Read the information in the Training section on page 13. Though your dog may show good initial response to the training, be sure to continue training for several weeks. The convenience that your new remote training system offers is well worth the time invested.

Put the collar around your dog’s neck and adjust to find the proper fit. Fasten the collar so the fit is snug, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between the strap and the dog’s neck. Fit is important because a loose collar may cause inconsistent performance.
