Important Safety Information
The FW651A dog training collar is designed to let dogs live safely, happily and get along with people more harmoniously.
WARNING Do not use with aggressive dogs
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
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.
CAUTION 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 reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
- Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
- 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.
- This product is not a toy, please keep away from children.
- This product is only for use with healthy dogs.

Find the Best Vibration Level for Your Pet
The unit comes with Up and Down buttons to control the Vibration Level, with
Level 1 being the lowest level and Level 8 being the highest. The level of
Vibration best suited for your dog depends on your dog’s temperament and
threshold for Vibration. Always start at the lowest level and work your way
up. The appropriate level can be found when the dog responds to the Vibration
with a mild reaction, such as a flick of the ear, a lick of the lips, a
tensing of the neck muscles etc. The Vibration Level may vary depending on the
training situation. When highly distracted, dogs will require a higher level
of Vibration.
