HOW DOES PETSPY DOG TRAINING SYSTEM WORK?

PetSpy Dog Training System can assist you with controlling and training your dog without a leash in the range up to 1000 yards. Using a Remote Transmitter you can send a signal to the collar in form of Static Shock, Vibration, or Tone. By using PetSpy Dog Training System consistently, you can train your dog to eliminate any undesired behavior (jumping up, digging, chasing, etc.) and teach your dog many obedience commands (sit, come, stay, etc). Please refer to PetSpy Dog Training Guide for more training tips.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• The Remote System range goes up to 1000 yards. Hold the Transmitter horizontally and away from your body to achieve maximum range. Weather condition, terrain, vegetation, and interference from other electronic devices can affect the maximum communication distance of the system.
• There are 100 levels of Static Shock and Vibration Simulation. If you use the strongest level there is a chance that it can penetrate dog's fur up to 6mm thick. Do not shave your Dog's neck to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
• For comfort, safety, and effectiveness of the system, please start training your pet with the lowest Static Shock level. It's fine to have a Vibration level on medium or high. Please check your dog's neck after each training session for skin irritation. If skin irritation develops, discontinue to use the collar for 48 hours. If condition persist beyond 48 hours, please consult your veterinarian.
• Do not attach a leash to the collar. Use a separate collar if there is a need for a leash.
• We suggest you to use the Vibration Stimulation first before starting to use the Static Shock. Then slowly start training with the lowest level of Static Shock Stimulation. If you follow this training method, your dog will learn that Static Shock Stimulation will come after Vibration. Hence, the Vibration alone can effectively cure unwanted behavior of your dog without a need for Static Shock.

PREPARING REMOTE TRANSMITTER FOR YOUR FIRST USE

Make sure that Remote Transmitter is charged before proceeding to the training:

1. The charging port is located at the bottom of remote. Carefully insert the charging cable into the charging port.
2. The Battery Charge Indicator will start flashing. It takes about 3-4 hours to get a full charge.
3. The remote transmitter is not waterproofed - keep it in a dry place!

REMOTE TRANSMITTER OPERATION

1. The remote always stays in the Stand-by Mode. Simply press any button to wake it up.
2. If you have 2 or 3 collars, you can select which collar is being controlled (1, 2, 3) by pressing the Channel Switch Button.
3. Press the Vibration Button to deliver Vibration Stimulation to your dog.
4. Press the Static Shock Button to deliver Static Shock to your dog.
5. Press the Tone/Beep Button to deliver beeping tone to your dog.
6. You are welcome to attach a lanyard for your convenience.
   

PREPARING RECEIVER COLLAR FOR YOUR FIRST USE

Make sure that Receiver Collar is charged before proceeding to the training:

1. Carefully open the rubber cover over the charging port and connect the charger.
2. Red LED light will start flashing to indicate that receiver is charging.
3. Red LED indicator will stop flashing and turn solid red when collar is fully charged. It takes about 2-4 hours.
4. Put the rubber cover back over the charging port to ensure collar is fully waterproof.

RECEIVER COLLAR OPERATION

1. When Receiver is charged and turned on, it always stays in the Standby Mode waiting for any command to activate it. Red flashing LED indicates that receiver is active.
2. If receiver is charged and turned on but it still does not respond to any command from remote - it has to be re-synchronized.

SYNCHRONIZING REMOTE TRANSMITTER WITH RECEIVER COLLAR

Sometimes the collar can loose connectivity with remote. The fix is pretty quick and simple. Follow these steps to re-synchronize the system:

1. Make sure that both the Transmitter and Receiver are fully charged and turned on.
2. Press and hold the Power button on the Receiver Collar for about 5 seconds to enter the Synchronization Mode - the receiver will beep first and right after that red LED will start flashing.
3. While red LED is flashing, send any correction command from remote. We recommend you to send a Vibration command by pressing and holding the Vibration button on remote until you feel that collar is vibrating. If no command is sent, the flashing will stop after 15 seconds.
4. The system is now resynchronized - try to send any command to test it. If you have 2 or 3 collars, repeat this steps for all collars on channels 1, 2 and 3.
   

TESTING PETSPY DOG TRAINING SYSTEM

Static Shock Test:

• Take the included Test Light Kit and put its metal wire on the Receiver Collar's Contact Points.
• Press the Static Shock Button on the Remote Transmitter.
• The Test Light will light up indicating that Shock is working.
• The higher the Shock level is the brighter it should be.

Vibration Test:

• Press the Vibration Button on the Remote Transmitter.
• The Receiver Collar will vibrate indicating that Vibration Stimulation is working.
• Try to adjust the level of vibration and see how the intensity is changing.

Receiver Tone/Beep Test:

• Press the Receiver Tone Button on the Remote Transmitter.
• The Receiver Collar will beep indicating that Receiver Tone is working.

COLLAR FITTING

Proper fitting and placement of PetSpy Dog Training Collar is important for effective training. The collar must fit your dog securely, but loose enough to allow one finger space between the collar and your dog's neck. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet's skin on the underside of dog's neck.

Putting the Collar On:

1. Have your dog standing comfortably.
2. Center the Contact Points beneath the dog's neck and touching the skin.
3. The Collar should fit securely, yet loose enough to allow one finger space between the collar and dog's neck.
4. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes and check the fitment again when your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the collar.

FIND THE BEST STIMULATION LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG

Start with Vibration mode and use Static Shock only as a last resort.
PetSpy e-collar is a powerful tool for encouraging desired dog's behavior. But first, you must identify an e-collar intensity setting 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.

You will find this 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 the training. This reduces confusion, fosters a positive training attitude, and accelerates learning, rapidly producing off-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.
PetSpy Premium Dog Training Collar has 100 different stimulation levels. This allows you to choose the level that is best for your pet. Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the Stimulation Level that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level. A slight change in your pet's behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar, or flicking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.

Follow the steps below to find your dog's Recognition Level:

1. Starting at the Lowest Level of stimulation on the Remote (1-20), press the Vibration or Shock Stimulation Button continuously.
2. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the Stimulation Level several times before moving up to the next level.
   
   YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT BARK OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
3. Move up through the Stimulation Levels until your dog reliably responds to the stimulation.
4. If your dog continues to show no response at the Highest Level, check the fit of the Receiver Collar. If your dog has long or thick fur you might have to trim it just a little bit around the neck. Then go back to step 1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any results, test the collar to insure it's working properly.

GENERAL TIPS

• PetSpy Dog Training Collar is not design to be worn constantly. We recommend you to limit collar usage just during the active Training Sessions. Always take off the collar when you leave your dog unattended.
• Most dogs will feel uncomfortable when wearing collar for the first time. Don't use any commands until your dog has gotten used to the collar which will normally take several days.
• Eliminate one unwanted action or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move to quickly with training, your dog may become confused.
• Be consistent in your training. Give your dog the same stimulation for each unwanted action. We suggest you to use Vibration Stimulation before starting the Static Shock Stimulation. If you follow this training method, your dog will learn that Static Shock Stimulation might come after Vibration. Hence, the Vibration Stimulation alone can effectively cure unwanted behavior of your dog.
• Do not over-correct. Use as few stimulation as possible to train your dog.
• Following a predefined scenario in all Training Sessions can dramatically improve your chances of success.
• Should your dog react to the training by hiding or reacting fearfully, redirect his attention to a simple command such as "Speak" or "Sit" to calm him down. Use treats to help your dog understand which commands have been done correctly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My PetSpy Premium Dog Training Collar is not working?

• Make sure that both the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar are fully charged.
• Please follow the steps from Synchronizing Remote Transmitter with Receiver Collar paragraph to make sure that transmitter is in sync with collar.

While the Receiver Collar is waterproof, the Remote Transmitter is not and must be kept in a dry place! Water can irreversibly damage the Remote Transmitter!

REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• When not used, PetSpy Dog Training System must be kept in a dry place just like any other electronic device.
• To prevent batteries from damage, charge both the Transmitter and Receiver regularly even when it's not used. Make sure you do not charge it for longer than 4 hours.
• Clean the receiver and contact points weekly.
• Check your dog's neck for irritation weekly.
