2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a USB adapter, power bank, car charger, or laptop/PC.

4.2 Fitting the Collar

Proper fit is crucial for the collar's effectiveness and your dog's comfort.

1. Ensure the collar unit is centered on your dog's throat, just below the chin.
2. Adjust the nylon strap to ensure a snug but comfortable fit. The collar is adjustable and suitable for dogs weighing 8-120 lbs with neck sizes ranging from 7 to 26 inches.
3. You should be able to slide two fingers comfortably between the collar strap and your dog's neck. If it's too loose, the collar may not detect barks effectively or deliver corrections properly. If it's too tight, it can cause discomfort or skin irritation.

5.2 Understanding Training Modes

The BXQ Bark Collar offers four distinct training modes, with 7 adjustable levels for vibration and shock, and 7 sensitivity levels for bark detection. You can choose the most appropriate mode for your dog's temperament and training needs.

Note: If you prefer not to use the static shock feature, ensure the shock level is set to Level 0.

5.3 Adjusting Sensitivity Levels

The collar features 7 adjustable sensitivity levels to detect your dog's bark. A higher sensitivity level means the collar will be more responsive to barks, while a lower level requires a louder or more frequent bark to trigger a correction. Adjust this setting based on your dog's barking habits and the surrounding noise environment.

5.4 Automatic Bark Control and Protection Mode

The BXQ Bark Collar operates automatically. Once powered on, it will detect your dog's barks and apply the selected correction mode. To ensure your dog's safety and prevent over-correction, the collar includes a protection mode. If the collar is triggered more than 7 times within a 30-second period, it will temporarily stop working for 2 minutes (the digital display will show "E"). This feature prevents excessive stimulation and allows your dog to calm down.

5.5 Anti-Interference Technique

The collar is equipped with an upgraded smart dog barking recognition chip. This technology is designed to filter out external noises, such as other dogs' barking, dog's head shaking, or general environmental noise. This ensures that the collar is activated only by your dog's bark, minimizing false triggers and providing more effective and humane training.
