Observe the dog for a reaction, such

as a head shake, neck movement, or

just a change in expression.
Sometimes dogs will vocalize due to

the surprise of the electrical

stimulation. If the dog vocalizes more

than once, the intensity level is too

high for beginning training.

4

If there is no reaction, increase the

intensity level by one level until the

dog has a slight but recognizable

reaction to the stimulation.

The intensity level that causes a slight but

recognizable reaction is your dog's

baseline level for beginning collar training.

You do not need to, and should not, apply

this intensity selection test again.
After you begin training, the dog’s

performance guides your intensity

selection. As the dog advances in training,

you may need to change the level

depending upon the training situation.

Changing th  Intensity Level

You can select a different intensity level

or each dog collar device.
