Fit the Collar

Important: The proper fit and placement of your Training Collar collar is important for
eective operation.

1. Start with the collar turned o and your dog standing

comfortably, not sitting.

2. Place the collar on your pet so that the Premier Pet

side up and the collar is directly under your dog’s chin. Center
the contac t point s underneath your dog’s neck, touching the
skin. NOTE: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the

contact points to make sure that contact is consistent.

3. Check the tightness of the collar by inserting one finger between

the end of a contact point and your dog’s neck. The fit should be
snug but not constricting.

4. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, then

recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more
comfortable with the collar.

Do not shav e the pet’s neck as t his may increa se the risk of sk in irritation . The collar shou ld not be worn for m ore
than 12 hour s out of ever y 24-hou r period. Leav ing the collar on to o long could lead to sk in irritation .

Charge the Collar and Remote

Excessive charging can shorten battery life. Only charge your remote or collar when the batteries are low.

1. Lift the cover protecting the charging port and connect the charger to the collar and /or remote.

2. Plug the opposite end of the charger into a compatible charging port.

3. Fully charge the training collar and the remote. The indicator light on the remote and the training

collar will turn solid green af ter 12 hours of charging. For the first charge, continue to charge them for
an additional 12 hours.

4. When the training collar and remote are charged, replace their rubber covers.

Turn the Collar On/O

To Turn the Collar On

1. Press and hold the On/O but ton until the collar LED is solid green and beeps low to high.

2. Release the On/O Button. The collar LED will flash green once ever y 5 seconds. The flashing light

indicates the training collar is on and ready to signal from the remote.

To Turn the Collar O

1. Press and hold the On/O Button until the LED light is solid red and the collar beeps high to low.

2. Release the On/O Button.

Quick Tip: When you are not using the collar, you will want to turn it o. This will increase the battery life.

NOTE: The remote is always on and will communicate when any button is pressed.

Test the Collar

To test the collar, ensure that the remote is paired with the training
collar. Press the test light tool against the contact points on the collar.
Push the stimulation button on the remote. The test light will flash.

Pair the Collar

To reset the training collar or to add a new training collar:

1. With the training collar turned o, press and hold the on/o button. The green indicator light will turn

on, and the collar will beep low to high.

2. Continue to hold the on/o button until the indicator light has turned o.

3. Press and hold the upper button on the remote until the indicator light flashes 5 times and beeps 5

times. You may need to hold both units 3 feet from each other before this occurs. Once the indicator
light has flashed 5 times, the collar has been reset. If the indicator light does not flash 5 times, star t
again and repeat the process.

Find the Best Stimulation Level

Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.

The remote trainer has 8 dierent stimulation levels. This allows you to choose the static stimulation that
is best for your pet.

Once you have placed the training collar on your pet, it is time to find the “recognition level”. The
“recognition level” is the stimulation level that your dog begins to notice. It should not make your pet
uncomfortable. Your pet should NOT vocalize or panic when receiving stimulation. If this happens, the
stimulation is too high and you need to go back to the previous level.

Follow the steps below to find your pet’s recognition level:

• Starting at level 1 on the intensity dial, press the stimulation button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.

• If your pet shows no reaction, repeat this several times before moving up to the next level.

• Move up through the stimulation levels until your pet reliably responds to the stimulation.

• If your pet continues to show no response at level 8, check the fit of the training collar. If your pet

has long or thick hair, contact Customer Care for a longer set of contact points. Then go back to #1
and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any results, your pet’s hair may need to be trimmed
around the contact points.

• If all of these steps have been done and your pet continues to show no reaction to the stimulation,
please contact our Customer Care Center.
