PART 5 – IMPORTANT CAUTION NOTICES
Dogs are Unpredictable: Because individual dogs have unique
temperaments, there is no way of knowing how your dog will react to
its introduction to the training program. For your safety and your dog’s,
initial training must take place using a training lead so that you keep
complete control over the situation. Also realize that an aggressive
animal could turn against the handler upon receiving the shock stimulus.
Therefore, if you feel your dog has an aggressive behavior or has ever
exhibited evidence of such behavior, we strongly suggest that you
consult a certied animal behaviorist before using this product as a
training aid.
Skin Conditions: A small percentage of dogs may experience a skin
condition called pressure necrosis, also known as contact dermatitis,
caused by the pressure of the two probes against the same place on
the dog’s neck for an extended period of time. This condition causes
an infection, creating irritation and sores. We recommend you check
your dog’s neck often to ensure that no such condition is evident. If your
dog has a history of sensitive skin, eczema, skin allergies or rashes we
recommend that you do not use an electronic collar. If you do observe a
skin irritation, take your dog to a veterinarian who may prescribe a local
ointment to clear up the condition. Bear in mind that it is not possible for
the shock stimulus emitted by the collar to directly damage your pet’s
skin. The electrical current output is simply too low to cause burning, or
any other type of cellular, skin or organ damage. The stimulus excites
nerve receptors only.
Neurological Conditions: In extremely rare cases, animals may have
neurological disorders such as epilepsy. You should be certain that your
dog does not suffer from such a disease before using any type of sonic,
or shock stimulus training collar. Also, make sure that your dog does not
suffer from heart disease or any other chronic condition and be assured
that your pet is in generally good health before using this product.
