SETTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL

 

It is very important to set the correct intensity level on 
your  R.A.P.T.

 

Training  System  before  beginning  your 

training  sessions  to  provide  the  proper  level  of 
stimulation without over-stimulating your dog. 

  

1.  Place the Intensity Selection dial so that the system 

is set on Level 1. 

2.  Turn  on  the  Collar  Receiver  and  then fit  it  properly 

around your dog’s neck. 

3.  Press  the  ‘Cont.’  button  and  check  for  a  reaction.  

Indications  of  your  dog  feeling  the  stimulation 
include  confusion  on  it’s  face,  ears  perking  up, 
changes in tail movements, etc. 

4.  If  there  are  no  signs  of  your  dog  feeling  the 

stimulation,  increase  the  Intensity  Level  in 
increments  of  one  until  your  dog  reacts  to  the 
stimulation. 

5.  At this point, increase the Intensity Level by one or 

two.  This should be your dog’s ideal training level. 

NOTE 

Some dogs may require more or less stimulation depending 
upon their individual temperament and/or size.
