How to Use a SportDOG NoBark Rechargeable Bark Control Collar

The SportDOG NoBark Rechargeable Bark Control Collar is a collar designed to aid in training your dog to stop barking. The collar is worn around the dogs neck, as any traditional collar would be. It operates by sending an electrical charge through its contact strip, which shocks the animal, causing it pain whenever the dog barks. Getting starting with the SportDOG is fairly straightforward and with consistent use, can largely deter a dog from habitual barking.

      Plug the rechargeable bark collar's battery charger into a power outlet. Plug the power outlet attachment cable to the connection on the collar. Initially, the light will flash red. When the light flashes green, the charging is complete. Expect this to take approximately four hours.
