Important: Do not attach a lead to the collar. This can result in pulling the Contact
Points too tightly against your pet’s neck. Attach a lead to a separate, non-metallic
collar or harness, making sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact
Points.
Care and Cleaning
For comfort, safety, and effectiveness of this product, please ensure that you check the
fi t of your pet’s collar frequently. This Guide describes proper collar fi tting. 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.
To prevent skin irritation from occurring:
• The Receiver Collar should not be worn for more than 8 hours out of every 24-hour
period.
• Your pet’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a wash cloth and
mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.
• Be sure that your pet’s neck is thoroughly dry before placing the Receiver Collar back
on its neck.

Find the Best Intensity Level for Your Pet
The Remote Training Collar has seven (7) different stimulation Intensity Levels. The
fi rst setting on the intensity dial (T) is tone only. Levels 1 to 7 are increasing levels of
stimulation, tone can still be given with all these levels. This allows you to choose no
stimulation or the stimulation that is best for your dog.
Note: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your dog, start by fi nding the Level that is
best for your dog. This is called the Recognition Level. To fi nd this level your dog needs
to be calm and not distracted. This level is the main level to use in training and is the
base level. It may have to be increased when your dog is distracted or more excited. The
aim of fi nding this Recognition level is to determine the exact level at which your dog
notices the new sensation.
To begin your training follow the steps below to fi nd your dog’s Recognition Level. You
will know when your dog is noticing or recognising the stimulation by a slight change
in his behaviour. Look for something he does which shows that he is feeling something
different - this indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him when he is not excited.
It is important to remember at this time that a dog that appears sensitive and shy does not
indicate it requires a low level, or a hard headed, independent dog requires a high level.
