TRAINING GUIDE
Proper training is essential to achieving the best results from the
Sunbeam® Advanced Bark Control Collar. For best results, prior to use
of the bark collar, you should put the collar on your dog for a few days
without turning it on. You do not want the dog to associate the collar
with the correction because the dog can become collar smart. The dog
that is collar smart will only behave when the collar is on. Your goal is to
eliminate the unwanted behavior whether the collar is on or off.
When first starting to use the bark collar you should closely monitor your
dog’s reaction to the correction. You should be inside a protected area.
The protected area should not be a cage, crate or kennel. If outside, your
dog should be in a safe protected area so that it cannot run away when it
receives a correction from the bark collar.
Each dog can have a different reaction to the correction it receives from
the bark collar. Reactions can vary from a dip of the head, to shaking the
head, whining, excessive barking, confusion or running away. In the event
of an extreme reaction or aggression, wait until your dog is calm before
approaching your dog.
The bark collar should be used when you want to deter unwanted
barking. Do not leave the bark collar on your dog when you are not
present. Consistently using the bark collar at the right time will give
you the best results. The more disciplined you are when using the bark
collar the better your dog will understand that unwanted barking is not
acceptable.
It is important for the training process to be interactive. Once your dog
has received a correction and stopped the unwanted barking you should
reward your dog with a treat or praise.
