Fit the Bark Control Collar
Important: The proper fi t 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 fi t, 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 high on your dog’s neck
close to the ears. Center the Contact Points underneath
your dog’s neck, touching the skin.
YES
NO
Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair
around the Contact Points to make sure that contact
is consistent.
4. Check the tightness of the Bark Control
Collar by inserting one fi nger between
the end of a Contact Point and your
dog’s neck. The fi t should be snug but
not constricting.
5. Allow your dog to wear the Bark
Control Collar for several minutes then
recheck the fi t. Check the fi t again as
your dog becomes more comfortable
with the Bark Control Collar.
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 fl ame along the frayed edge.
