Tips and Maintenance

•
Before playing with your dog, turn the unit off and remove the Bark Control Collar. The
activity may cause your dog to bark, which could lead to him associating the play with the
burst of spray.
•
The collar must be filled to maximum capacity before placing it around your dog's neck.
•
Never fill the device while your dog is wearing it because it may damage the Refill Port.
•
To ensure that your dog does not make the connection between you and the spray collar,
don't let him see you prepare the device for the first try, or for subsequent use. Keep your
dog away while you prepare the device as well as when you fill it or change the battery.
•
It is important that your dog's hair doesn't block the Spray Nozzle. Try tying a bandanna
(handkerchief) around your dog's neck, then place the spray collar over it. If necessary,
you may also consider trimming a little of the long hair around the dog's neck for better
spray effect.
•
Avoid letting your dog wear the device with an empty reservoir. Make sure it is always full.
•
Turn OFF the device while not in use.
•
The PetSafe Little Dog Deluxe Spray Bark Control should only be used with pets that are
®
over 6 months of age.
•
If your pet is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or
professional trainer before use.
•
Do not leave your device unattended where your dog could accidentally damage it through
chewing.
•
Never fill the Bark Control Collar with any substance other than the one provided by
the manufacturer. Using another substance, as well as opening the device, will void the
manufacturer's warranty.
•
Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. This will invalidate the warranty and make
repairs more difficult.
•
The spray from the Bark Control Collar may stick to the hair under your dog's snout. Clean
your dog's hair weekly with a washcloth and a mild hand soap. Rinse and dry your dog's
neck thoroughly.
•
If spray, dirt, or debris accumulates on the Bark Control Collar (including the nozzle and
refill port), wipe the Bark Control Collar clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. It is
recommended that the unit be cleaned monthly or as needed to prevent clogging. The need
for cleaning will depend on usage.
