Use  as  little  stimulus  as  possible  and  only  to  reinforce  verbal  commands  when  necessary.   
Do not over correct your dog. 
 
Use verbal commands first and supplement with a corrective stimulus only as needed.    Be 
consistent with your verbal commands using the same words every time. 
 
Use the beeps as a warning by pushing the Beep button.    The dog will become conditioned 
to the beep preceding the corrective stimulus and will soon learn to recognise the beep as a 
warning along with your verbal command. 
 

This  system  is  not  appropriate  for  correcting  aggressive  behaviour.    Please  consult  a 
professional trainer for advice about that. 

 
Do not rely on this product solely  to train your dog.    If your dog  shows signs of growling, 
snarling, biting or aggression while using the collar, stop training immediately and contact a 
professional trainer. 
 
Although  most  dogs  respond  to  this  product,  some  will  not.    MGG  cannot  guarantee  the 
effectiveness of this or any other trainer on your dog. 
 
This product is not recommended for aggressive or elderly animals in poor health or animals 
otherwise unable to withstand the static stimulus. 
 

Caution:   

Any  collar  worn  for  extended  periods  can  cause  a  condition  similar  to  bedsores 

known as Pressure Necrosis.    To reduce the possibility you must do the following.    Never 
leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours per day.    Examine your dog’s neck daily 
for  any  signs  of  a  rash  or  a  sore.    Supervise  your  dog  during  the  first  2  days  of  training.   
Regularly  check  the  fit  of  the  collar  to  prevent  excessive  pressure.    You  should  be  able  to 
insert one finger between the collar strap and your dog’s skin. 
 

SAFETY: 
 

To maximise the effectiveness of the DTC 280 remote training system and the safety of your 
dog, please check the fit of the collar frequently and re-adjust the position of the electrodes 
on their neck if necessary, checking for signs of irritation or discomfort. 
 
If  signs  of  skin  irritation  are  noticed,  immediately  discontinue  use  and  apply  antibiotic 
ointment to help heal and sooth the area.    If the condition persists beyond 48 hours seek 
the advice of a veterinarian.    Such side effects are extremely rare and are generally caused 
by a more serious underlying condition. 
 
Wash the dog’s neck area and the correction poles as often as needed to keep the area and 
poles  clean.    Make  sure  the  straps  are  clean  for  best  performance.    The  straps  can  be 
removed for cleaning but must be replaced in the same position.
