Frequently Asked Questions

Will my dog stop 
barking completely?

• The Bark Control Collar effectively and 

humanely stops all barking when it is 
worn. It should only be worn during 
periods of unwanted barking.

Will another dog’s 
bark set off the Bark 
Control Collar?

• No.

Is the Bark Control 
Collar safe and 
humane?

• Yes. The Bark Control Collar is designed to 

get your dog’s attention, not to punish him. 
However, the initial Static Correction may 
startle your dog.

Will the Bark 
Control Collar work 
for my dog?

• The Bark Control Collar is safe and 

effective for all breeds and sizes of dogs, 
however, it is recommended for big dogs.

Can I attach a leash 
to the Bark Control 
Collar?

• No. This can result in pulling the Contact 

Points too tightly against your dog’s neck. 
Attach a leash to a separate, non-metallic 
collar or a harness, making sure the extra 
collar does not put pressure on the Contact 
Points.
