You can allow nobarking or set a custom number to indicate how many barks are allowed before correcting your dog. You can also allow some barking (up to 5 barks) to help avoid unintentional corrections resulting from everyday activity, such as yawning, sneezing, or going through a dog door.You can use any of these methods when correcting your dog with the device.• Tone• Vibration• Smart mode• StimulationNOTE: If you turn off all correctionmethods, the device continues to detectyour dog's barks without performing anycorrections.

stimulation intensity level using theGarmin Canine app.Tone: Activates an audible tone. A tonecan provide a patterned interruption tostop a behavior. The tone can be moreeffective when it is already associatedwith a negative consequence oralternate behavior.Vibration: Applies a vibration to the dogfor a short period of time to help breakfocus on the current cause of abehavior. The effectiveness of thevibration may vary based on the dog'stemperament and experience.Automatic IntensityThe device can set the stimulationintensity level automatically based on thebarking behavior of the dog. The devicestarts at the lowest intensity level andincreases the intensity level gradually untilthe dog stops barking. When the dog isquiet, the intensity decreases over time.The automatic intensity feature isdesigned to eliminate excessive nuisancebarking. To stop barks sooner, you shouldset the intensity level manually.The extended panic guard is a safetyfeature that disables stimulation after fourcorrections at the highest level, with 10seconds between corrections. After thefourth correction, the device waits until nobarks are detected in 2 minutes.NOTE: When you set a fixed correctionlevel, the device does not enter extendedpanic guard, even at the highest level ofcorrection.Choosing the Correct Intensity LevelYou should choose the lowest intensitylevel that discourages the dog frombarking. If you have never used a barkcorrection collar with the dog, the dogrequires time and experience to learn thatthe bark is the cause of the correction.1From the Garmin Canine app, set theintensity to the lowest level.2For thirty minutes, when the dog barks,observe the dog for a reaction, such asa head shake, neck movement, achange in the way the dog barks, orjust a change in expression.3If there is no reaction, increase theintensity by one level until the dog hasa slight but recognizable reaction tothe stimulation.4Allow 24 hours for the dog to learn torespond by not barking.8 Quick Start Manual
