Important: Th e proper fit and placement of your Bark Control Collar is important for effective operation.
To assure a proper fi t, please follow these steps:
- Make sure that the Bark Control Collar is turned off.
- Start with your dog standing comfortably.
- Place the Bark Control Collar high on your dog’s neck close to the ears. Center the Sensor Probe underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin. Make sure the INNOTEK® logo in the front of the unit is upright.
- Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the Sensor Probe to make sure that contact is consistent.
- Check the tightness of the Bark Control Collar by inserting one fi nger between the collar and the back of the dog’s neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting.
- 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.
- Trim the collar as follows:
-
- Mark the desired length of the collar with a pen. Allow for growth if your dog is young or grows a thick winter coat.
- Remove the Bark Control Collar from your dog and cut off excess.
- Before placing the Bark Control Collar back onto your dog, seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a fl ame along the frayed
Ensure a Proper Spray Pattern
For the INNOTEK Spray Bark Control Collar to perform properly, the nozzle must be positioned correctly and there must be a clear path from the Spray Nozzle to your dog’s snout.
Follow these steps:
- Make sure the INNOTEK logo on the front of the unit is upright and the Spray Nozzle is angled out and pointing up towards the dog’s snout.
- For long-haired dogs, it may be necessary to trim the neck hairs along the path of the spray. It is important that the spray reaches the dog’s snout to be eff ective.
