PETSPY PREMIUM DOG TRAINING COLLAR
Dear Customer, thank you very much for choosing the PetSpy Brand! It’s our pleasure to serve you and your beloved dog. Our mission is to ensure your pet’s safety and hap­piness by providing you with the tools and techniques to successfully train your dog. If you have any questions, please contact PetSpy Customer Service at
we will be happy to assist you!
1. Antenna - transmits an electromagnetic signal to receiver collar. You can screw it o when needed.
2. Knob Switch - rotate the knob with your thumb to turn the remote on. It also allows you to quickly switch between dierent stimulation levels of Shock and Vibra­tion.
Outer numbers 0-8:
indicate the stimulation intensity.
Inner numbers 20-100:
show the percentage from the
maximum level of intensity.
3. Continuous Shock Button - press the button to deliver continuous Shock to the collar. It will keep shocking your pet while you holding the button. It will stop automatically aer 10 seconds to avoid injury.
4. Convulsive Shock Button - press the button to deli­ver a short impulse of Shock to the collar. Unlike the continuous shock, the convulsive shock is limited to 1 second even if you keep holding the button.
5. Vibration Button - press the button to deliver Vibra­tion stimulation to your pet. Similar to the continuous Shock, the vibration will stop automatically aer 10 seconds even if you keep holding the button.
6. Tone/Beep Button - press the button to send an audi­ble tone/beep to the receiver collar. When your dog is well trained, the tone button is all you need to eectively interact with dog.
7. Channel Switch - if you have 2 collars, slide the channel switch to choose between collar 1 and collar 2. Note that one collar can only work with one channel. Please refer to
Synchronizing Remote Transmitter with Receiver Collar
paragraph to learn how you
can reprogram the system.
8. LED indicator - It ashes green every 3-4 seconds when remote is turned on. A solid green light goes on when you press and hold any stimulation button. LED also serves as a battery charge indicator: the LED is red while remote is charging, it will turn green when battery is fully charged.

HOW DOES PETSPY DOG TRAINING SYSTEM WORK? PetSpy Dog Training System can assist you with controlling and training your dog
without a leash in the range up to 1100 yards. Using a Remote Transmitter you can send a signal to the collar in form of Shock, Vibration, or Tone. By using PetSpy Dog Train­ing System consistently, you can train your dog to eliminate any undesired behavior (jumping up, digging, chasing, etc.) and teach your dog understand many obedience commands (sit, come, stay, etc).
IMPORTANT NOTES
•e Remote System range goes up to 1100 yards. Hold the Transmitter horizontally and away from your body to achieve maximum range. Weather condition, terrain, vegetation, and interference from other electronic devices can aect the maximum communication distance of the system.
•ere are 8 levels of Shock and Vibration Simulation. If you use the strongest level there is a chance that it can penetrate dog’s fur up to 6mm thick. Do not shave your Dog’s neck to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
•For comfort, safety, and eectiveness of the system, please start training your pet with the lowest level of Shock. It’s ne to have a Vibration level on medium or high. Please check your dog’s neck aer each training session for skin irritation. If skin irritation de­velops, discontinue to use the collar for 48 hours. If condition persist beyond 48 hours, please consult your veterinarian.
•Do not attach a leash to the collar. Use a separate collar if there is a need for a leash.
•We suggest you to use the Vibration Stimulation rst before starting to use the Shock Stimulation. en slowly start with the lowest level of the Shock Stimulation. If you follow this training method, your dog will learn that the Shock Stimulation will come aer Vibration. Hence, the Vibration alone can eectively cure unwanted behavior of your dog without a need for the Shock.

PREPARING REMOTE TRANSMITTER FOR YOUR FIRST USE: Make sure that Remote Transmitter is charged before proceeding to the training:
1. e charging port is located on the rear side of remote. Carefully open the rubber cover and connect the charger.
2. Red LED light will indicate that remote is charging.
3. LED indicator will turn green when remote is fully charged. It takes about 2 hours to a full charge.
4. Put the rubber cover back over the charging port.
REMOTE TRANSMITTER OPERATION
1. Rotate the knob clockwise with your thumb to turn it on. e knob also allows you to quickly switch between dierent stimulation levels of Shock and Vibration.
2. If you have 2 collars, you can select which collar is being controlled (1 or 2) by sliding the Channel switch.
3. Press the Vibration Button to deliver Vibration Stimulation to your dog.
4. Press the Continuous/Convulsive Shock Button to deliver shock to your dog.
5. Press the Tone/Beep Button to deliver beeping tone to your dog.
6. e Remote Transmitter will enter a Standby Mode if not operated for 1 minute. Simply press any button to bring it back.
PREPARING RECEIVER COLLAR FOR YOUR FIRST USE: Make sure that Receiver Collar is charged before proceeding to the training:
1. Carefully open the rubber cover over the charging port and connect the charger.
2. Red LED light will indicate that receiver is charging. It takes about 3 hours to fully charge it. Make sure to unplug the collar aer 3 hours to avoid battery damage.
3. Put the rubber cover back over the charging port to ensure collar is fully waterproof.
4. Press the Power Button to turn it on. e red LED will start ashing every 4-5 sec­onds.
5. When Receiver is charged and turned on, it always stands in the Sleep/Standby Mode waiting for any command (e.g. Shock, Vibration or Beep) to activate it.
Page 6
SYNCHRONIZING REMOTE TRANSMITTER WITH RECEIVER COLLAR Sometimes the collar can loose connection with remote. e x is pretty quick and
simple. Follow these steps to re-synchronize the system:
1. Make sure that both the Transmitter and Receiver are fully charged and turned on.
2. Press and hold the Power button on the Receiver Collar for about 5 seconds to enter the Synchronization Mode - the receiver will beep and red LED will start ashing fast.
3. While red LED is ashing, send any correction command from remote. We recom­mend you to send a Vibration command by pressing and holding the Vibration button on remote until you feel that collar vibrating. If no command is sent, the ashing will stop aer 10 seconds.
4. e system is now resynchronized - try to send any command to test it. If you have 2 collars, repeat the above steps for both collars on channel 1 and channel 2.
TESTING PETSPY DOG TRAINING SYSTEM

FITTING THE COLLAR
To ensure eective training and dog’s safety, you must properly t the collar on your dog. e collar must t snugly to allow the “contact points” to have direct contact with the skin. Position the receiver unit high up on your dog’s neck just below ears.
You should be able to t two ngers between the collar strap and your dog’s skin. Too tight poses the risk of skin irritation and discomfort. Too loose and the contact points will not be able to administer the stimulation reliably and can cause skin irritation due to chang. Cover the contact points with conductive rubber caps to reduce the risk of skin irritation or injury.
CAUTION: E-collars are not designed to be worn constantly. We recommend using e-collars only under adult supervision and for no longer than 4 hours per day. NEVER attach a leash to an e-collar. Use a separate regular collar if there is a need for a leash.
FIND THE BEST STIMULATION LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG
CAUTION: Start with Vibration mode rst and use Shock mode as a last resort. PetSpy e-collar can be a powerful tool for encouraging desired behavior. But rst, you must identify the stimulation intensity level for your dog - it has to be high enough to be noticed, but not so high as to be disruptive. Your dog must learn to act in response to the e-collar stimulation and understand that he can control it by his actions.
is method of e-collar training is even gentler than many traditional leash-training methods. Additionally, the e-collar improves communication by providing instant feedback to your dog during training. is reduces confusion, fosters a positive training attitude, and accelerates learning, rapidly producing o-leash reliability.
Even if your dog already knows the basic obedience commands, follow the procedures given. Your dog must learn how to respond to the e-collar for each command before you can use your PetSpy collar for training at a distance.
Page 8
PetSpy Premium Dog Training Collar has 8 dierent stimulation levels. is allows you to choose the level that is best for your pet. Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to nd the Stimulation Level that is best for him. is is called the
Recognition Level
. A slight change in your pet’s behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar, or icking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.
Follow the steps below to nd your pet’s Recognition Level:
1. Starting at the Lowest Level of stimulation on the Remote, press the Vibration or Shock Stimulation Button continuously.
2. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the Stimulation Level several times before mov­ing up to the next level.
CAUTION: YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT BARK OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
3. Move up through the Stimulation Levels until your dog reliably responds to the stimulation.
4. If your dog continues to show no response at the Highest Level, check the t of the Receiver Collar. If your dog has long or thick fur, use the longer set of Contact Points. en go back to step 1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any results, your pet’s hair will need to be trimmed around the Contact Points.

GENERAL TIPS
• PetSpy Dog Training Collar is not design to be worn constantly. We recommend you to limit collar usage just for active training sessions. Always take o the collar when you leave your dog unattended.
• Most dogs will feel uncomfortable wearing the collar for the rst time. Don’t use any commands until your dog has gotten used to the collar which will normally take several days.
• Eliminate one unwanted action or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move to quickly with training, your dog may become confused.
Page 9
• Be consistent in your training. Give your dog the same stimulation for each unwanted action. We suggest you to use Vibration Stimulation before the Shock Stimulation. If you follow this training method, your dog will learn that Shock Stimulation might come aer Vibration. Hence, the Vibration Stimulation alone can eectively cure unwanted
behavior of your dog.
• Do not over-correct. Use as few stimulation as possible to train your dog.
• Following a predened scenario in all Training Sessions can dramatically improve your chances of success.
• Should your dog react to the training by hiding or reacting fearfully, redirect his atten­tion to a simple command such as “Speak” or “Sit” to calm him down. Use treats to help your dog understand which commands have been done correctly.
TROUBLESHOOTING
My e-collar does not respond to any command, what should i do?
•Make sure that both the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar are fully charged and turned on. e red LED on the receiver should be ashing every 4-5 seconds.
•Follow the steps from “
Synchronizing Remote Transmitter with Receiver Collar”
para-
graph to pair remote transmitter with the collar.
•Watch our video guides for more information at
