Choosing the Appropriate Length of Contact Points
This is a critical STEP and is often overlooked. If you don’t have the
proper length contact points, the collar won’t work correctly. For
smaller dogs, the short contact points should be used. For larger
dogs, or dogs with a heavier hair coat, you should use the longer
contact points. You may trim the hair if the coat is too thick but
never shave completely as this may lead to a rash or infection.

General Training Tips
1. Make training sessions short and positive (between 10-15
minutes long for each session.)
2. Train one dog at a time.
3. During the first initial training sessions, keep the dog in a
familiar outdoor environment.
4. Use a long leash fastened to a non-metallic collar to help the
dog's learning.
5. Be consistent. Give your dog a tone and/or stimulation with
each misbehave.
6. Teach the dog a command first before reinforcing the
command with the remote transmitter.
7. Issue one obedience command at a time. Do not use the
training system for commands that the dog has not learn.
