TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. My dog is not reacting to the collar.
- Make sure the receiver is turned on. Push
and hold the ON/OFF button on the receiver
for two seconds until the LED light starts
blinking. Push the blue button on the
transmitter until it illuminates to activate the
transmitter.
- Be sure the collar strap is tight enough so
both contact points are touching the dog’s
skin.
- The contact points may be too short for the
dog. To place an order for longer contacts
appropriate for your dog, please call
(888) 811-9111.
If you are already using the longest contact
point available, you might need to trim
down the hair on the dog’s neck so both
contact points are touching the dog’s skin.
- The intensity level may be too low for your
dog. Keep increasing the stimulation until
the dog responds usually by neck
movement, head shaking, looking over his
shoulder, etc. (response may be very subtle
so pay attention.)

always secured when the collar is in use. If your
plugs break or are ripped, please contact

After each session, carefully inspect your
unit for any missing parts, or casing damage.
Broken casings on either the receiver or

of the unit. The transmitter antenna should be
secured and tight for optimum performance.
Rinse the unit after each session and clean off
any dirt or debris.

hours before extended storage. During storage,
