2. Important Safety Information
The PAWPRO Series: Ultimate Dog Training Collar is a training tool, not a punishment device. Proper and humane use is essential. Misuse can lead to physical or psychological harm to your dog. Always prioritize your dog's well-being.
- Age and Health: Do not use this collar on puppies younger than 6 months old. Ensure your dog is healthy and free from skin conditions or heart problems before use. Consult a veterinarian if unsure.
- Collar Fit: The collar must fit snugly but not too tightly. It should be high on the dog's neck, just below the ears. Ensure the contact points touch the skin. Regularly check for pressure sores or irritation.
- Duration of Wear: Do not leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 consecutive hours. Prolonged wear can cause skin irritation.
- Supervision: Always supervise your dog when the collar is in use.
- Static Shock Mode: Use static shock mode only after exhausting beep and vibration modes. Start at the lowest level and gradually increase until your dog responds. This mode should be used as a deterrent, not for punishment.
- Avoid Over-Correction: Excessive use of any mode can cause stress or fear in your dog. Use corrections sparingly and consistently.
- Children: Keep the remote control out of reach of children.

5. Setup
5.1 Charging the Devices
Before initial use, fully charge both the remote control and the receiver collar. Use the provided 2-in-1 charging cable. A full charge typically takes 2 hours.
- Connect the charging cable to a USB power adapter (not included).
- Plug the two micro-USB ends into the charging ports on the remote and receiver.
- The indicator lights will show charging status (refer to device for specific light behavior).
5.2 Attaching Contact Points and Silicone Caps
Select the appropriate contact points (short for short-haired dogs, long for long-haired dogs) to ensure proper skin contact. For added comfort and to prevent irritation, place the conductive silicone caps over the contact points.
5.3 Fitting the Receiver Collar
Proper fit is crucial for effectiveness and safety.
- Place the receiver collar high on your dog's neck, just below the ears.
- Adjust the strap so it is snug. You should be able to fit one finger comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck.
- Ensure the contact points make direct contact with your dog's skin. If your dog has thick fur, you may need to trim a small area or use the longer contact points.
5.4 Pairing (If Necessary)
The remote and receiver are typically pre-paired from the factory. If re-pairing is needed:
- Turn on the remote control.
- With the receiver collar off, press and hold the power button on the receiver until the indicator light flashes rapidly.
- Within 10 seconds, press any mode button (Beep, Vibration, or Static Shock) on the remote.
- The receiver light will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.

Effective training requires consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. The included training guide provides detailed techniques. Here are general principles:
- Start with Basic Obedience: Ensure your dog understands basic commands before introducing the collar.

- Timing is Key: Deliver corrections immediately as the unwanted behavior occurs.
- Positive Reinforcement: Reward desired behaviors with praise, treats, or toys.
