Press the manual button and look for a red light on the unit.
If a light is not seen, insert a new 9V battery in the unit and test again.
Important: If the unit is activating when your dog is not barking, place it in a quieter area to avoid false activation.
Acclimation
If a red light is seen on the unit, it is functioning properly. Try these acclimation tips to help your dog understand that the high-pitched tone means to stop barking.
What to Do
Place the unit in the desired location and wait until your dog barks.
Reward him when he receives a stimulation and stops barking so he understands what is expected.
Bark-Correction Cycle
If your dog begins to bark at the stimulation, reassure him with calm, soothing tones to teach him that when he becomes quiet, the stimulation stops.
Consistency
Make sure to be consistent in using the unit when he is expected to be quiet to avoid a learning setback.
If the unit powers on, and your dog is not responding, ultrasonic bark stimulation may not be the appropriate solution for your dog. Contact our Customer Care for further assistance with bark control solutions.
