Proper fit of the collar under the dog’s neck is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on your dog’s neck may cause skin damage or irritation. This can range from redness to pressure ulcers; commonly known as bed sores. Training collars can cause pressure necrosis if used incorrectly and is often misidentified as burns. 1. Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 8 hours out of every 24 hours and try to reposition the collar on your dog’s neck every 1 to 2 hours if possible. 2.
7. If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed. 8. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian. 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 and 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.

General Training Tips 1. Make training sessions short and positive (between 10-15 minutes long for each session.) 2. Train one dog at a time. 3. During the first initial training sessions, keep the dog in a familiar outdoor environment. 4. Use a long leash fastened to a non-metallic collar to help the dog's learning. 5. Be consistent. Give your dog a tone and/or stimulation with each misbehaviour. 6. Teach the dog a command first before reinforcing the command with the remote transmitter. 7.
repeatedly, set up this situation as a training session. This will dramatically increase your chances of success. 11. If your dog has a timid reaction to the tone or stimulation (especially the first couple of times), do not be alarmed. Redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behaviour (i.e. a known command such as “sit”). 12. Please keep in mind, that you should keep training sessions short and end every session on a high note.
have individual sensitivity levels. Also, different types of training call for different levels of intensity. So it’s wise to test your dog to find the correct intensity level before you start training. IMPORTANT: For best results when finding your dog’s sensitivity, use continuous stimulation. If your transmitter has more than one button for continuous stimulation, use the button for the lowest level when finding your dog’s sensitivity.

HOW DOGS LEARN Here are some basic guidelines that cover all your remote trainer work on obedience commands. Follow a step-by-step introduction process on each command. Don’t assume that your dog will understand a remote trainer correction in connection with a command.
Keep things simple for your dog in their first sessions. They can’t learn well when there’s too much going on. Learning to Train Every animal on the planet has an alpha or beta relationship with every other animal. We usually think of “beta” as submissive and beaten down, but in wild packs or herds, that is not the case. The beta dog in a pack of wild dogs is still quite happy and lives a good life. So your dog should live the comfortable life – while remaining in the beta position.
attention to while training. If you win the small battles, the big fights will be much easier to handle. Dogs see the world in black and white. To your dog, either you are in control or it is. There is no middle ground. There are two most important points, conditioned responses and substitution, will be the cornerstones of your training program. Conditioned responses to commands are mandatory for a properly trained dog.
like an undoable task but if you will train consistently, it will take only a short time. Substitution: This is where we use a stimulus to cause a response and then add another stimulus simultaneously until the second stimulus evokes the same response as the first. You might remember Dr. Pavlov’s work with ringing the dinner bell as he was feeding his dog. It did not take long before simply ringing the dinner bell caused the dog to salivate.
Is the collar waterproof? Yes, they are designed to be completely waterproof. Any problems please email us for a faster or similar response time. If the rubber stopper comes away from the charging port, is the collar and remote still waterproof? Yes, this makes no difference to the waterproof status of the device, though keep in place if possible to keep debris out and for peace of mind.
Yes Once my dog is trained, do I still need to use the collar? This is up to you, you can keep the collar on for insurance, or only wear it in high risk environments. If you dog is completely trustworthy now you can choose eitherway. You may also just use it from time to time as a reinforcement or as a refresher for certain behaviors. Can I use this on my aggressive dog? We do not recommend any of our products to be used on aggressive dogs.
How long can I give continuous stimulation to my dog?You can hold down the vibration or shock button for up to 8 seconds before the safety feature kicks in and it stops. You then need to press the button again if you want to shock for up to 8 seconds again. What do I do if on the off chance my dogs neck becomes red and irritated?This is due to the contact points irritating the skin. Discontinue use for a few days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
prongs to the metal strip on the test light. You then press the shock to see if the button lights up. If they do then the collar is ready to go. Can I test the collar on the back of my hand or arm?
