What To Expect During Use Of The Bark Control Collar; Regular Maintenance - Petsafe Deluxe Bark Control Collar Guide D'emploi

What to Expect During Use of the
Bark Control Collar
Important: Do not leave your dog alone the fi rst few times he receives
a Static 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. Some dogs will
bark more, and as the Static Correction from the Bark Control Collar may
be surprising or startling, some dogs may vocalize in response to the initial
correction.
Rarely, a dog may get into a bark-correction-bark-correction cycle that could
be quite overwhelming. 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 Static Corrections. The small minority of dogs that have
this reaction will 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, some dog owners
feel that the problem has been solved, but in most cases the learning process is
still not complete. Most 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.
