Fit the Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of the Spray Bark Collar is important for
effective operation. The bark sensor must have direct contact with your dog's skin on the
underside of his neck.
1. Be sure the collar is turned off before placing it on your pet.
Then with your pet standing (3A), fit the collar snugly onto your
pet's neck so that the bark sensor makes contact with your pet's
skin on the underside of his or her neck. Make sure the PetSafe
logo is right-side up (3B).
2. Check the tightness of the collar by inserting one finger between
the end of the bark sensor and your pet's neck (3C). The fit
should be snug but not constricting.
3. Allow your pet to wear the collar for a few minutes, then check
it again.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the
contact points. Never shave your pet's neck;
this may lead to a rash or infection.
4. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the collar, remove it from
your pet and trim it, but make sure to allow room for growth or
a thicker winter coat. Use a lighter to seal the cut so that it will
not fray.
5. The collar will slip if it is not properly threaded onto the strap.
The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose
around your pet's neck and the ridges must be facing up (3D).
The collar should not be worn for more than 12
hours out of every 24-hour period. Leaving the
collar on too long could lead to skin irritation.
