To Turn the Collar Off
Press and hold the power button until the bark collar beeps high to low, and then release. The red LED will be
illuminated during the button press and will turn off when the bark collar turns off.
Quick Tip: When not using the collar, turn it off to extend battery life.
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 (

).
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 (
2C
). 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.
