How To Properly Fit One On The Dog

Many people who buy bark collars think that they’re not working properly when they put them on the dog, but in actuality, most of the time the collar has not been fitted properly. If you want the deterrent to work as it should, position it in the right spot to detect the barking.

Make sure the metal probes are connecting to your dog’s skin and that the collar is high up on the neck, right under the jaw line. This will be the narrowest part of the neck, which will prevent the collar from slipping off or not working properly.

You may also have some trouble getting the collar at the right amount of tightness - this is because these collars are traditionally tighter than a normal leather or nylon collar. However, rest assured that they will not hurt your dog as your pup has a powerful neck. It won’t obstruct your dog’s breathing and needs to be tight enough so that it doesn’t move around.

To help fit it on your dog’s neck, keep your dog’s coat in mind. If they have very thick fur, it’s possible that you might need to shave a small patch of their hair so the prongs touch their skin because if they aren’t, they won’t actually work.
