Day One
• Choose a small food reward (about the size of a pencil eraser) that your
dog finds desirable and will accept every time.
• Make sure the mode switch is turned to the OFF position.
• Place the bark collar around your dog’s neck for 2-3 hours. Be sure the
collar is fitted in the same manner that it will be during training with
correction.
• After the collar has been on your dog’s neck for a short period of time, give
him a food reward. Repeat this reward several times.
Day Two
Repeat the above procedure, keeping the bark collar on your dog for 5-6
hours.
Day Three
This is the first day your dog should receive correction.
Training with the Bark Control System
Before placing an activated system on your dog, carefully choose the first
situation in which it will be used. The situation should be one with few
distractions. If you do train in a situation with distractions, your dog may
not associate the correction with something other than his barking. For
