Canine Innovations Pet Convincer Pro User manual

The Pet Convincer Pro User’s Guide
Congratulations! You have purchased the
most comprehensive, pain free, humane and
safe pet training device ever created!
With proper use, your customer’s pet
(dog/cat) will quickly learn what behaviors
are off limits.
As with any tool, the Pet Convincer Pro is
most effective when used correctly. Please
take a moment to read through this user’s
guide so that you and your customer’s pet
can get on the road to an enjoyable
relationship!
The Device.
There are three (3) major components to the
Pet Convincer Pro:
1. Head – trigger, nozzle, lock
2. Grip (also reusable Cartridge
insulator)
3. Cartridge (CO2; inside the Grip)
Getting Started:
IMPORTANT: You should get acquainted
with the Pet Convincer Pro BEFORE you
attempt to use it. Make sure that these
procedures are accomplished away from all
pets and children. Do not let children use
the Pet Convincer Pro. It is not a toy!
Loading the Device:
Threaded CO2 Cartridge: Grasp the Head
of the device with one hand and the CO2
Cartridge with the other.
a) Without depressing the trigger lever,
screw the bare Cartridge slowly into the
treads in the Head until the Cartridge begins
to contact the puncture pin.
b) Quickly continue screwing in the
Cartridge until hand tight (cannot be
turned/screwed in anymore by hand,
without excessively over tightening.
Also see NOTE below.) This
punctures (activates) and seals the
CO2 Cartridge to the Head. Place
the Grip over the Cartridge. You are
now ready to start “convincing” pets.
(See images a & b)
NOTE: You may hear a little “puff” as the
Cartridge is screwed on. No unwanted,
escaping CO2 leakage/hissing air occurs if
the Cartridge seals correctly to the Head.
Only when the Cartridge is empty, unscrew
the empty Cartridge, slip off the reusable
Grip/insulator and please recycle the steel
cylinder as locally appropriate. Retain the
Grip for use with a new Cartridge.
c) Safety Lock Feature: Using your
thumb, move the red safety lever lock to the
“up” position to lock the trigger lever.
Moving the red safety lever lock to the
“down “position unlocks the front CO2
trigger lever and ONLY then allows CO2 to
be dispensed by the Pet Convincer Pro.

Safety First:
The Pet Convincer Pro is very safe and
effective, when used correctly by an adult.
You should always:
Store your Pet Convincer Pro at
normal ambient room temperature.
Visually inspect the device for damage
before using after being dropped.
You should never:
Use the Pet Convincer Pro at a
distance closer than 8 inches
(minimum distance).
Point the Pet Convincer Pro towards
the face, eyes, or rectum of any
animal.
Use the Pet Convincer Pro for any
purpose other than those specified in
these user guide instructions.
Testing the Device:
This should be done away from all pets.
Point the device away from your face and pull
the trigger in a quick, short burst.
Once you are comfortable with the trigger
mechanism, you may want to try the device on
your hand at the minimum distance of 8
inches.
Each Cartridge will emit 60-75 bursts,
depending on how long you depress the
trigger. Short (~ one second) air bursts (blasts)
are recommended to control a pet’s behavior
with the Pet Convincer Pro.
Why it Works:
The Pet Convincer Pro interrupts and
discourages unwanted behavior.
This device is so effective that many times
only a single application is needed to “cure” a
problem behavior.
Using the device correctly is critical for
success, so please read the following
instructions carefully before using the Pet
Convincer Pro with a pet in your care.
Using the Device:
Now that you are familiar with the function
and feel of the Pet Convincer Pro, you are
ready to use it to interrupt and discourage
unwanted behavior of a pet.
When you see a pet exhibiting unwanted
behavior, give the pet/dog a verbal warning
such as growling the word “WRONG” or
making a sound like “AARRHHH”.
Immediately after giving the verbal warning,
spray the Pet Convincer Pro just under, at the
pet’s shoulder blade or next to the pet (never
in their face/eyes/rectum) at a minimum safe
distance of 8 inches or more.
The pet/dog will startle and you should stay
still and say nothing to the pet for a moment or
two.
Then call the pet/dog away from the area and
reassure him/her that leaving the scene was
the right thing to do.
You should never yell at or verbally correct a
pet/dog after activating the Pet Convincer Pro.
Once the pet has stopped the unwanted
behavior, you should praise his/her
compliance.
It is as important to praise the good behavior
as it is to correct the unwanted behavior. You
are teaching the pet how you would like
him/her to behave, so be supportive and
reward their good behavior.
Enjoy using your Pet Convincer Pro to control
your customer’s unrulely, misbehaving pets!

Pet Convincer Pro Options:
1) Hi-output Nozzle Attachment. This
attachment is used in place of the original,
standard nozzle supplied with the Pet Convincer
Pro to provide additional air blasting power of
CO2. This increases the force of the burst by
approximately a factor of two. It is useful for
controlling the behavior of stubborn pets. This
also reduces the number of bursts available from
the Cartridge to approximately half of the bursts
with standard nozzle usage.While holding the
Pet Convincer Pro in one hand, unscrew the
small silver-colored nozzle extension with the
other hand by twisting counter-clockwise until it
is removed. Store this original nozzle in a safe
place for later use. In a clockwise fashion,
screw on the longer hi-output nozzle until
snug/finger tight. It is now ready to use.
2) Mystical Acoustic Head/Horn Attachment:
This attachment is placed over the originally
supplied, standard nozzle only. While firmly
holding the Pet Convincer Pro device in one
hand and the horn in the other, it is pushed on
until snug/cannot be pushed on further by hand
and/or the front edge of the small horn inlet is
in-line with the front edge of the second knurled
band. This step is very important to avoid
having the horn accidently fly off of the nozzle
and become an unwanted projectile. This horn
is recommended for outside use only because it
emits/creates a loud (>110 db) blast of noise that
should not be used unnecessarily or near
human/animal ears. The horn is useful for dog
recall and for getting the pet’s attention from
distances up to ½ mile away. Operate at arm’s
length away from the operator, pointing/rotating
the horn in the general direction of desired use,
creating one short blast or a series of short blasts
in the same manner as you would operate the Pet
Convincer Pro to produce air bursts with the
nozzle only attached. To remove the horn, while
holding the Pet Convincer Pro with one hand,
simply pull the horn off of the nozzle tip with
the other hand. Store the horn in a safe place
until its need arises again.
