During the pairing process, each dog collar device is associated with a different color on the handheld device.Pairing a Dog Collar Device with the Handheld DeviceNOTE: If your handheld device and dog collar device were included in the same package, the devices are paired from the factory.1On the handheld device, move the toggle switch to choose the color associated with the dog collar device.2On the handheld device, set the intensity level to a numbered position.3On the dog collar device, hold the power key for about 5 seconds until the status LED turns yellow.4While the dog collar device status LED is yellow, select a training key on the handheld device.The dog collar device beeps when the devices have paired successfully.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 DeviceBefore you can select and control a dog collar device, you must pair the dog collar device with the handheld device (Pairing a Dog Collar Device with the Handheld Device, page 2).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 CAUTIONTo 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 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 PointsFor best results, select the correct contact points based on your dog's coat.2 Getting Started
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 TrainingYou 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. The use of the training system should be part of an overall training program.Training MethodsMomentary stimulation: Applies a brief stimulation when you press the training key, regardless of how long the key is depressed.Continuous stimulation: Applies stimulation to the dog the entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of 8 seconds. Your stimulations should typically be much shorter than 8 seconds.Tone: Activates an audible tone instead of stimulation. A tone can be used as either a positive or negative training cue, depending on your training program.Vibration: Applies vibration instead of stimulation to the dog the entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of 8 seconds. The effectiveness of vibration may vary based on the dog's temperament and experience.Choosing the Correct Intensity Level1Set the intensity to the lowest level.2Select a training key.3Observe the dog for a reaction, such as a head shake, neck movement, or just a change in expression.Sometimes dogs will vocalize due to the surprise of the electrical stimulation. If the dog vocalizes more than once, the intensity level is too high for beginning training.4If there is no reaction, increase the intensity level by one level until the dog has a slight but recognizable reaction to the stimulation.The intensity level that causes a slight but recognizable reaction is your dog's baseline level for beginning collar training. You do not need to, and should not, apply this intensity selection test again.After you begin training, the dog’s performance guides your intensity selection. As the dog advances in training, you may need to change the level depending upon the training situation.Changing the Intensity LevelYou can select a different intensity level for each dog collar device.1Select a dog collar device (Selecting a Dog Collar Device, page 2).2Adjust the dial to increase or decrease the intensity level.BarkLimiterNOTICEBefore playing with your dog, you should remove the dog collar device or deactivate the BarkLimiter feature.When using the BarkLimiter feature, you should remove all other collars, tags, or other items from your dog. These other items can cause the BarkLimiter feature to activate when the dog is not barking.The BarkLimiter feature can correct your dog automatically when the dog barks. The device detects vibrations to distinguish between barking and other vocalizations. You can use these methods when correcting your dog with the BarkLimiter feature.• Vibration instead of stimulation• Fixed stimulation• An automatic, gradual increase in stimulation intensityAutomatic IntensityThe device can set the stimulation intensity level automatically based on the barking behavior of the dog. The device starts at the lowest intensity level and increases the intensity level gradually until the dog stops barking. When the dog is quiet, the intensity decreases over time.The automatic intensity feature is designed to eliminate excessive nuisance barking. To stop barks more immediately, you should set the intensity level manually.Status LEDThe status LED flashes briefly when the dog collar device detects motion or corrects a bark.Green, yellow, or red flashMotion was detected, and no correction was applied.Blue flash A bark was detected, and a correction was applied.NOTE: A green, yellow, or red flash denotes how much charge is left in the dog device battery, ranging from high to low.Enabling the BarkLimiter Feature from the Handheld DeviceYou can use your handheld device to enable BarkLimiter features. When you enable BarkLimiter mode from the handheld device, you can set the dog collar device to use auto-rise, vibration, or fixed stimulation levels.1Set the operating mode dial to AUX.2Select BARKLIMITER ON.The green LED flashes.3While the green LED is flashing, select an option:• To set vibration, select VIBE.• To set a fixed stimulation level, set the dial to a stimulation level and select CONTINUOUS.• To set auto-rise, select BARKLIMITER ON.A blue LED on the dog collar device indicates that it is in BarkLimiter mode.Turning Off the BarkLimiter Feature from the Handheld DeviceNOTE: If you enabled the BarkLimiter feature from the dog device, you cannot turn it off from the handheld device.1Set the dial to AUX.2Select BARKLIMITER OFF.Overriding the BarkLimiter FeatureNOTE: If you enabled the BarkLimiter feature from the dog collar device, you cannot override it using the handheld device.If you need to apply a quick stimulation when your dog collar device is in BarkLimiter mode, you can override the BarkLimiter feature using the handheld device. You can return to BarkLimiter Dog Training 3
mode by enabling it from the handheld device (Enabling the BarkLimiter Feature from the Handheld Device, page 3).Hold CONTINUOUS, TONE, or VIBE for 4 seconds.The dog collar device returns to training mode.Enabling the Independent BarkLimiter Feature from the Dog Collar DeviceThe dog collar device can operate independently as a bark correction device. You can enable the BarkLimiter feature in auto-rise mode directly from the dog collar device. This provides longer battery life than enabling the BarkLimiter feature from the handheld device.NOTE: When using the device in this mode, the radio signal is disabled and you cannot control the dog collar device with the handheld device.1On the dog collar device, hold the power key until the LED flashes blue.2To return to training mode, turn off the dog collar device and turn it back on in training mode (Turning On the Dog Collar Device, page 2).Bark Odometer™When you turn off the dog collar device in independent BarkLimiter mode, the LED flashes red and green to report the number of times the device detected a bark since it was last turned on. This can help you track your dog's barking behavior.Red flash 10 barksGreen flash 1 barkFor example, one red flash followed by four green flashes indicates the device detected 14 barks.Zero flashes indicates the device detected zero barks.Using the LightYou can use the light feature on your device to verify pairing, help locate your dog, and provide safety for your dog at night.1Select a dog collar device (Selecting a Dog Collar Device, page 2).2Set the dial to AUX.3Select to turn the light on.4Select to turn the light off.Device InformationHandheld Device SpecificationsBattery type Rechargeable lithium-ionBattery life Up to 60 hr. of typical useOperating temperature range From -20° to 60°C (from -4° to 140°F)Charging temperature range From 0° to 40°C (from 32° to 104°F)Storage temperature range (up to 1 mo.)From -20° to 50°C (from -4° to 122°F)Storage temperature range (up to 3 mo.)From -20° to 35°C (from -4° to 95°F)Water rating IEC 60529 IPX7**The device withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 m for up to 30 min.
