Hot Spot Pets Waterproof Shock,Vibration & Tone Long Range Dog Training Collar with LCD Remote, Yellow

Never use the Remote Training Collar to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. We recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional trainer to determine if your pet might be aggressive.

Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.

• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

Training Tips

• Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with training, your pet may become confused.
• Be consistent. Correct your pet every time he misbehaves.
• Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving. However, setting up a situation as a training session can dramatically improve your chances of success.
• If your pet reacts to the tones by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behavior, such as the “sit” command.
• Pets should be at least 6 months old before using the Training Collar.
• Only let responsible family members use the Training Collar. It is not a toy!
• Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tones. Therefore, training sessions should be conducted out of hearing range of other pets.

Troubleshooting

My pet does not respond when I press a button.

• Make sure the Receiver Collar has been turned on.
• If your range has reduced from the first time you used the Remote Training Collar, the battery(s) may be low in either the Remote Transmitter or Receiver Collar.
• Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from other radio devices and many other factors can impact the amount of range you have with the unit.
• Test the Receiver Collar. See “How to use the Test Light” for details.
• Increase the Vibration/Shock Level. Refer to “How to find the best Vibration/Shock Level” for more information.
• Make sure the Receiver Collar’s Contact Points are placed snugly against your pet’s skin. Refer to “Collar fitting” for more information.

The Receiver Collar will not turn on.

• Make sure the Receiver Collar has been charged. For the initial charge, be sure to charge it for 4 hours. Subsequent charges only take 2-3 hours.

• Verify the Receiver Collar is on.
• If the Indicator Light does not come on when any button is pressed on the Transmitter, ensure that the batteries are fully charged.
