ADJusting AnD positioning
of tHe coLLAr
The strap must be adjusted so that the
contact points are in contact with the dog's
skin.
● If the strap is too loose, the collar is
likely to move and repeated friction
can irritate the skin of your dog.
Furthermore, the collar will not function
correctly.
● If the strap is too tight, the dog will have
difficulties breathing.
Place the collar at the center of the dog's
neck.
Do not leave the collar on your Dog for more
than 8 hours per Day. check your Dog's neck
regularly. If IrrItatIons appear, remove the
collar untIl all sIgns of skIn IrrItatIon have

cHAnging tHe contAct points

Two different sizes of contact points are
included. The length of the contact points
must be sufficient to have proper contact
with the dog's skin, enabling the device to
operate correctly.
If your dog has longer hair and the short
contact points factory fitted to the collar are
inadequate, remove and replace them with
the long contact points supplied.
Carefully tighten the contact points by
hand (do not use a tool).

operAtion

At the first bark, a series of six beep sounds
are emitted. If another bark is detected
within 30 seconds, another beep sound of 2
seconds is emitted along with a stimulation
(short or long as selected – see Diagram 2).
For the next 30 seconds any detected bark
will trigger the stimulation.
The stimulation function can be turned
off using the stimulation switch located
under the settings cover #1. In this case,
only the beep sounds will be emitted.
In the factory, the stimulation switch is
set on "beep sounds only".

Detection sensitivity

Setting the barking detection sensitivity

is a very important preliminary operation.
In fact, this setting determines the correct
operation of the product.
It ensures detection of any barking while
avoiding unnecessary triggering.
The detection must therefore be
sufficiently sensitive but not overly sensitive
(see Diagram 2).
In the factory, barking detection
sensitivity is set on the middle position
(medium sensitivity).
The barking detection sensitivity setting
screw is located under the settings cover #2
(see Diagram 1 and 2).

How to use bc-60

The BC-60 bark control collar has several
functions (beep sounds, short or long
stimulations, adjustable sensitivity). You
must understand how it works and adjust
the collar before placing it around your
dog's neck.
We advise you to start with beep sounds
without stimulations. This way the dog
can understand the relation between the
operation of the device and its barks.
Although the beep sounds will not be
enough at the beginning to stop the dog's
barking, they will help him to understand
what will then happen.
After a few hours, if the dog continues
to bark, add short stimulations, and if this is
not enough, add long ones.
The dog will associate this unpleasant
sensation with its barking, and will relate it
to the fact that it is wearing a collar.
Do not leave the collar on your dog
for more than 8 hours per day. You do not
want the dog to stop barking definitively,
but to limit the disturbance caused by
excessive barking.
