Welcome to BarkControlCollars-4Less.com! What to expect from the dog while training

I. Initial Reaction to Correction

The first time the dog receives a correction from the bark control collars for dogs, he may react in a way that concerns you. He may yelp or yip or jump slightly. Do not be alarmed by these reactions. His first reaction to the correction will always be his most intense. After the first few corrections his reaction will lessen. He will eventually just stop barking and remain calm. It is advised that you observe the dog's reactions to the correction.

II. First Week of Training

You should notice an improvement in the dog's barking within the first week of training. At this point many dog owners feel that the "problem has been solved". In some cases this may be true, but in most cases the training is still not complete. Most, if not every dog, will "test" this new learning experience, i.e., they will increase their attempts to get away with barking. This testing period usually occurs during the second week of training. When it does occur you must remain consistent - do not alter the use of the control bark collars.

III. Training Proper

Once the dog is trained, you must continue to place the bark control collar for dogs on him in every situation in which he must be quiet. He may see a new dog or a squirrel through a window for the first time and he may bark. If he is not wearing the bark collar he may get away with barking and his training may suffer a setback. If he is wearing the bark control device, he will stop barking immediately and any setback will be prevented.

Using the Bark Control Collars for Dogs swith other devices
You may have a need to train the dog to do other things. If you decide to use another type of training tool, be selective with the type you use while the dog is wearing the control bark collars. Generally, it is best not to let the dog wear more than one collar at a time. Never use a metal choker collar while the dog is wearing the anti bark collar as it may trigger false signals and possibly false corrections. If you must have a second collar on the dog consider the use of a nylon choker collar or other nonmetallic collar.

If you use a leash, attach it to a collar other than the one used for the bark control devices. You should never attach a leash to the collar and you should never pull the collar while it is on the dog. Doing so may cause injury to his throat.
