placing the collar on the dog. Small amounts of harsh chemicals

can damage the plastic components and collar laminate.

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.

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.

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.

Wiggle the device to work the contact points through the

dog's coat.

NOTE: The contact points must have contact with the dog's

skin to be effective.

If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least 8

cm (3 in.) to spare.

TIP: You can mark the hole used to fasten the buckle for

future reference.

Communication with the Collar

You should keep an unobstructed line of sight between your

handheld device and the dog collar device to produce the best

communication signal. To achieve the best line-of-sight

conditions, you should move to the highest elevation point in

your area (for example, on the top of a hill).

Dog Training

You should research and investigate the training methods best

suited for you, your dog, and your needs.

When used properly, the Pro 550 Plus 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.

Dog Training

MURS Radio Interference

If your handheld device experiences interference from another

transmitter, the LED flashes yellow when you press a training

key.

TIP: If you often experience interference, re-pairing a dog collar

device to the color it is already assigned to may resolve the

problem. Re-pairing changes the frequency used by the

handheld device to communicate with the dog collar device.

Selecting and Installing the Contact Points

For best results, select the correct contact points based on your

dog's coat.

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.

If necessary, use the included wrench to remove the contact

points.

Twist the contact points into the collar.

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.

Removing the Contact Points

When you are not training the dog using the training keys,

remove the contact points.

Use the included wrench to remove both contact points.

Place the cap over the contact point holes.

Training Methods

Momentary stimulation: Applies a brief stimulation when you

press the training key, regardless of how long the key is

depressed.

Continuous stimulation: Applies stimulation to the dog the

entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of 10

seconds. Your stimulations should typically be much shorter

than 10 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.

Vibration: Applies vibration instead of stimulation to the dog the

entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of 10

seconds. The effectiveness of vibration may vary based on

the dog's temperament and experience.

Intensity Levels

The Pro 550 Plus system provides 6 stimulation intensity levels,

which increase sequentially from 1 to 6. Within each intensity

level, you can select low, medium, and high stimulation using

the training keys

Select a training key.

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.

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
