Things You'll Need
- 1 6-volt alkaline battery
Instructions
Insert an alkaline 6-volt battery by unscrewing the battery compartment of the collar. Secure it into place and screw the battery compartment door back in place. A 6-volt battery can be found at just about any hardware, home improvement or electronic store.
Fit the collar to your dog's neck. Be sure it is not too tight or too loose. A general rule of thumb is that you should be able to fit two fingers between your dog's neck and the collar.
Allow your dog to go about his or her normal routine. When the dog barks, the collar will automatically send a small signal alerting it to stop barking. This will train your dog to associate the signal with barking and eventually lead to no more barking.
