Whether you are training a companion dog, a hunting dog or a dog
athlete, we generally want to attain the same results: we want our pets to
be happy and safe. We also want them to respond to commands timely
even when at a distance and in the presence of distractions.
The ABBIDOT Dog Training Collar is a powerful training tool that can help
you attain these results.
The ABBIDOT electronic training collar (e-collar) is a safe, reliable and
effective training tool. With it, you can make timely corrections to your
dog’s behavior — even at a distance.
Thanks to the collar’s adjustable levels, you get to match the intensity of
stimulation to your dog’s temperament and the distraction level of the
moment for maximum training efficiency.
With that, correcting unwanted behaviors is only a fraction of you can do
with your new e-collar.
In fact, the ABBIDOT e-collar can be a powerful tool for encouraging
desired behavior. But first, you need to identify the right e-collar settings
for your dog: the one that is high enough to be noticed but not so high as
to be disruptive.
The next step would be for your dog to control the “behavior” of the
collar with their actions.
You may soon find that these methods of e-collar training are actually
gentler than many traditional leash-training methods. E-collar training can
improve communication with your pet by providing instant feedback to
your dog during training. This reduces confusion, fosters a positive
training attitude and accelerates learning, rapidly producing off-leash
reliability.
Even if your dog already knows the basic obedience commands, follow
the procedures given. Your dog must learn how to respond to the e-collar
for each command before you can use your ABBIDOT collar for training at
a distance.
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the
e-collar and attach a 10-foot leash. Note: be sure the extra collar does not
put pressure on the contact points.
2. Hold the leash and the remote in one hand. Keep your other hand free
to guide your pet into a “Sit” position.
3. Press and hold the [S] button, starting at your pet’s Recognition Level.
4. Immediately give the “Sit” command while continuing to hold the [S]
button.
5. Release the [S] button as soon as your pet is in position and praise him.
6. Release your pet from the “Sit” command and play.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6.
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on
your pet’s neck ABOVE the collar
and attach a 10-foot leash.
Note: be sure the extra collar does not
put pressure on the contact points.
2. Hold the leash in one hand and the
remote in the other.
3. Wait for your pet to walk away from
you. Using the Recognition Level for your
pet, press and hold the [S] button on
your remote.
4. Immediately give the command
“Come” while continuing to hold the [S]
button.
5. Using the leash, gently guide your pet
toward you until they begin to come in
your direction.
6. Immediately release the
[S] button as soon as your pet steps
towards you and praise them enthusiasti-
cally.
7. Quickly move backwards as your pet begins to come back to you praising
him the entire time.
8. Praise your pet when he returns to you.
9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8.
10. Once your pet has responded readily to the “Come” command several
times, back away from him without giving a command. When your pet
turns toward you, give the “Come” command (WITHOUT STIMULATION)
and praise them while you continue to back up. Praise your pet when he
returns to you.
11. Use your leash to prevent your pet from running past you. If your pet
manages to run past you, repeat Steps 3 through 8.
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the collar
and attach a 10-foot leash. Note: be sure the extra collar does not put
pressure on the contact points.
2. Put your pet on his bed or on a cooling mat. Hold your leash in one hand
and the remote in the other.
3. Staying within 3 feet, walk the perimeter of the bed. Do not say anything
to your pet.
4. If your pet tries to leave the bed, press and hold the [S] button and give
the “Stay” command. Continue to hold the button until your pet is back on
their bed. If necessary, use the leash to guide your pet onto their place.
5. Praise your pet when they are back on their bed. You are welcome to
use treats.
6. Once your pet has settled for a few seconds, release him and play
calmly.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 5.
Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to
jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not
encourage this behavior as well. This means that every time your pet
jumps on someone, they should be reprimanded or redirected to an
alternate and acceptable behavior, for which they can receive praise.
It is important to first understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs like
terriers, were bred to flush out prey and digging is very natural to them.
Other dogs may be digging to find a cool spot to lay down or simply out of
boredom.
Your pet may no longer have the desire to dig if they are is provided with
the following:
A cool, shaded area in which to lay down, and plenty of water.
An alternate activity, such as a favorite toy.
Plenty of play, exercise, and attention.
A yard free from rodents or prey that your dog may be trying to find.
1. On the remote, select your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. As soon as your pet lifts a paw off the ground to jump on you, press the
[S] button and give the “Sit” command.
3. Release the [S] button immediately once your pet is sitting, and
verbally praise them.
4. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level.
5. Practice this exercise in several different areas and use different people
for distractions.
1. Choose the intensity level that is one level above your pet’s Recognition
Level.
2. Place the collar on your pet and wait at least 10 minutes before letting
them out in the yard. No other people or pets should be in the yard, as you
do not want your pet to associate the stimulation with anything other than
digging. Your pet must be securely fenced in or contained during training.
3. From a window or area where your pet cannot see you, wait until your pet
begins to dig.
4. As your pet starts digging, press the [S] button and release it when the
digging stops. Only press the button while your pet is in the act of digging
and do not say anything.
5. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level.
6. Continue to watch your pet as they may choose another area to dig.
7. Do not allow your pet in the yard unsupervised until the digging has
stopped completely.
Note: if your pet breaks the “Sit” command, repeat steps 3 through 6.
Keep your pet close to you while teaching the “Sit” command.
Note: it is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command.
● The ABBIDOT Dog Training Collar is not designed to be worn constantly.
We strongly advise you to reserve collar usage to active training sessions.
When you leave your dog unattended, make sure to take the collar off.
● Most dogs will feel uncomfortable when wearing the collar for the first
time. Don’t use any commands until your dog has got used to the collar
which will normally take several days.
● Eliminate one unwanted action or teach one obedience command at a
time. If you move too quickly with the training, your dog may become
confused.
● Be consistent with your training. Give your dog the same stimulation for
each unwanted action. We suggest you to use Vibration Stimulation before
starting the Static Shock Stimulation. If you follow this training method,
your dog will learn that Static Shock Stimulation might come after
Vibration. This way, the Vibration Stimulation alone can effectively to curb
unwanted behavior of your dog.
● Do not over-correct. Use as little stimulation as possible to train your dog.
● Following a predefined scenario of all your training sessions can
dramatically improve your chances of success.
● Should your dog react to the training by hiding or acting fearfully, try to
redirect their attention to a simple command such as “Speak” or “Sit” to
calm them down. Use treats to help your dog understand what
commands have been done correctly.

No Unlawful or Prohibited Use
General Tips
Chasing is an instinctive behavior stimulated by moving objects. Some
dogs have a particularly strong desire to chase that can put them in
harm’s way and leave you helpless. Never allow your dog off the leash or
out of a contained area until they have learned the “Come” command,
regardless of the distraction. Be consistent and correct your dog every
time they chase something.
CAUTION! It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while
learning during on-leash training. Your dog should be on a strong leash,
long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for
him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically
strong to restrain your dog when they try to chase.
The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting
food from your pet’s environment. You can use the e-collar to teach your
pet to stay away from these items; however, you must be prepared to
correct your pet every time they approach them.
The ABBIDOT Dog Training Collar can be used for puppies/cats/dogs
weighing between 5 and 100 lbs. However, we do not recommend
e-collar training for puppies under 6 months old. E-collar training is also
not recommended if your pet is behaving aggressively.
If you are unsure about whether this type of training is suitable for your
pet, consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
Proper use includes reviewing the entire User Manual and Dog Training
Guide provided with this product. Pay extra attention to all the Caution
statements.
Once my pet’s training is
complete, do I need to
keep using the collar?
How long can I
continuously deliver
Vibration or Shock
stimulation to my pet?
What should I do if my
dog’s neck becomes red
and irritated?
It fully depends on your and your pet’s
situation. You might need to reinforce the
results of collar training from time to time.
While the Vibration/Shock stimulation may
be unpleasant, it is generally harmless to
your pet when used correctly. However,
your input as a trainer is essential in
ensuring the safety of this process.
Your pet should be able to recognize basic
obedience commands such as “Sit” or “Stay”.
Pets should be at least 6 months old before
you can use the training collar to train them.
The range of the remote may be affected
by a number of factors like terrain,
weather, vegetation, transmission from
other radio devices and so on.
Probably not. You may need to reinforce
training with the Receiver Collar from
time to time.
No longer than 10 seconds for Vibration mode.
No longer than 3 seconds for Static Shock
mode.
IMPORTANT: while it is okay to use the
Vibration mode for up to 10 seconds, it is highly
recommended to limit the continuous Static
Shock stimulation to no more than 3 seconds
(the smaller the dog the shorter the time)
Stop using the product immediately for at
least 48 hours. If the condition persists
beyond 48 hours, consult your veterinarian.
Can I attach a leash to
the e-collar?
No, this can result in pulling the contact
points too tightly against your dog’s neck. Use
a separate collar when needed.
How long can I leave the
e-collar on my dog for?
How long can I
continuously deliver
vibration/Shock to
my pet?
The collar is not designed to be worn
continuously. We recommend your pet only
wears the e-collar during training sessions or
other outdoor activities.
The maximum amount of time you can press
the Vibration/Shock Button and deliver
Vibration/Shock to your pet continuously is
10 seconds. After this, there’s a time-out and
Vibration/Shock cannot be delivered for 5
seconds. After the 5 second time-out, you can
press the button again to deliver
Vibration/Shock.
How long should the
training session be?
Will I get exactly 1500 feet
of range with the collar’s
remote?
Once my pet is trained and has
been obeying my commands,
will he have to continue to
wear the Receiver Collar?
How old does my pet have
to be for me to use the
e-collar for training?
Is the Vibration/Shock
safe for my pet?
Is the e-collar waterproof?
Training sessions should be kept short and
positive (10-15 minutes).
