Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Stimulation safe
for my pet? While the Stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your
pet. Electronic training devices require interaction and
training from the owner to achieve the desired results.
How old does a pet have to
be before using the Remote
Training Collar? Your pet should be at least 6 months old.
Once my pet is trained and has
been obeying my commands,
will he have to continue to
wear the Receiver Collar? Probably not. He may need to wear the Receiver Collar
from time to time for reinforcement.
Is the Receiver Collar
waterproof? Yes. When changing the battery, be sure to keep the area
free from dirt and debris.
Can I use the Remote Training
Collar on aggressive pets? We do not recommend any of our products to be used
on aggressive pets. We recommend you contact your local
veterinarian or professional trainer to determine if your pet
might be aggressive.
Will I get exactly 100 metres
of range with the Remote
Training Collar? The range you get with your Trainer will vary according to
terrain, weather, vegetation, as well as transmission from
other radio devices. To get the maximum amount of range,
please refer to “How the System Works” section of this guide.
How long can I continuously
deliver Stimulation to my pet? The maximum amount of time you can press the
Stimulation Button and deliver Stimulation to your pet
continuously is 8 seconds. After eight seconds, the Remote
Transmitter will time-out, and the Stimulation Button
must be released and pressed again.
What do I do if my pet’s neck
becomes red and irritated? This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the
skin. Discontinue use of the Receiver Collar for a few
days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your
veterinarian. Once the skin returns to normal, replace
Receiver Collar, and monitor the skin condition closely.
Can I place the Receiver
Collar on another collar? No. The collar used for this unit has a sleeve to hold the
Antenna.
Can I attach a lead to the
Receiver Collar? No. This can result in pulling the Contact Points too tightly
against your pet’s neck. Use a separate non-metallic collar
placed above the Receiver Collar to attach a lead.
How long can I leave the
Receiver Collar on my pet? The Receiver Collar is not designed to be worn constantly.
The Receiver Collar should not be worn for more than 8
hours out of every 24-hour period.
