Components
• Bark Control Receiver with Adjustable Collar

• Owners Manual
• Training Manual
• Training Video (in specially marked packages only)
• Red “No Correction” Caps
• Test Light with instructions
Correction Reduction Resistors
For dogs who may be too sensitive to the correction levels, a resistor
can be purchased through customer service to reduce the level of
correction.
How It Works
The Bark Control Collar is a training device that helps reduce
nuisance barking. Please study the enclosed Training Manual
thoroughly. There are two key features of the Bark Control Collar.
The first is a mild warning sensation triggered by your dog’s first
bark. The second feature occurs when your dog barks again within
30 seconds of the first bark. This will be the first and lowest level of
correction. There are a total of 6 levels of correction that are triggered
by your dog’s successive barks. Each successive bark will increase the
correction level if the bark is within 30 seconds of the previous bark.
If your dog does not bark for at least 30 seconds the receiver resets
itself. Along with each correction there will be an audible beep. As
a built-in safety feature, when your dog barks 15 times or more in a
50 second period the collar will automatically shut off for a period
of 3 minutes.
Trimming Collar
If you have excess collar and need to trim it, fit the collar around the
dog’s neck and mark the appropriate length. Be sure to allow room
for your dog’s growth. Cut the collar and seal the edge by using a
match or lighter.
Installing Battery
Insert the six volt battery inside the receiver observing proper polarity
(polarity is labeled inside receiver). The bark-sensing probe will be
activated immediately. To avoid accidental correction do not touch
probes.
Placing the collar on your pet
Put the collar on your dog making sure the receiver is positioned at
your pet’s throat. You should be able to place one finger between the
probes and your pet’s skin.
DO make sure the probes touch skin, trim hair if necessary.
DO monitor your dog during initial use.
DON’T leave receiver collar on dog for extended periods of time.
DON’T allow dog to wear other collars or metal tags while wearing
the Bark Control Collar.
DON’T leave collar on too tight. Doing so can cause Pressure
Necrosis, a condition where the skin deteriorates. Check and clean
your pet’s neck regularly. If a rash or sore forms, take the collar off for
a few days. When replacing the collar make sure it is not too tight and
that your pet’s neck is clean.
Red “No Correction” Caps
The caps are placed over the metal probes to prevent your dog from
feeling a correction. Proper use is described in the Training Manual.
