OPERATION

Reinforce Learning Behaviours

If your dog understands command but responds slowly or inconsistently, the training collar can help reinforce learning behaviours.
For example, if you’ve trained your dog’s recall, but over time the response time becomes slower. You can use the training collar to reinforce your commands.

1. Set the receiver collar to initial stimulation level and test it.
2. Fit the receiver collar on your dog’s neck along with their regular collar.
3. Let your dog walk around the training area. Give the command and simultaneously press one of the three training buttons.
4. As soon as your dog moves toward you, release the training button and reward your dog’s behaviour with praise.
5. If your dog stops before they reach you or turns away repeat the command and continue the vibration/beep. Again, stop immediately as your dog runs to you and reward them by praising him or feeding them a treat. Repeat this for 3 or 4 times.

Tips:

1. If your dog doesn’t respond after the first few times, do not give up and do not increase the stimulation. Instead continue the training a couple of times per day.
2. During the training period never give commands if you are not able to enforce it with the training collar. Your dog must make the mental connection between the vibration/ beep to his behaviour (this may take a week or more depending on your dog).
3. Train up to 3 dogs with one remote transmitter (additional receiver sold separately).

Note:

• Training collars are used to train the dogs and not for punishment.
• Used properly and with care, the collar is a safe and effective tool to train, build communication and strengthen your bond with your dog.

Charging the Remote Transmitter

1. Connect the charging cable to the charging port.
2. Connect the charger to a USB power adapter (not supplied).
3. The battery indicator will flash during charging and be solid when charging is complete.

Note:

• Both the remote transmitter and the receiver will need to be charged for 2 hours before first use.

Charge the Receiver

1. Open the charging port cover, connect the charging cable to the charging port.
2. Connect the charger to a USB power adapter (not supplied).
3. The indicator will flash red, slowly during charging and turn solid red when fully charged.

2. Press the power button to turn the transmitter off.

Turn the Receiver Collar On

• Press the power button once, the receiver will emit a short “beep” indicating the receiver is turned on. The indicator will flash red once every 8 seconds.

Check Receiver Battery Level

• With the receiver turned on, press the power button twice quickly to check the battery level.

Turn the Receiver Collar Off

• Press the power button once, the receiver will emit a short “beep” and the indicator will stop flashing. The receiver is now off.

Tips:

• The collar cannot receive any signals from the remote transmitted while it is charging.
• When the receive battery is low, it will “beep” for 10 seconds and then automatically turn off. The receiver will need to be charged.
• If not being used for an extended period, ensure the receiver is charged at least once a month.

Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver

1. Turn on the transmitter and select one of the channels by pressing the CH button.
2. Adjust the intensity levels by pressing the “+” and “–” buttons (ensure the level is above 1).
3. Turn the receiver on, the receiver will emit a short “beep”. The indicator will flash red once every 8 seconds.
4. Press and hold the power button on the receiver for 2 seconds, the indicator will begin flashing rapidly for 10 seconds, press one of the training buttons (tone & vibration/vibration/ tone) within 10 seconds.
5. Press one of the training buttons again, the receiver will emit the corresponding sound/vibration confirming the pairing is successful.
6. To pair another receiver (sold separately), choose a different channel and repeat steps 2-5.

Test the Training Collar

• Once the remote and receiver(s) are paired. Test each of the functions before attaching the collar to your pet.

4. When the transmitter is turned off, all buttons except for the LED light will be invalid.

Training & Automatic Anti Bark Modes

This product also features an Anti Bark mode. By default, it will be in training mode.

• To turn Anti Bark mode on, with the transmitter turned on, press and hold the remote power button for 3 seconds, the receiver will “beep” once indicating Anti Bark mode is enabled.
• To turn the Anti Bark mode off, with the transmitter turned on, press and hold the remote power button for 3 seconds, the receiver will “beep” twice indicating Anti Bark mode is disabled.

Anti bark mode:

• When the dog barks, the receiver will produce a 2-second warning sound.
• If a second bark occurs within 30 seconds, the receiver will produce a 3-second warning sound.
• If a third bark occurs within 30 seconds, the receiver will play a warning sound for 5 seconds along with a weak vibration. This will help train your dog to not bark upon hearing the warning sound.
• This cycle repeats up to 7 times. Initially, the warnings consist of sound only for the first two instances. If barking persists, subsequent triggers activate the sound & vibration mode for cycles 3 through 7. The intensity of the vibration gradually increases to guide your dog’s behaviour effectively.

Automatic protection:

• Regardless of how frequently the barking device is triggered, it automatically resets and reverts to its initial standby state once the dog ceases barking for 30 seconds.
• As a safeguard for your dog, the indicator light switches to rapid flashing mode if the device is activated 7 times consecutively. Subsequently, the barking device pauses for 1 minute before returning to its initial standby mode, ensuring your dog’s well-being.

Fitting the Collar

1. Proper positioning is crucial for effective and safe pet training. Position the receiver on the bottom of your pet’s neck.
2. Maintain a space between the receiver collar and your pet’s neck that allows for the insertion of one finger. Avoid making it too loose, as this could significantly impact the effectiveness of the vibration.
3. The receiver collar can be trimmed to ensure a comfortable, safe fit for your dog.

Setting the Initial Training Level Intensity

Knowing the intensity of each mode will be helpful to control the stimulation.
To set the initial training intensity level you must first determine the lowest stimulation that will clearly get your dog’s attention by the following steps:

1. Set intensity to at zero using the “-” button.
2. Fit the collar properly on your dog’s neck and start the training.
3. If the dog does not focus on you, begin the stimulation and progressively increase the levels until your dog responds to the beep/vibration.

Note:

• Every dog is individual and unique. Some are more sensitive than others and some learn more slowly or quickly. Be sure to test out each level on each individual dog.

WARNING

• If your dog yelps or jumps, this indicates that the level is too high.

Stopping Unwanted Behaviour

For this type of training, you need to set the collar at a predetermined stimulation level as outlined in the “Setting the Initial Training Level Intensity” section.

1. Let your dog roam in the area where they might misbehave, for example eating from the rubbish.
2. Get yourself out of sight or at a discreet distance and wait.
3. When the dog misbehaves, press one of the training buttons. This will cause your dog to associate the signal with their misbehaviour. If your dog doesn’t respond, you can increase the level.

Note

• Timing is crucial. Catching the unwanted behaviour and sending the signal at the precise moment can drastically shorten training time.

Training Advice

• Collar Wise: It is important that your dog is NOT aware that the correction is coming from the collar. Otherwise, they will not misbehave when wearing the collar but continue the unwanted behaviour when the collar is off. This is referred to as “collar-wise”.
  • Note: Before training let your dog wear the collar for 5-7 days (no more than 8 hours per day) so that he can be accustomed to the weight of the collar and believe it is just another normal collar.
• Positive Reinforcement: It will be helpful if you praise your dog as soon as it responds to the collar. Reward is with a pat, verbally or with a treat.
  • Note: Do not let your dog become aware that it is you causing the stimulation around its neck. Rather, let your dog associate the sensation with bad behaviour.
