Placement Guidelines
The device is designed for simple setup and can be placed in various locations where your dog frequently barks. Its lightweight and compact design allows for flexible mounting without complex wiring.
- Indoor Use: Place the device on a table, shelf, or other flat surface in the room where barking occurs.
- Outdoor Use: Mount the device on a tree, fence, or wall. Ensure it is positioned to face the area where your dog barks.
- Optimal Height: For best results, position the device at a height of 50-60 cm (approximately 20-24 inches) from the ground, facing the dog. Avoid placing it higher than 60 cm.
- Distance: Ensure the device is within 10 meters (33 feet) of the dog's barking area. Placing it too far away (e.g., greater than 10 meters) may reduce effectiveness.
