What to Expect During Use of the
Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar
Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a
Static Correction.
Place the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby
until he barks. Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Deluxe
Anti-Bark Collar is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and stop
barking. Because the Static Correction from the Deluxe Anti-Bark 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-correction-bark-correction
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 Corrections. The small minority of dogs
that have this reaction will only have it the first time they wear the
Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the first
couple of days that he wears the Deluxe Anti-Bark 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
Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar. If this does occur, remain consistent and do not
alter your use of the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar. You must place the Deluxe
Anti-Bark Collar on your dog in every situation when you expect him to
be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the Deluxe Anti-Bark Collar, he may
resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
