What to Expect During Use of the Bark Control Collar

Important: Do not leave your dog alone the fi rst few times he wears the Bark
Control Collar.
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 burst of Lemon Spray
from the Bark Control Collar may be surprising or startling at fi rst, some dogs may
bark more at the initial correction.
On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-spray-bark-spray 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 spray bursts. Th e small minority of
dogs that have this reaction should only have it the fi rst time they wear the Bark Control
Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the fi rst 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. Th is 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 suff er a setback.
