Components Elite Big Dog Bark Control Collar Battery (PetSafe® RFA-188) or Elite Little Dog Bark Control Collar Operating Guide Features :: Patented Perfect Bark technology ensures your dog’s bark is the only sound that will cause the correction :: Automatic Correction Level adjustment called Temperament Learning :: Ten levels of correction :: Durable, waterproof Receiver Collar :: Two color LED for good/low battery indicators :: On/Off position for longer battery life ™ How the System Works The Pet
The system has 10 levels of static correction. It begins with low-level corrections, however, if excessive barking continues the correction intensity will increase with each successive bark until the barking stops. Once the dog has learned to reduce the barking, the initial warning corrections are reduced. As a built-in safety feature, if your dog barks 15 times or more within a 1 minute 20 second period, the Bark Control Collar will automatically shut off for 3 minutes.
. Trim the collar as follows: (D) D a. Mark the desired length of the 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 excess. c. Before placing the Bark Control Collar back onto your dog, seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the frayed edge. ON/OFF Battery Module The PetSafe Elite Bark Control Collar is packaged with the battery module installed in the “OFF” position.
To Re-Thread the Collar Slide Buckle Ridges :: The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around your pet’s neck. :: The ridges must be facing up; the collar will slip if it is not properly threaded. Modes of Operation Temperament Learning Normal Operation As soon as the Bark Control unit has been turned on, the LED pattern will flash as follows: 1. The LED will turn solid Green for 1 second. 2.

On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-correction-bark-correction cycle. If this happens, reassure your dog with calm, soothing tones. As your dog relaxes, he will understand that if he becomes quiet, he will not receive any more static corrections. The small minority of dogs that have this reaction will only have it the first time they wear the Bark Control Collar. You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the first couple of days that he wears the Bark Control Collar.
