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. Some dogs will bark more, and as the Static Correction from the Bark Control
Collar may be surprising or startling, some dogs may vocalize in response to the initial correction.
Rarely, a dog may get into a bark-correction-bark-correction cycle that could be quite overwhelming.
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, some dog owners feel that the problem has been solved,
but in most cases the learning process is still not complete. Most 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.
