WHAT TO EXPECT DURING USE OF THE BARK CONTROL COLLAR

IMPORTANT: Do not leave your dog alone the first 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 quickly that the Bark Control Collar is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and stop
barking. Because the static stimulation 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-stimulation-bark-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 more static stimulation. A small minority of dogs that have this reaction will only have it the first
time they wear the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the first couple of days of him wearing the Bark
Control Collar. At this point, it is important to remember the learning process is still not complete. Dogs will
"test" the new learning experience and will increase their attempts to bark. This usually occurs during the
second week that the 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 in
which you want 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.
