Training Guide
General Tips
Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with•
training, your pet may become confused.
Be consistent. Correct your pet every time he misbehaves.•
Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in•
which he has a history of misbehaving. However, setting up a situation as a training session can
dramatically improve your chances of success.
If your pet reacts to the tones by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and•
appropriate behavior, such as the “sit” command.
Pets should be at least 6 months old before using the Trainer.•
Only let responsible family members use the Trainer. It is not a toy!•
Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tones. Therefore, training sessions•
should be conducted out of hearing range of other pets.
Never use the Remote Trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. We•
recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional trainer to determine if your pet
might be aggressive.
Training instructions in this guide are written for use with the Transmitter being programmed to•
Dog 1. Adjust the instructions to fit your desired training mode.
Teaching Your Pet the Positive Tone
Before using the Trainer to correct your pet, spend 10 to 15 minutes per day for 2 or 3 days
helping him create the association of the tone with reward and praise. To accomplish this:
Push the Tone button for 2 consecutive seconds.1.
Release the button and immediately reward your pet with verbal praise, petting, or a small food2.
reward. Spend 3 to 5 seconds on your rewarding.
Wait a few minutes and repeat holding the Tone button for 2 seconds following with praise.3.
Vary the reward to prevent your pet from anticipating a specific type.This stage of training is
complete when your pet obviously anticipates a reward when he hears the positive tone.
Find the Best Stimulation Level for Your Pet
Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
The Remote Trainer has 8 different Stimulation Levels.This allows you to choose the Stimulation
that is best for your pet.
Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the Stimulation Level that
is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level.
A slight change in your pet’s behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar,
or flicking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.
Follow the steps below to find your pet’s Recognition Level:
Starting at Level 1 on the Digital Display, press the Stimulation button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.1.
If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the Stimulation level several times before moving up to the2.
next level.
