Collar operating options
As a management aid
Simply put the anti-bark collar on your dog and allow the spray to interrupt and stop your dog’s barking.
The spray should have an immediate effect, but it’s possible your dog will associate that the spray only
appears when he’s wearing the collar and may resume barking when the collar is removed.
When wearing the anti-bark collar your dog will quickly learn that there is a consequence for
barking. He should completely acclimate to the collar within a few days.
As a training aid
This method will require you to spend a significant amount of time interacting (the length of
time will differ depending on your dog) with your dog reinforcing quiet behavior and teaching
a « quiet » command.
Your dog will need to wear the
Dogtek® NoBark Spray
collar for several days without turning
it on to get accustomed to it. Once he’s comfortable wearing the collar you can begin the
training process.
Failure to secure the collar strap will increase the likelihood that the strap will slip causing a
need to constantly adjust the fit. The assembled collar should look as shown.
Test the spray device:
Before every use, it’s recommended to test the spray action by turning
the device ON and blowing forcefully into the microphone.
Properly fitting the collar
Remove all other collars. Place the
Dogtek® NoBark Spray
collar around your dog’s neck so
that the spray valve is directed upwards toward his muzzle. Adjust the strap. When properly
fitted, you should only be able to slip two fingers under the collar.
NOTE:
AFTER THE COLLAR HAS BEEN FITTED, WE ADVISE YOU TO CUT THE EXCESS STRAP LENGTH THAT COULD
BOTHER YOUR DOG. TO DO SO, PLEASE REMOVE THE COLLAR OF YOUR DOG’S NECK, CUT THE EXCESS OFF WITH A
PAIR OF SCISSORS, AND THEN BURN THE END OF THE STRAP TO PREVENT FRAYING.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THAT THE COLLAR IS FITTED PROPERLY, WORKING CORRECTLY, AND THAT YOUR DOG HAS
BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE HIM UNATTENDED WHILE WEARING THE DEVICE.
