Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Stimulation safe for 
my pet?

While the Stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your 
pet. Electronic training devices require interaction and 
training from the owner to achieve desired results.

How old does a pet have to be 
before using the 250 m Remote 
Trainer?

The system should only be used with pets who are over 
6 months of age.  If your pet is injured or its mobility is 
otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or professional 
trainer before use. Your pet should be able to learn basic 
obedience commands such as “Sit” or “Stay.” The Receiver 
Collar may be too large for dogs under 3.6 kg.

Once my pet is trained and has 
been obeying my commands, 
will he have to continue to wear 
the Receiver Collar?

Probably not. He may need to wear the Receiver Collar 
from time to time for reinforcement.

Is the Receiver 
Collar waterproof?

Yes. If the rechargeable battery pack ever needs to be 
replaced, make sure the o-ring and o-ring groove are free 
from dirt and debris. 

Can I use the 250 m Remote 
Trainer with more 
than one pet? 

Yes, Add-A-Dog

®

 Receiver Collars must be purchased 

and the Remote Transmitter must be changed to Mode 
3 or 4.

Will I get exactly 250 m of range 
with the 250 m Remote Trainer?

The range you get with your 250 m Remote Trainer 
will vary according to terrain, weather, vegetation, as 
well as transmission from other radio devices. To get the 
maximum amount of range, please refer to “How the 
System Works” section of this guide.

How long can I continuously 
deliver Stimulation to my pet?

The maximum amount of time you can press the 
Continuous Stimulation Button and deliver Stimulation 
to your pet continuously is 8 seconds. After eight 
seconds, the Remote Transmitter will time-out, and the 
Continuous Stimulation Button must be released and 
pressed again.

What do I do if my pet’s neck 
becomes red and irritated? 

This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the 
skin. Discontinue use of the Receiver Collar for a few 
days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your 
veterinarian. Once the skin returns to normal, replace 
Receiver Collar, and monitor the skin condition closely.
