FIT THE BARK CONTROL COLLAR

IMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the Bark Control Collar is important for effective
operation. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog's skin.
See page 3 for Important Safety Information.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the unit is off.
2. With your dog standing (3A), center the
Collar Receiver so the Contact Points are
underneath your dog's neck, touching
the skin (3B). If your dog has a long
or thick coat, you have two options to
ensure consistent contact: either trim
the hair around the Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact Points included with
your system. Note: When switching to the longer Contact Points, ensure the o-rings
are attached.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog's
neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A collar
that is too tight will increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.
3. Check the tightness of the collar by inserting one finger between the end of a Contact Point
and your dog's neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting.
4. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes and then recheck the fit. Check the fit
again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the Bark Control Collar.
