Fitting the Collar on Your Dog

CAUTION
To prevent irritation from the contact points, remove the collar for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour period.
This device is not intended for human use. Do not attempt to use on any person.
Do not spray the device or collar wfth harsh chemicals including but not limited to flea or tiok spray. Always ensure that any flea or tick spray that is applied to the dog is completely dry before placing the collar on the dog. Small amounts of harsh chemicals can damage the plastic components and oollar laminate.
In order to effectively train the dog the collar and device must fit the dog properly. If the collar is too loos e or positioned incorrectly, stimulation may be inconsistent. This can delay or prevent successful training.

1. Position the device at the front of the dog’s neck, with the status LED facing toward the dog’s chin and the contact points against the throat.
   TIP: For bark correction, the device’s contact points should be positioned near the dog’s vocal cords. This location varies based on the breed of dog. If the devioe 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.

2. Tighten 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.

3. Wiggle the device to work the contact points through the dog’s ooat.
   NOTE: The contact points must have contact with the dog’s skin to be effective.

4. If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least 8 cm (3 in.) to spare.
   TIP; You can mark the hole used to fasten the buckle for future reference. 8 cm (3 in.) to spare.

Selecting and Installing the Contact Points
For best results, select the correct contact points based on your dog’s coat.

1. 1 Select the correct c-0 ntact point length for your dog’s coat type:
   • For dogs with thicker c-0ats, use the longer contact points.
   • Fo r dogs with shorter ooats. use the shorter contact points.
2. If necessary, use the included wrench to remove the contact points.
3. Twist the contact points inl:o the collar.
4. Tighten with the included wrench, but do not overtighten.
   When you put the oollar on the dog, make sure the contact points are tig ht against the neck.

Dog Training
You should research and investigate the training methods best suited for yo u, your dog, and your needs.
When used properly, the Sport PRO training system is an effective training tool to aid your dog in reaching its full potential. The use of the training system should be part of an overall training program.

Training Methods

• Momen.tary stimulation: Applies a brief stimulation when you press the training key, regardless of how long the key is
  depressed.

• Continuous stimulation: Applies stimulation to the dog the entire time you press the training key, for a maxim.um of 6 seconds. Your stimulation s should typically be much shorter than 8 seconds.

• Tone: Activates an audible tone instead of stimulation. A tone can be used as either a positive or negative training cue, depending on your training program.

• Vibration: Applies vibration instead of stimulation to the dog the entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of B seconds. The effectiveness of vibration may vary based o th e dog’s temperament and experience.

Choosing the Correct Intensity Level

1. Set the intensity to the lowest level.

2. Select a training key.

3. Observe the dog for a reaction, such as a head shake, neck movement or just a change in expression.
   Sometimes dogs wil I vocalize due to the surprise of the electrical stimulation. If the dog vocalizes more than once, the intensity level is too high for beginning training.

4. If there is no reaction, increase the intensity level by one level until the dog has a slight but recognizable reaction to the stimulation.

The intensity level that causes a slight but recognizable reaction is your dog’s baseline level for beginning collar ta ining. You do not need to, and should not, apply this intensity selection test again.
After you begin training, the dog’s performance guides your
intensity selection. As the dog advances in training, you may need to change the level depending upon the training situation.

Changing, the Intensity Level!
You can select a different intensity level for each dog collar device.

1. Select a dog oollardev!ce (Selecting a Dog CoHarDevice, page 2).
2. Adjust the dial to Increase or decrease the Intensity level.
