• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Do not short circuit, mix old and
new batteries, dispose of in fire, or expose to water. When batteries are stored or disposed,
they must be protected from shorting. Dispose of used batteries properly.
• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to aggressive
behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury or death to their owners and others. If
you are not sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to your veterinarian or a
certified trainer.
• Safety during on-leash training. It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while
learning during on-leash training. Your dog 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 unsafe
area. You must also be physically strong enough to restrain your dog when he tries to chase.
• This pet training device is not a toy, keep away from children.
• Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this guide. 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 the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts 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 use of the collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet secure and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable
while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may
find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these
precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are
found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
