Setup

1. Charging the Devices

Before first use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the receiver collar. Connect the USB-C charging cable to the charging ports on both devices and plug it into a standard USB power adapter (not included). The LED indicator on the receiver will turn solid red during charging and turn green when fully charged. The remote's display will show a charging icon. A full charge takes approximately 2 hours.

2. Attaching Contact Points (Optional for Static Mode)

If you intend to use the static correction mode, screw the appropriate length of contact points onto the receiver. Use shorter points for dogs with short coats and longer points for dogs with thicker coats. For vibration or beep-only training, you can attach the silicone conductive caps over the contact points or remove the contact points entirely to prevent accidental static correction.

3. Pairing the Remote and Receiver

The devices are usually pre-paired from the factory. If pairing is needed:

1. Turn on the receiver collar by pressing and holding its power button until the LED flashes.
2. Press and hold the power button on the receiver collar again for 3 seconds until the LED flashes rapidly.
3. Within 10 seconds, press the Activation Button on the remote transmitter.
4. The receiver's LED will stop flashing rapidly, indicating successful pairing.

4. Fitting the Collar

Proper fit is crucial for effective and safe operation. The collar should be placed high on your dog's neck, just below the ears. The contact points must have direct contact with your dog's skin. You should be able to fit two fingers snugly between the collar strap and your dog's neck. A loose fit will reduce the effectiveness of the static correction and may cause skin irritation due to rubbing.

Operating Instructions

Training Modes

The PAWPRO training collar offers three distinct training modes:

• Beep Mode: Delivers an audible tone. Ideal for initial training and gaining your dog's attention.
• Vibration Mode: Provides a gentle vibration. Useful for reinforcing commands or as a warning before static correction.
• Static Correction Mode: Delivers a mild static pulse. This mode has 16 adjustable levels. Start at the lowest level and increase only if necessary to find the minimum effective level for your dog. This mode is optional and can be avoided if other modes are sufficient.

Using the Remote Control

1. Turn On/Off: Press and hold the power button on both the remote and receiver to turn them on or off.
2. Select Mode: Press the Mode button on the remote to cycle through Beep, Vibration, and Static modes. The selected mode will be displayed on the LCD screen.
3. Adjust Static Level: If in Static mode, use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the intensity level from 1 to 16.
4. Deliver Correction: Press the Activation Button to deliver the selected correction.
5. Switch Channels (for multiple dogs): If you have a second PAWPRO collar, use the Channel button to switch between controlling Dog 1 and Dog 2.

Training Tips

• Always start with positive reinforcement and basic obedience commands before introducing the collar.
• Introduce the collar gradually. Let your dog wear it for short periods without activation so they associate it with normal wear, not punishment.
• Use the collar to interrupt unwanted behaviors, not to punish. The timing of the correction is critical.
• Always pair a correction with a verbal command. For example, if your dog barks excessively, say "Quiet" and then activate the beep or vibration.
• Keep training sessions short, positive, and consistent.
• The included clicker/whistle can be used for positive reinforcement training, marking desired behaviors.

Range and Waterproofing

The PAWPRO training collar offers a remote control range of up to 500 meters (approximately 1640 feet), allowing for effective training in various environments. The receiver collar is IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for dogs who enjoy swimming or training in wet conditions. However, it is recommended to remove the collar before prolonged water activities to ensure longevity.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the receiver collar and contact points with a damp cloth. Ensure no dirt or debris accumulates around the contact points, as this can affect performance and cause skin irritation.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the devices frequently. Recharge them when the battery indicator is low. If storing for an extended period, charge them to about 50% every few months.
• Storage: Store the collar and remote in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
