• Do not short circuit, dispose of in fire, or expose to water. When batteries are stored or disposed, they must be protected from shorting. Dispose of used batteries properly.

• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury or death to their owners and others. If you are not sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to your veterinarian or a certified trainer.

• Safety during on-leash training: 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, long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong enough to restrain your dog when he tries to chase.

• This pet training device is not a toy, keep away from children.

• Risk of skin damage: please read and follow the instructions in this guide. 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 bed sores.

• 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 leash to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.

• When using a separate collar for a leash, 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.

• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.

These steps will help keep your pet secure 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.

How the System Works
The PetSafe® SMART DOG® Trainer is the newest way to train your dog! The SMART DOG Trainer App turns your smartphone into a remote, eliminating the need for the handheld remote used by most trainers. Using BLUETOOTH® wireless technology, your iPhone® or Android ™ phone connects to the training collar and allows you to send a tone, vibration or static stimulation to your dog from up to 75 yards away. This waterproof training collar is rechargeable so there is no need for buying batteries. This training collar is the perfect match for pet parents who are in the process of training their dog and have a smartphone. The SMART DOG Trainer can be used to reinforce desirable behaviors and stop unwanted behaviors such as jumping, digging etc.

How BLUETOOTH® Wireless Technology Works
The PetSafe SMART DOG Trainer uses BLUETOOTH wireless technology to connect your smartphone to your SMART DOG training collar. With this combination, you have an easy, convenient way to communicate with your pet.
The SMART DOG Trainer uses low-energy BLUETOOTH technology. It is easy to use, doesn’t use cellular data, and has a much longer range than standard BLUETOOTH technology.
Ensure BLUETOOTH Feature is Turned On:
Go to your smartphone settings and locate the settings for BLUETOOTH features and be sure it’s turned on.

Connect the Training Collar with the App

1. Your training collar should be partially charged. You’ll want to fully charge it before beginning training. Press and hold the on/off button to turn it on. You will hear a beep and the green LED will begin blinking. Your training collar is now on.

2. Search for and download the free SMART DOG ® Trainer App.

3. Locate and open the app on your smartphone. Next, choose “Connect to a Collar” and the SMART DOG Trainer App will locate your training collar. Press Connect.

4. Next, you’ll assign a PIN (personal identification number). This is a security feature to ensure that other devices will not connect to your training collar.
   NOTE: The same PIN can be used on multiple phones in the same household. However, they cannot be used simultaneously. The SMART DOG Trainer can only operate with one BLUETOOTH ® connection.

5. Your SMART DOG training collar and app are now ready to use. For easy access to your app, place it on the home screen of your smartphone.

Fit the Training Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your training collar is important for effective operation. The contact points must have direct contact with your dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.

To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the training collar is turned off.

2. Start with your dog standing comfortably (A).

3. Place the training collar on your pet so that the PetSafe® logo is right side up and the training collar is directly under your dog’s chin. Center the contact points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (B).
   NOTE: It’s sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the contact points to make sure that contact is consistent. We’ve also included longer contact points.
   

4. Check the tightness of the training collar by inserting one finger between the end of a contact point and your dog’s neck (C). The fit should be snug but not constricting.

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

6.  Trim the training collar as follows (D):
   a. Mark the desired length of the training collar with a pen. Allow for growth if your pet is young or grows a thick winter coat.
   b. Remove the training collar from your pet and cut off the excess and seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the frayed edge.
   

**** Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. The training collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period. Leaving the training collar on too long could lead to skin irritation.

Charge the Training Collar

Excessive charging can shorten battery life. We don’t recommend charging your training collar daily unless a low battery indication is shown.

1. Lift the rubber cover protecting the training collar charging jack and connect the charger (E).
2. Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. The red LED will appear.
3. Recharges take no more than 5 hours. Although your training collar should be partially charged, you’ll want to fully charge it before beginning training. The green LED is solid after charging is complete.
4. When the training collar is charged, replace the rubber cover.

To Turn the Training Collar On

1. Press and hold the on/off Button (F) until you hear a low to high beep and the green LED appears, and then release.
2. The green LED will flash once every 5 seconds. This indicates the training collar is on and ready to receive a signal from your smartphone.

To Turn the Training Collar Off

1. Press and hold the on/off button until the training collar beeps high to low, and then release. The red LED will be illuminated during the button press and will turn off when the training collar turns off.
   Quick Tip: When you’re not using the collar, you’ll want to turn it off. This will increase the battery life of your training collar.

TRAINING GUIDE

Stimulation Methods

The PetSafe ® SMART DOG ® Trainer has 1 tone, 1 vibration, and 15 static stimulation levels. This allows you to choose the stimulation level that is best for your pet. Each dog has a different temperament, and some forms of stimulation work better than others. With 3 stimulation types to choose from on the SMART DOG Trainer, you can find the most effective way to get your dog’s attention.

Tone (Beep)
The SMART DOG Trainer tone volume is non-adjustable. Tone can be used as a warning before vibration or static stimulation to stop unwanted behaviors. Once your dog associates the tone with the vibration or static stimulation, they have the opportunity to choose between continuing the behavior or complying with your command. In time you will likely only need to use the tone. Alternatively, you could use the tone to mark positive behaviors. But you should absolutely never use tone for both. See more in Marking Positive Behaviors with Tone.

Vibration
The SMART DOG Trainer has one non-adjustable level of vibration stimulation. When you push the vibration button, the probes on the training collar will vibrate to interrupt the dog’s behavior. This interruption can be used alone or just before static stimulation, giving your dog the opportunity to choose to comply with your command before a static correction.
Static
The SMART DOG Trainer has 15 levels of static stimulation. This interruption type can be used alone or in combination with tone or vibration. A safe pulse of static stimulation is delivered through two contact points on the training collar. Pets experience a light tingling sensation that interrupts their behavior. Please see Find the Best Stimulation Level for Your Pet for very important information.

Dog Training Recommendations

When Training Begins: Training starts the moment you bring your puppy home. While your dog will not be ready for the PetSafe ® products until 6 months of age, you should begin basic training immediately.
Introducing the Remote Trainer: Introduce your SMART DOG training collar when your dog understands basic obedience commands and is over 6 months of age. Stopping Unwanted Behavior: The level of stimulation should be enough to interrupt your dog and give you the ability to redirect your dog’s attention to another behavior. The behavior you redirect them to should be “incompatible” with the unwanted behavior. For instance, if training a dog not to jump, having them sit instead is incompatible and will keep them from jumping. One Command at a Time: Focus on teaching one command at a time.
NOTE: Using praise or treats immediately after the correct response is great for encouraging your dog to repeat the desired behavior. This can help strengthen the communication between you and your dog.
Collar Conditioning : You don’t want your dog to only associate wearing the training collar with being corrected. While your dog is wearing the collar, make sure to spend ample time playing and letting your dog be a dog. Take the same care in not causing your dog to associate your smartphone with being stimulated. That means that they should see your phone, not just when being stimulated, but at other times. For most people, this shouldn’t be a problem.
NOTE: If your pet reacts to the training tone by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behavior, such as The Sit Command. Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tones. Therefore, training sessions should be conducted outside of the hearing range of other pets.

Marking Positive Behaviors with Tone

You can use the SMART DOG ® Trainer to either mark positive behaviors or negative behaviors, but definitely not both! If you decide to use tone to mark positive behaviors, never confuse your dog by also marking negative behaviors with tone. If you use a PetSafe ® containment system, you should only use tone to mark negative behaviors, as your dog is conditioned to associate the tone with a correction if they don’t retreat from their boundary. If you decide to use tone to mark positive behavior, spend 10 to 15 minutes per day for 2 or 3 days helping your dog to associate the tone with reward and praise. Do this before beginning training with vibration or static:

1. Push the tone button for 2 consecutive seconds.
2. Release the button and immediately reward your pet with verbal praise, petting, or a small food reward. Spend 3 to 5 seconds on your reward.
3. Wait a few minutes and repeat holding the tone button for 2 seconds followed with praise.
4. Vary the reward to prevent your pet from anticipating a specific type. This stage of training is complete when your pet obviously anticipates a reward when he hears the tone.

Find the Best Stimulation Level for Your Pet
Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up. The SMART DOG Trainer has 1 vibration and 15 static stimulation levels. This allows you to choose the stimulation level that is best for your pet. Once you have placed the training collar on your pet, it is time to find the “recognition level”. The “recognition level” is the stimulation level that your dog begins to notice. It should not make your pet uncomfortable. Your pet should NOT vocalize or panic when receiving stimulation. If this happens, the stimulation is too high and you need to go back to the previous level. Follow the steps below to find your pet’s recognition level:

1. Choose the vibration button and press it continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.
2. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat this several times before moving to static stimulation.
3. Starting at Level 1 on the static level adjuster, press the stimulation button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.
4. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat this stimulation level several times before moving up to the next level.
5. YOUR PET SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
6. Move up through the static stimulation levels until your pet reliably responds to the stimulation.
7. If your pet continues to show no response at Level 15, check the fit of the training collar. See Fit the Training Collar. You might also want to test it on your hand to ensure the collar is working.

If all of these steps have been done and your pet continues to show no reaction to the stimulation, please contact our Customer Care Center.
Test the Training Collar
We recommend you experience first-hand how static stimulation functions. Always begin at the lowest level and increase the intensity up to your personal comfort level.

1. Place one finger on both contact points of the training collar.

2. Hold your smartphone approximately 2 feet from the training collar. Starting at level 1 on the static level adjuster, press the static button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds. At this level you may not feel the stimulation.
   NOTE: Continuous stimulation will transmit for no more than ten continuous seconds. To reactivate, release and repress the button.

3. Increase the level on the static level adjuster until the sensation begins to feel uncomfortable.

Never use the training collar to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.

Teaching Basic Obedience

The Sit Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck above the training collar, and attach a 10-foot leash.
   NOTE: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points.

2. Hold the leash and your smartphone in one hand. Keep your other hand free to guide your pet into a “Sit” position.

3. Simultaneously give the “Sit” command and hold the tone button for 1 to 2 seconds followed by immediately continuously holding the vibration button.

4. If your dog doesn’t respond to vibration after repeated attempts, switch to static stimulation at your dog’s recognition level.

5. Release the stimulation button as soon as your pet is in position, and praise him.

6. Release your pet from the “Sit” command and play.

7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6.
   NOTE: If your pet breaks the “Sit” command, repeat steps 3 through 6. Keep your pet close to you while teaching the “Sit” command.

The Recall Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck above the training collar and attach a 10-foot leash.
   NOTE: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points.

2. Hold your leash in one hand and your smartphone in the other.

3. Wait for your pet to walk away from you.

4.  Simultaneously give the “Come” command while holding down the tone button for 1 to 2 seconds, immediately followed by continuously holding the vibration button.

5. Using the leash, gently guide your pet toward you until he begins to come in your direction.

6. Immediately release the vibration button as soon as your pet steps towards you, and praise him enthusiastically.

7. Quickly move backwards as your pet begins to come back to you, praising him the entire time.

8. Praise your pet when he returns to you.

9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8.

10. If your dog doesn’t respond to vibration after repeated attempts, switch to static stimulation at your dog’s recognition level.

11. Once your pet responds readily to the “Come” command several times, back away from him without giving a command. When your pet turns toward you, give the command “Come” (without stimulation) and praise him while you continue to back up. Praise your pet when he returns to you.

12. Use your leash to prevent your pet from running past you. If your pet manages to run past you, repeat Steps 3 through 8.

The Stay Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck above the training collar, and attach a 10-foot leash.
   NOTE: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points.

2. Visibly identify a designated area where you want your pet to sit by placing his bed or a large piece of cloth on the ground.

3. After identifying a place, put your pet in that area. Hold your leash in one hand and your smartphone in the other.

4. Staying within approximately 3 feet, walk around the perimeter of the designated area. Do not say anything to your pet.

5. If your pet tries to leave that area, press and hold the tone button for 1 to 2 seconds, immediately followed by continuously holding the vibration button while saying “Stay” and if necessary, use the leash to guide your pet onto the designated area.

6. Immediately release the vibration button as soon as your pet returns to the area, and praise him enthusiastically.

7. Once your pet has settled, release him and play calmly.

8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 several times.

9. If your pet stays reliably on receiving the spoken “Stay” command, then training is complete. Release your pet and praise him. If your dog doesn’t respond to vibration after repeated attempts, switch to static stimulation at your dog’s recognition level.

10. Put your pet on his designated area and walk around the perimeter as before.

11. Wait for your pet to try to leave that area. Using the recognition level for your pet, press and hold the static button while saying “Stay” and if necessary guide your pet back onto the designated area.

12. Immediately release the buttons as soon as your pet returns to the area, and praise him enthusiastically.

13. Once your pet has settled, release him and play calmly.

14. Repeat steps 10 to 13 several times.

15. If your pet stays reliably on receiving the spoken “Stay” command, he may now be ready to respond without stimulation. Take a play break and then go back and repeat from step 3 with tone only.

Eliminating Unwanted Behavior

Jumping Up
Jumping up on people is possibly the most common behavior owners would like to train their dogs to not do. However, it’s likely it’s also the behavior our dogs get the least consistent response to. If you decide to train your dog not to jump, you must inform any friends, family, and visitors beforehand not to pet and play with your dog if they jump up on them. Any inconsistency undermines your dog’s training and is unfair to your dog. If your dog is excited by a newcomer, redirect their behavior by asking them to sit and reward them for doing so.
Use the steps below if your dog is having difficulty sitting with this added distraction:

1. Choose your pet’s recognition level.
2. As soon as your pet lifts his paws off the ground to jump on you, simultaneously give the “Sit” command and press and hold the tone button for 1 to 2 seconds immediately followed by continuously holding the vibration button.
3. Release the vibration button immediately once your pet is sitting, and verbally praise him.
4. If your pet ignores the vibration, switch to static correction at your dog’s recognition level.
5. Practice this exercise in several different areas and use different people for distractions.

Digging
First, try to understand why your pet is digging. Many breeds, like terriers, were bred to flush out prey. Is your dog digging to find a cool spot to lie down? Is he bored? Before trying to correct your dog for digging make sure you’re providing:
• A cool, shaded area in which to lie down, and plenty of water.
• An alternate activity, such as a favorite toy.
• Plenty of play, exercise, and attention.
• A yard free from rodents or prey that he may be trying to flush out.

1. Choose an intensity level one step higher than your pet’s recognition level.
2. Place the training collar on your pet and wait at least 10 minutes before placing him in the yard. No other people or pets should be in the yard, as you do not want your pet to associate the stimulation with anything other than his digging. Your pet must be securely fenced in or contained during training.
3. From a window or area where your pet cannot see you, wait until your pet begins to dig.
4. When your pet digs, press the tone button for 2 seconds. Then continuously hold the vibration button until your dog stops digging.
5. If your pet ignores the stimulation, switch to static stimulation at his recognition level.
6. Continue to watch your pet, as he may choose another area to dig.
7. Do not allow your pet in the yard unsupervised until he has completely stopped digging.

Chasing
Chasing is an instinctive behavior stimulated by moving objects. Some dogs have a particularly strong desire to chase that can put them in harm’s way and leave you helpless. Never allow your dog off the leash or out of a contained area until he has learned The Recall Command, regardless of the distraction.
CAUTION 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, long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong enough to restrain your dog when he tries to chase.

1. If your dog has not learned The Recall Command, keep a leash on him so you can physically stop him before he reaches the object he is chasing.
2. Choose stimulation level 1 higher than your dog’s recognition level.
3. Set up a scenario where your dog is enticed to chase an object. Common items could be cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc. (do not use toys).
4. When the object passes in front of your dog, make sure to hold the leash with a firm grip. As soon as your dog begins to chase the object, press and hold the tone button for 1 second immediately followed by the static stimulation button until he stops..
5. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the button, walk backward, and give The Recall Command Praise your dog as he comes to you.
6. Repeat the process until your dog stops chasing the object.
   

Trash Raiding
The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food from your pet’s environment. You can use the SMART DOG Trainer to teach your pet to stay away from these items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time he approaches them.

1. Choose stimulation level 1 higher than your pet’s recognition level.
2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where he cannot see you.
3. While your pet’s mouth is touching the temptation, press and hold the tone button for 1 to 2 seconds immediately followed by the stimulation button. Immediately release the button when your pet leaves the temptation.
4. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the stimulation with his behavior, not you.
5. If your pet does not respond to the stimulation, increase the level by 1 and repeat the process.
6. Repeat this process in several different locations with different temptations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the static stimulation safe for my pet?

– While the stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your pet.

How old does a pet have to be before using the SMART DOG® Trainer?
