If your dog barks and the bark collar doesn't seem to be effective:
Recheck the fit.
The bark sensor uses the sensation of vibration (not sound) to detect your
dog's bark. This is what prevents the bark collar delivering stimulations that
would be activated by other dogs' barking or loud noises nearby.
If the bark collar is too loose, the bark sensor will not be able to detect
the vibration of your dog's vocal cords and the bark collar will not issue a
stimulation. Likewise, if the contact points are not in contact with your dog's
skin, he will not feel a stimulation if issued.
Test the bark collar.
If you are certain you have fit the bark collar properly to your dog but it still
doesn't seem to be working, complete the following steps to test the bark
collar. You will need the test light tool (see page 3).
1.
With the bark collar charging, press and hold the power button.
2. Continue to hold the power button while disconnecting the bark collar
from the charger.
3. When the LED turns blue, release
the power button and then hold
the test light tool to the collar's
contact points.
After a 2-second delay, the bark
collar will be in test mode. For
each level, the collar will beep
and the test light tool will flash
(level 1 = 1 beep and 1 flash, level
2 = 2 beeps and 2 flashes, etc.).
4. When the test is complete, the bark collar will beep high to low and turn
itself off. You can stop the test at any time by pressing the power button.
