PRODUCT SAFETY AND HEALTH STATEMENTS
Safety for your dog
Studies conducted by animal health professionals at
Dogtra Company’s training facilities showed no
adverse effects to the cardiovascular or nervous system
of dogs from e-collar stimulation. These studies
involved healthy dogs in a controlled environment.
Dogs should be in good health during any e-collar
training. Dogtra e-collars are not intended for use on
dogs weighing less than 12 pounds or under 6 months
of age.
Skin irritation can occur from prolonged wearing of
the stainless steel contact points on the training collar.
Most dogs will exhibit some type of irritation (pressure
necrosis) from prolonged contact of stainless steel
contact points. This is why it states in your owner’s
manual:
Attention:
Avoid having the dog wear the collar with the
contact points in the same place for more than two hours
at a time. Leaving the contact points on the same spot for
an extended period of time can cause skin irritation.
If the dog is to wear the e-collar for long periods,
occasionally reposition the collar so that the contact
points are moved to a different spot on the dog’s neck.

PRODUCT SAFETY AND HEALTH STATEMENTS
Proper e-collar use
e-collars are intended for the sole
purpose of behavior modification of dogs. They are
not intended for human use or use on other animals.
Dogtra Company does not assume any liability for
improper use of the Dogtra e-collar.
Aggressive dogs
does not recommend using the e-collar to
correct dogs that are aggressive towards other dogs
or people. In many such cases the dog will associate
the stimulation with the other dog or individual and
become even more aggressive. Dog aggression is
best treated by a dog training specialist.
Interference with other electronic devices
Dogtra’s industry-leading technology filtering
system ensures minimal interference with other
electronic devices (cellular phones, security systems,
etc.). Our digital microprocessor offers thousands of
unique codes to eliminate frequency match-up with
other Dogtra e-collars.
Inadvertent activation
If the constant button is held down for 12
seconds or more the unit will automatically shut
down. It will reactivate when the button is released.
