Quick Tip: When not using the collar, turn it off to extend battery life.
LED Function
The two color LED indicates the battery level. When the battery is low, the red LED will blink 3 times every 5
seconds. When it is fully discharged, no LED will flash. When the collar is charged, the green LED will flash
once every 5 seconds.
Fit 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 (
A
).
3. Place the collar on your pet so that the PetSafe

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 (
B
).
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.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. The collar should
not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period. Leaving the collar on
too long could lead to skin irritation.
Temperament Learning
Temperament Learning tracks the number of corrections needed to substantially reduce (and in most cases)
eliminate the number of nuisance barks. The collar starts at the lowest correction level and increases
the intensity with each successive bark until the barking stops. This correction level becomes the starting
level the next time the dog barks. Once your dog has learned to reduce this barking, the initial warning
corrections are automatically reduced.
NOTE: As a built-in safety feature, if your dog barks 15 times or more within an 80 second period, the bark
collar will automatically shut off for 3 minutes.
