Little Dog Spray Bark Control is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children.
CAUTION
Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual.
Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on
the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition
is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the neck area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. You may find after some time that your
pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to
continue daily checks of the neck area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the
skin has fully healed.

Little Dog Spray Bark Control must be used only on healthy dogs. We recommend

Collar for six 30-minute sessions over two weeks, we detected no long-term adverse effects, and all
dogs dramatically reduced their barking by the second day.”
