Product Safety and Health Statement
Proper e-collar use
Dogtra e-collars are intended for the sole purpose of
behavior modication of dogs. They are NOT intended for
human use or use on other animals. Dogtra Company does
not assume any liability for the improper use of a Dogtra
e-collar.
Aggressive dogs
Dogtra highly recommends consulting a dog training
professional when using an e-collar to correct dogs that are
aggressive towards other dogs or people.
Interference with other electronic devices
Dogtra’s industry-leading technology ltering system
ensures minimal interference with other electronic devices
(garage door openers, mobile phones, etc.). Our digital
microprocessor oers thousands of unique codes to
eliminate frequency match-up with other Dogtra e-collars.
Dogtra recommends consulting your physician if you are
going to use the e-collar and you have any type of medical
devices.
Inadvertent activation
If the constant button is held down for 12 seconds or more,
the unit will automatically shut down. It reactivates when
the button is released and depressed again.
Duration your dog can wear the unit
Leaving the receiver/collar in the same location on the
dog’s neck 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 receiver/collar so that the contact
points are moved to a dierent location on the dog’s neck.
Make sure you check for skin irritation each time you use
the unit. If your dog exhibits signs of skin irritation, consult
with a veterinarian.
Reaction to the stimulation
Every dog has a dierent tolerance and reaction to the
stimulation. Please look at your dog’s reaction to nd just
the right level of stimulation. The stimulation level may
vary depending on the situation and distractions. Normally
a distracted dog (chasing another dog, squirrel, etc.) will
require a higher level of stimulation compared to when
there is no distraction.
Training Methods
E-collars can be used with many dierent methods. If you
have any concerns in the training methods provided by
Dogtra, consult with a dog training professional.
Proper Fit
A loose t can allow the receiver/collar to move around on
the dog’s neck. When this happens, the contact points may
rub the skin and cause irritation. If the unit is too loose, the
contact points will not make proper contact and your dog
will not receive consistent stimulation.
