Attaching the Dog Collar Device to a
Collar Strap
You can attach the dog collar device to a
collar strap that is a maximum of 25.4 mm
wide (1 in.) and 2.78 mm thick (0.11 in.).

the end of the collar strap À through
the slot Á on the collar device.
2Pull approximately two-thirds of the
collar strap through the slot  on the
opposite side of the device.

vocal cords. This location varies based
on the breed of dog. If the device does
not seem to detect the dog's barks,
you should move the device closer to
or farther from the dog's body to find
the ideal location.
2Confirm that the ID tags on the collar
strap do not come into contact with the
device.
NOTE: ID tags contacting the device
may cause unintentional corrections.
3Tighten the strap so that it is very snug
around the dog's neck, and fasten the
buckle.
NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and
should not be able to rotate or slide on
the dog's neck. The dog must be able
to swallow food and water normally.
You should observe your dog's
behavior to verify that the collar is not
too tight.
4Wiggle the device to work the contact
points through the dog's coat.
NOTE: The contact points must have
contact with the dog's skin to be
effective.
Garmin Canine
The free Garmin Canine app allows you to
review your dog's daily activity and get
insights into your dog's behavior. The app
also allows you to wirelessly send
software updates to your dog device.
Syncing the Dog Collar Device with the
Garmin Canine App
Garmin® recommends you sync your
device daily to review updated data in the
app and receive important notifications,
such as low battery alerts and software
updates.

Canine app.
Bark Correction
NOTICE
Before playing with your dog, you should
remove the dog collar device or deactivate
the correction feature.
When using the device, you should
remove all other collars, tags, or other
items from your dog. These other items
can cause the device to activate when
the dog is not barking.
The device can correct your dog
automatically when the dog barks. The
device detects vibrations to distinguish
between barking and other vocalizations.
You can use the Garmin Canine app to
manually adjust the amount of barking
allowed. You can allow no
barking 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
• Stimulation
NOTE: If you turn off all correction
methods, the device continues to detect
your dog's barks without performing any
corrections. This can help you track your
dog's barking behavior using the Garmin
Canine app.
Selecting a Training Mode
When your device is paired with a
smartphone (page 5), you can use smart
mode. You must select smart mode on the
collar to use the settings in the Garmin
Canine app. When you do not select smart
6 Quick Start Manual
mode during setup, the device defaults to
the last standard mode you used.
TIP: The device turns off when you hold
the button for more than three seconds.
When the mode is set in the app, the
center LED indicator turns blue and the
smart mode option becomes available
after you cycle through the standard
corrections. You must press the button to
see the current mode. When a correction
is issued in smart mode, the
corresponding LED indicates your
selected correction.
You can select a standard or smart mode.
1Remove the collar band from the
device.
2Press the mode button until the green
LED indicates the current mode.
3Press the mode button within two
seconds to cycle the green LED
through the modes, and select a
mode.
NOTE: When the center LED is blue,
you can select smart mode.
After two seconds, the LED turns from
green to red, and the device issues a
sample correction of your selected
mode.
When you select stimulation mode, the
device does not issue a sample
correction.
If the device is in smart mode, the blue
LED cycles to a green, then a red LED
on the selected correction mode.

Correction Methods
Stimulation: Applies a brief stimulation.
You can manually adjust the
Quick Start Manual 7
stimulation intensity level using the
Garmin Canine app.
Tone: Activates an audible tone. A tone
can provide a patterned interruption to
stop a behavior. The tone can be more
effective when it is already associated
with a negative consequence or
alternate behavior.
Vibration: Applies a vibration to the dog
for a short period of time to help break
focus on the current cause of a
behavior. The effectiveness of the
vibration may vary based on the dog's
temperament and experience.
Automatic Intensity
The device can set the stimulation
intensity level automatically based on the
barking behavior of the dog. The device
starts at the lowest intensity level and
increases the intensity level gradually until
the dog stops barking. When the dog is
quiet, the intensity decreases over time.
The automatic intensity feature is
designed to eliminate excessive nuisance
barking. To stop barks sooner, you should
set the intensity level manually.
The extended panic guard is a safety
feature that disables stimulation after four
corrections at the highest level, with 10
seconds between corrections. After the
fourth correction, the device waits until no
barks are detected in 2 minutes.
NOTE: When you set a fixed correction
level, the device does not enter extended
panic guard, even at the highest level of
correction.
Choosing the Correct Intensity Level
You should choose the lowest intensity
level that discourages the dog from
barking. If you have never used a bark
correction collar with the dog, the dog
requires time and experience to learn that
the bark is the cause of the correction.
1From the Garmin Canine app, set the
intensity to the lowest level.
2For thirty minutes, when the dog barks,
observe the dog for a reaction, such as
a head shake, neck movement, a
change in the way the dog barks, or
just a change in expression.
3If there is no reaction, increase the
intensity by one level until the dog has
a slight but recognizable reaction to
the stimulation.
4Allow 24 hours for the dog to learn to
respond by not barking.

5If the dog continues barking while
wearing the collar, increase the
intensity level gradually until you find
the level that discourages the dog from
barking.
