FINDING THE APPROPRIATE SETTING
8
Never increase the setting more than one level at a time.
1. Turn ’on’ the BarkCollar (page 6) and turn the dial to the
lowest setting
- either
Vibration
(‘V’) or
Low
(‘1’).
2. Put the collar on your dog (page 7).
3. To determine the appropriate setting, you will need
to observe your dog barking. When your dog barks,
look for some kind of
response
such as a head shake,
ear twitch, change of expression or any change in the
pattern of barking.
The sensation from the collar should be just enough to
distract the dog’s attention away from barking.
IMPORTANT
●
There is a brief
‘bark forgiveness’ delay
before the
collar activates, so the response will not be immediate.
●
The vibration or stimulation
gradually increases
(within each setting) as the dog continues to bark,
so the response may not happen immediately.
●
The response should be
subtle
.
4. If you do not see a response after allowing your dog to
bark for several minutes, increase the setting
one level
.
5. Allow your dog to bark again at the new setting and
watch for a response, as noted above. Repeat steps until
you observe a response.
