- Tighten the strap so that it fits snugly on your dog’s neck and should not be able to rotate around the neck. The tightness is at most fit if one finger can be inserted underneath.
NOTE: the collar should fit tightly and should not be able to rotate or slide on your dog’s neck. Your 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.

NOTE: The electrodes must have contact with the dog’s skin to be effective. If your dog has thick fur, please separate the fur at the electrodes with a comb to enable them to reach the skin.
When you are satisfied with the fit of the collar, you may want to adjust the excess strap length. After removing the collar, you can put the strap’s end back through the buckle, or trim away excess strap length and seal the strap’s end with a lighter or candle flame.

Training Tips

- Do not use the device on dogs aged below 6 months, old, pregnant, easily frightened, aggressive, in heat, or in inferior health conditions.
- Use verbal commands first, and supplement with corrective stimulus only as needed. Be consistent with your verbal commands; use the same word every time. Work with your pet on one behavior at a time to avoid confusion and frustration. Rewarding your dog with food treats will usually help to achieve the best result.
- Use as little stimulus as possible and only reinforce verbal commands when necessary. Do not overcorrect your dog.
- For example, use the beep sound as a warning by pressing the beep button. The dog will become conditioned to the beep preceding the corrective stimulus and will soon learn to recognize the beep as a warning along with your verbal command.
