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 Anti-Bark Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the fi rst couple of days
that he wears the Anti-Bark Collar. At this point, it is important to remember the
learning process is still not complete. Dogs will "test" this new learning experience
and will increase their attempts to bark. This usually occurs during the second week a
dog wears the Anti-Bark Collar. If this does occur, remain consistent and do not alter
your use of the Anti-Bark Collar. You must place the Anti-Bark Collar on your dog in
every situation when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the Anti-
Bark Collar, he may resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
