Using the Collar
Recommended Bark Control Program
Step 1
Start by selecting the Normal Mode, and enable SHOCK Correction.
(See the Quick Reference section)
With this setting the rst detected bark produces only a short corrective
tone to get the dog’s attention. Subsequent barks produce increasingly
more frequent and longer sequential tones and shocks (if enabled) so
it becomes more annoying for the dog to continue barking. If however
the dog continues to bark because it is frightened or confused, the intel-
ligent processing will shutoff all corrections for 20 seconds to let the dog
recover.
Step 2
When the dog is responding well to the training, you may choose to
select the Anti-Intruder Mode™. This mode allows the dog to bark when
it feels threatened, without receiving a correction.
Most dogs instinctively “rapid-bark” when threatened. This
consists of a group of three or more joined barks in one
breath. The BT-3 super intelligent Anti-Intruder™ mode
ignores any rapid bark group of three or more barks, and
allows your dog to respond to an intruder without receiving a
correction.
If your dog develops a habit of rapid barking when there is no danger
present, go back to Step 1 to break this habit.
Step 3
When your dog is completely broken from the habit of barking, you may
try disabling SHOCK Correction. The collar will still produce correc-
tion tones when a bark is detected, and the dog by now has a strong
association of the tone with a shock. So the tone should be enough to
snap them out of unconscious barking. Tone-only correction is also less
stressful to the dog when an external sound triggers an unnecessary
correction. However if the dog ever reverts back to uncontrolled barking,
re-enable SHOCK Correction.
