Your R.A.P.T. Series
TM
collar is a very valuable tool
if used correctly. It is extremely important that you
completely understand all the functions of the collar
and how to properly train with it before placing it on
your dog.
•
Test your system before placing the collar unit on
your dog(s) to help prevent possible interruptions
and inconsistencies during training and field time.
•
Never leave your dog unattended with the unit
on. Since no electronic device is perfect, there is a
very slight possibility that your dog may receive an
unintentional electric stimulation.
•
To prevent neck irritations, the collar should
never be worn for more than 12 hours a day.
Changing the collar location on the dog’s neck daily
will also help prevent irritations. It is recommended
to reposition the collar every 1-2 hours of use.
•
It is important to keep the collar clean. Clean the
electrodes regularly with a mild anti-bacterial soap.
•
If an irritation is found, carefully wash the dog’s neck
with soap and water and then wipe the area with
Hydrogen peroxide. Dry thoroughly and apply an
antibiotic ointment. If condition persists beyond 48
hours, please consult a veterinarian.
