NanoBark™

Collar for Small Dogs

Before we start:

We know that teaching your dog when not to bark can be challenging. Keep these

things in mind as you begin training:

Your dog

is safe

with us.

This bark collar has a unique sensor that provides the most reliable

bark detection available. The 10 correction levels are designed

specifically for small- to medium-sized dogs and are very gentle,

even when levels need to increase. As a safety feature, if your dog

barks 15 times or more within an 80-second period, the bark collar

will automatically time out for 30 seconds.

Not all

barking

is bad.

Your dog barks for a variety of reasons, many of which may be

desirable, such as warding off threats or alerting you to unexpected

visitors. Reserve the use of the bark collar for situations in which

your dog’s bark is excessive or obtrusive — for example, maybe

your dog loves to bark outside late at night or greets your guests a

little too loudly. Appropriate and consistent use of the bark collar

can substantially reduce and even eliminate this nuisance barking.

Take care

to get the

right fit.

Proper fit is essential to the effectiveness and safety of the bark

collar. A bark collar worn too loosely won’t accurately detect and

correct your dog’s barks, but a bark collar worn too tightly (or too

long) may irritate your dog’s skin. Avoid leaving the bark collar on

your dog for more than 12 hours a day, and please read this guide

and the customer care guide thoroughly for important safety

information about how to fit and use the bark collar.

Important: Do not use the bark collar on dogs younger than 6

months old.

Let’s take your dog from

yappy to happy.

What you have:

How it works:

The bark collar starts learning your dog’s bark pattern after the first two to three barks

and automatically adjusts its correction for your dog’s personality and barking habits.

There are 10 levels of static correction. The first time your dog barks, he will receive

the lowest level of static correction. If he continues barking, the correction intensity

will increase with each successive bark until the barking stops. This correction level

becomes the starting point the next time your dog barks. Once your dog has learned

to reduce his barking, the initial warning corrections are automatically decreased.

Bark collar Charger

Test light tool

Connect the charger to the magnetic charging port on the back of the collar and then

plug it in. Leave the bark collar plugged in until it is fully charged; this will take about

2 hours.

The LED on the bottom of the bark collar will glow green when the collar is charging

and will turn off when the bark collar is fully charged.

Average battery life is 24 hours, depending on how often your dog barks.

Charge the bark collar

With your dog standing comfortably, place the bark collar high around his neck, close

to his ears. The contact points should be centered directly under your dog’s chin,

touching his skin. If your dog has long hair, it may be necessary to trim (not shave) the

hair around the contact points to make sure that contact is consistent.

Check the tightness of the bark collar by inserting one finger between the collar and

your dog’s neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting. If your dog shakes his

head (after fitting), the collar should not move.

Remember to recheck the fit of the bark collar frequently as your dog becomes

comfortable wearing it.

Charge the bark collar Fit the bark collar

See our

collar fitting video

Turn the bark collar on by pressing and holding the power button until the bark collar

beeps low to high and the LED on the bottom of the collar flashes green. The LED will

flash every 5 seconds (green or red) to indicate battery charge.

Turn the bark collar on

Stay with your dog the first few times he wears the bark collar. He may initially be

startled by the correction and bark more. If this happens, speak to your dog in a calm,

reassuring voice until he relaxes. He’ll soon realize that the correction stops when he

is quiet.

You should notice a reduction in your dog’s barking within the first couple of days

that he wears the bark collar. At this point, it is important to remember the learning

process is still not complete. Dogs will test this new learning experience and may

increase their attempts to bark. This usually occurs during the second week a dog

wears the bark collar. If this does occur, remain consistent and do not alter your use

of the bark collar.

Use the bark collar

If your dog barks and the bark collar doesn’t seem to be correcting him:

Recheck

the fit.

The bark sensor uses vibration to detect your dog’s bark. This

is what prevents the bark collar from correcting your dog for

other dogs’ barking or loud noises nearby.

If the bark collar is too loose, the bark sensor will not be able

to detect the vibration of your dog’s vocal cords and the

bark collar will not issue a correction. Likewise, if the contact

points are not in contact with your dog’s skin, he will not feel a

correction if issued.

3. When the LED

turns blue, release

the power button

and then hold the

test light tool to

the collar’s

contact points.

After a 2-second

delay, the bark

collar will be in

test mode. For

each level, the collar will beep and the test light tool will

flash (level 1 = 1 beep and 1 flash, level 2 = 2 beeps and

2 flashes, etc.).

4. When the test is complete, the bark collar will beep high to

low and turn itself off. You can stop the test at any time by

pressing the power button.

Test the

bark collar.

If you are certain you have fit the bark collar properly to your

dog but it still doesn’t seem to be working, complete the

following steps to test the bark collar. You will need the test

light tool (see page 3).

1. With the bark collar charging, press and hold the

power button.

2. Continue to hold the power button while disconnecting the

bark collar from the charger.

Remember these important tips when using your bark collar:

Be consistent. Use the bark collar in every situation in which you want

your dog to be quiet. If your dog realizes he is not wearing

his bark collar, he may resume his bad barking habits and

his learning will be delayed.

Attach

your leash

separately.

When using a leash, attach it to a separate, non-metallic

collar or harness. Important: Please don’t attach a leash

to the bark collar, as this puts too much pressure on the

contact points.

Maximize

battery life.

Turn off the bark collar when not in use by pressing and

holding the power button until the bark collar beeps high to

low and the LED flashes red and then turns off.
