Dog Care TC08 Dog Training Shock Collar User Manual

Product Overview

The Dog Care TC08 WELL-D Dog Training System includes a remote control, a receiver collar, and a USB cable for charging. The collar is designed to fit comfortably on your dog, with adjustable sizing to ensure the electrodes make proper contact with your pet’s skin. The remote control features a simple interface, including buttons for vibration, sound, and static stimulation, as well as a keypad lock to prevent accidental adjustments.

Key Features

1. Multiple Training Modes:

   • Vibration Mode: A gentle vibration can be used to get your dog’s attention.

   • Sound Mode: A beep sound acts as a warning or command.

   • Static Stimulation Mode: Adjustable static levels allow you to customize the intensity based on your dog’s size, weight, and sensitivity.

2. Channel Switching:

   • The remote can control up to 2 collars simultaneously, making it ideal for households with multiple dogs.

3. Long Battery Life:

   • Both the remote and collar have a standby time of up to 90 days and 10 days, respectively, and can be fully charged in just 2-3 hours.

4. Waterproof Design:

   • The receiver collar is IP67 waterproof, making it suitable for use in rain or while swimming. However, the remote is not waterproof and should be kept away from water.

Setting Up the Collar

1. Charging:

   • Charge both the remote and collar for at least 2 hours before first use. The remote’s STATUS LED will turn from red to green when fully charged, and the collar’s STATUS LED will do the same.

2. Adjusting Static Levels:

   • Rotate the INTENSITY DIAL on the remote to adjust the static level. The scale ranges from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest intensity. Start at level 1 and gradually increase based on your dog’s response.

3. Fitting the Collar:

   • Ensure the collar is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit one finger underneath it. For dogs with thick fur, use a comb to separate the fur so the electrodes can make direct contact with the skin.

Training Modes

1. Vibration Mode:

   • Press the VIBRATE BUTTON briefly for a single vibration, or hold it for continuous vibration.

2. Sound Mode:

   • Press the BEEP BUTTON briefly for a single beep, or hold it for continuous beeping.

3. Static Stimulation Mode:

   • Press the STATIC BUTTON briefly for a single static stimulation. Do not hold the button, as prolonged shocks are not recommended. The static stimulation will automatically cut off after 3 seconds to prevent over-correction.

4. Switching Channels:

   • If you’re training multiple dogs, toggle the CHANNEL SWITCH to select the collar you want to control.

Pairing the Remote and Collar

The Dog Care TC08 comes pre-paired from the factory, but if you need to pair additional collars, follow these steps:

1. Collar: Hold the ON/OFF BUTTON for 5 seconds until the STATUS LED flashes green.

2. Remote: Toggle the CHANNEL SWITCH to select the desired channel (I or II). Press the VIBRATE BUTTON and BEEP BUTTON simultaneously for 3 seconds until the STATUS LED flashes green.

3. If pairing is successful, the collar will beep, vibrate, and flash green twice.

Training Tips

• Consistency is Key: Use the same verbal commands every time you train your dog. Be consistent with your training methods to avoid confusion.

• Positive Reinforcement: Reward your dog with treats or praise for good behavior. The training collar should be used as a tool to reinforce commands, not as a punishment.

• Start Small: Begin with the lowest static level and gradually increase if necessary. Always observe your dog’s reaction to ensure they are comfortable.

• Avoid Overuse: Do not use the collar for more than 12 hours at a time, as prolonged use can cause skin irritation.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

1. Weak or No Static Stimulation:

   • Ensure the electrodes are making direct contact with your dog’s skin. If your dog has thick fur, try separating the fur or trimming it slightly around the electrodes.

2. Remote/Collar Not Responding:

   • Check the battery levels and ensure the keypad lock is not engaged. If the issue persists, try re-pairing the remote and collar.

3. Collar Beeping or Vibrating Randomly:

   • Ensure no buttons on the remote are stuck or being pressed accidentally.

4. Signal Interference:

   • The remote’s range can be affected by obstacles, electromagnetic fields, or weather conditions. Avoid using the collar in areas with strong interference.

Important Safety Notes

• Do Not Use on Puppies: The collar is not recommended for dogs under 6 months old, pregnant dogs, or dogs with health issues.

• Avoid Over-Correction: Use the static stimulation mode sparingly and only when necessary. Always praise your dog for good behavior.

• Keep Away from Children: This training device should only be used by adults familiar with dog training techniques.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the remote and collar with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid submerging the collar in water for extended periods, even though it is waterproof.

• Storage: When not in use, store the collar and remote in a cool, dry place. Ensure the charging port’s rubber lid is securely closed to prevent water damage.
