What you need
How it works
Nutritionally balanced diet for your dog
4 D-cell alkaline batteries
Dry or semi-moist treats or kibble
Phillips (cross head) screwdriver
The Teach & Treat is a reward system that reinforces good behaviour by remotely dispensing
dry treats/kibble at the push of a button. It can be used with or without an audible tone and
also has a Fixed/Variable setting for the treats/kibble. The system is very eective in stopping
problem behaviours such as begging and jumping on guests and teaching calm behaviours
such as Down/Stay.
It is important that your dog is already on a nutritionally balanced feeding program before
you begin using the Teach & Treat. If you are using dry dog food/kibble, ensure it is the
correct size and can be used in the Teach & Treat for training.
Note: If you free feed your dog and he shows no interest in the kibble from the Teach &
Treat, change to specific meal feeding times during the day while training with the Teach
& Treat. This should make the dispensed kibble more enticing. If you use treats instead of
kibble, your training sessions should be extended over a longer period, and the total calorie
intake should be subtracted from your dog’s daily intake of food. For most dogs, treats
should make up less than 10% of a dog’s daily food intake.

Install the batteries Load treats or kibble
A. Remove the battery door on the bottom of
the dispenser and insert 4 D-cell alkaline
batteries (not included). Replace the
battery door.
B. Remove the screw securing the battery
cover to the back of the remote. Insert two
3V Lithium CR2032 batteries (provided).
Replace the battery cover.
The LED on the remote glows when you
press a button: green when the batteries
are good, and red when batteries are low.
We recommend you wash and rinse the tray
liner and the treat/kibble discs before use.
Once the parts are dry, replace the tray liner
and continue setup:
A. Select the kibble disc that best fits the
dry or semi-moist kibble or treat you will
be using. (Oval or round treats/kibble of
uniform size work best.)
B. Place the selected disc onto the dispensing
mechanism in the hopper and turn it
clockwise to lock it in place.
C. Add 500 ml of your dog’s favourite dry
or semi-moist treats/kibble to the hopper.
If using your dog’s regular meal for
training, place one meal’s worth of food
in the hopper.

3Turn on and test the dispenser
For best results, perform these steps away from your dog:
A. Press the power switch on the back of the dispenser to turn the unit on (|). The status
light will glow green.
B. If your dog is in the room with you, open the lid and set the Volume switch to O. It is
best to let your dog get used to the sound of the dispenser before adding a tone.
C. Press the dispense button on the remote to dispense the food. You may need to press
the button a few times to get the treats/kibble to dispense after filling.
D. Once the treats/kibble start dispensing, press the dispense button several more times
to make sure the food size is compatible with the disc you selected. If the food size is
correct, a treat/kibble should dispense each time you press the dispense button .
Jamming will occur if the treats/kibble are too large or moist.

Introduce your dog to the Teach & Treat
4
ENFRNLESITDE

The Teach & Treat includes an audible tone that can be used to help introduce your
dog to the system, as well as additional training. Using the remote and treat dispenser,
spend 10-15 minutes a day for a few days to teach your dog the association. Most dogs
quickly learn a treat follows the tone.
A. Before teaching your dog the tone, set the Volume switch to O.
B. Place treats/kibble by hand in front of the treat dispenser. After your dog eats them,
repeat adding more treats/kibble.
C. If your dog is comfortable with the treat dispenser, press the dispense button on the
remote to dispense the treats/kibble. Continue until your dog is comfortable taking the
food from the dispenser.
D. Move the Volume switch to Low. Press the dispense button on the remote to
dispense treats/kibble. Repeat 6-8 times. Your dog will learn the treats follow the tone.
E. Some dogs become very attentive to the dispenser, however they must also learn who
is controlling the treat dispensing. If your dog automatically looks at you for reassurance
between treats or because he knows who is controlling the treat dispensing, you are
ready to move on to additional training. Ensure you reward him each time he looks to
you by toning and treating. If your dog has not learned you are controlling the treats, get
his attention by calling his name and when he looks, press the dispense button on the
remote to tone and treat. Repeat until your dog is consistent.
Note: To ensure your dog has learned the tone/treat association, practice in dierent
locations and add distance. Repeat until your dog consistently responds to the tone from 2-3
metres away.

5Train for success
Successful training is not only about eliminating unwanted behaviours but replacing those
behaviours with routines that are safe and easy to learn for you and your pet. The Teach &
Treat is designed specifically to create new, positive habits in response to the most common
household dilemmas. With the ability to reward your pet in a separate location, you’re
unlocking the potential for good behaviour in the entire home—not just by your side.
For training to be successful you should spend at least 10-15 minutes per day over a
2-week period training. The Teach & Treat is very versatile and can be used to improve
many behaviours.

General training tips:
• For multi-dog households, train one dog at a time.
• Use only dry or semi-moist treats/kibble that fit in the small or large disc.
• When using the remote, it is best that your dog associates the treats/kibble with you,
not the remote. Don’t point the remote at your pet.
• Keep training fun! Begin training with his favourite treats/kibble until your dog is
comfortable taking food from the dispenser.
• If your dog barks, tries to bite or paw at the Teach & Treat, change his focus to you.
Give him treats from your hand before using the Teach & Treat. As he quietens and
gives you good behaviours, give a treat from the Teach & Treat.
• Make sure your dog is motivated to work for the treats/kibble before starting to train.

What if my dog is afraid
of the Teach & Treat?
Begin by giving treats from your hand. After providing a few treats/
kibble, make a trail of treats/kibble leading to the Teach & Treat. Do
not dispense any treats but allow your dog to walk up to the Teach
& Treat. After repeating this several times, your dog will learn to
walk up to the Teach & Treat without hesitation.
My dog is barking or
pawing at the dispenser.
If your dog barks or paws at the Teach & Treat, his attention needs
to be refocused on you. Do not dispense any treats/kibble if your
dog is barking or pawing at the dispenser. When your dog is quiet
or not pawing, give him a treat/kibble from your hand. Repeat,
giving him a treat/kibble from your hand several times until he is
quiet or not pawing. Gradually increase the interval between treats/
kibble, this will extend the time of not pawing and not barking.
Once he consistently waits for his treats/kibble, begin treating him
from the Teach & Treat.
My Teach & Treat is
dispensing slowly. Ensure the treats/kibble are the correct size for the disc.
