Its important to make sure that you properly fit and place your bark control collar for an effective operation.  On most collars the contact points must have direct contact with your dogs skin on the bottom of his/ her neck.

To make sure you have a proper fit for your anti bark collar , follow these steps as outlined:

1) You have to make sure that the battery is off.

2)Have your dog standing up.

3)Center the contact points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin.

4)With the Snap Buckle fastened, thread the collar through the metal buckle and retaining tabs

5)Slide the extra collar through the C loop on the top of the snap buckle.  This will hold the collar in place.

6)Once the collar fit is determined use the snap buckle to remove or replace the collar

7)The Anti Bark Collar has to fit snugly, tight enough for the sensor to detect vibrations but loose enough to allow one finger to fit between a contact point and your dog’s neck.  Check the fit after you put it on and the dog walks around for a little bit.

Okay, this is extremely important.  Listen up because I have heard complaints about this time and time again.  It will be necessary on a lot of dogs who have thicker hair to sometimes trim the hair around the Contact Points or neck to make sure that contact is consistent.  If you do not do this then the collar either will not function or it will work sometimes and other times it won’t.
