Safety Precautions
All Havahart products have been thoroughly tested for safety and effectiveness.
To protect your dog and yourself, please observe the following safety
precautions:
• Never leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours at one time.
• Only use the Havahart Remote Trainer with healthy dogs ages 6 months and
older, and
weighing more than 8lbs. Consult your veterinarian before using the collar if
your dog has
health problems. Do not use on puppies.
• Check collar fit each time you place collar on your dog – the collar must be
fitted properly to
work effectively (see “Fitting the Collar”).
• Check dogs daily for skin irritation and do not use the collar if the skin is
irritated.
• Always use the lowest stimulation possible to train your dog.
Contents of the Havahart Extra Collar
1. Water Resistant Collar Receiver- powered by a disposable CR2 lithium
battery. This device delivers stimulation to the dog via collar probes.
2. Static Stimulation Probes (2) sets: (2) short probes for short-haired dogs and
(2) long probes (factory installed) for dogs with longer or thicker coats. The short
probes are supplied separately in this carton.
3. Heart-shaped Tester
4. Disposable CR2 Lithium Battery
GETTING STARTED
Installing the Battery
Before you begin, install the CR2 lithium battery (included) in the collar.
Remove and replace the battery hatch cover with a coin. The battery life will
depend on how frequently your dog receives the static stimulus. You’ll know the
collar battery needs to be replaced when you see the collar indicator light blink
red every 3 seconds. Replacement batteries can be found at most electronic
stores.
Installing the Probes
Your collar comes factory installed with long probes for thick or long-haired
breeds. You can use the short probes for short-haired dogs.
To change the probes, simply unscrew the long probes and replace them. Be sure
the rubber insulator is between the probe and the collar strap. Hand-tighten the
probes as far as you can. Do not over tighten.
Always use rubber insulators to keep probes tight and provide insulation during
damp conditions. The rubber insulators are necessary to maintain the water
resistance.
Fitting the Collar
Very Important! The collar must be fitted properly to work effectively.
Be sure the collar is turned off. Position the collar high up on your pet’s neck
underneath the chin, with the probes facing upward touching the pet’s skin.
Make sure probes maintain contact with skin. Adjust nylon collar to fit snug but
not tight. You should be able to slide one finger between your pet’s coat and the
training collar.
The correct fit is essential because most training failures are caused
by probes not making direct contact with the skin.
Once collar is adjusted to correct length, remove collar, trim excess, and use a
match or lighter to carefully melt the end of the strap to prevent fraying.
Remember, for growing dogs, check collar size weekly and adjust when
necessary. Allow enough nylon for the collar to grow with your dog.
Havahart recommends that you help your dog get used to wearing the collar
