Training Suggestions
Whenever your dog is with a pack of other dogs, disable SHOCK Cor-
rection. That way if another dog triggers a correction it is only an audible
tone. Re-enable SHOCK when the dog is again alone.
Likewise whenever your dog is going into a noisy, or banging environ-
ment, disable the SHOCK. If you nd over time that this environment
does not trigger any correction tones, you may choose to leave SHOCK
Correction enabled.
Fitting the Collar to Your Dog
A. For the collar to properly apply the corrective shock stimulus, it is
very important that the electrodes make good contact with the ani-
mal’s skin. Fur between the electrodes and skin can greatly reduce
the amount of stimulus transmitted to your dog. For this reason, we
recommend that you shave the fur under your dog’s neck where the
electrodes contact the skin.
B. Two sets of Shock Probes are included with the BT-3; a long set
for thick haired dogs, and a short set for short haired animals. The
probes screw on to threaded studs in the bottom of the collar. Use
pliers if necessary to loosen or tighten the probes. Periodically check
to make sure the probes are still tight.
C. Place the collar around your dog’s neck with the housing at the bottom.
D. Fit the strap snugly but not so tight as to restrict breathing or cause
harm to the neck.
E. Make sure both electrodes are in good contact with your dog’s skin.
Use of a little skin lotion on your dog’s neck will improve contact. If
necessary change to the longer Shock Probes.
F. Once you have determined the proper t, mark the strap and cut off
the excess length.
