• The PetSafe ® ST-100 Remote Trainer is not a
toy. Keep away from the reach of children. Use
it only for its training purpose.
• Safety during on-lead training. It is vitally
important that you and your dog remain safe
while learning during on-lead training. Your dog
should wear a flat collar or a harness attached
to a strong lead, 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 fi t 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 fi t to prevent excessive pressure; follow
the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it
will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, 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.
