Fitting the Collar on Your Dog CAUTION

To prevent irritation from the contactpoints, remove the collar for at least eighthours out of every 24-hour period.This device is not intended for human use.Do not attempt to use on any person.Do not spray the device or collar withharsh chemicals including but not limitedto flea or tick spray. Always ensure thatany flea or tick spray that is applied to thedog is completely dry before placing the

collar on the dog. Small amounts of harshchemicals can damage the plasticcomponents and collar laminate.

In order to effectively train the dog, thecollar and device must fit the dog properly.If the collar is too loose or positionedincorrectly, stimulation may beinconsistent. This can delay or preventsuccessful training.1 Position the device at the front of the

dog's neck, with the status LED facingtoward the dog's chin and the contactpoints against the throat.TIP: For bark correction, the devicecontact points should be positionednear the dog's vocal cords. Thislocation varies based on the breed ofdog. If the device does not seem todetect the dog's barks, you shouldmove the device closer to or fartherfrom the dog's body to find the ideallocation.

2 Tighten the strap so that it is very snugaround the dog's neck, and fasten thebuckle.NOTE: The collar should fit tightly andshould not be able to rotate or slide on

the dog's neck. The dog must be ableto swallow food and water normally.You should observe your dog'sbehavior to verify that the collar is nottoo tight.

3 Wiggle the device to work the contactpoints through the dog's coat.NOTE: The contact points must havecontact with the dog's skin to beeffective.

4 If the strap is too long, cut off theexcess, leaving at least 8 cm (3 in.) tospare.TIP: You can mark the hole used tofasten the buckle for future reference.

Selecting and Installing the ContactPointsFor best results, select the correct contactpoints based on your dog's coat.1 Select the correct contact point length

for your dog's coat type:• For dogs with thicker coats, use

the longer contact points.• For dogs with shorter coats, use

the shorter contact points.2 If necessary, use the included wrench

to remove the contact points.3 Twist the contact points into the collar.4 Tighten with the included wrench, but

do not overtighten.When you put the collar on the dog, makesure the contact points are tight againstthe neck.

Dog TrainingYou should research and investigate thetraining methods best suited for you, yourdog, and your needs.When used properly, the Sport PROtraining system is an effective training toolto aid your dog in reaching its full potential.

6 Dog Training

The use of the training system should bepart of an overall training program.

Training MethodsMomentary stimulation: Applies a brief

stimulation when you press the trainingkey, regardless of how long the key isdepressed.

Continuous stimulation: Appliesstimulation to the dog the entire timeyou press the training key, for amaximum of 8 seconds. Yourstimulations should typically be muchshorter than 8 seconds.

Tone: Activates an audible tone instead ofstimulation. A tone can be used aseither a positive or negative trainingcue, depending on your trainingprogram.

Vibration: Applies vibration instead ofstimulation to the dog the entire timeyou press the training key, for amaximum of 8 seconds. Theeffectiveness of vibration may varybased on the dog's temperament andexperience.

Choosing the CorrectIntensity Level1 Set the intensity to the lowest level.2 Select a training key.3 Observe the dog for a reaction, such

as a head shake, neck movement, orjust a change in expression.Sometimes dogs will vocalize due tothe surprise of the electricalstimulation. If the dog vocalizes morethan once, the intensity level is toohigh for beginning training.

4 If there is no reaction, increase theintensity level by one level until thedog has a slight but recognizablereaction to the stimulation.

The intensity level that causes a slight butrecognizable reaction is your dog'sbaseline level for beginning collar training.You do not need to, and should not, applythis intensity selection test again.After you begin training, the dog’sperformance guides your intensityselection. As the dog advances in training,you may need to change the leveldepending upon the training situation.

Dog Training 7

Changing the Intensity LevelYou can select a different intensity levelfor each dog collar device.1 Select a dog collar device (page 5).2 Adjust the dial to increase or decrease

the intensity level.

• An automatic, gradual increase instimulation intensity

Automatic IntensityThe device can set the stimulationintensity level automatically based on thebarking behavior of the dog. The devicestarts at the lowest intensity level andincreases the intensity level gradually untilthe dog stops barking. When the dog isquiet, the intensity decreases over time.The automatic intensity feature isdesigned to eliminate excessive nuisancebarking. To stop barks more immediately,you should set the intensity level manually.Status LEDThe status LED flashes briefly when thedog collar device detects motion orcorrects a bark.Green, yellow,or red flash
