Fit the Training Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your training collar is important for effective operation. The
contact points must have direct contact with your dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.
1. Start with the collar turned off and your dog
standing comfortably, not sitting (
A
).
2. Place the training collar on your pet so that the
PetSafe
®
logo is right side up and the training
collar is directly under your dog’s chin. Center the
contact points underneath your dog’s neck,
touching the skin (
B
).
NOTE: It’s sometimes
necessary to trim the hair around the contact
points to make sure that contact is consistent. We’ve also included longer contact points.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. The training collar should not be worn for more than
12 hours out of every 24-hour period. Leaving the training collar on too long could lead to skin irritation. Remove the collar
when you’re not training your dog.
3. Check the tightness of the training collar by inserting one
finger between the end of a contact point and your dog’s
neck (
C
). The fit should be snug but not constricting.
4. Allow your dog to wear the training collar for several
minutes, then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your
dog becomes more comfortable with the training collar.
5. To trim the collar, mark it allowing room for growth or a
winter coat. Remove it from your dog and cut. For nylon collars, use a lighter to seal the end (
D
).
To Re-Thread the Collar
Ridges
Slide Buckle
• The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around your pet’s neck.
• The ridges must be facing up; the collar will slip if it is not properly threaded.
Re-pairing the Collar or Pairing a Second Collar
NOTE: Second collar is available on the 300 Yard trainer or higher.
If your training collar does not respond when a button is pressed, or if you get a second collar, follow these steps:
1. Use the Dog 1/2 button on the remote to select either Dog 1 or Dog 2. With the remote turned on and the collar turned off,
press and hold the on/off button on the collar.
2. After about 5 seconds the LED on collar will turn off indicating that it is ready for pairing. Press either of the top 2 stimulation
buttons. The collar LED will blink 5 times to indicate successful pairing.
NOTE: If you wish to add another training collar to the system, these Add-A-Dog collars are available from www.petsafe.com or
through our Customer Care Center: PAC00-16164 Lite or PAC00-16163.
