What to Expect During Use of the
Bark Control Collar
Important:
Do not leave your dog alone the fi rst few times he receives a
static stimulation.
Place the Bark Control Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks.
Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Bark Control Collar is disrupting their
urge to bark and will relax and stop barking. Because the static stimulation from the
Bark Control Collar may be surprising or startling at fi rst, some dogs may bark more
when they receive the initial static stimulation.
On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-static stimulation-bark-static
stimulation 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 static stimulations. The small minority of dogs that have this reaction will only
have it the fi rst time they wear the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the fi rst couple of days
that he wears the Bark Control 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 Bark Control Collar. If this does occur, remain consistent and do
not alter your use of the Bark Control Collar. You must place the Bark Control Collar
on your dog in every situation when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not
wearing the Bark Control Collar, he may resume barking and his learning would
suffer a setback.
