• The collar will activate a correction sequence (beep, vibration, or static shock, depending on the selected mode) when it detects barking.
• If your dog barks continuously within 30 seconds after a correction, the collar will proceed to the next step in its 6-step correction sequence, gradually increasing intensity.
• If the collar triggers 6 times within a short period, it will enter a 2-minute safety protection mode, indicated by an 'E' on the digital display. During this time, the collar will temporarily stop working to prevent over-correction.
• After 2 minutes, the collar will reset and resume normal operation. You can also press the power button to exit protection mode manually.

4.6 Anti-Interference Technique

The BXQ collar incorporates an upgraded smart barking recognition chip to minimize false triggers.

• The collar is designed to primarily activate only when your dog barks, filtering out other sounds like other dogs' barking, head shaking, or general environmental noise.
• This technology helps ensure that corrections are delivered only when intended, making training more effective and fair for your dog.
