Fit the Collar Receiver

Important: The proper fit and placement of the Collar Receiver is important for 

effective training. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog’s skin.

To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing (3A), center the Collar Receiver so the Contact 

Points are underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (

3B). If your 

dog has a long or thick coat, you have two options to ensure consistent 
contact: either trim the hair around the Contact Points or switch to the 
longer Contact Points included with your system.

3A

2. The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to 

allow one finger to fit between the strap and your dog’s 
neck (

3C).

3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, 

and then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog 
becomes more comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.

3B

Care and Cleaning

To ensure the effectiveness of this product and the 
comfort and safety of your dog, check the fit of his 
collar frequently. This Guide describes proper collar 
fitting. If you notice that your dog is experiencing 
skin irritation, discontinue use of the collar for a few 
days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see 
your veterinarian.

3C

To prevent skin irritation from occurring:

• The Collar Receiver should not be worn for more than 8 hours out of every 24-hour period.

• Your dog’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a washcloth and mild 

hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.

Program the Remote Transmitter

Note: The Transmitter is factory set to mode 6. The mode of the Remote Transmitter can be 
changed to fit your type or style of training.

To change the mode: 

1. Referring to the table on the following page, adjust the Intensity Dial to the  mode you want 

to use.

2. Turn the Remote Transmitter over.

3. With a pen or the tine on the buckle of your collar strap, depress and release the mode 

button. When the mode button is pressed, the Transmitter Indicator Light will be solid in 
color. When it is released, it will flash the mode selected.

For example, if mode 5 is desired, adjust the Intensity Dial to Level 

5. Once the mode button has been depressed, the Transmitter 

Indicator Light will be solid, and once the mode button is released, 

the Transmitter Indicator Light will flash five times.
Note: Continuous Stimulation will transmit for no more than 8 

continuous seconds no matter how long the button is pressed. To 

reactivate, release and repress the button.

Note: Modes 4, 5 and 7 provide 8 levels of stimulation, which correspond to the setting of the 

Intensity Dial. Modes 1, 2, 3 and 6 provide more “increments” to choose from -- a total of 16 levels 

of stimulation. For example, in mode 6 with the Intensity Dial set at 2, the bottom button provides 

level 3 of 16 and the top button provides level 4 of 16.

Match the Collar Receiver and the

Remote Transmitter

To reset the Collar Receiver to work with a new Remote Transmitter or to reprogram a 
new Collar Receiver to work with your existing Remote Transmitter:
A. Turn the Collar Receiver off.
B. Press and hold the On/Off Button. The Receiver Indicator Light will come on, then 

turn off after 4-5 seconds. If the On/Off Button is released too early, the Receiver 
Indicator Light will begin flashing as normal. If this occurs, start over and repeat 
from 

A.

C. After the Receiver Indicator Light has turned off, release the On/Off Button. 

D. Press and hold the Upper Button on the Remote Transmitter until the Receiver 

Indicator Light flashes 5 times. You may need to hold both units 2-3 feet from each 
other before this occurs. Once the Receiver Indicator Light has flashed 5 times, the 
Collar Receiver has been reset and will begin flashing as normal. If the Receiver 
Indicator Light does not flash 5 times, start over and repeat from 

A.
