6. Troubleshooting and Safety Features
Smart Anti-False Triggering:
The collar is equipped with an upgraded smart dog barking recognition chip that requires two activation conditions: the dog must be barking, and vibration from the vocal cords must be detected. This prevents false triggers from external noises like other dogs barking, dog's head shaking, or other environmental sounds.

Protect Mode:
If the bark collar is activated 6 times continuously, it will automatically stop working for 30 seconds. During this period, the digital display will show "8". This feature is designed to protect your dog from unnecessary or prolonged activation.
