Tips and Maintenance
• Before playing with your dog, remove the Bark Control Collar from your dog and turn it
OFF (O). The activity may cause your dog to bark, which could lead to him associating the
play with the burst of spray.
• The Bark Control Collar must be filled to maximum capacity before placing it around
your dog's neck.
• To ensure that your dog does not make the connection between you and the Bark
Control Collar, don't let him see you prepare it for the first try, or for subsequent use.
Keep your dog away while you prepare the Bark Control Collar, as well as when you
fill it or change the battery.
• The Microphone is calibrated so it won't be activated by nearby sounds. However, the
barking of another dog at close range could cause the Bark Control Collar to spray.
• Remove all other collars with metallic parts or tags. These could create noise that may
accidentally activate the Bark Control Collar.
• Avoid letting your dog wear the Bark Control Collar with an empty reservoir. Make sure
it is always full.
• The Bark Control Collar is splash-proof but not completely watertight. Remove it before
letting your dog go for a swim.
• Keep the Bark Control Collar clean at all times. Do not immerse it in water when
cleaning. Simply use a dry cloth to wipe away dirt. You may lightly brush with an old
toothbrush if dirt accumulates in front of the Microphone grid.
• Do not leave the Bark Control Collar unattended where your dog could accidentally
damage it through chewing.
• If your dog tries to take off the Bark Control Collar, a harness can be used instead of the
nylon collar provided.
