Instructions:

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.

Risk of skin damage: please read and follow the instructions in this guide. The 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 leash to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a leash, 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 the use of the collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

Training Tips:

Introducing the Remote Trainer: Introduce your SMART DOG training collar when your dog understands basic obedience commands and is over 6 months of age.

Stopping Unwanted Behavior: The level of stimulation should be enough to interrupt your dog and give you the ability to redirect your dog’s attention to another behavior. The behavior you redirect them to should be “incompatible” with the unwanted behavior. For instance, if training a dog not to jump, having them sit instead is incompatible and will keep them from jumping.

One Command at a Time: Focus on teaching one command at a time. NOTE: Using praise or treats immediately after the correct response is great for encouraging your dog to repeat the desired behavior. This can help strengthen the communication between you and your dog.

Collar Conditioning: You don’t want your dog to only associate wearing the training collar with being corrected. While your dog is wearing the collar, make sure to spend ample time playing and letting your dog be a dog. Take the same care in not causing your dog to associate your smartphone with being stimulated. That means that they should see your phone, not just when being stimulated, but at other times. For most people, this shouldn’t be a problem.

NOTE: If your pet reacts to the training tone by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behavior, such as The Sit Command. Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tones. Therefore, training sessions should be conducted outside of the hearing range of other pets.

Battery Maintenance

• Your training collar should come partially charged, but it will require a full charge before you begin using it.
• When storing your training collar for long periods, remember to charge fully once every 4 to 6 weeks.
• Excessive overcharging can shorten battery life. We don’t recommend charging daily unless a low battery indication is shown.
• All rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience.
