The strap must be adjusted so that the contact points are in contact with the skin of the dog.
▪
If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the skin of your dog. Furthermore, it will not
function correctly.
▪
If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
The strap is properly adjusted when you can insert two fingers between the strap and your dog's neck.
Do not leave the collar positioned at the same place for long periods (i.e. over 3 hours) because this can cause irritations. If your dog must carry
the collar for long periods, change regularly the position around the neck of your dog.
● Starting out with the training collar
▪
You can start using the collar with 6-month-old puppies that have already received some basic training: "stay", "sit" or at least "no".
▪
Do not use the collar with dogs that are not in good physical shape (i.e. cardiac problems, epilepsy) or have behavioral problems.
▪
Your dog will need to get used to the collar, for a few days let the dog wear the collar but do not use it.
▪
Positive and effective training takes time. Do not rush:
Choose a familiar area, a place your dog is used to.
Define the level of static correction from which your dog reacts by starting with the level of the lowest intensity and
increasing gradually.
Choose the right moment to press the button: at the exact time your dog does something wrong.
Give your dog plenty of encouragement: he will learn faster and his desire to respond will only increase.
● Cautions for use

Troubleshooting
Should your product stop working or develop a fault, first read this guide over, then check the batteries and replace them if necessary and retry.

If you encounter any problem, re-code the receiver collar with the remote control (ref. Coding procedure).
Re-initialize the system as follows:
Remove the collar battery from its housing
With a metallic tool (e.g. screwdriver, scissors) touch each of the 2 battery
contacts for 2 seconds approximately (ref. Diagram 6)
