Important Safety Information
Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols Used in this Guide
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in harm to your pet.
• Do not short circuit, dispose of in fire, or expose to water. When batteries are stored or disposed, they must be
protected from shorting. Dispose of used batteries properly.
• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to aggressive behaviour. Aggressive
dogs can cause severe injury or death to their owners and others. If you are not sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
• Safety during on-lead training: it is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe during on-lead training. Your
dog should be on a strong lead, long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong enough to restrain your dog when he tries to chase.
• This pet training device is not a toy, keep away from children.
• Risk of skin damage: please read and follow the instructions in this guide. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar
worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible, reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this guide.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, do not put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet secure and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed. The PetSafe
®
SMART DOG™ Trainer must be used only with healthy dogs. We recommend that you take your dog to a veterinarian before using the product if he is not in good health. Only let responsible family members use the SMART DOG

How the System Works
The PetSafe® SMART DOG™ Trainer is the newest way to train your dog! The SMART DOG™ Trainer App turns your smartphone into a remote, eliminating the need for the handheld remote used with most trainers. Using Bluetooth your iPhone
®
or Android™ phone connects to the training collar and allows you to send a tone, vibration or static stimulation to your dog from up to 70 metres away. This waterproof training collar is rechargeable so there is no need for buying batteries. This training collar is the perfect match for pet parents who are in the process of training their dog and have a smartphone. The SMART DOG

Trainer can be used to reinforce desirable behaviours and stop unwanted behaviours such as jumping,
digging, etc.

Fit the Training Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your training collar is important for effective operation. The contact points must have direct contact with your dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.
To ensure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the training collar is turned off.
2. Start with your dog standing comfortably (A).
3. Place the training collar on your pet so that the
PetSafe collar is directly under your dog’s chin. Centre the contact points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (B). NOTE: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the
contact points to make sure that contact is consistent. We have also included longer contact points.
4. Check the tightness of the training collar by inserting
one finger between the end of a contact point and your dog’s neck (C). The fit should be snug but not constricting.
5. Allow your dog to wear the training collar for several
minutes, then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable with the training collar.
6. Trim the training collar as follows (D):
a. Mark the desired length of the training collar with a pen. Allow for growth if your pet is young or grows a thick winter coat. b. Remove the training collar from your pet and cut off the excess and seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame

Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. The training collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period. Leaving the training collar on too long could lead to skin irritation.
Charge the Training Collar
Excessive charging can shorten battery life. We do not recommend charging your training collar daily unless a low battery indication is shown.
1. Lift the rubber cover protecting the training collar charging jack and connect the charger (E).
2. Plug the charger into a standard electrical wall outlet. The red LED will appear.
3. Recharges take no more than 5 hours. Although your training collar should be partially charged
upon purchase, you will want to fully charge it before beginning training. The green LED is solid after charging is complete.
4. When the training collar is charged, replace the rubber cover.
To Turn the Training Collar On
1. Press and hold the on/off button (F) until you hear a low to high beep and the green LED appears,
and then release.
2. The green LED will flash once every 5 seconds. This indicates the training collar is on and ready to
receive a signal from your smartphone.
To Turn the Training Collar Off
1. Press and hold the on/off button until the training collar beeps high to low, and then release. The red
LED will be illuminated during the button press and will turn off when the training collar turns off.

Quick Tip: When you are not using the collar, you will want to turn it off. This will increase the battery life of your training collar.
