How it Works
The PetSafe®Remote Spray Trainer can easily help improve the communication between you and your dog. At
the push of a button the remote sends a signal to your dog’s collar. With three training options - tone, vibration
and spray stimulation - you can ensure you will have a well-trained dog in a short amount of time.
The trainer can be used for off-leash walks within a range of up to 300 yards. The remote includes and easy-
to-read digital display, and the training collar is lightweight, rechargeable and water-resistant.
The collar uses replaceable and recyclable spray refill cartridges that provide approximately 35 sprays
per use. They are safe and easy to use. One Citronella and one Unscented refill are included. For more
information, go to www.petsafe.com.
Charge the Training Collar
Excessive charging can shorten battery life. Only charge
your remote or collar when the batteries are low.
1. Lift the rubber cover protecting the remote training collar
charging jack.
2. Connect the charger to the charging jack (1A).
3. Plug the charger into a USB port or if you have an adaptor, plug
into a standard wall outlet.
4. When fully charged, the green LED on the collar will turn off.
5. When the collar is fully charged, replace the rubber cover.
To Turn the Training Collar On
Press and hold the on/off button until the collar beeps low to high,
and then release (1B). The green LED will be illuminated during the
button press.
To Turn the Training Collar Off
Press and hold the on/off button until the collar beeps high to low, and
then release. The red LED will be illuminated during the button press and
will turn off when the collar turns off.
Battery Life
Average battery life is 40 hours, depending on use. However, due to greater use during your dog’s training,
the first week may not last as long.
Quick Tip: When you’re not using the collar, you’ll want to turn it off to increase the battery life. When
storing for long periods, recharge every 4 to 6 weeks.

Fit the Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of the training
collar is important for effective operation. The collar
should have direct contact with your dog’s skin on the
underside of his neck.
1. Be sure the collar is turned off before placing it on your pet. Then
with your pet standing (4A), fit the collar snugly onto your pet’s
neck so that the collar makes contact with your pet’s skin on the
underside of his neck. Make sure the PetSafe®logo is right-side
up (4B).
2. Check the tightness of the collar by inserting one finger between
the collar and your pet’s neck (4C). The fit should be snug but
not constricting.
3. Allow your pet to wear the collar for a few minutes, then check
it again.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the collar. Never shave
your pet’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
4. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the collar, remove it from your
pet and trim it, but make sure to allow room for growth or a thicker
winter coat. Use a lighter to seal the cut so that it will not fray.
5. The collar will slip if it is not properly threaded onto the strap. The
slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around your
pet’s neck; the ridges must be facing up (4D).
The collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-
hour period. Leaving the collar on too long could lead to skin irritation.
NOTE: The collar is water resistant. It should not be submerged. Please
remove the collar from the dog before bathing, swimming or any other
activities that the collar could be submerged under water.

Re-pairing the Collar or Pairing a Second Collar
If your training collar does not respond when a button is pressed, or if you get a second collar, follow these steps:
1. Use the Dog 1/2 button on the remote to select either Dog 1 or Dog 2. With the remote turned on and the
collar turned off, press and hold the on/off button on the collar.
2. After about 5 seconds the LED on the collar will turn off indicating that it is ready for pairing. Press either of
the top 2 stimulation buttons. The green LED will blink 5 times to indicate successful pairing.
NOTE: If you wish to add another training collar to the system, the Add-A-Dog®collar is available from
www.petsafe.com or through our Customer Care Center: PAC00-16736.
Ensure a Proper Spray Pattern
For the PetSafe®Remote Spray Trainer collar to perform properly, the
nozzle must be positioned correctly and there must be a clear path from
the spray nozzle to your dog’s snout. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the PetSafe®logo on the front of the collar is upright and
the spray nozzle is angled out and pointing up towards the dog’s
snout (5A).
2. For long-haired dogs, it may be necessary to trim the neck hairs
along the path of the spray. It is important that the spray reaches the
dog’s snout to be effective.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation.
Find the Best Stimulation for Your Pet
The PetSafe®Remote Spray Trainer has 1 tone, 1 vibration, and 1 level of spray stimulation. This allows you to
choose the stimulation that is best for your pet. We recommend training with tone and vibration before moving to
spray. Please visit www.petsafe.com for additional training information and videos.
Be Consistent and Responsible: Use the Remote Trainer every time your dog misbehaves. Only let
responsible family members use the Remote Trainer. It is not a toy.
Training Tips
If you’re attempting to teach your dog a behavior, make sure your dog understands what you want before
introducing spray stimulation. You can do this using your dog’s favorite treats. If your dog looks nervous, scared
or confused after spray stimulation, pause using spray stimulation and revisit treat training to ensure your dog
understands the cue.
When Training Begins: Only begin using the training collar on dogs that are at least 6 months and that
weigh at least 8 lb. You can begin basic obedience training without the training collar as soon as you bring
your puppy home.
Collar Conditioning: You don’t want your dog to only associate wearing the training collar with being
corrected. While your dog is wearing the collar, make sure to spend ample time playing and letting your dog
be a dog to help create some positive associations with the collar.

Timing: For spray training to work properly, timing is very important. You should use the tone, vibration or
spray stimulation immediately (within 2 seconds) of an undesirable behavior. This will help your dog make the
association between the undesirable behavior and the stimulation that works best for you and your dog.
Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast
with training, your pet may become confused.
• Be consistent. Give your pet a tone, vibration or spray stimulation with each misbehavior.
• Do not over-correct your pet. Use as few sprays as possible to train your pet.
• Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in which he has
a history of misbehaving. However, recreating a problem situation as a training session can dramatically
improve your chances of success.
• If your pet reacts to the tone by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate
behavior, such as the “sit” command.
• Only let responsible family members use the trainer. It is not a toy.
• Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tone. Therefore, training sessions should be
conducted out of hearing range of other pets.
Never use the training collar to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. If you are unsure if
your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How old does a pet have
to be before using the
Remote Spray Trainer?
Your pet should be able to learn basic obedience commands such as “Sit”
or “Stay” and be at least 6 months old before using the trainer. The training
collar may be too large for dogs under 8 lbs.
Once my pet is trained
and has been obeying my
commands, will he have
to continue to wear the
training collar?
Probably not. He may need to wear the training collar from time to time
for reinforcement.
Does the spray need to hit
my dog’s nose?
No. The spray is very fine and simply creates a mist in the region of
the snout.
