How the PBT-I00 works
The Training System comes with a Remote Trainer that is paired with the
Pet Collar Unit. There are two modes for PBT-100, named remote training mode and bark
control mode.
In remote training mode, when push the STATIC CORRECTION KEY on the Remote Control
Unit, a signal is sent to the Pet Collar Unit, which delivers static correction to your dog to
assist you with shaping and modifying its behavior. When push the
TONE KEY, a tone is
sent to the Pet Collar Unit. The tone function is good for giving your dog an opportunity to
respond to your commands prior to pressing STATIC CORRECTION KEY.
The bark control mode, is specially designed as an easy and fair way to reduce excessive
barking behavior of your dog. It uses two sensor to detect both bark sounds and vibration
from the vocal cord of dog, which provides a high reliability on bark detection. At the
beginning of training routine, your dog is allowed to have about five seconds of free barking
time, during which only warning beep will trigger. Should your dog continue to bark, the Pet
Collar Unit will administer a brief level of static correction that you have selected, ranging in
nine levels, from very gentle to firm to match your dog's personality. If your dog is quiet for
two minutes, current training routine completes. The next time your dog barks, it start
another training routine, once again, your dog is offered the same “free” barking time at the
beginning of training. Our goal is to limit excessive barking, not to attempt to eliminate or
suppress all barking.
Important guidelines when using the PBT-100
• Included in your PBTI00 are Metal Contacts in three different lengths (short, medium
and long) that deliver static correction to your dog. Choose the appropriate length for
your dog's hair coat. The PBT-100 is shipped with medium Metal Contacts that are
suitable for dogs with medium hair coats. If your dog has dense coat or undercoat,
use one of the longer Metal Contacts included with the product.
• Proper fit is critical to the performance and effectiveness of the PBT-100. If the fit is too
loose, the Pet Collar Unit will not be able to get sufficient contact with the skin to detect
barking and deliver static correction. If the fit is too tight, it will irritate your dog's skin.
• Tighten the Pet Collar Unit high on your dog's neck, tight enough that you
can get two fingers between the collar strap and your dog. It should not be
able to rotate around the neck.
• Do not make your dog wear the Pet Collar Unit for more than 12 hours continuously to
avoid skin irritation.
• Do not connect a leash to the Pet Collar Unit as this might pull the Metal Contacts too
6
tight against your dog's neck.
• When connecting a separate collar for the leash, make sure that it does not add
pressure on the Pet Collar Unit.
• Check the contact area on your dog's neck for signs of irritation. If there is a rash or sore,
discontinue use until the skin is completely healed. See a veterinarian if the condition
persists.
