Yes. The Bark Control Collar is designed to get your dog's
attention, not to punish him. However, the initial static stimulation
may startle your dog.
The Bark Control Collar is safe and effective for all breeds and sizes
of dogs, though it may be too large for dogs under 8 lbs. to wear
comfortably. The system should only be used with dogs that are over
six months of age. If your dog is injured or his mobility is otherwise
impaired, contact your veterinary surgeon or professional trainer
before use.
Yes. This is best accomplished by placing the Bark Control Collar
on your dog only in situations in which you never want him to bark
and never placing the Bark Control Collar on your dog in situations
in which you find it acceptable for him to bark.
It should not be a problem, especially if you follow the procedures
described in this Guide.
Yes. It is waterproof and submersible to 7.6 m.
No. This can result in pulling the Contact Points too tightly against
your dog's neck. Attach a lead/leash to a separate, non-metallic
collar, making sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the
Contact Points.
No. Never leave the Bark Control Collar on for more than
12 consecutive hours.
This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the skin.
Discontinue use of the Bark Control Collar for a few days. If the
condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinary surgeon.
Once the skin returns to normal, resume use and monitor the skin
condition closely.
