AntiFury Woof Guard Anti Bark Collar
Please Read this Manual Carefully Before Use
Introduction
The Woof Guard anti bark collar deters barking using a system of sound and
vibration stimulations that increases progressively the longer your dog barks.
It is a
humane and safe method to help train your dog to stop barking.
The collar is easy to use and test, and is activated by throat vibration when
your dog barks. A microprocessor distinguishes your dog’s bark from other
environmental
noises and automatically delivers a sound and/or vibration after each bark as
a deterrent.
Quick Start Guide
-
Charge the device to full using the USB cable provided (approx. 1 to 2 hours)
-
Hold the button to turn on the device.
-
Press the and / buttons to adjust the sensitivity level (we recommend starting with level 3 and adjust if the device is not activated correctly).
-
Blow into the circle in the centre of the device to test that it functions properly.
The device should beep and/or vibrate in response to the blow.
Place the collar around your dog’s neck and adjust the length of the strap. It should be tight enough such that you can only slide one finger through the collar. Ensure the device is right below your dog’s neck and does not swing to the side.
TIP
Leave the collar turned off for the first 24 to 48 hours to give your dog an opportunity to adjust to wearing it before beginning your training.
Each dog will react differently to the Woof Guard Collar. For the best result, we suggest you spend some time training your dog so it understands the meaning of the beeps and vibrations, and be patient as your dog learns to adjust its behaviour.
Important Note
When the collar is correctly fitted, it should not move or slide on your
dog’s neck. You should only be able to slide one finger under the collar. If
not correctly worn, the device may not work as effectively or as intended.

will enter into sleep mode and the bark counter will then reset.
Do not put the collar on your do without first testing it
To test the collar, simply blow into the blow test circle located at the back of the device. The test should trigger a response from the device based on the above. You should test the device on the highest sensitivity setting, but you can adjust the sensitivity by using the and button.
Putting the Collar on Your Dog
- Ensure that you have turned the collar off.
- Check the collar and adjust strap to a suitable length
- Place the collar around your dog, with the device directly in front of your dog’s neck. It must be put on tightly enough so that it does not move around the neck. If it does, then adjust and tighten the length of the collar. It should not be so tight as to cause discomfort for the dog, and you should be able to slide one finger through the collar.
- Leave the collar on the dog without turning it on for 24-48 hours until your dog is familiar with wearing the device. This is to prevent your dog from trying to scratch or paw the device off. Once your dog becomes used to wearing the device, you may commence training.
- You should adjust the level of sensitivity of the device once it is turned on, depending on how loud your dog barks.
Training Tips
When you first activate the collar on your dog, you should NOT simply expect them to understand how it functions. Some very intelligent dogs can work it out on its own, but most dogs will need your help to teach and train them to understand how the device works.
The bark collar is most effective when used along with your training and guidance. When your dog barks, you should give a firm verbal command of NO, and the noise and vibration from the collar will reinforce this message. If your dog continues to bark, you should give a more forceful NO command, and the collar will also provide escalating levels of responses. The key is to make your dog understand that the BEEP noise means NO, and BEEP and vibration means NO!
Only after you have trained your dog using the bark collar, you may leave the
device on when you are not present and do not want them to bark.
You should not leave the collar on for a prolonged period. We suggest you
avoid keeping the collar on for more than 12 hours at a time.
After training your dog using the collar, you should expect your dog’s barking to be reduced dramatically.
Please remember that the device is a behavioural training aid device, and should not be used during play.

Troubleshooting
Q. The collar goes off even when my dog is not barking
A1. The sensitivity may be set too high, and the device is responding to other
noises in the environment. You can reduce the sensitivity by pressing the
minus
button. A2. The collar may not be tight enough, tighten the collar so it does
not swing around.
Q. The collar activates when my dog is just shaking his head
A. The collar may feel unusual to your dog at first and they might keep
shaking their heads and scratching at the device. Try putting on the collar
without turning it on for 24-48 hours for your dog to adjust to wearing the
collar. You may also try lowering the sensitivity level.
Q. My dog barks but the collar does not activate
A. Check the battery by performing a scratch test. If the collar responds
correctly then you may need to increase the sensitivity of the collar. The
collar may also be too loose, so try tightening the collar.
Q. Collar only beeps but will not vibrate
A. There is enough charge in the battery to make it beep but not vibrate.
Recharge the device until it is full.
