Introduction:
The Makony Anti-Bark Collar stops barking with progressively increasing sound and shock which is
controlled by a microprocessor distinguishing your dog's bark from other environmental noises and
automatically delivers sound and shock after each bark.
Principles of operation:
At the first bark, Makony Anti-Bark Collar applies a short warning tone. If a second bark occurs
within thirty seconds, a more intense tone is sounded. From the third bark, a more intense tone is
sounded along with a short, mild shock.
This pattern is repeated through 7 correction levels. The first two levels are only with
progressively warning tone. If your dog continues to bark through the rest five levels, the more
intense sound and shock are applying after each bark until your pet stops for thirty seconds, and
then Anti-Bark Collar will automatically reset to the first "tone only" level of correction. To protect
the dog, if the continuous stimulus reaches the 7th level, the collar will stop working for 1 min.
The use of the warning tone followed by increasingly intense tones and shocks sets up a pattern
that your dog will quickly learn that those are caused by its own barking. It takes time to get rid of
bad habits.
When your dog forgets and barks again, the warning tone reminds your pet without immediately
applying annoying stimulus. At each step, your dog gets to choose whether it's worth the increasing
pain to bark again. We have found this technique of progressively increasing sound and shock is
not only more humane, it is more EFFECTIVE in breaking the barking habit than conventional
shocking bark control collars.
The Makony can be adjusted to control the sensitivity of the voice, according to the size of dogs
barking.
Operating Instructions:
1. Installing/Replacing the Battery
Take off the battery cover and make sure you install the battery correctly. Install the new
battery between the "clip" and "spring" contacts. Note that "spring" contact is for the
negative end and "clip" contact is for the positive end shown below.
2. Adjustable Sensitivity Voice Activated Makony Anti-Bark Dog Collar is almost completely
automatic. Just install a 6-volt battery, adjust the strap to the size of your dog's neck and
automatically it begins to working. There are two BUTTONS used to adjust the sensitivity
to the bark, and every time there will be "Beep" out of tone, sensitivity will gradually be
enhanced or weakened. The more sensitive, the easier to trigger the collar.
There are total 7 levels of sensitivities. It’s set to 4 levels automatically when you install
the Battery.
3. Putting Anti-Bark Collar on Your Dog.
Place the unit around your dog's neck and adjust the collar length using the slide buckle
arrangement provides with the strap. The unit should fit snugly underneath your dog's
neck.
Make sure that the electrodes are in the direct contact with your dog's skin. Hair between
the electrodes and skin will severely diminish the shock effect, if necessary, it is advisable
to clip or shave your dog's fur under the neck to insure direct contact.
How to Test
Hold the plastic test light on the metal probes and proceed to blow in the hole. The levels will vary
depending on how hard you blow onto it. The higher the level is, the less forceful the blow has to
be to set it off. When you blow in the collar and it lights up it will typically be at level 4.
According to the thickness of your dog’s hair to choose whether long metal probes or short metal
probes.
Caution Notes:
1. Do not allow your dog to chew this collar. You should also attempt to minimize scratching or
clawing at the casing.
2. This device is made up of plastic and electronic components that are not digestible. Consult your
local vet if your dog swallows any part of this product.
3. The collar is not intended for use as a restraining collar. If you are using a leash, use it with a
separate restraining type of collar.
4. Although the Anti-Bark Collar's microprocessor is designed to differentiate your dog's individual
bark from stray environmental noises, the unit may occasionally be activated by other vibrations
or sounds.
This is normal but, it should not happen so often as to be confusing to your pet. If the unit is falsely
triggered by excessive scratching, shaking of the head or rolling on the ground, your pet may be
suffering from fleas or ear mites. If these activities are evident, have you pet checked by a
veterinarian for parasites.
