activate it. (If you shake the receiver, you’ll hear a rattling noise caused by the built-in
vibration sensor which indicates that it is in working status).
Step 5 Fit the collar-receiver
Important : The proper fit and placement of the collar-receiver is essential for effective
training. The metal contact probes must have direct contact with your dog’s skin as follows:
(1)
To fit the collar-receiver you will need to attach the collar-strap to the receiver box. (3A)
(2)
With your dog standing in front of you, place the collar-receiver around its neck so the
receiver box and probes are on the underside of your dog’s neck and making direct
contact with the skin. You may need to trim the fur to ensure good contact. (3B)
(3)
Fasten the collar-strap. The fit should be sung but not taut. You should be able to place
one finger beneath the collar-strap around your dog’s neck (3C)
(4)
Allow your dog to wear the collar-receiver for several minutes and then check the strap
again. As your dog becomes more familiar with the collar-receiver you should ensure the
fit is comfy.
CAUTION : RISK OF SKIN DAMAGE
.
For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this product please see to it that you check the fit
of your dog’s collar frequently. If any skin irritation is observed, discontinue the use of the
collar for a few days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
. Do not attach a leash to the collar, which can result in squeezing the metal probes too
tightly against your dog’s neck.
. The collar-receiver is not designed to be worn constantly. We recommend the collar not be
worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hours period.
. Most dogs feel uncomfortable when wearing the collar for the very first time. Don’t use
any functions before the dog has gotten accustomed to the collar.
. We suggest you give the dog VIBRATION before starting the STATIC SHOCK. After a time of
training your dog will learn that shock will come after vibration. In this way, the vibration
alone can effectively curb the misbehaviors of your dog. The STATIC SHOCK might be
unnecessary sometimes.
Step 6 Regular Maintenance
.
Check the metal probes for tightness on a weekly basis.
. Rinse the metal probes with alcohol on a weekly basis. ( NB: Please turn off the
collar-receiver before touching the metal probes. )
. Check your dog’s neck for irritation and wash it on a weekly basis.
