The first time your dog receives a correction from the bark control
collar he may react in a way that concerns you. He may yelp or yip or
jump slightly. Do not be alarmed by these reactions. His first
reaction to the correction will always be his most intense.
After the first few corrections his reaction will lessen. He will
eventually just stop barking and remain calm. It is advised that you
observe your dog's reactions to the correction.
You should notice an improvement in your dog's barking within the
first week of training. At this point many dog owners feel that the
"problem has been solved". In some cases this may be true, but in most
cases the training is still not complete.
Most, if not every dog, will "test" this new learning experience,
i.e., they will increase their attempts to get away with barking. This
testing period usually occurs during the second week of training. When
it does occur you must remain consistent - do not alter your use of
the bark control collar.
Once your dog is trained, you must continue to place the dog bark
control collar on him in every situation in which he must be quiet. He
may see a new dog or a squirrel through a window for the first time
and he may bark. If he is not wearing the bark collar he may get away
with barking and his training may suffer a setback. If he is wearing
the bark collar, he will stop barking immediately and any setback will
be prevented.
Moreover, you may have a need to train your dog to do other things. If
you decide to use another type of training tool, be selective with the
type you use while your dog is wearing the bark control collar.
Generally, it is best not to let your dog wear more than one collar at
a time.
Never use a metal choker collar while your dog is wearing the anti
bark collar as it may trigger false signals and possibly false
corrections. If you must have a second collar on your dog consider the
use of a nylon choker collar or other nonmetallic collar.
If you use a leash, attach it to a collar other than the one used for
the bark control collar. You should never attach a leash to the collar
and you should never pull the bark control collar while it is on your
dog. Doing so you may cause injury to his throat.
