Test Your Audible Bark Collar
Table of Contents
Testing your Audible Bark Collar will ensure that all levels of stimulation are working properly. If your dog’s barking is not reduced over time, test that your collar is functioning properly.
Charge Your Collar
Before running a test cycle on your collar, make sure that your collar has a good charge.
If the light is flashing red, charge the collar prior to testing. The first charge will take five hours and every charge after will take 2-3 hours.
The average time between charges is 3-6 months, depending on use.
Lift the rubber cover protecting the charging port on the collar.
Connect the USB charger to the port on the collar. Make sure to align the ridges on the adapter with the openings on the port.
Plug the charger into any standard USB port. The collar light is solid green while charging.
Unplug the collar once there is no light on the collar. This indicates that the collar is charged.
Place the rubber cover over the port when charging is complete.
Run a Test Cycle
Now that your collar is charged, complete a test cycle to ensure each stimulation level is functioning.
During the test cycle the stimulation will increase in length as the collar cycles through each level. The sound will not get louder as the level increases.
Plug the collar in to charge.
Press and hold the power button on the collar.
Continue to hold the power button while unplugging the charger from the collar.
Release the power button. The light turns blue, indicating it is now in test mode. The collar will beep and give a stimulation for each of the 10 levels.
- As the stimulation level increases, so does the duration of the sound.
- The length of sound ranges from less than 1.5 seconds up to 4 seconds.
- The volume of the sound does not increase.
Press the button anytime to end test mode early. Otherwise, the collar will automatically end test mode and power off after progressing through all levels.
Fit the Collar
If the collar successfully completes a test cycle, check the fit of the collar on your dog. The sensor must sit on your dog’s vocal chords to detect a bark.
Your dog’s neck should be clean prior to fitting, and each time using the collar, to prevent irritation. If irritation is seen, discontinue the use of the collar until the irritation is gone.
Ensure that the collar is powered off by checking that the light is not flashing.
If the collar is powered on, press and hold the power button until a red light is seen and the collar beeps.
Center the sensor on your dog’s neck while your dog is standing.
Buckle the strap. The collar sits high and snug on your dog’s neck.
Check that one finger fits between the sensor and your dog’s neck.
Important: Refrain from having your dog wear the collar longer than 12 hours at a time to avoid skin irritation.

To loosen
Slide the strap down through the slide, fasten buckles and pull down.

Once the collar has been adjusted, thread the end of the strap through the slide buckle to avoid the strap from loosening.
