This document describes the Dog Training Bark Collar User Guide DB400, a device designed to assist in dog training and bark correction.
Function Description
The device consists of a remote control and an anti-bark collar, offering both manual remote training and automatic anti-bark modes. The remote control allows for the manual triggering of beep, vibrate, and shock stimuli across two channels (Channel 1 and Channel 2) for remote training. An "Anti Bark Mode" (Channel A) is also available, where the collar automatically triggers a response when the dog barks. The collar is designed to help correct unwanted barking behavior and can be adjusted for sensitivity and intensity levels.
Important Technical Specifications
Remote Control:
- Channels: 3 (Channel 1, Channel 2 for Remote Training Mode; Channel A for Anti Bark Mode).
- Stimuli: Beep, Vibrate, Shock.
- Shock/Vibration Intensity Dial: Adjustable from 0 to 100 levels for Channel 1 and Channel 2. The current intensity in use is 40 levels. Beep mode is a non-adjustable level.
- LED Indicator Light: Stays on during charging, turns off when fully charged, flashes when buttons are pressed, blinks every 3 seconds in standby mode (up to 20 minutes), and blinks twice per second when charging is needed.
- Battery Life: Approximately 2 hours for a full charge.
- Antenna: Built-in.
Anti Bark Collar:
- Modes: Beep, Vibrate, Shock (automatic in Anti Bark Mode, manual in Remote Training Mode).
- Anti Bark Mode Sequences:
- Beep Mode: 1st and 2nd bark: Beep (1.5s, 2s); 3rd bark: Shock (2s, 1.5s, intensity 100). Resets after 30 seconds of no barking.
- Vibrate Mode: 1st bark: Beep (1.5s); 2nd and 3rd bark: Vibrate (1.5s+2s); 4th bark: Shock (2s+1.5s, intensity 100). Resets after 30 seconds of no barking.
- Shock Mode: 1st bark: Beep (1.5s); 2nd to 5th bark: Shock (1.5s+1s, 1.5s+2s, 1.5s+1.5s) based on settings. Resets after 30 seconds of no barking.
- Safety Feature (Anti Bark Mode): If continuous stimulus reaches 5 times, the collar stops working for 30 seconds to protect the dog, with the LED light flashing for 30 seconds.

- Contact Points: Metal probes designed to touch the dog's skin. Longer probes are available for dogs with thicker fur.
- Collar Size: Adjustable to fit dog necks between 9" and 26". Not suitable for dogs under 10 pounds or necks outside this range.
- Bark Detection: Utilizes vibration to identify barks, preventing false triggers from other dogs.

- Warranty: 1-YEAR warranty from the date of purchase, covering defects in workmanship or materials. Excludes secondhand products, water damage, improper installation/use, unauthorized removal/modification/repair.
- FCC Compliance: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, ensuring it does not cause harmful interference and accepts any interference received.
Usage Features
Getting Started:
- Fully charge both the collar and remote for approximately 2 hours before first use.
- Consult a veterinarian or certified trainer if unsure about suitability for your dog, especially if the dog is aggressive.
- Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
Fitting the Collar:
- Ensure the collar is snugly fitted, allowing one or two fingers between the contact points and the dog's skin.
- Both metal probe contact points must firmly touch the dog's neck skin for effective operation, especially in Shock Mode.
- If the collar strap is too long, excess material can be cut off, and the end should be burned to prevent fraying.
Turning the Collar On/Off:
- On: Click the button on the collar once (short vibrate confirms).
- Off: Quickly double-click the button on the collar (long vibrate confirms).
Pairing the Collar with Remote (Remote Training Mode):
- The collar is typically pre-paired to Channel 1 (and a second collar to Channel 2 if applicable).
- To pair:
- Set the remote toggle switch to Channel 1.
- Hold the button on the collar for 3 seconds (1st beep, LED flashes green).
- Within 10 seconds, press and hold the beep and vibrate buttons on the remote (2nd beep confirms pairing).
- Verify by pressing the shock button with the test light over the contact points.
- Adjust intensity using the dial (0-100).
Using Anti Bark Mode:
- Change the remote toggle switch to Channel A.
- Select desired Anti Bark Mode (Beep, Vibrate, or Shock) by pressing the corresponding button on the remote (one beep for Beep Mode, two for Vibrate, three for Shock).
- Set sensitivity level (1-5) by pressing the button on the collar for 0.5 seconds (1 beep for Level 1, 2 beeps for Level 2, etc., long beep for Level 5). Do not hold for over 3 seconds to avoid entering pairing status.
Testing Anti Bark Mode:
- Ensure contact points touch the dog's skin.
- The collar detects barks via vibration. If a bark doesn't cause vibration against the sensor, it won't work.
- Faux sounds can be used to provoke behavior for testing.
Important Usage Notes:
- Do NOT attach a leash to the training collar to prevent injury from excessive pressure on contact points. Use a separate, non-metallic collar or harness for a leash.
- Humans may react less to stimulation than dogs; use fingertips to test contact points and adjust intensity.
- If the remote doesn't work or connection weakens, check if the antenna is blocked. Hold the remote out and away from your body, or above your head for ideal range.
- Ensure the device is fully charged for optimal performance.
Maintenance Features
- Battery Life Extension: Fully charge the collar before leaving it idle for extended periods, and charge it monthly.
- Waterproof Integrity: Always ensure the rubber cover on the USB charging port is fully sealed after charging to maintain waterproofing.
- Skin Health: Examine the dog's neck daily for signs of rash or sores (pressure ulcers/bed sores). Discontinue use if found and consult a veterinarian if conditions persist beyond 48 hours.
- Collar Repositioning: Reposition the collar on the dog's neck every 1 to 2 hours if possible.
- Cleaning: Wash the dog's neck area and the collar's contacts weekly with a damp cloth.
- Troubleshooting Random Triggers: If the collar randomly beeps or vibrates, water may have entered. Remove the collar, unscrew, wipe out water stains on the circuit board and shell, allow to dry, then re-install.
- Customer Service: Contact customer service (via Amazon or email: DB500A1@outlook.com) for installation questions, product usage, or if the device needs replacement or repair.
