PRODUCT SAFETY

Training Methods

Aggressive Dogs

Do not use Dogtra products with aggressive dogs as such dogs may react adversely and cause injury to people or other dogs. Seek the assistance of a dog-training specialist or veterinarian when dealing with aggressive dogs.

Medical Device Interference

Dogtra products contain electrical and magnetic components that emit low level electromagnetic waves and radio frequencies. These electromagnetic waves or radio frequencies may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. Consult your physician or medical device maker before using your medical device with a Dogtra product. If you think that your Dogtra product is interfering with your pacemaker, defibrillator, or other medical device, stop using the Dogtra product.

HOW TO USE THE ON/OFF & INTENSITY DIAL

The On/Off & Intensity Dial is used to turn the YS200 on and off, and to select the intensity level. Set the dial to OFF to turn off the YS200. Set the no bark collar to (1) for the lowest stimulation setting and (6) for the highest stimulation setting.

HOW TO USE

NOTE:
Start with the lowest level of stimulation and work your way up. An appropriate level is when your dog responds to the stimulation with a mild reaction, such as a jerking or tensing of the neck muscles.

TESTING THE YS200

Turn the intensity dial to level 2 or 3.
Use the cap end of a ballpoint pen and repeatedly tap between the contact points.
The unit is working once the LED indicator blinks. Wait 2 seconds and tap again.
The unit is in normal working condition when the LED indicator blinks again. The LED indicator will only blink when the unit is activated.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

*Turn the unit off before attempting to replace the batteries.

Use a coin to unscrew the battery cover counterclockwise.
Insert two batteries with the plus sides facing out (both batteries must be facing the same direction).
Replace the battery cover by screwing it in clockwise. Be sure to place the batteries with the ‘+’ sides facing up and out. To remove the batteries, remove the battery cover and tap the batteries on the palm of your hand.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

EXTENDED CONTACT POINTS

Extended contact points are available for purchase for dogs with long and/or thick coats. Both contact points must touch your dog’s skin and may require longer contact points if your dog has a long and/or thick coat.

FITTING THE YS200

It is important to have a proper fit for safe and consistent results.

Place the YS200 to the left or right of your dog’s vocal cords.
Both contact points must touch your dog’s skin to properly operate.
When properly fitted, you should be able to fit two fingers underneath the collar strap.

FITTING THE YS200

* Caution: Remove all other collars when using the YS200. Other collars or buckles may cause the YS200 to inadvertently activate.

Proper Fit

The receiver should be fitted so that the medical grade stainless steel contact points press firmly against the dog’s skin. You should be able to fit two fingers underneath the collar strap. The best location is on either side of the dog’s windpipe.

Improper Fit

A loose fit can allow the receiver to move around on the dog’s neck. When this happens, the contact points may rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the receiver is too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause the corrections to be inconsistent. Dogtra uses medical grade stainless steel contact points and anti-microbial plastic to protect the dog’s skin.

Attention!
Leaving the receiver in the same location on the dog’s neck for an extended period of time can cause skin irritation due to the sensitivity from the contact points. If the dog is to wear the receiver for long periods, occasionally reposition the receiver every few hours so that the contact points are moved to a different location on the dog’s neck and remove the receiver after 8 hours of usage. Make sure you check for skin irritation each time you use the unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

My dog has skin irritation.
⇒ This may be due to an improper fit or leaving the receiver in the same location for an extended period of time. If your dog exhibits signs of skin irritation, consult with a veterinarian.
My dog is not reacting to the YS200.
⇒ Check the LED indicator while testing the unit. If the LED indicator does not come on, the batteries may need to be replaced.
⇒ Tighten the collar strap around your dog’s neck if it is too loose and make sure the contact points are held firmly against the dog’s skin.
⇒ If your dog has a thick or long coat and you already have the extended contact points, you may need to trim the hair on your dog’s neck so that both contact points are touching your dog’s skin.
I need to clean the YS200.
⇒ To clean the YS200, make sure the battery cover is closed and fully sealed, and wipe down the unit with a damp cloth. Make sure the unit is completely dry before use.

For such repaired or replaced products, the remaining portion of the original warranty period, or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer, shall apply. Dogtra, at its sole discretion, shall determine whether to repair or replace a product covered by the Warranty.

Warranty Conditions

The Warranty is not transferrable and applies to your Dogtra product only if:

You are the original retail purchaser of the product,
You bought the product from a Dogtra authorized dealer, and
You present a receipt or other proof of purchase showing a valid purchase date, the name and address of the authorized dealer, and the purchased product identified by model and/or serial number.

Warranty Exclusions

The Warranty does not cover damage, loss, or deterioration to your Dogtra product caused: by misuse, neglect, abuse, or other improper handling of the product; by failure to follow use or care instructions; by use of the product for other than its intended purpose; by accident or natural forces such as fire or flooding; or by normal wear and tear such as scratches to the product surface.

The Warranty also does not cover Dogtra products that: are purchased from non- authorized dealers; are purchased outside of the United States or Canada; have been damaged during
shipment (even if Dogtra paid or arranged for shipping); have been modified or tampered with in any manner; are opened or repaired by anyone other than Dogtra; or have serial numbers that have been altered or defaced.

Sole Warranty

This Warranty is the only warranty offered by Dogtra for its Dogtra products. Other than said Warranty, Dogtra makes no other representations or warranties whatsoever regarding its products, whether oral or in any product manual, on any packaging, on any website, or in any other written material. No dealer of Dogtra products, nor any employee or agent of Dogtra, is authorized to make any additions, changes, or extensions to the Warranty. Dogtra, at its sole discretion and at any time, reserves the right to modify the Warranty.

DISCLAIMER OF OTHER WARRANTIES

THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS PROVIDED IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

DOGTRA DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Limitation of Remedies

Dogtra’s liability is limited to the cost of repair or replacement of the Dogtra product under Warranty. Any claim or action to enforce the Warranty must be commenced within thirty (30) days of the Warranty’s expiration for your product.

Legal Rights May Vary By State or Jurisdiction

The Warranty gives You specific legal rights, and You may also have other rights which vary by state or jurisdiction. Some states or jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of implied warranties or of incidental or consequential damages or other remedies, so certain of the foregoing limitations may not apply to You.

If any portion of the Warranty is held by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of the Warranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected or invalidated, and the invalid or unenforceable portion shall be modified so as to most nearly achieve the intent of the Warranty.
