SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Your YS500 is a valuable training aid when
used correctly. Please read the information on
operating the Anti-bark collar before putting it
on your dog.
To prevent skin irritation, the collar should not
be worn more than eight hours at a time.
Also, it is best to move the location of the
contact points every few hours. To do this, take
the collar off and then put it back on so that the
contact points are in a different location on the
neck.
If skin irritation is found, wash the area and
rinse with hydrogen peroxide. Apply an
antibiotic ointment. Temporarily discontinue
using the collar until the skin has healed.
Use the right length of contact points. The
collar comes installed with contact points that
are best for the majority of dogs.
Proper collar strap tightness is extremely
important. If the collar is too loose, it will not
function properly and it may rub as the dog
moves, causing irritation.
