Components Big Dog Little Dog Bark Control Collar Bark Control Collar Battery (PetSafe ® RFA-188) 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 Bark Control Collar has two primary features designed to shorten the training phase and promote good behavior. First, the Bark Control Collar has a unique patented sensor that provides the most reliable bark detection available. The Bark Control Collar uses both vibration and sound sensors (dual-detection) to discriminate each bark from other external noises. A Static Correction is administered through the Contact Points only if both the vibration from the vocal chords and the sound from the bark match the same criteria. Second, the Bark Control Collar has a patent pending Temperament Learning System design that is effective across many dog breeds and their individual barking behaviors. The Temperament Learning System contains software that tracks the number of corrections needed to substantially reduce (and in most cases eliminate) the number of nuisance barks. -

Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent. Do not shave the pet’s neck as this CAUTION may increase the risk of skin irritation. 4. Check the tightness of the Bark Control Collar by inserting one finger between a Contact Point and the dog’s neck (C). The fit should be snug but not constricting. 5. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable with the Bark Control Collar. www.petsafe.net... -

ON/OFF Battery Module The PetSafe Bark Control Collar is packaged with the battery module installed in the “OFF” ® ™ position.

Page 7: Modes Of Operation
What to Expect During Use of the Bark Control Collar Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a Static Correction. Place the Bark Control Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks. Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Bark Control Collar is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and stop barking. Because the Static Correction from the Bark Control Collar may be surprising or startling at first, 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 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. 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 Bark Control Collar. If this does occur, remain consistent and do not alter your use of the Bark Control Collar. Y ou must place the Bark Control Collar on your dog in every situation when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the Bark Control Collar, he may resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback. www.petsafe.net... -
