Important Safety Information

WARNING: NOT FOR 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.

CAUTION
Risk of skin damage: Please read and follow the instructions carefully in this guide, Proper fit of the collars is important because a loose collar may cause inconsistent performance. 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 (commonly known as bedsores). These collars can cause pressure necrosis if used incorrectly and is often misidentified as burns.

• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure, and it is okay to trim any excess strap length. Never connect a lead to the electronic collar because it may cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and 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.

These steps will help your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while wearing 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 detected, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.

Test the Training System Functions

The testing methods will help determine whether the training system is functioning as intended and will also teach you how to operate the system. Please ensure that the pairing process is complete before attempting to test the functionality.

Testing the Electronic Pulse Stimulation  Electronic Pulse Stimulation Tester
In your package that you received, you will find a clear almost translucent plastic piece that has a light bulb/fuse in the middle of it. This is your Electronic Pulse Stimulation tester. This component DOES NOT attach to the Collar Receiver by any means and is only for testing the static shock mode. To test the Electronic Pulse Stimulation, follow these steps:

1. Put the test light over the Electrodes of the Collar Receiver you wish to test.
2. Ensure the Toggle Switch is in the correct position for the Collar Receiver testing.
3. Adjust the Intensity Dial off of 100.
4. Press the Static Shock Button on your Remote Transmitter.
5. If done correctly, the test bulb should flash orange indicating the electronic pulse stimulation is operating correctly.

Note
If wanting to test the shock function on yourself, please ensure your or hand is across both contact points to ensure the connection is complete. Otherwise, user will feel no stimulation.

Testing the Vibration Functions

1. Ensure the Toggle Switch is in the correct position for the Collar Receiver testing.
2. Adjust the Intensity Dial off of 100.
3. Press the Vibration Button on your Remote Transmitter.
4. If done correctly, the Collar Receiver will vibrate.

Testing the Sound Functions

1. Ensure the Toggle Switch is in the correction for the Collar Receiver you’re testing. Press the Sound Button on your Remote Transmitter.
2. If done correctly, the Collar Receiver will emit sound.

Assemble and Fit the Collar Receiver Attaching the Contact Points

In your package that you received, you will find 1 set of contact points. These contact points are screwed onto the receiver so that the points can effectively contact the dogs skin without hair/fur interfering with the connection.

Attaching the Collar Strap to the Collar Receiver

The Collar Receiver attaches to the Collar Strap by sliding through the tabs on each side and going wrapping around the back of the Collar Receiver. To accomplish this correctly, please view the diagram below:

Fitting the Collar Receiver

Important
The proper fit and placement of the Collar Receiver is essential effective training. The electrodes must have direct contact with the dog’s skin.

1. To fit the Collar Receiver, attach the Collar Strap to the Receiver.
2. With the dog standing in front of you, place the Collar Receiver around the dog’s neck, so the receiver box and Contact Points are on the underside of your dog’s neck, making direct contact with the dog’s skin. If direct contact is not possible, shaving some fur away, to ensure good contact is recommended.
3. Fasten the collar strap. The fit should be snug, but not taut. A finger should be able to be placed beneath the collar strap when around the dog’s neck.
4. Allow the dog to wear the Collar Receiver for several minutes and check the strap again. The dog will soon become more familiar with the Collar Receiver, so it is crucial to ensure the fit comfortable and flattering.

CAUTION: RISK OF SKIN DAMAGE

• For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this product please check the dog’s collar frequently. If observing any skin irritation, immediately discontinue use of the collar for a few days. If the skin condition persists beyond 48 hours, consult a veterinarian. These collars can cause pressure necrosis, commonly known as bed sores, if used incorrectly and is often misidentified as burns.
• Do not attach a leash to the collar, which can result in squeezing the Contact Points too tightly against your dog’s neck.
• The design of the Collar Receiver discourages constantly wearing the device. Petrainer recommends the collar not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period.
• Most dogs feel uncomfortable when wearing the collar for the very first time. Do not use any functions until the dog is accustomed to the collar.
• Petrainer suggests giving the dog, the vibration stimulation before following it with a static shock. After training for a while using this method, the dog will be aware that after vibration comes a static shock. Vibration will act as a warning, and static shock only acts as a menace that might be necessary sometimes.

Re-thread the collar Regular Maintenance

• Ensure Contact Points are not too tight on a weekly basis.
• Rinse the Contact Points with alcohol on a weekly basis.
• Check the dog’s neck for irritation and wash the dog’s neck on a weekly basis. Feel free to cut any additional Collar Strap material if it’s too long for your dog.

Troubleshooting

My dog is not responding after successfully setting up the training system.

• Charge the Remote Transmitter and Collar Receiver for 6 hours, separately before first use.
• Ensure the Remote Transmitter and Collar Receiver are powered on.
• Check the intensity levels of vibration and static shock, making sure it is not set to 0. Ensure the Collar Receiver has sufficient power to operate.
• Check the collar to ensure it fits snugly against your dog’s neck.
• If tested for all of the above and the dog is still not responding, please try re-pairing the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar.

The Remote Transmitter does not work.

• Check the battery status of the Remote Transmitter.
• If the battery is low, please recharge the Remote Transmitter.

My collar-receiver works great for some time, yet it does not work after charging.

• First, check if the receiver has been charged correctly. Check the “prepare the collar receiver” part of the guide for the correct charging method.
• Power on the receiver again after charging.

I want to test the Collar Receiver on myself, but it does not work.

• When testing the Collar Receiver with your hands, please touch the two electrodes simultaneously, as touching one electrode will not work.
