FITTING THE COLLAR
To ensure effective training and dog’s safety, you must properly fit the collar on your
dog. The collar must fit snugly to allow the “contact points” to have direct contact with
the skin. Position the receiver unit high up on your dog’s neck just below ears.
You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar strap and your dog’s skin. Too
tight poses the risk of skin irritation and discomfort. Too loose and the contact points
will not be able to administer the stimulation reliably and can cause skin irritation due
to chafing. Cover the contact points with conductive rubber caps to reduce the risk of
skin irritation or injury.
CAUTION: E-collars are not designed to be worn constantly. We recommend using
e-collars only under adult supervision and for no longer than 4 hours per day. NEVER
attach a leash to an e-collar. Use a separate regular collar if there is a need for a leash.
FIND THE BEST STIMULATION LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG
CAUTION: Start with Vibration mode first and use Shock mode as a last resort.
PetSpy e-collar can be a powerful tool for encouraging desired behavior. But first, you
must identify the stimulation intensity level for your dog - it has to be high enough to
be noticed, but not so high as to be disruptive. Your dog must learn to act in response to
the e-collar stimulation and understand that he can control it by his actions.
This method of e-collar training is even gentler than many traditional leash-training
methods. Additionally, the e-collar improves communication by providing instant
feedback to your dog during training. This reduces confusion, fosters a positive training
attitude, and accelerates learning, rapidly producing off-leash reliability.
Even if your dog already knows the basic obedience commands, follow the procedures
given. Your dog must learn how to respond to the e-collar for each command before
you can use your PetSpy collar for training at a distance.
