Excessive Barking
Barking is an instinctive behaviour for dogs. It is impossible to keep your dog from barking entirely,
but you can teach him to be quiet when you give the command.
Note: This will only be effective when you are at home with your dog.
1. Choose your dog's Recognition Level.
2. Put your dog in a situation that can tempt him to bark.
3. When your dog begins to bark, Press the Upper Button followed by the Lower Button and give him
the command "Quiet".
4. Release the stimulation immediately once your dog stops barking and praise him.
5. If your dog ignores the stimulation and continues to bark, set the dial one number higher to send a
higher level of stimulation and repeat the process using the Lower Button.
6. Practice this exercise in different areas using different situations that would cause your dog to bark.
Using Tone Only
• Once you have trained your dog to the commands you desire with your training collar, you are ready
to use Tone mode. Repeat the training you have already completed. You should have associated the
"Good Dog" Button with rewards and the "Bad Dog" Button with circumstances where he ignored a
command or misbehaved.
• If your pet begins to behave in an undesired manner, use the "Bad Dog" Tone and repeat the
command as required.
• Use the "Good Dog" Tone when he is behaving correctly and reward him.
• If needed, you may need to return to using stimulation occasionally for reinforcement of commands.
