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:
Safety during on-leash training. lt 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.

Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. 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 re-position 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.
• 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.

How the System Works

The Remote Training Collar is easy to use with an advanced digital display that tells you exactly what level of stimulation you are using. The Remote Training Collar assists you in controlling your pet without a leash. At the push of a button, your Remote Transmitter sends a signal activating your dog’s Receiver Collar.

He receives a safe but annoying stimulation. He’ll quickly learn the association between his behavior and your correction in no time, you’ll have a better-behaved pet. The Remote Training Collar has proven safe, comfortable, and effective for both small and large dog breeds at least 6 months of age and over 8 lbs.

Using the Remote Trainer consistently and correctly, any basic obedience commands can be taught and will help to correct many misbehaviors that your pet exhibits.

Step 3: How to Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective training. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet’s skin on the underside of his neck. To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the Receiver Collar is turned off.
2. Have your pet standing comfortably (3A).
3. Place the Receiver Collar on your dog’s neck close to the ears. Center the Contact Points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin.

Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.

Step 4: How to Find the Best Vibration/Shock/
Warning Tone Level for Your Pet

The Remote Training Collar has 99 stimulation levels for Static Shock and 16 for Vibration. Always start at the lowest level and work your way up. This allows you to choose the Stimulation level that is best for your pet. Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the Stimulation Level that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level. A slight change in your pet’s behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar, or flicking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.

Follow the steps below to find your pet’s Recognition Level:

1. Starting at Level 1 on the Digital Display, press the Vibration/Shock Button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.
   Note: When the Vibration/Shock Button is held down for 10 consecutive seconds, the Transmitter will “time-out” , and you must release and press the button again before additional stimulation can be delivered.

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

3. 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.

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

5. If your pet continues to show no response at highest level, check the fit of the Receiver Collar. If your pet has long or thick hair, please use the the longer set of Contact Points in package. Then go back to #1 and repeat the process.
