General Tips

Important: The following training instructions were written to be used with the Remote
Transmitter programmed to modes 1 through 4
• Eliminate one misbehaviour or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast
with the training, your dog may become confused.
• Be consistent. Give your dog an Audible Tone or Stimulation with each misbehaviour.
• Do not over-correct your dog. Use as few Stimulations as possible to train your dog.
• Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your dog 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 dog reacts to the training by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and
appropriate behaviour such as the "Sit" command.
• Never use the Remote Trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behaviour. If you
are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certifi ed trainer.
• The objective is to train your dog to respond to your spoken command and the Audible Tone
from the receiver in normal circumstances. After proper training, the use of Stimulation should
only be necessary if your dog repeats unwanted behaviour.

Teaching Basic Obedience

Note: Keep your pet close to you while teaching the "Sit" command.

The "Sit" Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet's neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach a
3 metre lead. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Hold your lead and Remote Transmitter in one hand. Press and hold the Side Button to send an
Audible Tone to your pet while saying "Sit" and if necessary using your free hand to guide your pet into
a "Sit" position. Release the Side Button immediately when your pet sits. Repeat this several times.
3. If your pet sits reliably on receiving the Audible Tone and the spoken "Sit" command, then training
is complete. Release your pet from the "Sit" position and praise him. If not, move on to Step 4.
4. Hold the lead and Remote Transmitter in one hand. Press and hold the Upper Button to send
an Audible Tone and Stimulation to your pet while saying "Sit" and if necessary using your free
hand to guide your pet into the "Sit" position. Release the Upper Button immediately when
your pet sits. Repeat this several times.
