They are NOT intended for use on people or on animals other than dogs.

Dogtra does not assume any liability for the improper use of any Dogtra

e-collars.

Aggressive Behavior

Dogtra highly recommends consulting a dog training professional when

using an e-collar to correct dogs that are aggressive towards people or

other dogs.

Electronic Interference

'RJWUD¶VLQGXVWU\OHDGLQJWHFKQRORJ\¿OWHULQJV\VWHPHQVXUHVPLQLPDO

interference with other electronic devices (garage door openers, mobile

phones, etc.). Our digital microprocessor offers thousands of unique

codes to eliminate frequency match-ups with other Dogtra e-collars.

Dogtra recommends consulting your physician if you are going to use

the e-collar near any types of medical devices.

Safety Cut-off

The constant stimulation will only activate for a maximum of 12

seconds.After 12 seconds of continuous stimulation, the stimulation will

reset. The stimulation reactivates once the constant button is released

and pressed again.

stimulation. Closely monitor your dog’s reaction to find the right

stimulation level. The stimulation level may vary depending on the
