WARNING
CAUTION
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions.
• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is
aggressive, or if your dog is prone to aggressive behaviour. 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 a certified trainer.
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit of the
collar is important. A collar worn for too long, or made too tight on the pet's
neck may cause skin damage. This is called bed sores; it is also called
decubitus ulcers or pressure necrosis.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet's neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this
manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive
pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don't put pressure on the
electronic collar.
• Wash the dog's neck area and the 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.
For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please

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. 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 found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never
shave the dog's neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good
contact. A collar that is too tight will increase the risk of pressure necrosis
in the contact area.
