‐ To prevent skin irritation, the collar should not be
worn more than eight hours at a time.
‐ It is best to move the location of the contact points
every few hours. To do this, take the collar off and
then put it back on so that the contact points are in a
different location on the neck.
‐ If skin irritation is found, wash the area and rinse with
hydrogen peroxide. Apply an antibiotic ointment.
Temporarily discontinue using the collar until the skin
has healed.
‐ Use the right length contact points. The collar comes
installed with contact points that are best for a
majority of dogs.
‐ Proper collar strap tightness is extremely important. If
the collar is too loose, it will not function properly
and it may rub as the dog moves, causing irritation.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12
‐ Periodically wash the “No Bark Collar” with alcohol or
detergent. Before washing, make sure that the battery
cap is tightened.
‐ Dry thoroughly after washing.
‐ Your “No Bark Collar” is a valuable training aid when
used correctly. Please read the information on operating
the No Bark Collar before putting it on your dog.
MAINTENANCE
‐ Tighten the collar around the dog’s neck so that the
points are in contact with the dog’s skin.
‐ If the collar is too loose, the dog will not receive
correction when it barks.
‐ Check the dog’s neck daily for possible irritation
caused by the contact points rubbing against the skin.
‐ Do not leave the collar on for more than eight hours a
day.
FITTING THE COLLAR
IMPORTANT : Remove any other collars from your dog
when it is wearing the No Bark Collar.
A metal collar or a metal buckle that rubs against the No
Bark Collar bark sensor may inadvertently activate the unit.
