4 Getting Started

TIP: If the devices did not pair
successfully, you should verify the
batteries in both devices are fully charged
and the intensity level is set to a numbered
position.
Selecting a Dog Collar Device
Before you can select and control a dog
collar device, you must pair the dog collar
device with the handheld device (page 4).
Move the dog collar device toggle
switch to select the color associated
with a dog collar device.
The training keys control the dog collar
device associated with the selected color.
Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
CAUTION
To prevent irritation from the contact
points, remove the collar for at least eight
hours out of every 24-hour period.
This device is not intended for human use.
Do not attempt to use on any person.
Do not spray the device or collar with
harsh chemicals including but not limited
to flea or tick spray. Always ensure that
any flea or tick spray that is applied to the
dog is completely dry before placing the
collar on the dog. Small amounts of harsh
chemicals can damage the plastic
components and collar laminate.
In order to effectively train the dog, the
collar and device must fit the dog properly.
If the collar is too loose or positioned
incorrectly, stimulation may be
inconsistent. This can delay or prevent
successful training.
1Position the device at the front of the
dog's neck, with the status LED facing
toward the dog's chin and the contact
points against the throat.
TIP: For bark correction, the device
contact points should be positioned
near the dog's vocal cords. This
location varies based on the breed of
dog. If the device does not seem to
detect the dog's barks, you should
move the device closer to or farther
from the dog's body to find the ideal
location.
2Tighten the strap so that it is very snug
around the dog's neck, and fasten the
buckle.
NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and
should not be able to rotate or slide on
Getting Started 5

the dog's neck. The dog must be able
to swallow food and water normally.
You should observe your dog's
behavior to verify that the collar is not
too tight.
3Wiggle the device to work the contact
points through the dog's coat.
NOTE: The contact points must have
contact with the dog's skin to be
effective.
4If the strap is too long, cut off the
excess, leaving at least 8 cm (3 in.) to
spare.
TIP: You can mark the hole used to
fasten the buckle for future reference.
Selecting and Installing the Contact
Points
For best results, select the correct contact
points based on your dog's coat.
1Select the correct contact point length
for your dog's coat type:
• For dogs with thicker coats, use
the longer contact points.
• For dogs with shorter coats, use
the shorter contact points.
2If necessary, use the included wrench
to remove the contact points.
3Twist the contact points into the collar.
4Tighten with the included wrench, but
do not overtighten.
When you put the collar on the dog, make
sure the contact points are tight against
the neck.
Dog Training
You should research and investigate the
training methods best suited for you, your
dog, and your needs.
When used properly, the Sport PRO
training system is an effective training tool
to aid your dog in reaching its full potential.
