They are NOT intended for use on people or on animals other than dogs.
Dogtra does not assume any liability for the improper use of any Dogtra
e-collars.

using an e-collar to correct dogs that are aggressive towards people or
other dogs.

interference with other electronic devices (garage door openers, mobile
phones, etc.). Our digital microprocessor offers thousands of unique
codes to eliminate frequency match-ups with other Dogtra e-collars.
Dogtra recommends consulting your physician if you are going to use
the e-collar near any types of medical devices.

training. A dog learns by first being shown a command, followed by
lots of repetition over an extended period of time. As the dog becomes
proficient at these commands, you can introduce distractions and

of these commands. A leash attached to a standard collar is used to
teach the dog basic obedience commands. A tug on the leash/collar is

these commands, the e-collar can be used to reinforce them further.

is removed as the dog complies. Through repetition, the dog learns to
stop the light stimulation by performing the commands. E-collar training
is another form of negative reinforcement; similar to the leash and

complete, the e-collar is used as a reminder when the dog does not
comply with your commands. Keep the initial training sessions short
and positive. Dogs have a short attention span, especially younger dogs.
How much stimulation to use
The level of stimulation best suited for your dog depends on your dog’s
temperament and threshold for stimulation. Always start at the lowest

3. The transmitter has no range, or the stimulation is weaker when

Heavy brush, trees, hills, buildings, and/or moisture will affect the
