Get the Most Out of Your Battery

  • Each battery will last 3-6 months. Battery life will vary depending on how much your pet barks.
  • It is expected that your first battery will need to be changed sooner than the rest due to the pet’s acclimation and training to the bark collar.
  • To extend the life of the battery, power the collar off in between uses.
