What to Expect During Use of the Spray Collar
Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he wears the Spray Collar.
Place the Spray Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks. Most dogs will
understand very quickly that the Spray Collar is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and
stop barking. Because the burst of spray from the Spray Collar 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-spray-bark-spray 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 any more spray bursts. The small minority of dogs that have this
reaction should only have it the first time they wear the Spray Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the first couple of days that he
wears the Spray Collar. At this point, it is important to remember the learning process is still not
complete. Dogs will “test” this new learning experience and will increase their attempts to bark.
This usually occurs during the second week a dog wears the Spray Collar. If this does occur,
remain consistent and do not alter your use of the Spray Collar. You must place the Spray Collar
on your dog in every situation when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the
Spray Collar, he may resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
Tips and Maintenance
• Before playing with your dog, turn the device off and remove it from your dog. The activity may
cause your dog to bark, which could lead to him associating the play with the burst of spray.
• The Spray Collar must be filled to maximum capacity before placing it around your dog’s neck.
• Never fill the Spray Collar while your dog is wearing it because it may damage the Refill Port.
• To ensure that your dog does not make the connection between you and the Spray Collar,
don’t let him see you prepare the Spray Collar for the first try, or for subsequent use. Keep your
dog away while you prepare the Spray Collar as well as when you fill it or change the battery.
• Remove all other collars with metallic parts or tags. These could create noise that may
needlessly activate the Spray Collar.
• Avoid letting your dog wear the Spray Collar with an empty reservoir. Make sure it is always full.
• Turn off the Spray Collar while not in use.
• The Spray Collar should only be used with pets that are over 6 months of age.
• If your pet is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or
professional trainer before use.
• Do not leave your Spray Collar unattended where your dog could accidentally damage it
through chewing.
• Never fill the Spray Collar with any substance other than the one provided by the manufacturer.
Using another substance, as well as opening the device, will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. This will invalidate the warranty and make repairs
more difficult.
• The spray from the Spray Collar may stick to the hair under your dogs snout. Clean your dog’s
hair weekly with a washcloth and a mild hand soap. Rinse and dry your dog’s neck thoroughly.
• If the spray accumulates on the Spray Collar, wipe the receiver clean with a damp cloth and
dry thoroughly.
