What to Expect During Use of the NoBark 18

Important: Do not leave your dog alone the fi rst few
times he receives a Correction.
Place the NoBark 18 properly on your dog and wait nearby
until he barks. Most dogs will understand very quickly that the
NoBark 18 is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and
stop barking. Because the Correction from the NoBark 18 may
be surprising or startling at fi rst, some dogs may bark more at
the initial correction.
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 Corrections. The
small minority of dogs that have this reaction will only have it
the fi rst time they wear the NoBark 18.
You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the
fi rst couple of days that he wears the NoBark 18. At this point,
it is important to remember the learning process is still not
complete. Dogs will "test" this new learning experience and
will increase their attempts to bark. This usually occurs during
the second week a dog wears the NoBark 18. If this does occur,
remain consistent and do not alter your use of the NoBark 18.
You must place the NoBark 18 on your dog in every situation
when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing
the NoBark 18, he may resume barking and his learning would
suffer a setback.
