• This is not a toy, and should only be operated by a responsible adult.

CAUTION
Before your first training, please read and follow the instructions in this manual carefully.
The cautions below will help keep your dog safe and comfortable. Millions of dogs are comfortable when they wear stainless steel contacts, while some dogs are sensitive to contact pressure.

• It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while learning during on -leash training. Your dog should be on a strong leash (do not attach the leash to the Training Collar), long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for
  him not to reach a road or other hazard. You must also be physically strong enough to restrain your dog when he tries to chase.

• Risk of skin damage. Proper collar fitment is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the dog’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.

• DO NOT leave the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.

• When possible re-position the collar on the dog’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.

• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.

• Never connect an extra leash to the collar; it will cause excessive pressure on thecontacts.

• Clean the dog’s neck area and the contact probes 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 the use of the collar until the skin has healed.

• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

• Receiver collar meets IP67 waterproof rating, it can be submerged in water up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. If submerged and wet, please do not use it.

• The Receiver comes with conductive silicone covers, please ensure they are worn on the contact points before putting it on your dog, and check for the presence of the silicone covers every hour.

How the System Works
The Remote Training Collar is easy to use with an advanced digital display that tells you the exact stimulation level you are using.
The Remote Training Collar assists you in controlling your dog without a leash.
At the push of a button, your Remote Transmitter sends a signal activating your dog’s Receiver. He receives a safe but annoying stimulation. He’ll quickly learn the association between his behavior and your correction, and soon you’ll have a better-behaved dog.
The Remote Training Collar has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for both small and large dog breeds.
If using the Remote Training Collar consistently and correctly, any basic obedience commands can be taught and will help correct any misbehavior that your dog exhibits.

these steps:

1. Make sure that the Receiver is turned off.

2. Let your dog stand on four feet or lay down fully (A).

3. Place the Receiver on your dog’s neck close to the ears. Center the Contact Points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (B).
   Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.

4. The Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit the strap and your dog’s neck (C).

5. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable with the Receiver.

6.  To attach the collar to the Receiver, please follow the following steps as instructed to thread the strap.

CAUTION： Risk of Skin Damage. Wearing the collar too long or fitting the collar too tight may cause pressure necroses, which are often misidentified as burns. Please follow the below instructions to avoid pressure necroses:
DO NOT shave the dog’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation.

Training Tip

Find the best stimulation for your dog
Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
The Remote Training Collar has 8 types of Warning Tones, 16 levels of Vibration, and 18 levels of Shock. For Warning Tones, there are 8 types of Tones, with only frequency differences between the different types. For Vibration and Shock, level 1 is the lowest; the highest level for Vibration is level 16, and level 18 for Shock. This allows you to choose the Stimulation level that is best for your dog. Once you have placed the Receiver on your dog, it is time to find the Stimulation Level that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level. A slight change in your dog’s behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar, or flicking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for your dog.
Follow the steps below to find your dog’s Recognition Level:

1. Starting at Level 1, press the Warning Tone/Vibration/Shock Button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.
   Note: When the Warning Tone/Vibration/Shock Button is held down for 0.4consecutive seconds, the Remote Transmitter will “time out”, and you must release and press the button again before additional stimulation can be delivered.

2. If your dog shows no reaction, repeat the Stimulation Level several times before moving up to the next level.

3. YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVELIS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.

4. Move up through the Stimulation Levels until your dog reliably responds to the stimulation.

5. If your dog continues to show no response at the highest level of Vibration or Static Shock, check the fit of the Receiver. If your dog has long or thick hair, contact our Customer Care Center to obtain a longer set of Contact Points. Then go back to #1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any results, your dog’s hair will need to be trimmed around the Contact Points. If, after completing all of these steps, your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the stimulation, please contact our customer service.

How to Maximize the distance?

Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range. Hold the Remote Transmitter in a horizontal position away from your body to achieve optimum range. For maximum signal strength, keep the device properly charged.

*Avoid touching the antenna or the range may decrease substantially.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Stimulation safe for my dog?

A: While the Stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your dog. Electronic training devices require interaction and training from the owner to achieve desired results.

Q: How old does my dog have to be before using the Remote Training Collar?

A: Your dog should be able to recognize basic obedience commands such as Sit'' or “Stay''. Dogs should be at least 6 months old before using the Remote Training Collar.

Q: Once my dog is trained and has been obeying my commands, will he have to continue to wear the Receiver?

A: Probably not. You may need to reinforce training with the Receiver from time to time.

Q: Is the Receiver waterproof?

A: Yes. The Receiver meets the IP67 waterproof rating, but make sure to keep the area dry when charging. Note: Remote Transmitter is not waterproof.

Q: Will I get a maximum range with the Remote Training Collar?

Trouble Shooting

1. My dog does not respond when I press a button.
   Make sure the Receiver has been turned on.
   If your range has reduced from the first time you used the Remote Training Collar, the battery(-ies) may be low in either the Remote Transmitter or Receiver. Many factors can impact the amount of range you have with the Remote Training Collar. For a list of these factors, see “How to Maximize the Distance” on page 18.
   Test the Receiver with the Test Bulb. Refer to “Testing the Receiver with the Test Bulb” on page 7 for detailed steps.
   NOTE: If the Test Bulb does not flash, recharge the Receiver and re-test.
   If the Test Bulb Tool still does not flash, please contact our customer service.
   Increase the Stimulation Level. Refer to “Find the best stimulation for your dog” on page 17 for more information.
   Make sure the Receiver’s Contact Points are placed snugly against your dog’s skin. Refer to “Fitting the Receiver” on page 14 for more information.

2. The Receiver will not turn on.
   Make sure the Receiver has been charged. For the initial charge, be sure to charge it for 4 hours. Subsequent charges only take 2-3 hours.

3. The Receiver is not responding to the Remote Transmitter.
   Verify the Receiver is on.
   If the indicator is blinking rapidly, fully charge the Receiver.
   If the first two solutions did not resolve your problems, please check the “How to pair the Remote Transmitter & Receiver” section.
