CAUTION
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; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t 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 safe 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® Venture Series™ Remote Trainers 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.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.

How the System Works
Now you can experience the difference a Remote Trainer can make. Spend less time training and more
time enjoying your dog. The PetSafe® Venture Series™ Remote Trainers are comfortable for your pet and
easy to use with an advanced digital display that tells you exactly what level of stimulation you are using.
The Remote Trainer assists you in controlling your pet without a leash in a range of either 400 or 1000
yards. At the push of a button, your remote sends a signal activating your dog’s Receiver Collar. He
receives a safe but annoying stimulation. He’ll quickly learn the association between his behavior and
your correction; in no time, you’ll have a better-behaved pet. The PetSafe
Trainers have been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for both small and large dog breeds.
Important: The Venture Series™ Remote Trainers have a range of up to 400 or 1000 yards. Depending on
the way you hold the Remote Transmitter, the maximum range may vary. Terrain, weather, vegetation,
transmission from other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range.

Receiver Collar: Delivers stimulation or tone on a signal from the Remote Transmitter. It is
waterproof.
On/Off Button: Momentarily pressing and holding this button turns the Receiver Collar on and off.
Contact Points: The contacts through which the Receiver Collar delivers Stimulation.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates when the Receiver Collar has been turned on or off and also
serves as a low-battery indicator.
Charging Jacks: For connecting the charger. Although the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar
are waterproof without the charger covers, keep the covers in place when not charging to keep debris
out of the openings.
Continuous Stimulation: You control when and how long Stimulation is delivered to your dog
through the Receiver Collar’s Contact Points. When a Continuous Stimulation button is pressed for
8 seconds or more, the Remote Transmitter will “time-out.” The button will need to be released and
pressed again before additional Stimulation can be delivered.
Positive Tone: Use the Positive Tone as a marker to reinforce positive behavior. Again, timing is
critical. Praise or treat the dog immediately following the Positive Tone.
