Important Safety Information

WARNING

Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is aggressive, or if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury and even death to their owner and others. If you are unsure whether this product is appropriate for your dog, please consult your veterinarian or certified trainer.

CAUTION

Risk of Skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. The proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers, this condition is commonly known as bedsores. These collars can cause pressure necrosis if used incorrectly and is often misidentified as burns.

• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours. Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth. Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.

• Important: If the transmitter is in sleep mode (the LCD display is turned off) you must press the “Y” button once to wake up the unit, then press the “Y” button again to send the signal from the remote to the collar receiver. This applies to all functions.

Test LED Light Function

• Press the LED light Button, the LED light will turn on, which means the LED light button works.
• Note: I: If the LCD of the Remote Transmitter does not display, there is probably two reasons:

1. Light Standby: In order to save power, the Remote Transmitter will go into Standby Mode if there is no operation after 20 seconds, press any button except LED Light Button to activate Remoter Transmitter, LCD will display.
2. Deep Sleep: In order to save power, the Remote Transmitter will go into Deep Sleep Mode if there is no operation after 2 minutes, hold the Mode button for 5  seconds to activate the Remote Transmitter, and LCD will display.
3. Their receiver collar will go into deep sleep if no operation for 4 minutes. And any movement by the dog will activate the receiver. If the Receiver Collar has no response when you press the Y button, and the Indication light of the Receiver Collar is not on either, you can shake Receiver Collar or force the dog to move, and the indication light of the Receiver Collar will show green, which means the Receiver Collar is activating and will work.
4. When testing, choose any mode except LED light. When you are under Vibration or Static Shock mode, Intensity Level cannot be at a stimulation level of 0, press UP/DOWN to adjust.

Fit The Receiver Collar with your dogs:

Important: The proper fit and placement of your collar is important for effective training. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet’s skin on the underside of the dog’s neck.

To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:

1. Have your pet standing comfortably (3A).

2. Centre the Contact Points underneath your pet’s neck, touching the skin (3B). If your pet has a long or thick coat, please use longer Contact Points, we enclosed 2 sets Contact Points, short ones and longer ones.
   CAUTION: here are 100 levels for Vibration and Stimulation. The strong Stimulation can penetrate the hair of the pet and fabric within 6mm thick. Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation.

3. The Collar should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between the strap and your pet’s neck.(3C)

4. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your pet becomes more comfortable with the Collar.

CAUTION: Risk of skin damage.

• The Receiver Collar is not designed to be worn constantly. We recommend the Collar not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period.
• Most pets feel uncomfortable at first wearing the collar. Don’t use any functions until the pet has gotten used to the collar.
• We suggest you give the dog a Vibration before starting the Static Shock. After a time of training, the dog will learn that Static Shock Stimulation will come after Vibration. In this way, the vibration alone can effectively curb the improper deeds of the pet. The Stimulation only acts as a menace that might be unnecessary most of the time.

Re-Thread the Collar (as diagram)

Regular Maintenance

• Check Contact Points for tightness weekly.

• Clean Contact Points with alcohol weekly.
  Note: remove the battery and discharge Regular the Bark Automatic Control Collar before touching the Contact Points.

• Check your dog’s neck for irritation and wash your neck weekly.

General Training Tips

The following are tips on how to get the best out of your Petrainer Remote Pet Training Collar:

1. Make the training sessions short and positive (between 10-15 minutes long for each time), which will enable your dog to keep its attention focused on you.
2. Train one dog at a time.
3. During initial training sessions, keep your dog in a familiar outdoor environment e.g. an enclosed area of the garden and away from other dogs/animals and people. Training in new locations may cause your dog to become distracted causing you to reinforce your commands with the remote collar receiver more often collar-receiver more than accordingly.
4. Use a long leash fastened to a non-metallic collar to help his/her learning. Ensure the additional collar and leash do not interfere with the skin contact of the metal probes on the collar receiver. Do not use the remote training collar without a long leash until your dog is fully trained.
5. You will have more success by teaching the dog a command first before trying to reinforce to command with the remote trainer.
6. For basic obedience training, VIBRATION and AUDIO modes are more useful.
7. Issue an obedience command at a time, which will focus your dog’s attention and reduce confusion. Do not use the remote collar to correct commands that have not already been covered.
8. During training, look for all the positive changes in your dog’s behavior and remember to reinforce them promptly with ample praise and reward.
9. Avoid over-correcting your dog. Use as few remote corrections as possible during the training process.
10. When your dog has become apparently perplexed, shift the focus of the training session by drawing his/her attention to a command they are familiar with, e.g. sit. Give your dog praise and encouragement galore on successful completion of the command. Repeat this several times before returning to training with remote corrections.
11. If you know a particular misbehavior your dog does, then reinvent this situation during a training session. You will have far more success if you deal with one misbehavior at a time in a controlled situation.
12. Be consistent; give your dog a tone, vibration or static stimulation correction for each misbehavior. When reinforcing a command with a correction. It is critical that you do so without emotion then immediately praise and reward your dog for marking the right decision.
13. When your dog seems to react in a timid and frightened fashion to either the tone, vibration, or static stimulation, particularly in early training sessions, do not be flabbergasted. Shift the focus of the training session by drawing his/her attention to a command they are familiar with. E. G. sit and give your dog abundant praise and encouragement on successful completion of the command.
14. Do not use Petrainer Remote Pet Training Collar to correct or eliminate forms of aggression or biting behavior. When your dog is showing signs of aggressive behavior then contact a professional dog trainer in your vicinity.
15. Please be reminded that you should keep training sessions short and end every session on a high note. Stop training and play with your dog as soon as he/she has accomplished a new level of proficiency.

How does the Petrainer PET998DBB Rechargeable Dog Training Collar work?****

The Petrainer PET998DBB Rechargeable Dog Training Collar uses a remote control to deliver a harmless but annoying correction to your dog. When your dog barks or gets out of the yard, you can correct him with the push of a button.

Can you leave a shock collar on a dog all the time?****

As far as the safety factors involved in wear time, understand that a dog CANNOT wear the e-collar 24/7. Wearing the collar constantly will cause skin irritation and potential pressure sores due to the snug fit required for proper use.

How successful are shock collars for dogs?****

Shock collars are not more effective than humane training. While punishment- based tools like shock collars can result in changes in your dog’s behaviour, studies have shown that positive, reward-based training is just as effective.

What happens if you shock a dog too much?****

Shock collars can harm your dog. The electrostatic shock can cause psychological distress for your pet, including phobias and high levels of stress, and can result in unhealthy increases in heart rate and painful burns to your dog’s skin.

Can dogs sleep with shock collar?****

All veterinarians and dog trainers would agree that the collar is not designed to be a 24/7 accessory. Another good reason to remove it at night is nonstop wear could cause fur to break off leading to irritation or infection. The risk jumps if the collar frequently gets wet or if it’s a bit too tight.

Do shock collars stop barking?****

When used to control chronic barking, shock collars work even while you’re away from home or inside the house. This can be especially helpful if you’ve had neighbors complain about your dog’s loud protests. The same goes for shock collars as boundary control, although they do require some hands-on training.

How long do you use a shock collar?****

Besides, you should never put a shock collar, even on an adult dog, for more than two hours since the longer training sessions might make him depressed and anxious.

Do shock collars give dogs anxiety?****

Instead of learning what are acceptable behaviors, shock collars for dogs teach them that they are helpless and disempowered. This can lead to depression, anxiety, or, even worse, aggression.

How long do dog shock collar batteries last?****

The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement, you can order a new pack by contacting us. Please do not open the Collar Receiver or Remote Transmitter until you have received the replacement.

Can shock collars hurt humans?****

Static electric shocks that are experienced in daily life are of the order of 20,000 to 25,000 volts, and yet are not painful or physically damaging because they are of very low current. Depending on design, e-collars can be set so that the shock delivered is only mildly uncomfortable.

What happens if you leave a shock collar on too long?****

If you left the e-collar on the dog for long periods in a day, it could cause bed sores or pressure necrosis on the dog’s neck. With pressure necrosis, the skin around the affected area will gradually die off because blood cannot flow to the affected area due to the constriction of blood capillaries.

When should a shock collar be used?****

You should consider using a shock collar to train your dog only if you’ve reached the limits of positive reinforcement, and even then only after enlisting the help and expertise of a professional trainer or veterinarian.

What level should a shock collar be on?****

With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fitted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter’s Intensity Dial at Level 1 and press the Continuous Stimulation Button for 1 to 2 seconds. If your dog shows no reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process.

Do shock collars make noise?****

Most have several types of enforcement and intensity levels, allowing the user to set the level of shock or choose a less jarring mode such as vibrate. Many shock collars will administer a beep or vibration or sound as a warning before an actual shock is delivered to the dog.
