How it Works
The PetSafe
®
Rechargeable Bark Control Collar uses several features designed to shorten the training phase
and promote good behavior.
First, the bark control collar has a unique sensor that provides the most reliable bark detection available. It
also uses temperament learning to decrease and, in most cases, eliminate nuisance barking.
The system has 15 levels of static correction. It begins with low-level corrections. If excessive barking
continues, the correction intensity will increase with each successive bark until the barking stops. Once
the dog has learned to reduce the barking, the initial warning corrections are reduced. As a built-in safety
feature, if your dog barks 15 times or more within a 1 minute 20 second period, the bark control collar will
automatically shut off for 3 minutes.
Fitting the Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of the bark collar is important for
effective operation. The contact points must have direct contact with your
dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.
1. Make sure that the collar is turned off.
2. Start with your dog standing comfortably (

).
3. Place the collar on your pet so that the PetSafe
®
logo is
right side up and the collar is directly under your dog’s
chin. Center the contact points underneath your dog’s
neck, touching the skin (

).
NOTE:
It is sometimes
necessary to trim the hair around the contact points to
make sure that contact is consistent. However, you should
never shave your pet’s neck as this may increase risk of
skin irritation.
4. Check the tightness of the collar by inserting one finger between the end of a
contact point and your dog’s neck (
C
). The fit should be snug but not constricting.
5. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the fit.
Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable with the collar.
