CHARGING THE BATTERIES

Battery Care:
It is important to fully charge the batteries and fully discharge
them for the first three uses. After that it is not necessary to fully
discharge the batteries with each use, because NiMH do not
exhibit “memory effect” like other rechargeable battery types. It is
recommended that every six months you recondition the batteries
by fully discharging them and then fully charging them, this will
ensure you get the rated 500 charges per battery.

CHANGING THE INTENSITY LEVEL
OF STIMULATION
Rotating clockwise increases the
stimulation level and conversely,
rotating counter-clockwise lowers
the stimulation level.
It is highly recommended that the user practices changing levels
and modes before putting the collar receiver on the dog.
Setting the correct stimulation level for your dog is very important.
To set your “conditioning” stimulation level, put the collar receiver
(see page 22 for proper fitting technique) on your dog. Let him/
her get used to the collar receiver for a couple of hours. While
watching your dog, turn the level to “0” and press the stimulation
button.
Slowly turn the stimulation up at a rate of approximately 2-3
levels per second. When your dog first perceives the stimulation,
usually between 15 and 40, release the button. This is your
“conditioning” stimulation level. You may need to add a few
levels later as your dog becomes more conditioned to the
stimulation. The “conditioning” stimulation is used when the
trainer wants to use the stimulation in continuous mode.
Einstein Owner's Manual ET-400TS
15

For example, if you want your dog to come to you and heel, you
can hold the button down until your dog comes and heels or if
jumping is an issue, you can hold the button down anytime their
front paws are off the ground. Your dog will learn that he/she
controls the stimulation.
Setting the “Corrective” stimulation level is a little more difficult
due to the wide differences in temperaments and stimulation
tolerance among the many breeds of dogs. On average, it is
normally 20 to 40 levels higher than the “Conditioning” level.
This higher level will only be used in “Momentary” mode as not to
over-stimulate your dog.
This mode is used for stopping unwanted behaviors such
as chewing, digging, street-running, excessive barking, and
aggressiveness, etc. It is important to apply the “Momentary”
stimulus at the exact time of the unwanted behavior. Additional
pulses may be used to reinforce the command if compliance is
not immediate. A treat is recommended after compliance. If a
treat is not available, verbal positive reinforcement is acceptable.

IMPORTANT TRAINING TIP
E-Collars should be used to reinforce commands your dog already
knows. It is not a replacement for basic leash obedience training, but
a tool to allow you to better communicate to your dog.
For best results, use the least amount of stimulation required to
get compliance from your dog. A calm and consistent approach to
training will always produce better long term results. It is highly
recommended that aggressive dogs be taken to a professional trainer
for evaluation before e-collar use.
There are many different e-collar training techniques
recommended by a variety of professional trainers. We beleive
you, the owner of the dog, can best determine the most
successful technique for your dog. YouTube has many videos
demonstrating these varying techniques by simply searching
“e-collar training” or “remote dog training techniques”.
Good Luck with your training!
