Battery Life
Average battery life is 3 to 6 months, depending on how often your dog barks.
However, due to greater use during your dog's training, your fi rst battery may not
last as long as replacement batteries.
Low Battery Indicator
During normal operation the Indicator Light remains off. As the product is used,
the battery will be drained to a weakened state. At this point, the Indicator Light
will begin to fl ash to show that it is time to change the battery.
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. Because the Static Correction 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-correction-bark-correction 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 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.
