Hints and Tips No. 4 Getting Your Bark Collar Up and Running
There is nothing more frustrating than getting a new product, and then not being able to get it going in the way you expected. This can especially apply to bark collars! Particularly when you (and your neighnbours!) have been sweating on it's arrival to stop your dog barking problem.
Ninety-nine percent of all the calls or emails we get from customers who cannot get their bark collar going are fitting related. That's right! There is rarely any problem with the bark collar itself or the fact the collar is not suitable for the dog. The main issue is that the collar has not been placed on the dog properly.
All static electric bark collars and spray bark collars that are vibration activated require the collar to be fitted on the dogs neck in an appropriate way that the barking can be detected and in the case of electric collars, give the correction to the dog. This time of year with many dogs having a thicker undercoat to get through the cold of winter can make it a little harder than when the weather is warmer.
