- Screw the chosen contact points firmly into the designated holes on the back of the main unit.
- Place the corresponding silicone covers over the contact points for added comfort and to prevent irritation.
4.3 Fitting the Collar
- Place the collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the main unit is positioned centrally on the underside of the neck.
- Adjust the strap so that it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck.
- Trim any excess strap length if necessary, and use the buckle to secure it.
The collar includes silicone covers for comfort, a reflective strap for visibility, and an auto-sleep mode for safety.
5. Operating Modes and Settings
The Kollgux Dog Bark Collar Pro offers 4 adjustable correction modes and 7 sensitivity levels to suit individual dog temperaments and barking habits.
5.1 Power On/Off
- To turn on: Press and hold the power button until the display illuminates.
- To turn off: Press and hold the power button until the display turns off.
5.2 Adjusting Modes and Sensitivity
The collar offers four distinct correction modes, ranging from gentle to firm, suitable for various dog sizes and temperaments.
Use the mode/sensitivity adjustment buttons on the device to cycle through the available modes and adjust their intensity levels:
- Beep Mode (Levels 1-5): Emits an audible tone when barking is detected.
- Vibration Mode (Levels 1-5): Delivers a gentle vibration when barking is detected.
- Beep + Vibration Mode (Levels 1-5): Combines an audible tone with vibration.
- Beep + Vibration + Static Mode (Levels 1-9): Combines tone, vibration, and a static correction. This mode is for more stubborn barkers and should be used with caution, starting at the lowest level.
Levels 1-4 are generally suitable for smaller or more sensitive dogs, while levels 5-9 are for more confident or persistent barkers.
5.3 AI Sound Recognition
The collar features an intelligent AI chip that distinguishes your dog's unique barking patterns from other noises like wind, cars, or other dogs. This minimizes false triggers and ensures corrections are only applied when genuinely needed, promoting safe and consistent training.
The Smart AI Chip ensures accurate bark detection and a rapid response, preventing false triggers.
6. Maintenance and Safety
6.1 Cleaning
Regularly clean the collar strap and the main unit with a damp cloth. Ensure the contact points are free from dirt or debris to maintain proper function. Do not immerse the entire device in water for extended periods, despite its water-resistant rating.
6.2 Skin Health
To prevent skin irritation, do not leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours a day. Regularly check your dog's neck for any signs of redness, sores, or discomfort. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian.
6.3 Auto-Sleep Mode
The collar features an auto-sleep mode to prevent overstimulation and conserve battery life. The device will enter sleep mode after a period of inactivity or excessive corrections.
6.4 Waterproof Design
