WHAT TO EXPECT DURING USE OF THE NOBARK
10R
™
IMPORTANT: Do not leave your dog alone the first few times he receives
a stimulation.
Place the NoBark™ 10R properly on your dog and wait nearby until he barks. Most
dogs will understand quickly that the NoBark™ 10R is disrupting their urge to bark
and will relax and stop barking. Because the stimulation may be surprising or
startling at first, some dogs may bark more at the initial stimulation.
On rare occasions, a dog may get into a bark-stimulation-bark-stimulation cycle. 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 more stimulation. The
small minority of dogs that have this reaction will only have it the first time they
wear the NoBark™ 10R.
You should notice a reduction in your dog's barking within the first couple of days
that he wears the NoBark™ 10R. At this point, it is important to remember the
learning process is still not complete. Dogs will "test" the new learning experience
and will increase their attempts to bark. This usually occurs during the second
week a dog wears the NoBark™ 10R. If this does occur, remain consistent and do not
alter your use of the NoBark™ 10R. You must place the NoBark™ 10R on your dog
in every situation when you expect him to be quiet. If your dog is not wearing the
NoBark™ 10R, he may resume barking and his learning would suffer a setback.
