safe and will distract your dog and interrupt the
unwanted behavior.
As an added safety feature, the Spray Bark Collar will automatically shut off for 3 minutes if your
dog barks 15 times or more within a 50-second period.
Fit & Test the Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of the Spray 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.
1. Make sure that the collar is turned off.
2. Start with your dog standing comfortably. Place the collar
on your pet so that the Premier Pet™logo is is right side up
and the Microphone’s opening facing inward. Direct the
Spray Nozzle toward the dog’s snout. (A).
3. Check the tightness of the collar by inserting one finger
between the end of a contact point and your dog’s neck (B).
The fit should be snug but not constricting.
4. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes,
and then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog
becomes more comfortable with the collar.
NOTE: For long-haired dogs, it may be necessary to trim the
neck hairs along the path of the spray. It is important that the
spray reaches the dog’s snout to be effective.
To Re-Thread the Collar
• The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose
around your pet’s neck.
• The ridges must be facing up; the collar will slip if it is not
properly threaded.

Ensure Proper Spray Pattern
For the Premier Pet™Spray Bark Collar to perform properly, the nozzle
must be positioned correctly and there must be a clear path from the
spray nozzle to your dog’s snout. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the collar is upright and the spray nozzle is angled out and
pointing up towards the dog’s snout. For long-haired dogs, it may
be necessary to trim the neck hairs along the path of the spray. It is
important that the spray reaches the dog’s snout to be effective.
NOTE: It is important the collar is fit properly for the Spray Bark Collar to
be effective. Please refer to the Fit the Collar instructions.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation.
What to Expect
Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he wears the Spray Bark Collar.
Place the Spray Bark Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks. Most dogs will
understand very quickly that the Spray Bark Collar is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and
stop barking. Because the burst of Citronella Spray from the Spray Bark Collar may be surprising
or startling at first, some dogs may bark more at the initial stimlulation. On rare occasions, a dog
may get into a bark-spray-bark-spray 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 spray bursts. The small minority of dogs that have this reaction should only have it the first
time they wear the Spray Bark Collar. You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the
first couple of days that he wears the Spray 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 Spray
Bark Collar. If this does occur, remain consistent and do not alter your use of the Spray Bark Collar.
You must place the Spray Bark Collar on your dog in every situation when you expect him to be
quiet. If your dog is not wearing the Spray Bark Collar, he may resume barking and his learning
would suffer a setback.
Tips & Maintenance
• Clean your dog’s hair weekly with a washcloth and a mild hand soap. Rinse and dry your dog’s

premierpet.com 7
neck thoroughly.
• Wipe the Spray Bark Collar clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly once a month or
as needed.
