PetSafe Elite Little Dog Waterproof Spray Dog Bark Collar, 16-in

• Before playing with your dog, turn the unit off and remove the Bark Control Collar. The activity may cause your dog to bark, which could lead to him associating the play with the burst of spray.
• The collar must be filled to maximum capacity before placing it around your dog’s neck. Never fill the device while your dog is wearing it because it may damage the Refill Port.
• To ensure that your dog does not make the connection between you and the spray collar, don’t let him see you prepare the device for the first try, or for subsequent use. Keep your dog away while you prepare the device as well as when you fill it or change the battery. Avoid letting your dog wear the device with an empty reservoir. Make sure it is always full.
• It is important that your dog’s hair doesn’t block the Spray Nozzle. Try tying a bandanna (handkerchief) around your dog’s neck, then place the spray collar over it. If necessary, you may also consider trimming a little of the long hair around the dog’s neck for better spray effect.
• Remove all other collars with metallic parts or tags. These could create noise that may needlessly activate the spraying device.
• Turn OFF the device while not in use.
• The PetSafe Elite Little Dog Spray Bark Control should only be used with pets that are over 6 months of age.
• If your pet is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or professional trainer before use.
• Do not leave your device unattended where your dog could accidentally damage it through chewing.
• The spray from the Bark Control Collar may stick to the hair under your dogs snout. Clean your dog’s hair weekly with a washcloth and a mild hand soap. Rinse and dry your dog’s neck thoroughly.
• If the spray accumulates on the Bark Control Collar, wipe the receiver clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Average battery life is 2 to 4 months, depending on how often your dog barks. However, due to greater use during your dog’s training, your first battery may not last as long as replacement batteries.

The Anti-Bark Collar does not spray.

• Ensure the battery is properly installed
• Replace the battery
• Refill the spray
• Ensure the unit is turned ON

My bark control collar sprays, but my dog keeps barking. Check to make sure the spray nozzle points towards the dog's snout; make sure your dog's hair does not block the spray.

When I try to refill the Citronella Spray, the spray leaks out around the Spray Nozzle. Hold the spray can upright. If it is held at an angle, it will not create a good seal; press firmly on the spray can to create a good seal.

No.

The Bark Control Collar is safe and effective for all breeds and sizes of dogs, however, it is recommended for little dogs.

Yes. It may be necessary to trim the hair on your dog’s neck so it does not block the spray from reaching his snout.

No. The spray is very fine and simply creates a mist in the region of the snout.
