trAininG Guide
Proper training is essential to achieving the best results from the Sunbeam® Mini Bark
Control Collar for you and your dog. When first starting to use the bark control collar, you
should closely monitor your dog’s reaction when barking behavior is exhibited.
When you begin using the bark control collar, your dog 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 your dog is unable to run away when they receive the correction
from the bark control collar.
Each dog can have a different reaction from the bark control collar’s correction. These
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, wait until your dog is calm
before approaching your dog.
The reaction your dog will have is dependent on your dog’s personality. The first several
times you use the bark control collar, you must be present.
