Pull the collar strap until it is tight across the front of the
device.
Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
To prevent irritation from the contact points, remove the collar
for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour period.
This device is not intended for human use. Do not attempt to
use on any person.
Do not spray the device or collar with harsh chemicals including
but not limited to flea or tick spray. Always ensure that any flea
or tick spray that is applied to the dog is completely dry before
placing the collar on the dog. Small amounts of harsh chemicals
can damage the plastic components and collar laminate.
In order to effectively train the dog, the collar and device must fit
the dog properly. If the collar is too loose or positioned
incorrectly, stimulation may be inconsistent. This can delay or
prevent successful training.
1
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.
TIP: For bark correction, the device contact points should be
positioned near the dog's vocal cords. This location varies
based on the breed of dog. If the device does not seem to
detect the dog's barks, you should move the device closer to
or farther from the dog's body to find the ideal location.
2
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 that the collar is not too tight.
3
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.

through the collar band.
CAUTION
4
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.
Selecting and Installing the Contact Points
For best results, you should install contact points based on your
dog's coat.
1
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.
2
Twist the contact points into the collar until tight.
When you put the collar on the dog, make sure the contact
points are tight against the neck.
Training Methods
Stimulation: Applies a brief stimulation when the dog enters the
boundary, for a maximum of 8 seconds. You can adjust the
stimulation intensity level in the Garmin Canine
Canine App, page
6).
TIP: You can also adjust stimulation intensity levels from the
base unit
(Setting the Intensity Level Using the Base Unit,
page
3).
NOTE: If your dog breaches the boundary, the dog collar
device applies stimulation for up to 1 minute and then stops
to allow for a safe return.
Tone: Activates an audible tone. A tone can be used as either a
positive or negative training cue, depending on your training
program.
Vibration: Applies vibration to the dog the entire time the dog is
at the boundary, for a maximum of 8 seconds. The
effectiveness of vibration may vary based on the dog's
temperament and experience.
NOTE: If your dog breaches the boundary, the dog collar
device applies vibration for up to 1 minute and then stops to
allow for a safe return.
Setting the Intensity Level Using the Base Unit
1
On the base unit, select a dog.
2
Select Stimulation.
3
Select an intensity level appropriate for the training phase
and your dog.
Choosing the Correct Intensity Level
1
Set the intensity to the lowest level
Level Using the Base Unit, page
2
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.
3
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
not need to, and should not, apply this intensity selection test
again.
After you begin training, the dog's performance guides your
intensity selection. As the dog advances in training, you may
need to change the level depending upon the training situation.
