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

Risk of explosion. Do not short circuit, mix old and new batteries, 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
aggressive, or if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs
can cause severe injury and even death to their owner and others. If you are unsure whether
this product is appropriate for your dog, please consult your veterinarian or certified trainer.
Safety during on-leash training. It is vitally important that you and your
dog remain safe while learning during on-leash training. Your dog should be
on a strong leash, 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.
Do not expose the device to freezing temperatures -32°F or 0°C or to
conditions warmer than 113°F or 45°C. Do not leave the unit in direct
sunlight. Never leave the unit in a car where the device can heat up to high temperatures 113°F
or 45°C.
AEROSOLS:
:

The PetSafe® Remote Spray Trainer is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children. Use it
only for its pet training purpose.
Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual.
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 manual.
:
Never connect a lead to the electronic collar.
:
When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
:
Wash the dog’s neck area weekly with a damp cloth.
:
Examine the neck 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 safe and comfortable. 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 neck area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue
use until the skin has fully healed.
The PetSafe® Spray Commander™ must be used only on healthy dogs. We recommend that you
take your dog to a veterinarian before using the collar if he is not in good health.

How the System Works
The PetSafe® Spray Commander™ uses a remote transmitter and a spray collar to re-direct
the attention of the distracted or misbehaving dog, or one that has learned that obedience is
optional. It can be activated at a distance up to 250 feet. In addition to having two levels of
spray for training, the PetSafe® Spray Commander™ also incorporates tone for reinforcement.
You can use it to let your dog know when the behavior he is engaged in is acceptable. The tone
becomes a reward for your dog.
