The owner’s involvement during the first use of the product is a key factor in obtaining the best results.
Do not leave your dog unattended with the anti-bark collar on until he is used to wearing it and you are satisfied that it is working properly. You should ensure that the settings (barking detection sensitivity, operating mode) are adjusted correctly for your dog.
Closely watch your pet during the first days’ use.
When your dog is barking, let the collar operate without interference. Any interference on your part could be taken as a sign of consideration and consequently barking would be an effective mean to have your attention attracted.
As soon as your dog stops barking, congratulate him (but not excessively) by stroking him, verbally flattering him, or giving him dry food so as to encourage him to behave himself.
Remember that barking can indicate some behavioral problems. The anti-bark collar will allow you to resolve problems caused by excessive barking.
The anti-bark collar should be used only on dogs over 6 months old.
Before using the collar, have your dog checked by your veterinarian.
Regularly check your dog's neck as repeated rubbing of the contact points against the animal's skin may cause irritation. If this happens, remove the collar until all signs of skin irritation have disappeared.
Do not leave the collar more than 8 hours per day on your dog.
