Humanely stops barking with progressively increasing sound and shock
User`s manual
Introduction:
This advanced anti bark collar is specially designed for cases where dogs are particularly aggressive barkers or especially stubborn. It is controlled by a microprocessor which distinguishes your dog`s bark from other environmental noises and automatically delivers sound and shock stimuli after each bark. The out-put level of sound and shock is increased gradually as barking.
Continually giving your pet plenty of warning before it becomes painful, Bark collar unique pattern of increasing sound and shock quickly teaches your pet that it is its own bark that is causing the discomfort. A humane approach to bark control.
Principles of Operations:
At the first bark, Sunwayes***8 applies a short warning tone, If a second bark occurs within thirty seconds, a more intense tone is sounded. If your dog barks a third time, the tone is made more intense along with a short, mild shock. This pattern is repeated through three shock correction levels. If your dog continues to bark through all three levels, the most intense sound and shock are applies after each bark until your pet stops for thirty seconds terminator automatically resets to the first “tone only” level of correction.
The use of the warning tone followed by increasingly intense tones and shocks sets up a pattern that your dog will quickly learn is caused by its own barking. It takes time to break bad habits . If your dog forgets and barks again, the warning tone reminds your pet without immediately applying painful stimulus. At each step, your dog gets to choose whether it`s worth the increasing pain to bark again. We have found this technique of progressively increasing sound and shock is not only more humane, it is more effective in breaking the barking habit than conventional shocking bark control collars.
Operating instructions:
Use of your new anti bark collar is almost completely automatic. There are no electronic controls to adjust or fiddle with. Just install a 6 volt alkaline battery, adjust the strap to the size of your dog`s neck and the Sunwayes***8 automatically begins doing its job.
Getting started:
Before putting your anti bark collar on your pet there are a few things about the unit with which you should become familiar. The anti bark collar uses a microphone to sense your dog`s bark..the microphone is located at the center of the unit underneath the strap as shown easily sense the sound of your dog`s bark right through the strap. Electric shock is delivered by the shock electrodes located on the underside of the unit as shown above.
Purchasing a new battery:
Your anti bark collar is battery operated so it will be necessary to purchase a standard 6 volt alkaline camera battery. Standard 6volt size is 2/3AA.
Installing/replacing the battery:
Use the metal coin (included) to unscrew (anti-clockwise) the metal cover of battery compartment. Install the new battery between the “metal cover” and “spring” contacts. Note that “spring” contact is for the negative end and “metal cover” contact is for the positive end as shown below. Screw back the metal cover (clockwise) tightly and make sure it is completely closed. Replace the battery when the tone becomes notably softer or stops all together.
Putting the anti bark collar on your dog:
Place the unit around your dog`s neck and adjust the collar length using the slide buckle arrangement provides with the strap. The unit should fit snugly underneath your dog`s neck. Make sure that the electrodes are in direct contact with your dog`s skin. Hair between the electrodes and skin will severely diminish the shock effect. If necessary, it is advisable to clip or shave your dog`s fur under the neck to ensure direct contact.
