PRODUCT SAFETY
Proper Use
Your Dogtra product should be used only to train and educate your dog.
Always supervise your dog when using your product. Only operate your
product when you and your dog are at a safe distance from the product. Never
operate your Dogtra product when you or your dog could be struck by balls
launched or dropped from the product.
Training Methods
Dogtra products may be used with a variety of training methods. However,
each dog may have a different reaction to training methods and to Dogtra
products. Closely observe your dog when determining the right training
method to use with your Dogtra product.
Ball Requirements
Use only Dogtra-authorized balls or balls with a similar texture and size
(diameter of 2.6 inches or 6.6 cm) with your Dogtra product. Do not use hard
balls, smaller balls, partially or fully deflated balls, balls with protrusions, holes
or straps, non-balls, or other objects as this may cause serious injury to you or
your dog.
Ball Installation
Take care when inserting or removing balls from your Dogtra product as your
fingers or hand may get caught. Do not insert or remove balls when your dog
is nearby as your dog may attempt to retrieve the ball at the same time and
injure you. Never operate your product when inserting or removing balls from
the launch or drop canisters as this may cause serious injury.
Choking Warning
Do not launch or drop balls from your Dogtra product directly into the mouth
of your dog as this may cause your dog to choke. Do not allow your dog to
chew on balls used with the product as this could also be a choking hazard.
Aggressive Dogs
Do not use Dogtra products with aggressive dogs as such dogs may react
adversely and cause injury to people or other dogs. Seek the assistance of a
dog-training specialist or veterinarian when dealing with aggressive dogs.
Children
Dogtra products are not toys. Adult supervision and close attention are
necessary when Dogtra products are used by or near children.
