TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

If the BarkCollar does not seem to be working:

• Verify the collar is turned on. When the device is on,

the LED Status Light should flash green.

• Make sure the battery is charged.
• Make sure the BarkCollar is fully plugged into charger

when charging.

If your dog is not responding to the BarkCollar or if your

dog continues to bark while wearing the BarkCollar:

• Make sure the collar fits properly.

(see: Fitting The Bark Collar, Pg. 7)

• Tighten the collar strap.
• Adjust the position of the BarkCollar on the

dog’s neck.

• Make sure the contact points make contact with

your dog’s neck.

• Slowly increase the BarkCollar setting.

(see: Finding Appropriate Setting, Pg. 8)
