Firmware Update feature
The most unique and useful feature of
your Bluefang collar is something you
won’t notice right away. However, it will
allow your collar to grow and change
with new features and functions as they
become available from the developers
at High Tech Pet. When your collar con-
nects, the app checks the collar to make
sure it has the latest firmware. If there is
a newer one available, the app will ask if
you wish to download it.
If The the app gets the latest firmware
from our online server and wirelessly
transfers it to the collar. Don’t be sur-
prised if you notice new and useful fea-
tures that take advantage of the advanced
hardware in your Bluefang collar.
Principles of positive behavioral training
Your Bluefang collar is designed around High Tech Pet’s propri-
etary Command - Tone - Stimulus™ training system that uses
positive tones as both command and reward. To teach your dog a
positive behavior, you will need a short training lead on a separate
restraining collar. For initial training you will need some dog treats.
The process of behavioral training will associate the TONE COM-
MAND emitted by the Bluefang collar with a verbal command such
as Sit, Stay or Heel. It will also be associated with the reward.
STEP 1:
Decide the verbal command and the TONE COMMAND
button to be used, for example, “Sit” and TONE COMMAND but-
ton 1.
STEP 2:
Say the verbal command and activate the associated
tone while demonstrating the behavior. For “Sit”, Say “Sit” and
gently pull up on the training lead while pushing down on your
dog’s hind section manipulating him into a sitting position.
STEP 3:
Administer the reward by saying “Good Dog” and again
