To Test the Vibration Bark Control Collar
1. Begin with the Collar in the “OFF“ position.
2. Turn to the “ON“ position until the LED shows Orange.
3. Immediately turn to the “OFF“ position after seeing the Orange LED.
4. Turn to the “ON“ position. The LED will flash Orange and you are now in test mode.
5. Blow into the microphone and the Orange LED will flash to indicate that the
microphone is working.
6. Scratch lightly between the Vibration Points to indicate the vibration is working.
7. If the LED light does not flash and there is no vibration, ensure that the battery is
properly installed, and/or replace the battery. If there is still no response, contact the
Customer Care Centre.
8. Turn “OFF“ to end the test mode. The test mode will also time out after
30 seconds and resume normal operation.
What to Expect During Use of the
Vibration Bark Control Collar
I
mportant: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a
Vibration Stimulation.
Place the Bark Control Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks.
Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Bark Control Collar is disrupting their
urge to bark and will relax and stop barking. Because the Vibration Stimulation from the
Bark Control Collar may be surprising or startling at first, some dogs may bark more at
the initial stimulation.
On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-stimulation-bark-stimulation cycle. If this
happens, reassure your dog with calm, soothing tones. As your dog relaxes, he will
understand that if he becomes quiet, he will not receive any more Vibration Stimulations.
The small minority of dogs that have this reaction will only have it the first time they wear
the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the first couple of days that
he wears the Bark Control Collar. At this point, it is important to remember the learning
process is still not complete. Dogs will “test“ this new learning experience and will
increase their attempts to bark. This usually occurs during the second week a dog wears
the Bark Control Collar. If this does occur, remain consistent and do not alter your use
of the Bark Control Collar. You must place the Bark Control Collar on your dog in every
situation when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the Bark Control
Collar, he may resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
