Dear Pet Parent!
Thank you for purchasing AbbiDot.
Here at Abbi, we are happy if you and your pet are happy. We know that
nurturing a lasng bond with a pet takes paence, commitment and just a
lile bit of help. This is why we dedicate all of our me and creave
resources to making pet care accessories that are smart and simple.
Our products are not meant to replace the training process — they are
here to aid it. They should never be used as punishment, overused or
treated as an one-fit-all soluon. They are the most effecve at the very
start of the training process and when showing your pet the danger of
certain behaviors: like crossing the road or picking up food on the street.
We strongly recommend focusing on reward training and making posive
reinforcement the base of your training roune. Your pet’s safety and
well-being should always stay a priority throughout this experience.
We know that any training process is a two-way street. We learn just as
much from our pets as they do from us. Help us make our products beer
by sharing your training success stories with us.
AbbiDot Team
Yours

Test Light Instructions
1. Make sure the collar is off your dog.
2. Turn on the collar.
3. Hold the test light’s contacts against the contact
points of the collar.
4. Press the Smulaon Buon — the test light tool will
light up. Its brightness will increase or decrease
depending on the level of smulaon you are using.
How LED light works?
Do not shave your pets neck as this may increase
the risk of skin irritaon. Your dog shouldn’t wear
the collar for more than 8 hours per day.
Caution:
When placing the collar on your dog, make sure it fits properly and the
contact points are pressed firmly against the dog’s skin. If the collar is
fied too loosely, it may move during the training process and the
contact points may hurt the dog’s skin.
The collar should also not be fied too ghtly: you should be able to
place a finger between the dog’s neck and the training collar. If placed
too ghtly, the collar may cause breathing difficules for your dog.
STEP 5. COLLAR FITTING
When you can't find your dog in the dark, you
can find it by lighng the LED light.

STEP 6. CHOOSE THE BEST STIMULATION LEVEL
Follow the steps below:
Important: always start with the vibraon mode first and use the stac
Smulaon mode as the last resort.
Depending on the model of your training collar, you may be able to access
anywhere from one to 99 different smulaon levels. This can help you find
the level that is best for your dog.
Once you’ve placed the collar on your pet, it’s me to find the most suitable
smulaon level.
At this stage of the process, you will need to watch your pet carefully for
the slightest changes in behavior like looking around in curiosity, scratching
at the collar or flicking ears. All these behaviors are indicators that you have
found a suitable smulaon level. This is also known as Recognion Level.
1. Start at the lowest smulaon level: press and hold the Vibraon or
Smulaon Buon connuously (further referred to as the [S] buon).
2. If your pet shows no reacon, repeat the first step several mes before
moving up to a higher smulaon level.
3. Your pet should not bark or panic when receiving smulaon. If this
happens, the smulaon level is too high and you need to go back to the
previous level and repeat the process.
4. Move up through the available smulaon levels unl your pet responds.
5. If your pet connues to show no response at the highest smulaon level,
check if the collar is fied properly. If your pet has long or thick fur, try using
the longer set of contact points. Then go back to step 1 and repeat the
process. If there is no change, you might need to trim your dogs hair around
the contact points.

DOG TRAINING GUIDE
BASIC OBEDIENCE TRAINING WITH THE ABBIDOT E-COLLAR
Dog Training Collar Introduction
Whether you are training a companion dog, a hunng dog or a dog
athlete, we generally want to aain the same results: we want our pets to
be happy and safe. We also want them to respond to commands mely
even when at a distance and in the presence of distracons.
The ABBIDOT Dog Training Collar is a powerful training tool that can help
you aain these results.
The ABBIDOT electronic training collar (e-collar) is a safe, reliable and
effecve training tool. With it, you can make mely correcons to your
dogs behavior — even at a distance.
Thanks to the collar’s adjustable levels, you get to match the intensity of
smulaon to your dogs temperament and the distracon level of the
moment for maximum training efficiency.
With that, correcng unwanted behaviors is only a fracon of you can do
with your new e-collar.
In fact, the ABBIDOT e-collar can be a powerful tool for encouraging
desired behavior. But first, you need to idenfy the right e-collar sengs
for your dog: the one that is high enough to be noced but not so high as
to be disrupve.
The next step would be for your dog to control the “behavior” of the
collar with their acons.
You may soon find that these methods of e-collar training are actually
gentler than many tradional leash-training methods. E-collar training can
improve communicaon with your pet by providing instant feedback to
your dog during training. This reduces confusion, fosters a posive
training atude and accelerates learning, rapidly producing off-leash
reliability.
Even if your dog already knows the basic obedience commands, follow
the procedures given. Your dog must learn how to respond to the e-collar
for each command before you can use your ABBIDOT collar for training at
a distance.

TEACHING BASIC OBEDIENCE
The “Sit” Command
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pets neck ABOVE the
e-collar and aach a 10-foot leash. Note: be sure the extra collar does not
put pressure on the contact points.
2. Hold the leash and the remote in one hand. Keep your other hand free
to guide your pet into a “Sit” posion.
3. Press and hold the [S] buon, starng at your pet’s Recognion Level.
4. Immediately give the “Sit” command while connuing to hold the [S]
buon.
5. Release the [S] buon as soon as your pet is in posion and praise him.
6. Release your pet from the “Sit” command and play.

16
background
The “Come” Command
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on
your pet’s neck ABOVE the collar
and aach a 10-foot leash.
Note: be sure the extra collar does not
put pressure on the contact points.
2. Hold the leash in one hand and the
remote in the other.
3. Wait for your pet to walk away from
you. Using the Recognion Level for your
pet, press and hold the [S] buon on
your remote.
4. Immediately give the command
“Come” while connuing to hold the [S]
buon.
5. Using the leash, gently guide your pet
toward you unl they begin to come in
your direcon.
6. Immediately release the
[S] buon as soon as your pet steps
towards you and praise them enthusias-
cally.
7. Quickly move backwards as your pet begins to come back to you praising

mes, back away from him without giving a command. When your pet
turns toward you, give the “Come” command (WITHOUT STIMULATION)
and praise them while you connue to back up. Praise your pet when he
returns to you.
11. Use your leash to prevent your pet from running past you. If your pet
manages to run past you, repeat Steps 3 through 8.
17

use treats.
6. Once your pet has seled for a few seconds, release him and play
calmly.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 5.
18
background
ELIMINATING UNWANTED BEHAVIOR
Jumping Up
Pets typically jump up to get aenon. If you do not want your pet to
jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not
encourage this behavior as well. This means that every me your pet
jumps on someone, they should be reprimanded or redirected to an
alternate and acceptable behavior, for which they can receive praise.
1. On the remote, select your pets Recognion Level.
2. As soon as your pet lis a paw off the ground to jump on you, press the
[S] buon and give the “Sit” command.
3. Release the [S] buon immediately once your pet is sing, and
verbally praise them.
4. If your pet ignores the smulaon, increase the Intensity Level.
5. Pracce this exercise in several different areas and use different people
for distracons.
Note: it is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command.
19
background
Digging
20
It is important to first understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs like
terriers, were bred to flush out prey and digging is very natural to them.
Other dogs may be digging to find a cool spot to lay down or simply out of
boredom.
Your pet may no longer have the desire to dig if they are is provided with
the following:
A cool, shaded area in which to lay down, and plenty of water.
An alternate acvity, such as a favorite toy.
Plenty of play, exercise, and aenon.
A yard free from rodents or prey that your dog may be trying to find.
1. Choose the intensity level that is one level above your pet’s Recognion
Level.
2. Place the collar on your pet and wait at least 10 minutes before leng
them out in the yard. No other people or pets should be in the yard, as you
do not want your pet to associate the smulaon with anything other than
digging. Your pet must be securely fenced in or contained during training.
3. From a window or area where your pet cannot see you, wait unl your pet
begins to dig.
4. As your pet starts digging, press the [S] buon and release it when the
digging stops. Only press the buon while your pet is in the act of digging
and do not say anything.
5. If your pet ignores the smulaon, increase the Intensity Level.
6. Connue to watch your pet as they may choose another area to dig.
7. Do not allow your pet in the yard unsupervised unl the digging has
stopped completely.
background
Chasing
Chasing is an insncve behavior smulated by moving objects. Some
dogs have a parcularly strong desire to chase that can put them in
harm’s way and leave you helpless. Never allow your dog off the leash or
out of a contained area unl they have learned the “Come” command,
regardless of the distracon. Be consistent and correct your dog every
me they chase something.
CAUTION! It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while
learning during on-leash training. Your dog should be on a strong leash,
long enough for him to aempt to chase an object, but short enough for
him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically
strong to restrain your dog when they try to chase.
1. If your dog has not learned the “Come” command, keep a leash on them
so that you can physically stop them before they reach the object that is
being chased.
2. Choose the intensity level that is one level above your pet’s Recognion
Level.
3. Set up a scenario where your dog is enced to chase an object. Common
items could be cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc. (do not use toys).
4. When the object passes in front of your dog, make sure to hold the leash
with a firm grip. As soon as your dog begins to chase the object, press and
hold the [S] buon unl they stop.
5. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the buon,
walk backwards and give the “Come” command. Praise your dog as they
come to you.
6. Repeat the process unl your dog stops chasing the object.

background
● The ABBIDOT Dog Training Collar is not designed to be worn constantly.
We strongly advise you to reserve collar usage to acve training sessions.
When you leave your dog unaended, make sure to take the collar off.
● Most dogs will feel uncomfortable when wearing the collar for the first
me. Don’t use any commands unl your dog has got used to the collar
which will normally take several days.
● Eliminate one unwanted acon or teach one obedience command at a
me. If you move too quickly with the training, your dog may become
confused.
● Be consistent with your training. Give your dog the same smulaon for
each unwanted acon. We suggest you to use Vibraon Smulaon before
starng the Stac Shock Smulaon. If you follow this training method,
your dog will learn that Stac Shock Smulaon might come aer
Vibraon. This way, the Vibraon Smulaon alone can effecvely to curb
unwanted behavior of your dog.
● Do not over-correct. Use as lile smulaon as possible to train your dog.
● Following a predefined scenario of all your training sessions can
dramacally improve your chances of success.
Trash Raiding
General Tips
The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempng
food from your pet’s environment. You can use the e-collar to teach your
pet to stay away from these items; however, you must be prepared to
correct your pet every me they approach them.
1. Choose the intensity level that is one level above your dogs Recognion Level.
2. Pick a temptaon for your pet and posion yourself where they can’t see you.
3. While your pet’s mouth is touching the temptaon, press and hold the [S]
buon. Immediately release the buon when your pet leaves the temptaon.
4. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the smulaon with
their behavior, not you.
5. If your pet does not respond to the smulaon, increase the Intensity Level
by 1 level and repeat the process.
6. Repeat this process in several different locaons with different temptaons.

● Should your dog react to the training by hiding or acng fearfully, try to
redirect their aenon to a simple command such as “Speak” or “Sit” to
calm them down. Use treats to help your dog understand what
commands have been done correctly.
You might need to use a higher seng with your large breed dog! Even
so, you sll want to begin with a low seng or simple vibraon and work
your way up unl you find something appropriate.
Step One: Size your e-collar appropriately for your larger dog, ensuring a
snug (yet not too ght) fit. You should be able to fit two fingers between
the contact leads and your dogs skin.
Your electric collars contact points should make contact with your dog’s
skin. Make sure they aren’t covered by maed fur.
The contact points should apply only light pressure to your dogs neck.
Step Two: Begin training using beep with vibraon mode. If you need to
use ‘safe shock with beep‘, start at level 1 and slowly increase unl you
find a suitable level.
Step Three: Give your dog a command he knows, while simultaneously
pressing the acvaon buon on your dog’s e-collar remote. You’ll
release the smulaon once your dog follows through!
Remember, this isn’t meant to be used as punishment and shouldn’t be
uncomfortable. It is only a sort of physical reinforcer to go along with
your audible commands.
Closely monitor your large breed dog during the first day of use to ensure
a proper, working fit.
Removing your dogs electric collar at night or when you can’t offer
supervision is recommended. There is always a slight chance the collar
can catch and cause a hazard.

Because smaller dogs are much more delicate, you want to stay on a
lower seng. Begin with an audible tone or vibraon, moving to one of
the lower sengs if necessary. Only move up if your dog doesn’t respond
to the current seng.Be very cauous when training small puppies. You
never want to frighten your puppy. Its best to avoid any physical
smulaon unl your dog reaches at least adolescence (18-24 months).
Limit your electric collar to an audible tone at this stage.
Step One: Size your e-collar appropriately for your smaller dog, ensuring
a snug (yet not too ght) fit. You should be able to fit two fingers
between the contact leads and your dog’s skin.
Your electric collars contact points should make contact with your dog’s
skin. Make sure they aren’t covered by maed fur.The contact points

A ‘marker’ is something we use to mark good behavior. A dog clicker is
used as a marker to mark good behavior before that treat comes! You can
also use the sound seng on your electric collar to mark good behavior!
DOG TRAINING TERMS AND WHAT THEY MEAN
Training Marker
Reinforcement is exactly what the word implies. You are reinforcing a dog
behavior you like or increasing the likelihood it will happen again.
The ‘posive’ precursor indicates addion, or something is being added
to reinforce the behavior. Offering a tasty treat for a job well done is
posive reinforcement.
Dog Training Reinforcement
Conditioning
Positive Reinforcement
Stopping the buzz vibraon from that electric collar once your dog
complies with your command (if being used in this way). increasing the
likelihood the dog will follow through faster next me.
Through repeated acts or behaviors, your dog is condioned to repeat
that behavior again and more frequently.
Negative Reinforcement
In classical condioning, the dog forms involuntary responses to things
happening. It is ‘associave learning.
Classical Conditioning
Operant condioning is learning through rewards/ outcomes or
consequences. Your dog does something good and receives a treat.
Operant condioning is voluntary, whereas classical condioning involves
involuntary responses.

Once my pet’s training is
complete, do I need to
keep using the collar?
How long can I
continuously deliver
Vibration or Shock
stimulation to my pet?
What should I do if my
dog’s neck becomes red
and irritated?
It fully depends on your and your pet’s
situaon. You might need to reinforce the
results of collar training from me to me.
No longer than 10 seconds for Vibraon mode.
No longer than 3 seconds for Stac Shock
mode.
IMPORTANT: while it is okay to use the
Vibraon mode for up to 10 seconds, it is highly
recommended to limit the connuous Stac
Shock smulaon to no more than 3 seconds
(the smaller the dog the shorter the me)
Stop using the product immediately for at
least 48 hours. If the condion persists
beyond 48 hours, consult your veterinarian.
Can I attach a leash to
the e-collar?
No, this can result in pulling the contact
points too ghtly against your dog’s neck. Use
a separate collar when needed.
How long can I leave the
e-collar on my dog for?
How long can I
continuously deliver
vibration/Shock to
my pet?
The collar is not designed to be worn
connuously. We recommend your pet only
wears the e-collar during training sessions or
other outdoor acvies.
The maximum amount of me you can press
the Vibraon/Shock Buon and deliver
Vibraon/Shock to your pet connuously is
10 seconds. Aer this, there’s a me-out and
Vibraon/Shock cannot be delivered for 5
seconds. Aer the 5 second me-out, you can
press the buon again to deliver
Vibraon/Shock.

Yes, the receiver collar is waterproof, but
the remote is not waterproof.
While the Vibraon/Shock smulaon may
be unpleasant, it is generally harmless to
your pet when used correctly. However,
your input as a trainer is essenal in
ensuring the safety of this process.
Your pet should be able to recognize basic
obedience commands such as “Sit” or “Stay”.
Pets should be at least 6 months old before
you can use the training collar to train them.
The range of the remote may be affected
by a number of factors like terrain,
weather, vegetaon, transmission from
other radio devices and so on.
Probably not. You may need to reinforce
training with the Receiver Collar from
me to me.
How long should the
training session be?
Will I get exactly 1500 feet
of range with the collar’s
remote?
Once my pet is trained and has
been obeying my commands,
will he have to continue to
wear the Receiver Collar?
How old does my pet have
to be for me to use the
e-collar for training?
Is the Vibration/Shock
safe for my pet?
Is the e-collar waterproof?
Training sessions should be kept short and
posive (10-15 minutes).
