Welcome to DogBarkControl-4Less.com! What to expect from the dog while training The first time the dog receives a correction from the dog bark control he may react in a way that concerns owners. 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.

Do not be alarmed by any such reaction. After the first few corrections his reaction will lessen. He will eventually just stop barking and remain calm. It is advised that owners observe the dog's reactions to the correction.

Owners 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 owners must remain consistent - do not alter the use of the dog bark control collars.

Once the dog is trained, owners must continue to place the dog barking control 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 collar, he will stop barking immediately and any setback will be prevented.

Using the Dog Bark Control with other devices
Owners may have a need to train the dog to do other things. If owners decide to use another type of training tool, be selective with the type owners use while the dog is wearing the dog bark control collar. 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 dog barking control device as it may trigger false signals and possibly false corrections. If owners must have a second collar on the dog consider the use of a nylon choker collar or other nonmetallic collar.

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