• Do not use this product if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury and even death to their owner
and others. If you are unsure whether this product is appropriate for your dog, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
• This device contains Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries; never incinerate, puncture, deform, short-circuit, or charge with an inappropriate
charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or bodily harm may occur if this warning is not followed.
• It is vitally important that you and your pet remain safe while learning during on-leash training. Your pet 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 hazard. You must be physically strong
enough to restrain your pet if he tries to chase something.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children.
• Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage ranging from
redness to pressure ulcers. This condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the collar on a pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible, reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Regularly recheck the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. However, never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
• Never connect a leash to a collar with contact points. It will cause excessive pressure on the contact points.
• When connecting a leash to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on the training collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contact points of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue using this product until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

• This product is only for use with healthy pets. If you’re not certain that your pet is in good health, we recommend that you take your pet to a
veterinarian before using this product.
