FITTING THE COLLAR
To ensure eective training and dog’s safety, you must properly t the collar on
your dog. e collar must t 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 t two ngers 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 chang. Cover the contact points with conduc-
tive 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.
FINDING THE BEST STIMULATION LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG
CAUTION: Start with Vibration mode rst and use Shock mode as a last
resort.
PetSpy e-collar can be a powerful tool for encouraging desired behavior. But
rst, 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.
is 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. is reduces con-
fusion, fosters a positive training attitude, and accelerates learning, rapidly
producing o-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.
