HINTS & TIPS:
Maintenance for Bark Collars, Dog Fence Collars and Remote Dog Training Collars:
There are a couple of important things that all collar owners should do to get the best life out of their products. I am referring to all collar users in this case whether it be bark collars, containment system collars or remote training collars. Some regular and simple checks can and will save you money over time. Here's a few simple tips:
1. Regularly check the state of plastic clips and buckles on your collar strap. Damaged clips and buckles can mean the difference between your dog going out with his containment collar on and then coming back without it, or worse still getting out of your block. If you live on a large property, good luck finding it too!
2. Regularly check the quality of the strap material. If you bark collar has a nylon strap and it is becoming frayed or stitching is coming undone contact us to get a replacement before it is too late. Many dogs have taken great pleasure in chewing their collar to bits once it has come loose!!
3. Regularly check that the metal probes on any collar are tightened adequately. Many electric collars are secured to the strap by the probes and washers. We recommend hand tightening and then one slight turn with a small spanner etc. Always be careful to not over tighten and damage the thread. Not checking the tightness of the probes is a very common reason for lost collars.
4. Regularly check the tightness of batteries, battery covers and screws. Water and electronics generally do not mix! All things work their way loose over time. A general check will help keep your collar intact.
