Timing: For spray training to work properly, timing is very important. You should use the tone, vibration or
spray stimulation immediately (within 2 seconds) of an undesirable behaviour. This will help your dog make
the association between the undesirable behaviour and the stimulation that works best for you and your dog.
Eliminate one misbehaviour or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast
with training, your pet may become confused.
• Be consistent. Give your pet a tone, vibration or spray stimulation with each misbehaviour.
• Do not over-stimulate your pet. Use as few sprays as possible to train your pet.
• Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in which he has
a history of misbehaving. However, recreating a problem situation as a training session can dramatically
improve your chances of success.
• If your pet reacts to the tone by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate
behaviour, such as the "sit" command.
• Only let responsible family members use the trainer. It is not a toy.
• Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tone. Therefore, training sessions should be
conducted out of hearing range of other pets.
Never use the training collar to stimulate or eliminate any form of aggressive behaviour. If you are unsure if
your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.

Probably not. He may need to wear the training collar from time to time
for reinforcement.
