PRODUCT SAFETY AND HEALTH
STATEMENT
Proper e-collar use
Dogtra e-collars are intended for the sole purpose of behavior
modification of dogs. They are NOT intended for human use
or use on other animals. Dogtra Company does not assume any
liability for the improper use of a Dogtra e-collar.
Aggressive dogs
Dogtra highly recommends consulting a dog training
professional when using an e-collar to correct dogs that are
aggressive towards other dogs or people.
Interference with other electronic devices
Dogtra's industry-leading technology filtering system ensures
minimal interference with other electronic devices (garage
door openers, mobile phones, etc.). Our digital microprocessor
offers thousands of unique codes to eliminate frequency match-
up with other Dogtra e-collars. Dogtra recommends consulting
your physician if you are going to use the e-collar and you have
any type of medical devices.
Inadvertent activation
If the constant button is held down for 12 seconds or more,
the unit will automatically shut down. It reactivates when the
button is released and depressed again.
Proper Fit
A loose fit can allow the receiver/collar to move around on the
dog's neck. When this happens, the contact points may rub the
skin and cause irritation. If the unit is too loose, the contact
32
points will not make proper contact and your dog will not
receive consistent stimulation.
Duration your dog can wear the unit
Leaving the receiver/collar in the same location on the dog's
neck for an extended period of time can cause skin irritation.
If the dog is to wear the e-collar for long periods, occasionally
reposition the receiver/collar so that the contact points are
moved to a different location on the dog's neck. Make sure you
check for skin irritation each time you use the unit. If your dog
exhibits signs of skin irritation, consult with a veterinarian.
Reaction to the stimulation
Every dog has a different tolerance and reaction to the
stimulation. Please look at your dog's reaction to find just
the right level of stimulation. The stimulation level may
vary depending on the situation and distractions. Normally a
distracted dog (chasing another dog, squirrel, etc.) will require
a higher level of stimulation compared to when there is no
distraction.
Training Methods
E-collars can be used with many different methods. If you
have any concerns in the training methods provided by Dogtra,
consult with a dog training professional.
