Tips for Training Your Dog

• It is recommended not to train your dog alone when starting.
• Train your dog with specific commands like "no!". The collar reinforces this command when the dog barks, teaching the dog to stop barking when the collar signals.
• The collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours a day. Remove it when not in use.

Warnings

• Keep the collar away from children.
• Prevent your dog from chewing on the collar. Avoid rubbing or scratching the collar with their claws.
• The bark collar is not intended for use as a regular collar. If using a leash, attach it to a standard collar.
• The device contains plastic and electronic parts that are not digestible. Consult a veterinarian immediately if your dog swallows any part of the product.
• Check your pet's neck daily for any signs of rash or sores. If observed, remove the collar for a few days to allow the skin to heal.
• Do not use the collar if your dog has fleas or ear mites, as constant scratching may cause the collar to activate unnecessarily. Consult a veterinarian if your dog scratches frequently.
• Never leave the collar on for more than 12 hours, as this can negatively affect the dog.
• Cutting the strap voids the return policy. Ensure the fit is correct before trimming.
• The collar is water-resistant, suitable for walks in the rain. Ensure the charging port is sealed and kept dry after exposure to moisture.
• Adjust the sensitivity level based on your dog's barking. Lower sensitivity for loud barking, increase for soft barking.
