Training Sessions & Determining Stimulation Levels: Keep
your training sessions short and watch your dog's reaction - your pet
will tell you what level of Static Stimulation is appropriate to use and
when to release the button. Please refer to "Find the Best Stimulation
Level for Your Pet" for additional information.
Stopping Unwanted Behaviour: When stopping unwanted
behaviour, it is suggested to use higher levels of Static Stimulation -
the pet should be convinced that his unacceptable actions (not you)
caused the annoying sensation to happen.
Dogs First Learn One Command: Focus on learning one com-
mand before moving on to another. When teaching a command like
"heel", "come", "sit", or "down", many trainers recommend using
low levels of Static Stimulation. The dog quickly learns to turn off or
completely avoid the unpleasant sensation.
Reinforcing Known Commands: To reinforce commands the
dog already knows, it is suggested to use medium Static Stimulation
levels. This teaches the dog to respect instructions by always listening
and obeying.
Note: Using praise or treats to reward the correct response is great
for encouraging the dog, but it is suggested you and your family
members always remain the dog's leader.
Teaching the Positive Tone
Before using the Remote 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:
1. Push the Tone Button (green) for 2 consecutive seconds.
2. Release the button and immediately reward your pet with verbal

Never use the Remote Trainer to correct or
eliminate any form of aggressive behaviour.
We recommend you contact your local
veterinarian or professional trainer to
determine if your pet might be aggressive.
