What to Expect During Use of the Little Dog
Spray Bark Control Collar
Important: Do not leave your dog alone the fi rst few times he wears the Bark
Control Collar.
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 burst of Unscented Spray
from the Bark Control Collar may be surprising or startling at fi rst, some dogs may
bark more at the initial correction.
On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-spray-bark-spray 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 spray bursts. The small minority of dogs
that have this reaction should only have it the fi rst time they wear the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the fi rst 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.
