Training Guide
General Tips
• Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with
training, your pet may become confused.
• Be consistent. Correct your pet every time he misbehaves.
• Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in
which he has a history of misbehaving. However, setting up a situation as a training session can
dramatically improve your chances of success.
• If your pet reacts to the tones by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and
appropriate behavior, such as the “sit” command.
• Pets should be at least 6 months old before using the Training Collar.
• Only let responsible family members use the Training Collar. It is not a toy!
• Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tones. Therefore, training sessions should
be conducted out of hearing range of other pets.
Never use the Bark Collar to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. We
recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional trainer to determine if
your pet might be aggressive. See page 2 for more information.
Teaching Your Pet the Positive Tone
Before using the Training Collar to correct your pet, spend 10 to 15 minutes per day for 2 or 3 days helping
him create the association of the tone with reward and praise. To accomplish this:
1. Push the Tone Button (yellow) for 2 consecutive seconds.
Spend 3 to 5 seconds on your rewarding.
3. Wait a few minutes and repeat holding the Tone Button for 2 seconds following with praise.
Vary the reward to prevent your pet from anticipating a specific type. This stage of training is complete
when your pet obviously anticipates a reward when he hears the positive tone.
2. Release the button and immediately reward your pet with verbal praise, petting, or a small food reward.
