Dog Training
You should research and investigate the training methods best
suited for you, your dog, and your needs.
When used properly, the Pro Trashbreaker 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.
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.
In order to properly correct the dog, the collar and device must
fit the dog properly. If the collar is too loose or positioned
incorrectly, corrections may be inconsistent. This can delay or
prevent successful training.
1
Place the collar around the middle of the dog's neck.
2
Position 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.
3
Tighten 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 the collar is not too tight.
