Modes of Operation
Temperament Learning Normal Operation
As soon as the Bark Control unit has been turned on, the LED pattern will flash as follows:
1. The LED will turn solid Green for 1 second.
2. The LED will turn solid Orange for 2 seconds.
3. The LED will flash Green 5 times to indicate that the unit is starting normal operation and is
ready to be placed on the pet.
Note: Please see page 4 for an explanation of the Temperament Learning System.
To Reset the Correction Level:
After turning the bark control off, the Temperament Learning System retains the last correction
level that the pet responded to (Level 1-10), and uses that correction level the next time the collar
is turned on.
If you would like to reset the correction level to 1, complete the following sequence:
1. Turn the unit on.
2. The LED will turn solid Green for 1 second.
3. The LED will turn solid Orange for 2 seconds.
4. As soon as the LED is Orange turn the unit off, (this can be done by using a coin to turn the
battery module to the “OFF” position.)
5. Wait 2 seconds with the unit turned off.
6. Turn the unit on (this can be done by using a coin to turn the battery module to the “ON”
position.)
7. The LED will flash Orange 5 times to indicate that the correction level has been reset to Level
1 and the unit is starting normal operation. The unit is now ready to be placed on the pet.
What to Expect During Use of the Bark
Control Collar
Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first 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 first, 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 first time they wear the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the first 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.
