Important Safety InformationExplanation of Attention Words and Symbols used in this guide

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

WARNING WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in harm to your pet.

WARNING Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this Product if your dog is aggressive, or if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs

can cause severe injury and even death to their owner and others. If you are unsure whether this product is appropriate for your dog, please consult your veterinarian or certified trainer.

Use only as directed. • May explode if heated, do not heat. Do not expose to temperatures over 113°F or 45°C. • Do not burn. Do not dispose of in fire, even when empty.• Keep out of direct sunlight. • Do not leave the aerosol can in a vehicle where temperature could exceed 113°F or 45°C. • Store in a cool location. • Keep away from sparks or flame. Do not smoke while refilling.• Do not puncture. Contact of liquid propellant with skin may cause frostbite. • Do not ingest. In case of accident, seek medical care.

Never leave the unit in a car where the device can heat up to high temperatures 113°F or 45°C.

The PetSafe® Remote Spray Trainer is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children. Use it only for its pet training purpose.


CAUTION Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on

the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar.• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.• Wash the dog’s neck area weekly with a damp cloth.• Examine the neck area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. You may find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the neck area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.

The PetSafe® Remote Spray Trainer must be used only on healthy dogs. We recommend that you take your dog to a veterinarian before using the collar if he is not in good health.
