To Insert and Remove the Battery

Note: Do not install the battery while the Bark Control Collar is on your dog.
This Bark Control Collar utilizes a replaceable
PetSafe battery (RFA-67D-11). This unique battery
®
is designed to make battery replacement easier
and increase water protection.
To insert the battery, align the symbols on the
battery (arrow) and Bark Control Collar (triangle).
Use a large coin to turn the battery clockwise
until the arrow lines up with the lock symbol on
the housing.
To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-
clockwise using a large coin.
DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the used battery properly.
A replacement PetSafe battery (RFA-67D-11) can be found through our Customer Care Centre and at many
®
retailers. For a listing of Customer Care Centre telephone numbers or a retailer near you, visit our website at
petsafe.com.
Battery Life
Average battery life is 3 to 6 months, depending on how often your dog barks. However, due to your dog's
learning process, your first battery may not last as long as replacement batteries.
Low Battery Indicator
During normal operation the Indicator Light remains off. As the product is used, the battery will be drained to a
weakened state. At this point, the Indicator Light will begin to flash to show that it is time to change the battery.

What to Expect During Use of the Bark Control Collar

Important: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives a static correction.
Place the Bark Control Collar properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks. Most dogs will understand
very quickly that the Bark Control Collar is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and stop barking. Some
dogs will bark more, and as the static correction from the Bark Control Collar may be surprising or startling,
some dogs may vocalize in response to the initial correction.
Rarely, a dog may get into a bark-correction-bark-correction cycle that could be quite overwhelming. If
this happens, reassure your dog with calm, soothing tones. As your dog relaxes, he will understand that if
he becomes quiet, he will not receive any more static corrections. The small minority of dogs that have this
reaction will only have it the first time they wear the Bark Control Collar.
You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the first couple of days that he wears the Bark
Control Collar. At this point, some dog owners feel that the problem has been solved, but in most cases the
learning process is still not complete. Most dogs will "test" this new learning experience and will increase their
attempts to bark. This usually occurs during the second week a dog wears the Bark Control Collar. If this does
occur, remain consistent and do not alter your use of the Bark Control Collar. You must place the Bark Control
Collar on your dog in every situation when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the Bark
Control Collar, he may resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
