The Dogtra 1900S WETLANDS is a 1-dog training system. Before first use, ensure the unit is fully charged for 2 hours. The receiver should be fitted snugly on the dog's neck, allowing two fingers to fit under the strap. Always start at the lowest stimulation level and increase gradually based on your dog's reaction.
Overview of the system
The system consists of a handheld transmitter and a receiver collar. The transmitter features a rheostat dial for precise intensity control (0-127), a Nick button for a single pulse, a Constant button for continuous stimulation, and a Pager button for vibration.
Turning the system on and off
To turn the transmitter on, hold the button on the right side until the LCD screen illuminates. To turn it off, hold the same button until the screen shuts off. To turn the receiver on, hold the on/off button until the LED turns green. To turn it off, hold the button until the LED turns red.
Receiver fitting
Proper fit is essential for consistent correction. The contact points must press firmly against the dog's skin. If the collar is too loose, the receiver may move, causing inconsistent contact and potential skin irritation. Reposition the receiver every few hours and remove it after 8 hours of use.
Charging the battery
The system uses lithium polymer batteries. Recharge if the indicator light is red, the transmitter LCD shows only 1 bar, or the unit does not stay on. A full charge takes 2 hours. Always ensure the rubber charging cap is securely in place after charging to maintain the waterproof seal.
Stimulation and training
The rheostat dial allows for gradual intensity adjustments from 0 to 127. Always start at the lowest level. The Nick button provides a single rapid pulse, while the Constant button provides continuous stimulation for up to 12 seconds (it will automatically shut off after 12 seconds as a safety feature). The Pager button provides vibration.
Maintenance
After each training session, inspect the unit for damage. Rinse the receiver and clean out any dirt or debris. Ensure the rubber charging cap is secure during use. Store the unit at room temperature and charge it fully before extended storage.
Troubleshooting
If the dog is not reacting, check the fit, contact points, and intensity level. If the unit is not holding a charge, inspect the charging port for debris or a damaged pin. Use the provided test light to verify stimulation output.

Practical help
Common problems
Dog is not reacting to the receiver
Ensure the receiver and transmitter are on, the collar is tight enough for contact points to touch the skin, and the intensity level is high enough.
LED indicator is on, but no stimulation is felt
Test the system using the provided test light. Your tolerance may be higher than the dog's; check the battery level.
Unit is not holding a charge
Clean the charging port with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol. Check if the charging pin is damaged or wobbling.
Transmitter has no range
Ensure the antenna is not damaged. Hold the transmitter vertically above your head and avoid obstacles like metal structures.
