WHAT TO EXPECT DURING USE OF THE
BARK CONTROL COLLAR
IMPORTANT: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a static stimulation.
Place the Bark Control Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks. Most dogs
will understand quickly that the Bark Control Collar is disrupting their urge to bark and will
relax and stop barking. Because the static stimulation may be surprising or startling at first,
some dogs may bark more at the initial static stimulation.
On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-stimulation-bark-stimulation 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 more static stimulation. The small minority of dogs
that have this reaction will only have it the first time they wear the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the first 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" the 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.
