Do’s and Don’ts
• The collar should be worn only during periods of nuisance barking and no more than eight
hours per day.
• The collar must be filled to maximum capacity before placing it around your dog’s neck.
• Never fill the device while your dog is wearing it because it may damage the fill-up valve.
• To ensure that your dog does not make the connection between you and the spray collar,
don’t let him see you prepare the device, neither for the first try, nor for subsequent use. Keep
your dog away while you prepare the device as well as when you fill it or change the battery.

• It is important that your dog’s hair doesn’t block the spray valve. Try tying a bandanna
(handkerchief) around your dog’s neck, then place the spray collar over. If necessary,
you may also consider trimming a little of the long hair around the dog’s throat for better
spray effect.
• Remove all other collars with metallic parts or tags. These could create noise that may
needlessly activate the spraying device.
• Never fasten a lead to the Spray Bark Control.
• Avoid letting your dog wear the device with an empty reservoir. Make sure it is always full.
• Turn OFF the device while not in use.
• The system should only be used with pets who are over 6 months of age. If your pet is
injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or professional trainer
before use.
Important Remarks
1. This device is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children. Use it only for its bark-
stopping purpose.
2. The PetSafe
®
Spray Bark Control must be used only on healthy dogs. We recommend that
you take your dog to a veterinarian before using the collar if he is not in good health.
3. The Bark Collar is splash proof but not completely watertight. Remove it each time your dog
wants to go for a swim.
4. Keep the device clean at all times. Do not immerse it in water when cleaning. Simply use a dry
cloth to wipe away dirt.
5. Do not leave your device unattended where your dog could get a hold of it and damage it
through chewing.
6. Make sure that the batteries you are using are still adequate to operate the device. The
device requires 3 volt CR2 batteries, easily available from PetSafe
®
.
7. The microphone is calibrated so it won’t be activated by nearby sounds. However, the
barking of another dog at close range could cause the device to spray.
8. Never fill the device with any other substance than the one provided by the manufacturer.
Using another substance, as well as opening the device, will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
9. If your dog tries to take off the device, a harness can be used instead of the collar provided
in the kit.
10. The hypo-allergenic spray can is a pressurized container. Do not pierce it, heat it or dispose
of it in a fire as it may explode.
