Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
CAUTION
To prevent irritation from the contact points, remove the collar
for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour period.
This device is not intended for human use. Do not attempt to
use on any person.
Do not spray the device or collar with harsh chemicals including
but not limited to flea or tick spray. Always ensure that any flea
or tick spray that is applied to the dog is completely dry before
placing the collar on the dog. Small amounts of harsh chemicals
can damage the plastic components and collar laminate.
In order to effectively train the dog, the collar and device must fit
the dog properly. If the collar is too loose or positioned
incorrectly, stimulation may be inconsistent. This can delay or
prevent successful training.
Position the device at the front of the dog's neck, with the
1
status LED facing toward the dog's chin and the contact
points against the throat.
Tighten the strap so that it is very snug around the dog's
2
neck, and fasten the buckle.
NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and should not be able to
rotate or slide on the dog's neck. The dog must be able to
swallow food and water normally. You should observe your
dog's behavior to verify that the collar is not too tight.

entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of 8
seconds. Your stimulations should typically be much shorter
than 8 seconds.
Tone: Activates an audible tone the entire time you press the
training key, for a maximum of 8 seconds. A tone can be
used as either a positive or negative training cue, depending
on your training program.
Vibration: Applies vibration instead of stimulation to the dog the
entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of 8
seconds. The effectiveness of vibration may vary based on
the dog's temperament and experience.

designated for high or low stimulations for different training
purposes. A low stimulation is perceived by the dog to be less
