CAUTION: RISK OF SKIN DAMAGE
For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this product please check t he fit of the dog's collar frequently. If observing any skin irritation, immediately discontinue use of the collar for a few days. If the skin c ondition persists beyond 48 hours, consult a veterinarian. These collars can cause pressure necrosis, commonly known as bed sores, if used incorrectly and is often misidentified as burns.
Do not attach a leash to the collar, which can result in squeezing the Contact Points too tightly against your dog's neck.
The design of the Collar Receiver discourages constantly wearing the device. Petrainer recommends the collar not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period.
Most dogs feel uncomfortable when wearing the collar for the very first time. Do not use any functions until the dog is accustomed to the collar.
Petrainer suggests giving the dog, the vibration stimulation before following it with a static shock. After training for a while using this method, the dog will be aware that after vibration comes a static shock. Vibration will act as a warning, and static shock only acts as a menace that might be necessary sometimes.
