- STEP 7: Seal the edge of the collar using a flame.
- STEP 8: Reattach collar to your dog. Check the fit of the collar several times per day. Wipe the stainless steel probes weekly with a damp cloth while collar is in off position.

TRAINING GUIDE
Proper training is essential to achieving the best results from the Sunbeam® Advanced Bark Control Collar for you and your dog. The protected area should not be a cage, crate, or kennel.

These reactions can vary from a dip of the head, to shaking the head, whining, excessive barking, confusion, or running away. The reaction your dog will have is dependent on your dog’s personality.
