3. Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
Proper fit is crucial for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort. The collar is designed to fit dogs of various sizes, from 4-120 lbs.
- Place the collar unit centrally on your dog's throat, ensuring the prongs make contact with the skin.
- Adjust the strap so it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit one or two fingers comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck.
- Trim any excess strap length if necessary.

Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
Press and hold the power button (located on the bottom of the unit) to turn the collar on or off.
Adjusting Sensitivity Levels
The collar has 5 sensitivity levels to detect barking. Use the "+" and "-" buttons on the top of the unit to adjust the sensitivity. A higher level means the collar is more sensitive to barking. Start with a lower sensitivity and increase if needed.

Training Modes and Progressive Levels
The collar operates with 2 training modes (beep and shock) and 7 progressive levels. When your dog barks, the collar will activate a sequence of corrections:
- Level 1-2: Beep only.
- Level 3-7: Beep followed by static shock, with increasing intensity.
The collar features rigorous false bark detection, ensuring it only activates when the dog wearing it barks, filtering out other noises.
