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 ( Pairing a

Dog Collar Device with the Handheld Device ).

Select the color:

• To select the button color, move the dog collar device toggle switch up.

• To select the outer ring color, move the toggle switch down.

The training keys control the dog collar device associated with the selected color.

2 Plug the power cable into a power source.

The status LED is solid red when the collar is charging.

3 After the status LED turns solid green, remove the charging clip from the collar.

Turning On the Dog Collar Device

• On the dog collar device, hold the power key until the status

LED turns green and the collar beeps to turn it on in training mode.

• On the dog collar device, hold the power key until the status

LED turns blue to turn on the BarkLimiter™ feature

( BarkLimiter ).

• On the dog collar device, hold the power key until the status

LED turns yellow to enter pairing mode (

Pairing a Dog Collar

Device with the Handheld Device

).

Turning Off the Device

1 On the dog collar device, hold the power key until the red

LED appears.

2 Release the power key.

The dog collar device beeps to confirm powering off.

NOTE: If the device is powered off in BarkLimiter mode, the

LED flashes the number of corrected barks before powering

off ( Checking the Bark Odometer

).

Dog Collar Device

You can use up to 6 dog collar devices with a single handheld device.

Each dog collar device must be paired with the handheld device before it can be used. 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 Device

NOTE: If your handheld device and dog collar device were included in the same package, the devices are paired from the factory.

1 On the handheld device, move the toggle switch and select a key to choose the color associated with the dog collar device.

2 On the handheld device, set the intensity level to a

numbered position ( Changing the Intensity Level ).

3 On the dog collar device, hold the power key for about 5 seconds until the status LED changes to yellow.

4 On the handheld device, select a training key.

The dog collar device beeps when the devices have paired successfully. If the device does not beep, pairing has not been successful.

Dog Training

You should research and investigate the training methods best suited for you, your dog, and your needs.

When used properly, the Pro 70 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.

4 Wiggle the device to work the contact points through the dog's coat.

Dog Training

NOTE: The contact points must have contact with the dog's skin to be effective.

5 If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least

3 in. (8 cm) to spare.

6 Mark the hole used to fasten the buckle for future reference

(optional).

Selecting and Installing the Contact Points

For best results, select the correct contact points based on your dog's coat.

1 Select 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.

2 If necessary, use the included wrench to remove the contact points.

3 Twist the contact points into the collar.

4 Tighten 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.

Training Intensities and Methods

You can use several methods to train your dog. The Pro 70 system provides 6 stimulation intensity levels, which increase sequentially from 1 to 6.

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.

Choosing the Correct Intensity Level

1

Set the intensity to the lowest level ( Changing the Intensity

Level

).

2 Select a training key.

3 Observe 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.

4 If 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 Level

You can select a different intensity level for each dog collar device.

1

Select a dog collar device ( Selecting a Dog Collar Device

).

2 Adjust the intensity dial to increase or decrease the intensity level.

BarkLimiter

When the dog collar device is active and properly fitted on the dog, it detects and corrects barks automatically. The dog collar device starts at the lowest intensity level and increases the

Device Information intensity level gradually until the dog stops barking. When the dog is quiet, the intensity decreases over time.

The status LED flashes briefly when the dog collar device detects motion or corrects a bark.

Green, amber, or red flash

Blue flash

Motion was detected, and no correction was applied.

A bark was detected, and a correction was applied.

NOTE: A green, amber, or red flash denotes how much charge is left in the dog device battery, ranging from high to low.

Enabling the BarkLimiter Feature

On the dog collar device, hold the power key until the LED flashes blue.

Bark Odometer™

When you turn off the device, 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

Green flash

10 barks

1 bark

For example, one red flash followed by four green flashes indicates the device detected 14 barks.

Zero flashes indicates the device detected zero barks.

Checking the Bark Odometer

1 Remove the device from the dog.

2 Position the device so that you can see the status LED.

3 Hold the power key until the status LED turns red, and release.

4 Count the red and green flashes.

Using the Light

You can use the light feature on your device to verify pairing, help locate your dog, and provide safety for your dog at night.

1

Select a dog collar device ( Selecting a Dog Collar Device ).

2 Rotate the intensity dial to L.

3 Select the training key.
