The Bark Control Collar is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of chil-
dren. Use it only for its bark stopping purpose.
Risk of skin damage.
Please read and follow the instructions in this
manual. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or
made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from
redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible, reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to
2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in
this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the
electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contact area of the collar weekly
with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin
has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please

These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Some pets are
sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is
very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions.
It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or
sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
The Bark Control Collar must be used only on healthy dogs over 6 months
of age. We recommend that you take your dog to a veterinarian before
using the collar if he is not in good health.
