How to Find the Optimal Level for Your Dog

Follow the steps below to find the best level:

1. Start from sensitivity level 1 to see the reaction of the dog when it barks.
2. Gradually increase the sensitivity until your dog responds reliably.
3. If your dog still does not respond at sensitivity level 5, check “Installing the Anti-Bark Collar” (p. 13). If your dog has long or bushy hair, a long contact point is installed, or the hair around the contact point needs to be trimmed. If the “contact point” is not in contact with the dog’s skin, no static irritation will occur.
4. Note: For dog with shorter coats use the 2 contact points and install the conductive silicone caps onto the contact points to make it softer, which may be better for your dog’s skin. For dog with thicker coats, please install contact spring sheet.
5. Note: If you have taken all of these steps and the dog is still unresponsive, see “How to Use the Test Light Tool” on page 12.

How to Install Contact Points

How to Use the Test Light Tool

1. Turn on the electric shock mode, select “5” gear to enter the test.
2. Put the lamp test tool vertically on the 2 contact points, make sure the metal wire directly touches the top of the 2 points.
3. Say “WO WO” to the microphone, and the device responds to the buzzer and vibration functions when the first sound is detected. The test light will come on after the 2nd tone is detected.

NOTE: For dogs with shorter coats, use 2 contact points and install the conductive silicone caps on the contact points to make them softer, which may be better for your dog’s skin.

Wearing a Bark Collar

The point of contact must be in direct contact with the dog’s neck skin. Check the tightness of the collar by inserting 2 fingers firmly between the collar and the neck.
