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