INSTRUCTION GUIDE
Congratulations! You are now the owner of a Spray Commander training
system with remote control designed for your dog’s education. Your new Spray
Commander system can be used to interrupt any of your dog’s unwanted behaviors
such as running away and chasing, stealing objects or food, digging, jumping on
guests, etc. This system will improve and strengthen dog-master relationships
because the correction is associated with the action and not the master. It will
allow you to redirect your dog’s attention and behavior while promoting a healthy
emotional state.
How it works:
Spray Commander uses a remote control and a harmless spray collar to re-direct
the attention of the distracted or misbehaving dog, or one that has learned that
obedience is optional. It can be activated at a distance up to 250 ft (85 m). In
addition to having two levels of spray to disrupt unwanted behaviors, the Spray
Commander also incorporates a sound signal for positive reinforcement. You can
use it to let your dog know when the behavior he is engaged in is acceptable. The
sound becomes a reward for your dog. For more information on positive training,
please refer to the enclosed CD.
This innovative system causes no secondary effects (fear, burns, pain).
This instruction guide and enclosed CD will provide you with all the information
required to maximize the efficiency of your new Spray Commander.
THE KIT INCLUDES
• Spray device
• Remote control
• Adjustable collar
• Can of stainfree, hypo-allergenic spray
• Two 6-volt alkaline batteries
• Instruction guide with warranty card and CD

PREPARATION
Adjusting the collar to the spray device
1. Remove the keeper from the black collar (A). Pass the black collar (B) through the
loops of the spray device (C). Put the keeper back on the collar (D). The curved
edge of the keeper should face inward.
2. Feed the free end of the collar into the slot of the buckle that is closest to the
Multivet logo (A) from the back to the front. Then, thread the free end of the collar
through the outside slot (B) from the front to the back. The free end should now
hang on the outside, then thread the keeper (C). When you have completed this
section, the assembled collar looks has illustrated (D).
Take off all other collars your dog may be wearing and place
the spray collar around his neck, making sure the spray valve is
directed toward the snout. Adjust the collar to fit like a regular
collar. You should be able to easily pass two fingers between
your dog’s neck and the device (A). We suggest that you check
the collar regularly to make sure that it is well adjusted.
Note: If these instructions are not properly followed, the buckle can easily be pulled off the
collar. This could lead to the device being lost or damaged.

Your dog must get used to the device before you actually start using it. We suggest
that you make your dog wear the spray device during 4 to 5 days before inserting
the battery and filling the device. At the same time, we also suggest that you remove
and put the collar back frequently on your dog.
Filling the device
1. Set the device on a flat surface, with the fill-up valve turned upwards. Shake the
spray can before using it.
2. Hold the can upside down, then insert the aerosol tip in the fill-up valve – the
deepest cavity (A) – then press down firmly for 10 seconds (B). Release pressure
and press down for another 10 seconds, then release.
Note: If spray is escaping as you attempt to fill the device, increase the downward pressure on
the refill can to get a better seal. You cannot overfill the device. When completely filled, there
should be enough gas in your device for 18-23 sprays.
Inserting the battery
1. Slide off the battery cover from the spray device and insert one 6-volt alkaline
battery without forcing it, keeping the polarity in mind (+ and -) (A, B). Slide the
cover back on.
2. Slide off the battery cover from the remote control and insert one 6-volt alkaline
battery, respecting polarity (+ and -) (C, D). Slide the cover back on.

Using the Remote Control
• The upper button (position no 1) emits a sound signal.
• The center button (position no 2) sends a short spray.
• The lower button (position no 3) sends a long spray.
Note: Check if the device is working by pressing the upper button (A)
on your remote control; you should hear a beep.
The Spray Settings - The spray is used to interrupt the dog and redirect his
attention. The more a dog seems absorbed by his activity, the longer the spray will
have to be to stop and correct his behavior, and to redirect his attention.
No programming needed - Your Spray Commander device and remote control
are now pre-programmed to make their use easier for you and your pet!
Adjust the device onto the dog’s neck with the Spray Commander logo facing
inward. Make sure the spray nozzle is pointing towards the dog’s snout.
Turn the device on.
DO’S AND DON’T’S
• Go through the entire training CD before using your Spray Commander to truly
understand the product and how it can work for you and your pet.
• Never inflict punishment, pain or cruelty on your pet – even if he refuses to listen.
Have patience and follow the training tips provided.
• Reward your pet when he listens and obeys your commands.
• Never let the dog ignore a command he understands.
• Do not use the spray when you want your dog to obey a command that he does
not understand yet.
A
• Never fill the device while your dog is wearing it because it may damage the fill-up
valve.
• Never fasten a leash to the Spray Commander collar.
• To ensure that your dog does not make the connection between you and the Spray
Commander, don’t let him see you prepare the device, neither for the first try, nor
for subsequent use. Keep your dog away while you prepare the device as well as
when you fill it or change the battery.
• Make sure the device is always ready to function, should the dog display
undesirable behavior. We recommend that you verify the device every day to make
sure it contains enough spray.
• Put the collar around the dog’s neck at least 20 minutes before the training
session begins so that the dog doesn’t associate wearing the spray collar with
the exercises.
• Turn OFF the device while not in use.
IMPORTANT REMARKS
1. The Spray Commander is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children. Use
it only for its training purpose.
2. Multivet’s Spray Commander must be used only on healthy dogs. We recommend
that you take your dog to a veterinarian before using the Spray Commander if he
is not in good health.
3. The device is splash proof but not completely watertight. Remove it before
letting your dog go for a swim.
4. Keep the device clean at all times. Do not immerse it in water when cleaning.
Simply use a dry cloth to wipe away dirt.
5. Do not leave your device unattended where your dog could get a hold of it and
damage it through chewing.
6. Always make sure that the batteries you are using are still adequate to operate
the device. The device requires 6-volt alkaline batteries, easily available from
Multivet.
7. Never fill the device with any other substance than the one provided by
Multivet. Using another substance, as well as opening the device, will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
8. If your dog tries to take off the device, a harness can be used instead of the
collar provided in the kit. Dog harnesses are available in all good pet shops.
9. The hypo-allergenic spray can is a pressurized container. Do not pierce it, heat
it or dispose of it in a fire as it may explode. Please read instructions on the
can.
10. Do not expose the device neither to freezing temperatures nor to conditions
warmer than 113 °F (45 °C). Be particularly careful not to leave the device in
direct sunlight, either by a window or in a car on a summer day, etc.
11. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. This will invalidate the warranty
and make repairing more difficult. If the spray commander doesn’t work, call
our toll-free customer service: 1-800-303-0244.
Most technical problems can be solved by making a simple telephone call to
our customer service. When calling us, please have your device on hand with its
serial number.
The device is activated by radio signals sent by the Spray Commander remote
control. The strength of the signal may be affected by environmental conditions,
topological features and electromagnetic interference.
This being a radio frequency device, battery consumption can be elevated.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If you have problems with your Spray Commander Remote Control:
1. Make sure that both the device (receiver collar) and the transmitter (remote)
have the same ID number (ex. R915 ID 01 for the receiver, and T915 01 for the
transmitter).
2. Place a new battery into the receiver collar. Fill the device, then turn it on.
3. Press button 1 on the remote control; the receiver collar should emit a beep.
4. Press buttons 2 and 3; the receiver collar should release a small spray (button
2), and a large one (button 3). If nothing happens when pressing buttons 1, 2
or 3, there may be a problem with either the transmitter or the receiver circuits.
Please contact our customer service.
5. If any of the 3 buttons produces a reaction in the receiver collar, then the
transmitter is working.
6. However, if no spray is released with buttons 2 and 3, but button 1 activates
the sound signal, then the batteries could be low, or the device may not be
fi lled properly. If all is fine in both cases, then there could be a problem with the
spraying mechanism on the receiver collar.
7. If both spray buttons work, but no sound signal can be heard when pressing
button 1, then the piezo buzzer may be faulty. Please contact our customer
service.
8. If the device doesn’t seem to hold its contents, or gas can be heard leaking
from the collar, please contact our customer service.
