What to Expect During Use of the Bark Control Collar

Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a correction.
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 ultrasonic correction from the Bark
Control 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 ultrasonic corrections.
The 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 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. Note: All pets in
hearing range will be affected by the ultrasonic tone.
