USING YOUR TRAINING SYSTEM
Fitting your Receiver Collar
• Wash both your dog’s neck and the contact points on
the receiver collar.
• Place the activated receiver high on the underside of
your dog’s neck.
• Buckle the collar snugly on your dog, allowing
enough room so that you can
comfortably place one finger between the contact
points and your dog’s neck.
Attention: To ensure comfort, safety, and
effectiveness of product please ensure the following.
During the first 2 days of training, do not use the training device on your dog without
direct supervision.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure by being able to insert one finger between
the
metal probe and your dog’s skin.
• The dog’s neck must be carefully examined daily for any signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the collar for a few days.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• The dog’s neck area and the probes of the collar must be washed weekly with a wash
cloth and mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.
A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a de-vitalization of the skin due to
excessive and prolonged contact against the collar may occur if the steps above are not
followed.
READ THE PRODUCT’S INSTRUCTION MANUAL THOROUGHLY!
To train using tone:
• Press the tone button on the transmitter. This button can be used to “warn” your dog
instead of giving him a stimulation. The sound emitted by the receiver can be just as
effective as the stimulation on some dogs.
• To indicate that tone is being activated, the red LED light on the transmitter will
remain illuminated as long as the button is pressed. If the LED light begins flashing
every four seconds or does not illuminate, the transmitter battery should be replaced.
To train using stimulation:
Use this button when either training or deterring unwanted behavior when the tone
is not effective. Your dog responds to the transmitter’s stimulation through two contact
points on the waterproof receiver that touch the dog’s neck. Therefore, it is important
that the receiver is fitted properly onto your dog.
