Important: The proper fit and placement of your Bark Control Collar is important for effective operation. To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps: 1. Make sure that the Bark Control Collar is turned off. 2. Start with your dog standing comfortably. 3. Place the Bark Control Collar on your dog’s neck close to the ears. Center the unit underneath your dog’s neck with the spray nozzle facing upward. 4. Check the tightness of the Bark Control Collar by inserting one finger between the collar and the back of the dog’s neck. 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. 6. Trim the collar as follows: a. Mark the desired length of the collar with a pen. Allow for growth if your dog is young or grows a thick winter coat. b. Remove the Bark Control Collar from your dog and cut off excess. c. Before placing the Bark Control Collar back onto your dog, seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the frayed edge. 7. The PetSafe QuickFit collar is designed so you can ® ™ quickly attach and remove the Bark Control Collar from your dog while maintaining the desired fit. Once the fit is determined, simply use the Snap Buckle to remove and replace the collar. Customer Care Center 1-800-732-2677... -

What to Expect During Use of the Little Dog Bark Control Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he wears the Bark Control Collar. 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 burst of spray from the Bark Control Collar may be surprising or startling at first, some dogs may bark more at the initial correction. -
Page 9: Tips
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. 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 Little 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 dogs snout. Clean your dog’s hair weekly with a washcloth and a mild hand soap. Rinse and dry your dog’s neck thoroughly. -
