The device includes a built-in LED flashlight for enhanced safety during night walks and a safety lock to prevent accidental activation.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Understanding the Modes

The device offers 6 training modes, combining ultrasonic frequencies, an audible beep, and an LED flashlight:

• 4 Ultrasonic Modes: These modes emit high-frequency sounds to deter unwanted behaviors. Different modes may use fixed or variable frequencies (25kHz or 20-30kHz) to prevent dogs from becoming accustomed to a single sound.
• Audible Beep Mode: Emits a sound audible to humans, which can be used as a training cue or deterrent for some dogs.
• LED Flashlight Mode: Can be used independently for illumination or in conjunction with ultrasonic modes for visual distraction.

The device offers six distinct training modes, including ultrasonic deterrence, audible reminders, and a flashlight for night use, supporting comprehensive dog behavior correction.

5.2 General Usage

1. Identify Behavior: When your dog exhibits unwanted behavior (e.g., excessive barking, jumping, biting).
2. Activate and Point: Aim the device directly at the dog from a distance of up to 23 feet. Press the appropriate button for the desired mode (ultrasonic, audible, or combined).
3. Reinforce: As soon as the dog stops the unwanted behavior, release the button. Issue a command (e.g., "Quiet," "No") and immediately reward the dog with praise or a treat.

A visual guide to using the device for behavior correction: identify unwanted behavior, activate the device while pointing, and reward the dog when the behavior stops.

5.3 Effective Range and Direction

The device has an effective range of up to 23 feet. For best results, aim the device directly at the dog. The effectiveness is generally higher in quiet environments where there is less ambient noise to interfere with the ultrasonic sound.

This image illustrates the device's triple ultrasonic emitters, providing enhanced coverage and faster response for effective bark deterrence.

The device utilizes dual ultrasonic frequencies to safely and effectively deter unwanted dog behaviors, suitable for various breeds.

6. Maintenance

• To clean the device, wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
• Do not wash the device or immerse it in water.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting

• Device not turning on: Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a power source using the Type-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power it on again.
• Device not effective:
  • Ensure the device is aimed directly at the dog.
  • Try alternating between the different ultrasonic modes, as some dogs may respond better to specific frequencies.
  • Confirm the dog does not have hearing impairments. The device is less effective or ineffective for dogs with reduced hearing.
  • Ensure the environment is relatively quiet to maximize the impact of the ultrasonic sound.
  • Consistency in training is key. Use the device consistently with verbal commands and positive reinforcement.
• Accidental activation: Utilize the safety lock feature when the device is not in active use to prevent unintended activation.
