Fit the Bark Control Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your Bark Control Collar is important for effective operation.
The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog's skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the Bark Control Collar.
2. Start with your dog standing comfortably.
3. Place the Bark Control Collar on your dog's neck close to the ears. Centre the Contact Points underneath
your dog's neck, touching the skin.
YES
NO
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Probes.
Never shave the dog's neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
4. Check the tightness of the Bark Control Collar by
inserting one finger between the end of a Contact
Point and your dog's neck. The fit should be snug but
not constricting.
5. Allow your dog to wear the Bark Control Collar for
several minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit again
as your dog becomes more comfortable with the Bark
Control Collar.
You should not make the collar any more tight than is required for good contact.
A collar that is too tight will increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.

6. Trim the collar as follows:
A. Mark the desired length of the Bark Control Collar
with a pen. Allow for growth if your dog is young or
grows a thick winter coat.
B. Remove the Bark Control Collar from your dog and
cut off the excess.
C. Before placing the Bark Control Collar back
onto your dog, seal the edge of the cut collar by
applying a flame along the frayed edge.
Care and Cleaning
• Your dog's neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a damp cloth.
• Be sure that your pet's neck is thoroughly dry before placing the Receiver Collar back on his neck.
Risk of skin damage.
• For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this product, please ensure that you check the fit of your pet's
collar frequently. If any skin irritation is observed, discontinue the use of the collar for a few days. If the
condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• Do not attach a lead to the collar. This can result in pulling the Contact Points too tightly against your
pet's neck. Attach a lead to a separate, non-metallic collar or harness, making sure the extra collar does
not put pressure on the Contact Points.
