Important Safety Information

Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols Used in this Guide
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.
Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in harm to your pet.
• Do not use this product if your pet is aggressive or is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive
pets can cause severe injury and even death to owners and others. If you are unsure whether
this product is appropriate for your pet, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
• This device contains Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Never incinerate, puncture, deform, short-
circuit, or charge with an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or bodily
harm may occur if this warning is not followed.
• It is vitally important that you and your pet remain safe during on-leash training. Your pet
should be on a strong leash that is long enough for him to attempt to chase an object but short
enough for him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong
enough to restrain your pet if he tries to chase.
• This product is not a toy; keep away from children. Use it only for pet training purposes.
• Proper fit of the training collar is important. A training collar worn for too long or made too
tight on a pet's neck may cause skin damage, ranging from redness to pressure ulcers. This
condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the training collar on a pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the training collar on a pet's neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Regularly recheck the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this guide.
• Never connect a leash to the training collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contact points.
• When connecting a leash to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on the training collar.
• Wash the pet's neck area and the contact points of the training 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 use of the training collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
• This product must be used only on healthy dogs. If you're not certain that your pet is in good
health, we recommend that you take your pet to a veterinarian before using this product.
