OVERVIEW
training collars give you the
ability to communicate with your dog in a
timely manner even when the dog is at a
distance from you. This makes it much easier
for the dog to learn its lessons because late
corrections are very confusing to the dog.
remote collars offer three
different kinds of stimulation:
Pressing the “Nick” button causes a very
short single pulse of electrical stimulation. It
automatically shuts off in a fraction of a
second, no matter how long the button is held
down.
The “Nick” is used as a substitute for leash
corrections when the dog is off lead.
It is mild but motivating!

MAIN FEATURES
Pressing the “Constant” button causes the
collar to emit electrical stimulation that stays
on for up to twelve seconds as long as the
button is held down. “Constant” stimulation is
used for low level applications for guiding
dogs into the desired behavior or as a reserve
high to stop unsafe behaviors such as chasing
animals or cars.
Pressing the Pager button causes the
dog s collar to vibrate like a phone pager. It
allows you to train with a non-electrical type
stimulation. It’s a great attention getter.

SAFETY
collars use state-of-the-art micro-
computer technology. Both the transmitter and
receiver have an automatic control which
limits the stimulus to twelve seconds when
used in the “Constant” mode. The nick mode
gives the dog a momentary burst of
stimulation. A filtering system prevents
reception from sources other than your
transmitter.

BUTTON FUNCTION
“Nick” Button

receiver emits an extremely short pulse of
electrical stimulation that automatically shuts off
no matter how long you leave your finger on the
button. The “Nick” is mild but motivating!

stimulation for up to twelve seconds, at which
time, the collar will turn off. The collar will

finesse.
