What to Expect During Use of the Bark Control Collar

Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a
static correction.
Place the Bark Control Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks.
Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Bark Control Collar is disrupting
their urge to bark and will relax and stop barking. Because the static correction
from the Bark Control Collar may be surprising or startling at first, some dogs may
bark more at the initial correction.
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 first time they wear the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the first couple
of days that he wears the Bark Control 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 Bark Control Collar. If this does occur,
remain consistent and do not alter your use of the Bark Control Collar. You must
place the Bark Control Collar on your dog in every situation when you expect
him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the Bark Control Collar, he may
resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
