• Plan the first use for a day when you have ample time to observe your dog's response. Allow
your dog to be in a situation that usually triggers unwanted barking. Do not yell "No" or respond
in any way when your dog barks. When he does bark, the device will spray. He may be quite
surprised, and possibly jump, sneeze, or shake his head. As soon as he has stopped barking,
we recommend you praise him saying "Good, quiet", and giving him a small treat as a reward.
NOTE: IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU FILL THE SPRAY RESERVOIR BEFORE EACH USE. ALWAYS REFILL BEFORE IT
RUNS DRY, OTHERWISE YOUR DOG WILL LEARN THAT IF HE'S PERSISTENT THE SPRAY WILL STOP.
Where and when should the collar be used?
It can be used indoors and outdoors, anywhere you find your dog's continued barking to be a
problem or nuisance. We recommend that your dog is given some free time each day without
the collar on to play, relax and vocalize. It should not be left on your dog 24 hours-a-day.
CAUTION: THE DOGTEK® NOBARK SPRAY DEVICE SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON HEALTHY DOGS. IF YOUR DOG
HAS ANXIETY-BASED BEHAVIOR OR HEALTH PROBLEMS, WE SUGGEST THAT YOU CONSULT A VETERINARIAN BEFORE
USING THIS NO-BARK DEVICE.
NOTE: DO NOT ATTACH A LEASH DIRECTLY TO THE SPRAY COLLAR, AS THE TENSION CAUSED BY PULLING MAY
CAUSE THE COLLAR STRAP TO LOOSEN. IF YOU WANT TO WALK YOUR DOG WHILE HE'S WEARING THE ANTI-BARK
COLLAR, SIMPLY USE HIS NORMAL WALKING COLLAR, HEAD COLLAR OR HARNESS.
DON'T USE THE DOGTEK® NOBARK SPRAY COLLAR WHILE YOUR DOG IS SWIMMING OR EXPOSED TO PROLONGED RAIN OR
WATER SHOWERS. THIS SPRAY DEVICE IS WATER RESISTANT, NOT WATERPROOF, AND WILL STOP WORKING IF SUBMERGED.
Removing the collar
Detach the anti-bark collar using its quick-snap release. Remember to turn the device OFF after
every use. It's also recommended that you remove the battery if you intend to stop using the
device on a regular basis for any significant period of time.
CAUTION: DON'T EXPOSE THE SPRAY DEVICE TO TEMPERATURES BELOW 32°F OR CONDITIONS ABOVE 113°F. BE
PARTICULARLY CAREFUL NOT TO LEAVE THE DEVICE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, BY A WINDOW, OR IN A CAR ON A SUNNY DAY.
