Regular Maintenance
CAUTION: RISK OF SKIN DAMAGE
For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this product please check the fit of the
dog's collar frequently. If observing any skin irritation, immediately discontinue
use of the collar for a few days. If the skin condition persists beyond 48 hours,
consult a veterinarian. These collars can cause pressure necrosis, commonly
known as bed sores, if used incorrectly and is often misidentified as burns.
Do not attach a leash to the collar, which can result in squeezing the Contact
Points too tightly against your dog's neck.
The design of the Collar Receiver discourages constantly wearing the device. iPets
recommends the collar not wearing for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period.
Most dogs feel uncomfortable when wearing the collar for the very first time. Do
not use any functions until the dog is accustomed to the collar.
iPets suggests giving the dog, the vibration stimulation before following it with a
static shock. After training for a while using this method, the dog will be aware that
after vibration comes a static shock. Vibration will act as a warning, and static
shock only acts as a menace that might be necessary sometimes.
Ensure Contact Points are not too tight on a weekly basis.
Rinse the Contact Points with alcohol on a weekly basis.
Check the dog's neck for irritation and wash the dog's neck on a weekly basis.
How old does the dog have to be before using the system?
Your dog should have learned basic obedience commands such as, “sit” or “stay.”
The Collar Receiver might be too large for dogs under 15lbs.
Once my dog completes training and is been obeying my commands, will
he have to wear the collar?
Probably not, but you may try to reinforce training with the collar.
Can I use the iPets rechargeable training collar with more than one dog?
Yes, you just need to purchase another Collar Receiver for the system.
Is the Collar Receiver waterproof?
Yes, but always ensure that the Rubber Cover seals the Charging Jack.
Can I replace the Collar receiver with another kind of collar?
No.
Can I attach a leash to the Collar Receiver?
No, this can result in pulling the Contact Points too tightly against the dog's neck.
Attach a leash to a separate, nonmetallic collar or a harness. Ensure the extra
collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
How long can I leave the Collar Receiver on my dog?
The design of the collar discourages constant wearing. We recommend not having
the dog wear the collar for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period.

circumference is smaller than 5.9”, you will be forced to rethread the collar, if the
dog's neck circumference is larger than 22”, this collar may not be suitable for the
dog. This collar is not suitable for dogs under 15lbs.
