Dog Training You should research and investigate the training methods best suited for you, your dog, and your needs. When used properly, the Sport PRO training system is an effective training tool to aid your dog in reaching its full potential. The use of the training system should be part of an overall training program. Fitting the Collar on Your Dog CAUTION To prevent irritation from the contact points, remove the collar for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour period. This device is not intended for human use. Do not attempt to use on any person. Do not spray the device or collar with harsh chemicals including but not limited to flea or tick spray. Always ensure that any flea or tick spray that is applied to the dog is completely dry before placing the collar on the dog. Small amounts of harsh chemicals can damage the plastic components and collar laminate. Dog Training DRAFT In order to properly correct the dog, the collar and device must fit the dog properly. If the collar is too loose or positioned incorrectly, corrections may be inconsistent. This can delay or prevent successful training. 1 Position the device at the front of the dog's neck, with the status LED facing toward the dog's chin and the contact points against the throat. TIP: For bark correction, the device contact points should be positioned near the dog's vocal cords. This location varies based on the breed of dog. If the device does not seem to detect the dog's barks, you should move the device closer to or farther from the dog's body to find the ideal location. 2 Tighten the strap so that it is very snug around the dog's neck, and fasten the buckle. NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and should not be able to rotate or slide on the dog's neck. The dog must be able to swallow food and water normally. You should observe your dog's behavior to verify that the collar is not too tight. 3 Wiggle the device to work the contact points through the dog's coat. NOTE: The contact points must have contact with the dog's skin to be effective. 4 If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least 3 in. (8 cm) to spare. TIP: You can mark the hole used to fasten the buckle for future reference. Dog Training 7 DRAFT Selecting and Installing the Contact Points For best results, select the correct contact points based on your dog's coat. 1 Select the correct contact point length for your dog's coat type:
For dogs with thicker coats, use the longer contact points. For dogs with shorter coats, use the shorter contact points. 2 If necessary, use the included wrench to remove the contact points. 3 Twist the contact points into the collar. 4 Tighten with the included wrench, but do not overtighten. When you put the collar on the dog, make sure the contact points are tight against the neck. Training Methods NOTE: Training features are not available in all areas for tracking collars. Momentary stimulation: Applies a brief stimulation when you press the training key, regardless of how long the key is depressed. Continuous stimulation: Applies stimulation to the dog the entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of 8 seconds. Your stimulations should typically be much shorter than 8 seconds. Tone: Activates an audible tone instead of stimulation. A tone can be used as either a positive or negative training cue, depending on your training program. Vibration: Applies vibration instead of stimulation to the dog the entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of 8 seconds. The effectiveness of vibration may vary based on the dog's temperament and experience.
