Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury and even death to their owner

your dog, please consult your veterinarian or certified trainer.

Do not expose the device to freezing temperatures -32°F or 0°C or to
conditions warmer than 113°F or 45°C. Do not leave the unit in direct
sunlight. Never leave the unit in a car where the device can heat up to
high temperatures 113°F or 45°C.

The Bark Control Collar is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of
children. Use it only for its bark stopping purpose.

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 and the contact area of the collar
weekly with a damp cloth.

• Examine the contact 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. Some pets
are sensitive to contact pressure. 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 contact
area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has
fullyhealed.

The Bark Control Collar must be used only on healthy dogs over
6 months of age. We recommend that you take your dog to a
veterinarian before using the collar if he is not in good health.

• Do not puncture. Contact of liquid propellant with skin may
causefrostbite.

• Do not ingest. In case of accident, seek medical care. If swallowed
seek immediate medical advice.

How the System Works

The PetSafe® Anti-Bark Spray Collar™ Basic Spray Bark Control is simple to operate. When
the sound of your dog’s bark triggers the microphone, a burst of spray is emitted which dogs
find unpleasant. While not harmful, it is a sufficient deterrent to excessive barking.
