How the System Works
The PetSafe®Remote Spray Trainer has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets of any size.
This system assists you in controlling your pet without a leash in a range up to 300 yards. In addition
to having 4 levels of spray, it also incorporates tone to reinforce training. At the push of a button, the
Remote Transmitter sends a signal activating the Receiver Collar to spray. Using the Remote Spray Trainer
consistently and correctly, many misbehaviors that your pet exhibits can be corrected and any basic
obedience commands can be taught.

Key Definitions
Remote Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal to the Receiver Collar. It is waterproof.
Transmitter Indicator Light: Indicates that a button is pressed and also serves as a
low-battery indicator.
Intensity Dial: Provides multiple levels of spray so you can match the correction to
your pet’s temperament.
Upper Button: This button is factory-set to deliver a Negative Tone only.
Lower Button: This button is factory-set to deliver the spray correction set by the Intensity Dial.
Side Button: This button is factory-set to deliver a Positive Tone only.
Universal Charging Adaptor: Used to charge the Receiver Collar and the Remote Transmitter.
Charging Jack: For connecting the charger. Although the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar are
waterproof without the charger cover, keep the cover in place when not charging to keep debris out
of the opening.
Continuous Spray: You control when and how much spray is delivered to your dog through the
Receiver Collar. When the spray correction (lower button) is pressed, the spray will be delivered
with 1.5 second intervals. If you continue to press the lower button the spray will time out after
10 seconds. It will remains in timeout until the button is released.
Negative Tone: Use a Negative Tone (Upper Button) with a spray to stop unwanted behaviors.
Timing is critical. The Negative Tone followed by the spray should occur during or immediately
after the unwanted behavior. Once your dog associates the Negative Tone with the spray, you will
only need to use the Negative Tone.
Positive Tone: Use the Positive Tone (Side Button) as a marker to reinforce positive behavior.
Again, timing is critical. Praise or treat the dog immediately following the Positive Tone.
Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Remote Transmitter. It is waterproof.
Low Spray Indicator: After the yellow LED appears there will be 5-10 additional sprays before
the collar is completely empty.
Two Color LED: Indicates when the Receiver Collar has been turned on or off.This light also
serves as a low battery indicator. Please see page 7 for additional LED functions.
