FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will another dog’s bark set off the Bark Control
Collar?
No
Is the Bark Control Collar safe and humane? Yes. The Bark Control Collar is designed to get your dog’s
attention, not to punish him. However, the initial static
stimulation may startle your dog.
Will the Bark Control Collar work for my dog? The Bark Control Collar is safe and effective for all breeds
and sizes of dogs, though it may be too large for dogs under
8 lbs. to wear comfortably. The system should only be
used with dogs who are over six months of age. If your dog
is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired, contact
your veterinarian or professional trainer before use.
Is it possible for my dog to learn not to bark only
when the Bark Control Collar is on?
Yes. This is best accomplished by placing the Bark
Control Collar on your dog only in situations where
you never want him to bark, and never placing the Bark
Control Collar on your dog in situations where you find it
acceptable for him to bark.
I have more than one dog, but only one dog with a
barking problem. Will it cause problems between
the dogs if I keep them together?
It should not be a problem, especially if you follow the
procedures described in this Guide.
Is the Bark Control Collar waterproof? Yes. It is waterproof and submersible to 10 ft.
Can I attach a lead/leash to the Bark Control
Collar?
No. This can result in pulling the Contact Points too
tightly against your dog’s neck. Attach a lead/leash to
a separate, non-metallic collar, making sure the extra
collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
Can I leave The Bark Control Collar on my dog all
the time?
No. Never leave the Bark Control Collar on for more than
12 consecutive hours.
What do I do if my dog’s neck becomes red and
irritated?
This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the
skin. Discontinue use of the Bark Control Collar for a few
days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your
veterinarian. Once the skin returns to normal, resume
use, and monitor the skin condition closely.
