TESTING THE SIDEWALKER Reminder: The Pressure Sensor will not activate for 10 seconds after turning 'on' the SideWalker. Testing the Vibration Setting: • Start in the 'off' position ('0'). • Turn the dial to the ‘V’(vibrate) position. • Gently press on the pressure sensor under the collar strap and then begin to increase the pressure.
FITTING THE SIDEWALKER When fitting the collar, make sure the the dial is set in the ‘0’ (off) position. Proper Fit Proper fit is very important. The collar strap should be slightly loose. You should be able to easily insert your thumb under the collar strap.
FINDING THE APPROPRIATE SETTING 1. Turn-on the SideWalker and set it to ‘V’ (vibration). 2. Place the SideWalker collar on your dog and attach your leash to the ‘D’ ring on the collar. 3. Pull gently on the leash. Gradually increase the pressure and watch carefully for any kind of a reaction, such as a head shake, ear twitch or any subtle change in behavior.
USING THE SIDEWALKER Proper Placement of the SideWalker The collar strap should be slightly loose so the SideWalker can rotate on the dog's neck. As you walk with the dog, the SideWalker must rotate to a position opposite the direction of the leash pull. For example, if the dog is on your left, the Side Walker should rotate to the left side of the dog’s neck.

USING THE SIDEWALKER Traditional Leash Training The sensation from the collar combined with leash pressure you initiate will help guide the dog into the desired position. Sometimes you will initiate the leash pressure to signal the dog to return to the proper walking position, and sometimes the dog will self-correct his pulling behavior.
