The device is always on. It automatically transitions to standby
mode to preserve the battery when it is not in use. You just grab it
and go.
When the dog pulls on the leash, the pressure of the collar
activates a beep, vibration, and optional TENS stimulation
The level of stimulation increases gradually as the dog pulls. The
vibration or stimulation stops immediately when the dog stops
pulling.
As a safety feature, Bravowalk goes into safe mode (no feedback)
after about a 14 second series of beeps, vibrations and TENS
stimulations The light on Bravowalk will flash orange indicating
the need for a manual reset. Simply hold down the button until
the blue light is visible. Hold button down again to select level of
correction.
The BravoWalk is an automatic training collar that trains dogs not to
pull on their leash in just one walk using sound, vibration, and
optional TENS stimulation. It provides a safe and enjoyable ‘on-leash’
experience for you and your dog. It helps correct over-pulling and
helps to reinforce the appropriate leash behavior with your dog.

Press the button once to see the current level of
stimulation. To change the intensity level, hold down the
black button and release it at the color that indicates the
desired level of stimulation.
All four colors provide the beep and vibration as immediate
feedback when the pulling force exceeds the allowable
amount. They vary in degree of TENS stimulation.
Blue indicates the TENS stimulation has been disabled
Green is the lowest TENS stimulation level
Yellow is the medium TENS stimulation level
Red is the highest TENS stimulation level
During feedback, the light flashes green or red regardless of
mode of operation; Color depends on the level of battery charge.
Green means sufficient charge whereas Red indicates low
battery.
Bravowalk battery life has been extensively tested. A charged
Bravowalk lasts up to 500 walks. When not in use, Bravowalk is in
power save mode. Bravowalk does not to be charged unless the
battery indicator light is red. Flashing red means the battery is
dead. To charge BravoWalk , take the included USB cable and
plug one end into Bravowalk and connect other to a USB port and
power source. Charge until light turns green.

OPERATING MODES
BRAVOWALK BATTERY

STIMULATION LEVELS
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. TENS is often
used for chronic pain management in people. Bravowalk uses TENS for
behavior correction. Within each setting on Bravowalk, TENS stimulation
level gradually increases whenever the device detects pulling that exceeds
an allowable amount. The stimulation instantly stops whenever the dog
stops pulling and reverts back to the initial level when activated again.
TENS disabled
Beep, vibrates then continuously, automatically
provides TENS stimulation on an increasing scale of
1-5. Beeps then repeats level 5 TENS, five more times
before it needs to be reset. Total feedback lasts
approximately 14 seconds.
Beep, vibrates then continuously, automatically
provides TENS stimulation on an increasing scale of
6-10. Beeps then repeats level 10 TENS, five more
times before it needs to be reset. Total feedback
lasts approximately 14 seconds.
Beep, vibrates then continuously, automatically provides
TENS stimulation on an increasing scale of 11-15. Beeps
then repeats level 15 TENS, five more times before it needs
to be reset. Total feedback lasts approximately 14
seconds.
Beeps for 1 second, and vibrates for
1 second alternately.

FITTING THE BRAVOWALK
Proper fit is very important. Adjust the collar to fit high on
your dog's neck. Make sure it is snug but not tight; you
should be able to easily fit two fingers under the collar.
If the collar is too tight, the vibration or stimulation may be
triggered even when the dog is not pulling on the leash
If the collar is too loose, the vibration/stimulation may be
inconsistent or the dog may not feel the sensation.
Bravowalk is designed to be 180 degrees or opposite from
the loop that attaches to the leash. This position is critical
for effectiveness with your pet.

BRAVOWALK AND LEASH POSITION

FINDING THE APPROPRIATE
SETTING FOR YOUR DOG
The goal when finding the right setting for your dog is to
use the lowest setting necessary to obtain results. When
you are introducing the BravoWalk collar to your dog, it's
important to pay attention to what their body language is
telling you. Any yelping, cowering, urinating, defecating, or
shaking is a clear sign that the setting is too high and you
should adjust to a lower setting before continuing your
walk.
Each setting (green, yellow, and red) begins with a beep, a
vibrate, and then finishes with an increasing, automatic
TENS stimulation that shuts off after the cycle is complete
(see page 5).
We recommend starting with the Low setting (green) when
you are introducing the BravoWalk collar, but you know
your dog best. If your dog seems unfazed and continues to
pull through the entire setting cycle, pause your walk and
switch the collar to the Mid setting (yellow) before
continuing your walk (Note- it may be helpful to walk with
a second collar or a harness on your dog in case you need
to take the Bravo Walk collar off for setting adjustments).
Similarly, if your dog continues to pull through the entire
cycle of the Mid setting, it may be time to try the High
setting (red).

FINDING THE APPROPRIATE SETTING
FOR YOUR DOG (continued)
If your dog continues to pull through the highest setting of
Bravowalk (Red mode), we strongly suggest you evaluate
positioning of Bravowalk both in placement on the neck,
contact with the dog’s skin (not fur) and potentially
adjusting it to be 180 degrees or directly opposite from the
leash attachment ring. Proper fit is critical for results.
Ultimately the lowest setting that results in the best leash
behavior is ideal.

SAFETY SHUTDOWN AND RESET
Bravowalk programming is visible on page 5. Green, yellow
and Red modes of operation automatically cycle into reset
mode when collar activation exceeds to allowable force
and duration of engagement. When Bravowalk starts to
blink orange, it ceases to provide feedback and needs to
be reset before it will work again.
Power/Mode Button
When light is blinking orange, hold button
down and release when you see the blue
light. Hold button down again and select
mode of operation as determined by color.

Please make sure Bravowalk fits correctly. A collar that
is too tight or too loose will not function as intended.
Remove Collar After Use - we do not recommend
leaving the collar on your dog all the time. BravoWalk is
only intended for walking. Do not use BravoWalk as a
permanent lead attached to a post or in the ground.
BravoWalk is not recommended for aggressive dogs or
those who have erratic and aggressive tendencies. In
these cases, consult a certified trainer or veterinarian
about whether this product is right for your dog.
Do not use BravoWalk while your dog is connected to a
tie-out or any lead attached to a permanent fixture,
such as a post or stake in the ground. BravoWalk is
equipped with a safety feature in the event your dog
gets caught on something.
Your dog should be able to follow basic commands. A
trained dog is the best-behaved dog.
Dogs under 10 pounds are too small to use the
BravoWalk collar.
Please consult your vet before use if you have any
concerns or if your dog has any health problems.
