(PetSafe RFA-18) ® Operating Guide Features • Patented Perfect Bark detection ensures your dog’s bark is the only sound ™ that will cause the correction • Adjustable collar for neck sizes up to 28" with the QuickFit Buckle ™ • For dogs 40+ pounds • Citronella Spray is safe and effective • Waterproof • Good/Low battery indicator • 40 sprays per refill • Low spray indicator • On/Off button How the PetSafe Big Dog Spray Bark ® Control Works The PetSafe Big Dog Spray Bark Control senses your dog’s barking. A unique, patented sensor ® uses both vibration of the vocal chords and sound sensors (dual-detection) to distinguish each bark from other external noises. As he barks, he receives a safe but annoying burst of spray. He’ll quickly learn the association with this stimulation and stop the unwanted behavior. The PetSafe Big Dog ® Spray Bark Control is proven effective in deterring barking when it is worn. www.petsafe.net... -

Page 10: Tips
Tips • Before playing with your dog, turn the unit off and remove the Bark Control Collar. The activity may cause your dog to bark, which could lead to him associating the play with the burst of spray. • The collar must be filled to maximum capacity before placing it around your dog’s neck. • Never fill the device while your dog is wearing it because it may damage the Refill Port. • To ensure that your dog does not make the connection between you and the spray collar, don’t let him see you prepare the device for the first try, or for subsequent use. Keep your dog away while you prepare the device as well as when you fill it or change the battery. • It is important that your dog’s hair doesn’t block the Spray Nozzle. Try tying a bandanna (handkerchief) around your dog’s neck, then place the spray collar over it. If necessary, you may also consider trimming a little of the long hair around the dog’s neck for better spray effect. • Remove all other collars with metallic parts or tags. These could create noise that may needlessly activate the spraying device. • Avoid letting your dog wear the device with an empty reservoir. Make sure it is always full. • Turn OFF the device while not in use. • The PetSafe Big Dog Spray Bark Control should only be used with pets that are over 6 ® months of age. • If your pet is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or professional trainer before use. • Do not leave your device unattended where your dog could accidentally damage it through chewing. • Never fill the Spray Bark Control Collar with any substance other than the one provided by the manufacturer. Using another substance, as well as opening the device, will void the manufacturer’s warranty. • Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. This will invalidate the warranty and make repairs more difficult. Regular Maintenance • For comfort, safety, and effectiveness of this product, please ensure that you check the fit of your pet’s collar frequently. • The Bark Control Collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period to prevent irritation. If any skin irritation is observed, discontinue the use of the collar for a few days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian. • The spray from the Bark Control Collar may stick to the hair under your dog’s snout. Clean your dog’s hair weekly with a washcloth and a mild hand soap. Rinse and dry your dog’s neck thoroughly. • If spray, dirt or debris accumulates on the Bark Control Collar (including the nozzle and refill port), wipe the Bark Control Collar clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. It is recommended that the unit be cleaned monthly or as needed to prevent clogging. The need for cleaning will depend on usage. Accessories... -
