What to Expect During Use of the  

NoBark 10R

Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few 

times he receives a correction.
Place the NoBark 10R properly on your dog and wait nearby 

until he barks. Most dogs will understand quickly that the 

NoBark 10R is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax 

and stop barking. Because the correction may be surprising 

or startling at first, some dogs may bark more at the initial 

correction.
On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-correction-bark-

correction 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 more corrections. Of the 

few dogs that have this reaction, it usually occurs only the first 

time they wear the NoBark 10R.
You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within 

the first couple of days that he wears the NoBark 10R. At this 

point, it is important to remember the learning process is still 

not complete. Dogs will “test” the new learning experience 

and will increase their attempts to bark. This usually occurs 

during the second week a dog wears the NoBark 10R. If this 

does occur, remain consistent and do not alter your use of the 

NoBark 10R. You must place the NoBark 10R on your dog in 

every situation when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is 

not wearing the NoBark 10R, he may resume barking and his 

learning would suffer a setback.
