1Select the correct contact point lengthfor your dog's coat type:• For dogs with thicker coats, usethe longer contact points.• For dogs with shorter coats, usethe shorter contact points.2If necessary, use the included wrenchto remove the contact points.3Twist the contact points into the collar.4Tighten with the included wrench, butdo not overtighten.When you put the collar on the dog, makesure the contact points are tight againstthe neck.Training Intensities and MethodsYou can use several methods to trainyour dog. The Pro 550 system provides 7stimulation intensity levels, which increasesequentially from 1 to 7.Momentary stimulation: Applies a briefstimulation when you press thetraining key, regardless of how longthe key is depressed.Continuous stimulation: Appliesstimulation to the dog the entire timeyou press the training key, for amaximum of 8 seconds. Yourstimulations should typically be muchshorter than 8 seconds.Tone: Activates an audible tone insteadof stimulation. A tone can be used aseither a positive or negative trainingcue, depending on your trainingprogram.Vibration: Applies vibration instead ofstimulation to the dog the entire timeyou press the training key, for amaximum of 8 seconds. Theeffectiveness of vibration may varybased on the dog's temperament andexperience.Training Key FunctionsThe Pro 550 system provides several training modes, which assign differentcombinations of momentary stimulation, continuous stimulation, and tone to the training8
keys. The three vertical letters next to the mode toggle switch correspond to the trainingkey functions, from top to bottom.Key Momentary (M) Accessory (A) Continuous (C)Tone key Tone Accessory (for example,a beeper)ToneTop training key Momentary stimulation(medium)Light on Continuous stimulation(medium)Bottom training key Momentary stimulation(low)Light off Continuous stimulation(low)Both training keys Momentary stimulation(high)Not Applicable Continuous stimulation(high)Choosing the Correct IntensityLevel1Set the intensity to the lowest level(page 10).2Select a training key.3Observe the dog for a reaction, suchas a head shake, neck movement, orjust a change in expression.Sometimes dogs will vocalize due tothe surprise of the electricalstimulation. If the dog vocalizes morethan once, the intensity level is toohigh for beginning training.4If there is no reaction, increase theintensity level by one level until thedog has a slight but recognizablereaction to the stimulation.The intensity level that causes a slight butrecognizable reaction is your dog'sbaseline level for beginning collar training.You do not need to, and should not, applythis intensity selection test again.After you begin training, the dog’sperformance guides your intensityselection. As the dog advances intraining, you may need to change thelevel depending upon the trainingsituation.9
Changing the Intensity LevelYou can select a different intensity levelfor each dog collar device.1Select a dog collar device (page 6).2Adjust the intensity dial to increase ordecrease the intensity level.BarkLimiterWhen the dog collar device is active andproperly fitted on the dog, it detects andcorrects barks automatically. The dogcollar device starts at the lowest intensitylevel and increases the intensity levelgradually until the dog stops barking.When the dog is quiet, the intensitydecreases over time.The status LED flashes briefly when thedog collar device detects motion orcorrects a bark.Green, amber,or red flashMotion was detected, and nocorrection was applied.Blue flash A bark was detected, and acorrection was applied.NOTE: A green, amber, or red flashdenotes how much charge is left in thedog device battery, ranging from high tolow.Enabling the BarkLimiter FeatureOn the dog collar device, hold thepower key until the LED flashes blue.Bark Odometer™When you turn off the device, the LEDflashes red and green to report thenumber of times the device detected abark since it was last turned on.
