2. Important Safety Information
- Not for Aggressive Dogs: Do not use this product on aggressive dogs. If your dog exhibits aggressive behavior, consult a professional dog trainer or veterinarian.
- Proper Fit is Crucial: Ensure the collar fits snugly but not too tightly. Two fingers should fit comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. Improper fit can lead to skin irritation or ineffective operation.
- Avoid Prolonged Wear: Do not leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours per day. Prolonged wear can cause pressure necrosis (bed sores) on the skin.
- Regular Inspection: Check your dog's neck daily for any signs of skin irritation, redness, or sores. If irritation occurs, discontinue use until the skin heals.
- Supervision: Always supervise your dog when the collar is in use, especially during initial training.
- Age and Health: This collar is suitable for dogs over 8 lbs and with neck sizes between 7-26 inches. Do not use on puppies under 6 months old or dogs with health issues. Consult your veterinarian if unsure.
- Water Safety: While the collar is IP65 waterproof, ensure the charging port cover is securely closed before exposing it to water.

5.2 Attaching the Strap and Fitting the Collar
- Thread the nylon strap through the slots on the collar unit.
- Place the collar around your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points are positioned directly on the dog's skin, beneath the throat.
- Adjust the strap for a snug fit. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. The collar should not be too loose, as this can cause rubbing or prevent proper contact.
- Trim any excess strap length if necessary, and use the provided buckle to secure it.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Powering On/Off
- To Power On: Press and hold the power button until the LED display illuminates.
- To Power Off: Press and hold the power button until the LED display turns off.
6.2 Adjusting Sensitivity
The collar has 7 sensitivity levels (1-7) to detect barking. A higher number means higher sensitivity (detects softer barks). Adjust this based on your dog's barking volume and environmental noise.
- Press the sensitivity button (usually marked with an 'S' or a gear icon) to cycle through the levels.
- Start with a lower sensitivity level and increase it if the collar is not activating when your dog barks.
6.3 Selecting Training Modes
The BXQ Bark Collar offers 4 training modes and 7 intensity levels for vibration and static shock.
Image: A visual representation of the four training modes: Beep, Beep + Vibration, Beep + Shock, and Beep + Vibration + Shock. It also advises setting the shock level to 0 if no shock is desired.
- No Shock Modes:
- Beep Only: The collar emits an audible beep when barking is detected.
- Beep + Vibration: The collar emits a beep followed by a vibration. Vibration intensity can be adjusted from level 1-7.
- Shock Modes:
- Beep + Shock: The collar emits a beep followed by a static shock. Shock intensity can be adjusted from level 1-7.
- Beep + Vibration + Shock: The collar emits a beep, then a vibration, followed by a static shock. Both vibration and shock intensities are adjustable from level 1-7.
To adjust vibration or shock intensity, press the corresponding button (Vibration or Shock) and then use the up/down buttons to select the desired level (1-7). If you do not wish to use the static shock feature, ensure the shock level is set to 0.
6.4 Anti-Interference Technology
The BXQ Bark Collar incorporates an upgraded smart dog barking recognition chip. This technology helps filter out other dogs' barking or environmental noises, ensuring the collar only activates in response to your dog's specific bark. This reduces false triggers and provides more effective training.

6.5 Automatic Protection Mode
For your dog's safety, the BXQ Bark Collar includes an automatic protection mode. If the collar triggers more than 7 times within a 30-second period, it will temporarily stop working for 2 minutes. During this time, the digital display will show "E". This prevents over-correction and allows your dog a brief respite.
6.6 Testing the Shock Function (Optional)
A test light tool is included to verify the static shock function. Place the test light across the two contact points. Blow into the microphone hole on the collar unit. If the shock function is active, the test light will illuminate, indicating the static shock is working.

7.3 Waterproof Rating (IP65)
